The likes of Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger have been featured in dozens of film between them. Still, some of the most chilling and iconic villains in horror only made a single appearance. The video from WhatCulture embedded at the top of the article pays tribute to these one-hit-wonders. We barely knew them and, in most cases, we’d love to see them rise once again!
If you can’t stream, or simply want to cut to the chase, the 10 horror villains we only met in a single film are listed below. Enjoy!
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters
Mr. Babadook from The Babadook
Asami Yamazaki from Audition
Molasar from The Keep
The Doctor (Channard) Cenobite from Hellbound: Hellraiser II
Elizabeth Shaw (Billy the Dummy) from Dead Silence
Doctor Decker from Nightbreed
Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs
