Favorite horror characters

List your favorite characters from any realm of horror and why . ("I just think he is cool" is acceptable)

special thanks to zwoti for reminding me what the point of this borard was. Especially so close to halloween)

For me:

I love Cooper, Sgt Wells and Spooney from Dog Soldiers. Maybe they dont have the most sophisticated dialogue in the world, but they are godamn entertaining.

Cooper is the typical caring strong guy. I love White Knight type characters because that is always how i have seen myself.

Wells is the good, well Sarge character.

Spooney...Well, Spoon single Handedly kicks a werewolf's ass. If its buddy hadnt shown up, he would have kept kicking its ass. I always loved the part where they decide they need something "loud and fast". Everyone looks at spoon, and he says "What? You what?" hehe, classic.


I also love Ripley from the Alien series (she was even cool in Ressurection, which doesnt count....) Hell, i named my pet rat Ripley. She is the ultimate kick-ass female lead, and she never went nuts like sarah conner.

Always loved the Space Marine from Doom. hell, I like the guy from Quake too. Those games still scare the piss outta me.

I like most of theprotagonists from Lovecraft's stories. Read a couple that are set in the back country... that guy really didnt like rednecks....

Speaking of Spoon, what the hell happened to our beloved Ds_Spoon?


-------------------------
Freddy and Micheal are slashers, not characters, so they don't counts, so...

Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street. She is one brave ass bitch.

Clarice Starling from Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. The 'relationship' bond she shares with the good doctor is just... interesting.

The chick from Resident Evil. See kicked some serious zombie ass.

That one guy who said 'I kill for the lord!' or something like that. I can't remember anything right now. To shit-faced.

Theres more but I'm too tired to keep typing.

Some memorable characters in horror for me would be.

Renfield--Dracula 1931--Dwight Frye

Larry Talbot--The Wolfman 1941--Lon Chaney Jr.

Ed Harley--Pumpkinhead 1989--Lance Henricksen [ My son was the same age at the time of this release so I could relate to his anguish ]

Ash--Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness--Bruce Campbell [ I thought his acting in the first one kinda sucked ]

thats it for now...lunch is over....why do we have to work for a living?

Oh...and it would be ashame if we lost zwoti.

Cooper looked out for sam, he called for him before he got attacked by ryan at the end. he also risked his carreer to save a dog in the beginning... you got cooper all wrong.

Ah, now this is my kind of topic, my favourite part of movies is usually the charcters...


Frederick Loren(1959)/Stephen Price (1999) House on Haunted Hill, they are definatly my favourites. Vincent Price close to the top of his game, and the best Ive ever seen Geoffery Rush. Just the nature of the character, and the dark comedy....Amazing characters.

I gotta go, Ill post some more later

I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushin that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by
