f you're not familiar with actor Robert Mitchum, you should be. And you should start by watching him as the serial killer "preacher" in "The Night of the Hunter." This guy was tattooing his knuckles ("love" on one hand, "hate" on the other) long before the rap community did.

Buffalo Bill
In the movie Silence of the lambs one of the main Characters Buffalo Bill Is the creepies most sadistic, killer. He is a lonely tailor/designer who has androgynous ambitions.
The
back story is that: Jame Gumb was born in California
in 1948, and was abandoned at birth by his mother. His mother was an alcoholic
prostitute, who had named him James, but upon signing his birth certificate
incorrectly, spelled the name Jame, and was left unchanged. He would insist on
being called Jame, to rhyme with name. He was abandoned at age two and placed
into foster care. Hannibal Lecter believed "Billy was not born a killer,
but he was made one over years of systematic abuse". He lived in an
unsatisfactory foster home until the age of 10, after which he was adopted by
his grandparents, whom became his first victims, when he murdered them
impulsively at age 12. He was then sent to Tulare Vocational Rehabilitation, a
psychiatric hospital, where he was taught how to be a tailor. After checking
out of Tulare, he worked in at least two restaurants and a few clothing stores.
It is likely he had killed more people in this period. He also attacked gay
men. Soon after he began working in a Baltimore Curio store, where he met and
began a relationship with Benjamin Raspail, despite
the fact that Gumb wasn't gay. During this time, according to Raspail, Gumb had
killed a bag lady. He had been fired from the curio store and stole a suitcase
from an employer. While in his room, he opened the case to find hundreds of
moths and butterflies and moths. Raspail then ended his relationship with Gumb,
in favor of a Norwegian sailor named Klaus. Gumb later murdered Klaus and
created an apron from his corpse. He took Klaus' decapitated head and inserted
a moth in his throat, then placed it within a jar, which he stashed within a
car in an impound warehouse owned by Raspail. Gumb had then, over a period of
time following the murder of his ex-lover's boyfriend, began applications for
gender reassignment surgery. He applied to schools such as Johns Hopkins.
However, all of his applications were declined by, as he was deemed too
psychologically disturbed. He roughed up a doctor due to being turned down. In
early 1975 he was introduced to Dr Hannibal Lecter through
Raspail and had just one session. Lecter himself would end up being arrested
for a series of murders himself, Raspail being his ninth victim.

early 1975 he was introduced to Dr Hannibal Lecter through
Raspail and had just one session. Lecter himself would end up being arrested
for a series of murders himself, Raspail being his ninth victim.
After Gumb had finished consulting with Dr. Lecter, he
started up as a tailor in Belvedere, Ohio, where he came to meet an overweight
woman, Fredrica Bimmel, whose skin struck his attention. Gumb had then
conceived the idea that if he could not by legal means acquire being female, he
could make himself into a woman through fashioning together a woman suit. He
had then set up to take over a property in the town with a large underbasement
area, where he could stash his victims, starting with Bimmel. Fortunately, in
stalking Bimmel, Gumb came to discover that Bimmel's employer, Mrs. Lippman,
who was a local, propieted a house with an old basement that contained many
rooms and a large dry well. Sometime during this period he acquired a poodle
who he named Precious. Mrs. Lippman died on a holiday in Florida whilst with
Gumb. Gumb inherited everything from Mrs Lippman. Using the alias John Grant he
took over the house. He then abducted Bimmel and kept her prisoner in the well.
Despite this, they had a strong friendship, even sending notes to each other.
He eventually killed her and for the first time, removed her skin, which led to
the "Buffalo Bill" murders.He then proceeded to abduct four other women and, like
Bimmel, kept them entrapped in the large dry well in the basement of Mrs.
