Welcome! Well a month or so ago we were forced to sit thru another silly, biased AFI list (how many songs from Sound Of Music and Singin’ In The Rain are you gonna throw in there??), I’ve decided that now we at the HTF can rectify another sorry situation when the AFI gave their top 50 Villains list last year, almost deliberately leaving off obvious choices like Al Capone, Clarence Boddicker, Norman Stansfield and The Kurrgan. Well we’re gonna rectify all that, and in doing so, I have created The Greatest List Of Movie Villains Ever Assembled. Over 1000 Villains have been gathered in the Nomination Thread to compete for one of the precious 256 competitive spots in this Tourney. So feel free to head over there to get your favorites in!

Incredibly tough one-My favorite movie monster villain versus my favorite science fiction villian. In a toss-up, I pick:

Darth Vader

Of course, I very much vote for Dracula. I don't really like Vader, because he's too overrated. I mean, he's a great villain and all, but honestly, he's not just that great.

Dang... it would have to get down to Vader vs. Dracula, wouldn't it? The Dark Lord of the Sith versus the Dark Count of Transylvania. They're both scary, in my book. This one I gotta flip a coin on... Heads Vader, tails Dracula.

(flips a coin, calls it...)

Darth Vader.
