In 1978, John Carpenter released his iconic slasher movie Halloween. Following the story of masked killer Michael Myers and his return to Haddonfield, where he left a trail of bodies in his wake. Culminating in a harrowing confrontation with Laurie Strode, the movie has gone down as one of the greatest slashers in horror history, and Michael has earned a spot as one of the greatest horror icons. However, there are many great villains of the genre scarier than Michael.
