Jigsaw (Saw)


John Kramer was a civil engineer dying from an inoperable frontal lobe tumor  that had developed from colon cancer. After a failed suicide attempt, Kramer experienced a new respect for his own life and set out to put others through deadly trials to help them appreciate their own lives by testing their will to live through self-sacrifice. Frequently the tests were symbolic of a perceived flaw in each person's life.

Chestburster (Alien)


The Chestburster (aka burster) is a Xenomorph larvae or Baby Alien. Its egg is laid in the host's bronchial tubes by a Facehugger, where it hatches. It then burrows for the host's aorta (major artery in the heart), where it feeds on absorbed nutrients and white blood cells. After about an hour or two, it lets go, and begins swimming about in the host's body, causing mild discomfort at times. It can take from 1-24 hours after it lets go, for it to become large enough to leave the hosts body. It then finds the sternum, and starts chewing. This causes the victim great pain, shock, and blood loss. Then, true to its namesake, it pops out, and finds a nursery, chicken coop, or, less messy, a food locker, something with a large amount of helpless meat.

Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

The character wears masks made of human skin (a practice which led to his name) and engages in murder and cannibalism.  He lives with a poor Southern family of fellow cannibals and serial-killers, who often behave abusively and violently towards him. 

Signature:  Chainsaw and Sledgehammer

Ghost Face

Ghostface often calls his victims on the phone, taunting or threatening them before killing them with a 10.5 inch hunting knife. Even though he is usually known for asking his victims horror film trivia while stalking  them, he only does this six times in the Scream Series.

Freddy Krueger


Krueger is undead, and can attack his victims from within their own dreams. He is commonly identified by his burned, disfigured face, red and dark green striped sweater, brown fedora, and trademark metal-clawed brown leather glove.

Jason Vorhees



Jason Voorhees is a fictional mass murderer who appears in the Friday the 13th series of films. He first appears as a hallucination of the main character Alice (Adrienne King); he would go on to become the main antagonist of the series in the succeeding sequels. The silver screen is not the only place Jason has appeared; there have been literary sources that have either expanded the universe of Jason, or been based on a minor aspect of him.
