Halloween Countdown
Eight Exceptionally Creepy Movie Characters
MARTIN LANG
The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
Irish eyes were certainly not smiling when Barry Keoghan took this role; the young Dublin actor plays a powerful teenager who must be one of the most unnerving characters in recent memory.
PATRICK BATEMAN
American Psycho, available now on Netflix, Virgin TV 999
Responsible for the profiling of investment bankers everywhere, Christian Bale’s psychotic serial killer is unforgettable; you’ll never listen to Huey Lewis the same way again…
AMY DUNNE
Gone Girl, available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
She might have been Amazing Amy once upon a time, but now she’s just alarming! It’s a reminder that it’s always the smart, quiet ones you should look out for…
JOHN DOE
Seven, available now on Netflix, Virgin TV 999
Nothing good comes from someone being named John Doe – nothing. This bloke? Well, he pushed that logic to the most extreme levels possible!
EDWARD SCISSORHANDS
Edward Scissorhands, available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
OK, so he had a heart of gold – who cares?! He had blades for fingers! If you’re cool with that, then we don’t know what to tell you…
POPPY ADAMS
Kingsman: The Golden Circle, now showing on Sky Cinema, Virgin TV 301
It’s not just the evil acts that get us here; it’s that they’re all done with a 1000-watt smile. If that doesn’t send shivers down your spine, nothing will!
THANOS
Avengers: Infinity War, available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
He isn’t just the most villainous bloke going – he’s also the most powerful. That, we’re sure you’ll agree, is a pretty unsettling combination!
ANNIE WILKES
Misery, available now on Netflix, Virgin TV 999
She might have been a nurse, but we can’t imagine a more cockadoodie carer! Kathy Bates has haunted dreams for years after this role...
