Willem Dafoe

Seriously, how hasn’t this been a topic? Willem Dafoe is a scary guy. Even his smile can look devilish if he wants it to.

Remember him in the first Spider-Man movie? He went from this weak and fearful businessman to psychotic villain in literal seconds. The scene where he’s talking to himself in the mirror is all the example we need.

In this one movie, Willem Dafoe displayed a variety of different personalities. All of which prove that he can play a character with the power to destroy the Marvel Cinematic Universe without even using his powers. He can do it with his manipulative words.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis has been a star since before a lot of us were born. In 1978, she starred in Halloween. A classic horror story. In 1983, she starred beside Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd in Trading Places. While the stars are great, this movie just may not have worked without her.

Recently, she’s taken roles in Scream Queens and Knives Out – projects in which she was more diabolical than her earlier roles. Those parts are the reason she makes this list. On top of her fantastic list of roles over the years, she’s become someone who can do more than be the hero. She can be the one we despise. The one we fear.
