These are just some of the typical "bad guys" that you would see in most horror movies. The first is the typical psychotic male, although sometimes female the psychotic character is mostly played by a male. The psychotic character usually comes from a bad dark background, and in most cases had bad things happen to them as a child/young adult. The next villain is the Zombie, Zombies are the focal point of many horror films, and come in several different forms. The most typical type of Zombie is the Zombie that eats human flesh. The most common reason for these humans to become Zombies is through some sort of virus (28 Days Later). The next common villain is the typical "non-human monster". These are normally either from another planet or have been created by man. For example in the picture above is the predator, which is from a different planet, although from a different planet the Predator along with most other non-human villain are have many human qualities and features. For example the often walk up-right and have the same body shape as humans. Often in horror films this type of villain are mostly misunderstood and often we are made to feel sorry for them. A final common villain in horror films is the Vampire, Vampires are shown very differently in different Vampire films, the one in the picture above is from a relatively modern film called "40 days of Night", the vampires in this have the same basic characteristics as most Zombies. Although in more older films the Vampire look very different, like the most famous vampire character which is Dracula.
