London, Feb 3 (ANI): Wes Craven’s disfigured child killer Freddy Krueger is the ultimate horror villain, says a new poll.
The A Nightmare On Elm Street baddie terrorised Johnny Depp in the original 1984 picture.
The bad guy topped a survey by SFX magazine, ahead of Pinhead from the Hellraiser movie series and murderous Michael Myers in Halloween, reports The Daily Express.
Other movie villains to appear in the top 10 include Dracula, the Candyman and Hannibal Lecter from The Silence Of The Lambs. (ANI)
