Only A Scaredy Cat Will Fail To Name All These Horror Movie Characters

Horror movies are a guilty pressure in every sense of the word. People love watching them, and at the same time leave the movie theater fearing the nightmares they're sure to have. They keep viewers at the edge of their seats as that closet door opens or as someone lets down their guard after the villain's been defeated. The end result is always the same, with some of these characters meeting a not so nice demise and others remaining as sole survivors for the next sequel.

The cool thing about horror movies is that they actually condone viewers liking the villain; after all, these characters are part of the reason why they do incredibly well at the box office. From Jigsaw, Chucky, Ghostface, and so many more, horror villains are openly feared and equally loved.

Then there's their prey; these are the characters that have earned fans' respect in their bravery, quick-thinking, and ability to take down the seemingly immortal Michael Myers or outsmart the facetious Freddy Kreuger. These characters are rooted on and remembered as much as their tormentors.

With so many in existence, only a real horror buff can recall all their names in one sitting. Quiz Time! What are the names of these popular horror movie characters?
