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:

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).

"I must break you." And break he did. As Russian juggernaut boxer Ivan Drago, actor Dolph Lundgren shocked movie audiences when his steely character killed Apollo Creed and uttered, without remorse, "If he dies, he dies." in The Rocky VI classic.

William Poole - The Real Bill The Butcher(Gangs of New York)
William Poole (July
24, 1821 – March 8, 1855), also known as Bill the Butcher,
was the leader of the New York City gang Bowery Boys, a bare-knuckle boxer, and a
leader of the Know Nothing political movement Poole was born in Sussex
County, New Jersey to parents of English descent.[1] In
1832, his family moved to New York City to open a butcher shop
in Washington Market, Manhattan. William Poole trained in his father's trade and
eventually took over the family store. In the 1840s, he worked with the Howard
(Red Rover) Volunteer Fire Engine Company #34, Hudson & Christopher Streets
and started the Washington Street gang.
A Brutal Outrage in
Broadway. We learn that at an early hour yesterday morning, two noted pugilists
entered Florence's Hotel, corner of Broadway and Howard street, and without any
provocation seized the bar-keeper and beat his face to a jelly. It appears that Thomas Hyer, William Poole, and
several others entered the above hotel, and while one of the party held Charles
Owens (the bar-keeper) by the hair of his head, another of the gang beat him in
the face to such an extent that his left eye was completely ruined and the
flesh of his cheek mangled in the most shocking manner. After thus
accomplishing the heartless act, all of them made an effort to find Mr. John
Florence, the proprietor of the hotel, with a view of serving him in the same
manner, but not succeeding in their latter design, they found the hat of Mr.
Florence and wantonly cut it into strips, and trampled it under their feet. The
desperadoes then left the house, and in the meantime Mr. Owens was placed under
medical attendance, and in the course of a short time he proceeded to the
Jefferson Market Police, in company with Mr. Florence, where they made their
affidavits respecting the inhuman outrage, upon which Justice Blakeley issued
his warrants for Hyer, Poole, and
such of the others who were concerned in the affair, and the same were placed
in the hands of officer Baldwin for service. Since the above was written we
have been reliably informed that the affray originated from the fact of the
barkeeper having refused them drinks, after they had been furnished with them
twice in succession.

Davy Jones
In The first edition of this blog of villains both on and off screen. It is only right to start with the antagonist of The Pirates of The Caribbean series.
According to POC trivia Davy Jones was once one of the greatest sailors of the seven seas. He fell in love with the Goddess of the Sea Calypso. He made somewhat of a pact with the goddess. He literally gave his heart to the Sea in return he could sail the seas for eternity ferrying all the souls that where lost at sea to the other side. And part of the deal was that every 10 years he could spend one day on shore.
Calypso
gave Davy Jones the Flying Dutchman to accomplish this task. Her reason
for this is unknown. She swore that after ten years she would meet him and they
would spend one day together before he returned to his duties. He faithfully
kept to his charge for ten years, and after his first decade of duty, prepared
to see his love again. Calypso however, after those ten years, failed to show
up because of her capricious nature, which had drawn Jones to her in the first
place.[12] Thinking Calypso had betrayed him, an enraged
and heartbroken Davy Jones turned the Pirate Brethren against her, saying that if she were
removed from the world, they would be able
to claim the seas for themselves. They assembled in the First Brethren
Court and Jones taught
them how to imprison her into her human form (Tia Dalma); the Court agreed with
him to imprison her forever.[14]
Soon, Jones' grief at Calypso's betrayal and guilt at what he
had done became so great that he curved out his heart and placed it in the
"Dead Man's Chest". Containing a powerful lock, the Chest was sealed
and placed within a larger wooden chest along with Jones' numerous love letters
to Calypso and all other items having to do with her, except his matching
musical locket. This was then buried on Isla Cruces, a plague
island. Jones then departed, keeping his unique double-stemmed key to the Chest
with him at all times. Since then, Jones has abandoned his duty and sailed the
seas, making deals and doing as he pleased. Though immortal, his disregard for
his duty brought punishment, mutating him into a parody of humanity, and with
him, his ship, and whomsoever served on it. His crew is lured into service by
the notion that they can forestall their "final judgment" for 100
years by serving aboard the Dutchman, however, they don't know that they will
slowly mutate into creatures like Jones until they are essentially barnacles on the ship's hull, ultimately useless.
The lore of the "feared Flying Dutchman"
begins as Jones' eerie ship sailed about destroying ships to recruit for crew.
With his supernatural power, he becomes ruler of the oceans' realm and comes to
command the Kraken, a feared
mythological sea monster.
Davy Jones' character was given a large arsenal of supernatural abilities at his disposal. Though normally relying on the strength of his crew, ship, and the Kraken, Jones has proven quite powerful on his own. He is seen in At World's End as a brilliantly skilled swordsman and was able to break Jack Sparrow's sword with his crab-claw hand as well as defeat everybody that opposed him. Jones is capable of teleportation on board the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl and can pass through solid objects, although he is never seen going through people. This ability to teleport was thought to be a plothole, as he is not seen to teleport to different ships during battle. When asked, the producers of Dead Man's Chest simply said that they noticed the plot hole as well, but chose to say that his teleportation skills only work at night-time.
Davy Jones Locker
Meaning
The bottom of the sea; the resting place of drowned mariners.
Origin
Davy Jones is the evil spirit of the sea. There are various possible attempts to explain the name by associating it with someone of a similar name:
Jones may be a corruption of name of the biblical seaman Jonah. Jonah denoted bad luck on to seamen.Davy Jones was a 16th century publican who imprisoned drunken sailors in a locker and press-ganged them to serve on ships.The name comes from the patron saint of sailors - St. David.
None of these is supported by any evidence - they are little more than guesses.
The first source of the use of the name comes from Tobias Smollett's The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle 1751:
"'By the Lord! Jack, you may say what you wool; but I'll be damned if it was not Davy Jones himself. I know him by his saucer eyes, his three rows of teeth, his horns and tail, and the blue smoke that came out of his nostrils. What does the blackguard hell's baby want with me? I'm sure I never committed murder, except in the way of my profession, nor wronged any man whatsomever since I first went to sea.' This same Davy Jones, according to the mythology of sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes, shipwrecks, and other disasters, to which a seafaring life is exposed; warning the devoted wretch of death and woe."
