Day 17 - Scariest fictional character
This is an interesting question, because to me, most horror characters aren't really scary, and most scary characters aren't from horror. (You may have noticed there's a pattern of non-horror answers here this month, and it's not a conscious intention.)
I mean, when you think about it, the characters who'd be most disturbing, offensive, and generally terrifying to be around if you knew them in real life, are actually from comedies.
I'm serious - can you imagine Richie from Bottom as a real person? Or Roger from American Dad, or Peter from Family Guy?
Then there are the characters from regular dramas and cop shows... Even folks you love, like Johnny Gat in Saint's Row, would be utterly pants-wrecking.
That said, though, for my money the clear winner is this guy:
