I agree that Dracula - especially Bela Lugosi's interpretation - is the best villain ever. It has now become a
cliché to quote you Kallie

Personally I find Max Schreck in Friedriech Wilhelm MURNAU's
Nosferatu : Eine Symphonie Des Grauens is much more frightful! I used to be so scared about him when I was a child, that glass eyes like look, his way of moving, and the fact he his mute flames up the imagination ! Definitely it's a MASTERPIECE!