Lippman's home, making them clean their skin with lotion before he would
eventually come to kill them. He hanged the first two victims, then decided to
shoot any other victims. He then skinned them and added them to his woman suit
and disposed of their bodies in lakes. As Bimmel was weighed down, she was
actually found third. During this series of killings, Gumb received the
nickname "Buffalo Bill", as officers at Kansas City Homicide made a
tasteless joke that "this one likes to skin his humps".A sixth woman was found, with her scalp and two
diamond shape pieces of skin form her back removed. Gumb then came to abduct
Senator Ruth Martin's daughter, Catherine. He had posed as a man with a broken
arm who needed help moving a sofa into the back of his van outside her
apartment building. Catherine had came to assist him. She was backing into the
van with the sofa, when she was asked wether she was a size 14 and was rendered
unconsious by Gumb. She was brought to Belvedere, to the Lippman house, where
she was imprisoned like the previous victims in the basement dry well. Her
abduction by Buffalo Bill was then made national, and her mother made a
national televised plea to him to return her daughter and repeatedly used her
name in sentences, so as to ensure he would not deem her a mere object, like
the other victims, but, rather, see her as a human being. While in captivity,
Martin managed to lure Precious into the well using a bucket and scraps of
food. When Gumb learnt of this, this caused him great distress.FBI Agent Jack Crawford assigned rookie Agent Clarice Starling
to speak to Dr Hannibal Lecter, an insane cannibalistic serial killer, in the
hopes he may assist in catching Buffalo Bill (at this point had killed at least
five girls). Starling spoke with Lecter and entered into a quid pro quo of
information for information, would relinquish what she needed to catch him
before Catherine loses her life. Starling revealed the memory of her father's
murder in exchange for clues that would lead to him. Starling discovered Klaus'
decapitated head in the vehicle stationed in the storage shed, belonging to
Benjamin Raspail, whom Lecter had killed. Starling came to determine that
Fredrica Bimmel was Bill's first victim and was weighed, so she would be found
as a later victim, so the authorities and FBI could not deduce he knew her personally.
In Bimmel's mouth, a Death's-Head Hawkmoth was uncovered, which was one among
the many moths bred by Gumb. Clarice then eventually came to Belvedere, Ohio,
and upon coming to the Bimmel house and speaking to her father, learned about
her employer Mrs. Lippman. During this time, Lecter escaped from a temporary
prison cell while in Memphis, killing five people.Clarice then came to learn of a local tailor, Jame
Gumb, whose cutting incisions matched perfectly to the skin removal incisions
on the Buffalo Bill victims. She came to the Lippman residence and discovered
Gumb to be living there and after seeing a Death's-Head Hawkmoth fly out of the
kitchen, she realized he was Buffalo Bill and withdrew her weapon. Gumb fled
down into the basement area and was pursued by Starling, who found an alive
Catherine. Starling came to be locked in the room with the bathtub that
contained the remains of Mrs. Lippman, and the lights were then turned off by
Gumb, who crept up on Starling by wearing his night vision binoculars and
prepared to shoot her in the back of the head, but was killed as Starling heard
his gun cock, and returned fire by spinning around, shooting Gumb down, and
busting down a wood-barred window, releasing light into the room. The local
authorities and misled FBI Agents, led by Crawford, who had travelled to an
empty residence in Illinois, came to the Lippman house, and Catherine was
rescued from the well. Starling was awarded with honors for the rescue of
Catherine Martin and the killing of Jame Gumb. After Gumb's death, the National
Tattler covered his history and renamed him "Mr Hide". Gumb's dog
Precious was adopted by Senator Martin. Gumb, over his life had killed at least
11 people.
if that is not creepy enough checkout this scene in Silence of the Lambs:
Gordon Gekko
Capitalism Takes on a new level with the film Wall Street's Gordon Gekko played by Micheal Douglas. Gordon Gekko is the On-Screen donald trump level- cut throat business man definitely worthy in the hall of fame of Villains

Aileen Wournos
Born on February 29, 1956, in Rochester, Michigan, Aileen Wuornos was sexually abused and thrown out of her home as a teen. Having been involved in previous incidents with the law, she made a living as a sex worker on Florida's highways, and in 1989 she killed a man who had picked her up. She went on to kill at least five other men and was eventually caught, convicted and placed on death row. Though her sanity was questioned, Wuornos was executed by lethal injection in 2002. In addition to documentaries, books and an opera, her story was depicted in the 2003 film MonsterAileen Wuornos was born on February 29, 1956 in Rochester, Michigan, growing up in the nearby Troy area to the south. The young Wuornos experienced horrifying tumult during her childhood: Her father killed himself while serving prison time for child molestation, while her mother abandoned Aileen and older brother Keith, leaving them to be raised by their grandparents. Yet Wuornos’s grandmother was alleged to be an alcoholic and her grandfather a terrifying, violent force.
Wuornos would later state that she was sexually abused by her grandfather and had sexual relations with her brother. She became pregnant by her early teens, and the infant was given up for adoption. During her adolescence, Wuornos was also forced out of her home and lived in the woods.
Having previously been a ward of the state, Wuornos subsisted on a vagabond existence as an adult, hitchhiking and engaging in sex work to survive. She was arrested during the mid-1970s for charges related to assault and disorderly conduct and eventually settled in Florida, where she met wealthy yachtsman Lewis Fell. The two were married in 1976, but Fell annulled the union shortly thereafter, upon Wuornos being arrested in another altercation. A decade later, having been involved in numerous additional crimes, Wuornos met 24-year-old Tyria Moore in Daytona, Florida, and the two embarked on a romantic relationship.
It would later be revealed that from late 1989 into the fall of 1990, Wuornos had murdered at least six men along Florida highways. In mid-December 1989, the body of Richard Mallory was found in a junkyard, with five more men’s bodies to be discovered over subsequent months.
Authorities were eventually able to track down Wuornos (who had used various aliases) and Moore from fingerprints and palm prints left in the crashed vehicle of another missing man, Peter Siems. Wuornos was arrested in a bar in Port Orange, Florida, while police tracked down Moore in Pennsylvania. To avoid prosecution, Moore made a deal, and in mid-January 1991 she elicited a phone confession from Wuornos, who took full and sole responsibility for the murder.
A media frenzy ensued over the case, due in part to the lurid nature of the crimes. During the trial, Wuornos asserted that she had been raped and assaulted by Mallory and had killed him in self-defense. (Though not revealed in court, Mallory had previously served a decade-long prison sentence for sexual assault.) She stated that her killing of the five other men had been in self-defense as well, though she would later retract these statements.
On January 27, 1992, a jury found Wuornos guilty of first-degree murder for the Mallory case and she received the death penalty. Over the ensuing months, Wuornos plead guilty to the murders of the five other men whose murders she was charged with and received a death sentence for each plea. Outside of court, she later admitted to the killing of Siems, whose body was never recovered.
Spending a decade on death row, Wuornos eventually opted to fire her appeals lawyers, who were working for a stay of execution. But a court-appointed attorney was concerned about comments made by Wuornos that suggested she was profoundly disconnected from reality. In 2002, Florida governor Jeb Bush lifted a temporary stay of execution after three psychiatrists deemed her mentally competent to understand the death penalty and the reasons for its implementation.
Aileen Wuornos was executed by lethal injection on the morning of October 9, 2002. Her cremated remains were buried in her town of b
Wuornos’s story has been closely profiled in film. British documentarian Nick Broomfield created two works—Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer(1993) and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003), with the latter co-directed by Joan Churchill

Tommy Devito
As a personal fan of the Scorsese classic "Goodfellas" My favourite character was Tommy Devito the short loud mouyth, action-junkie who clearly was meanest because of years of being underestimated because of his stature became the movie's most chaotic, unstable, captivating character.
TOmmy Devito was famous doing robberies for mob bosses until he graduated to doing hits for Made Men, but as Tommy grew he started killing anybody who just put him in a bad mood, including the made men, (specifically Billy Batts).
