my halloween costume beats your halloween costume

Oh man, Halloween is coming up and I am the most excited. My costume is so scary I have to put it on in the dark lest I give myself the willies. Now for a top ten worthy of all the fake blood and scar tissue floating around out there:

Top Ten most under rated villains:

  1. Boba Fett – This character deserves way more recognition for the evilness he represents. Yah, Star Wars has Darth Vadar and Emperor Palapatine but this guy....ohhhh man.

Sent to capture the “Millennium Falcon” in The Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett is the one threat real enough to capture the “fastest hunk of junk in the universe”. He is a mean, lean, disintegration machine. True to his evil, soul less nature he directs Darth Vadar to Cloud City to capture the Millennium Falcon, and then freezes dreamy Hans Solo, and triy's to trap Luke Skywalker. Evil eh? Don’t worry – Hans Solo, with a little help from that gross looking Sarlacc, teaches him a lesson. Take that Boba Fett. What!

  1. Gargamele – Man, that guy would just straight up not let up on those cute little Smurfs. Who wants to eat a small blue creature anyways? Ew.
  1. Commander Cobra – In all honesty, this suggestion comes from someone else but his passionate defense of why this needed to be included is good enough for me, so Wikipedia here we go....A character from G.I. Joe, he appears in the animated series, comic books, toy line and movie. Created by Marvel Comics writer Larry Hama and was loosely based on the James Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In the words of the original Commander Cobra’s Character Dossier Card: “Absolute power! Total control of the world... its people, wealth and resources - that's the objective of Cobra Commander. This fanatical leader rules with an iron fist. He demands total loyalty and allegiance. His main battle plan, for world control, relies on revolution and chaos. He personally led uprisings in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other trouble spots. Responsible for kidnapping scientists, businessmen and military leaders, then forcing them to reveal their top level secrets. Cobra Commander is hatred and evil personified. Corrupt. A man without scruples. Most dictators and would-be Napoleon types are hampered by the need to pretend that they are pursuing a noble and just cause. Cobra Commander doesn't have that problem. This guy's in it for the money and the power, and if anybody else is interested in these things, they can pick up an assault rifle and get in line behind him.”

Fair enough, pretty evil.

  1. Nickelback – They’re trying to kill the music industry. I consider this villainous.
  1. Bowser – You would get through all those levels, picking up mushrooms and stars, running away from creepy haunted houses and ghosts, getting all high on yourself, thinking you got it like that. Then, BOOM. Bowser would roll up and destroy all your hopes and dreams for rescuing the princess. Man, that guy sucked.
  1. Professor Coldheart – I’m talking about the REAL Professor Coldheart. You may even know him, he may even be in one of your classes (and no, I am not talking about an actual prof).
  1. The Misfits – Not the real life band (unless your talking about the post Glenn Danzig, in which case, yes) but the evil fictional band in the TV program Jem and the Holograms. These girls were bad ass, but not in the cool “smoking in the boys room” way. Undermining Jem any chance they would get and even sucking in kind, sweet and totally redeemable Stormer. And really, “Pizzazz”? Thats the best stage name you could come up with? At least Roxy, Stormer and Jetta sound cool. Pizzazz sounds like a B-club stripper, and whats with all the extra Z’s?F!
  1. That person in every group project who does nothing at all but still takes the credit.
  1. The T-Rex from Land before Time – Once again, I reference this fantabulous movie. Seriously though, can you honestly say that the T-Rex didn’t make you want to scream “Run Littlefoot Run!” at the TV screen until your older sibling flicked your ear and called you dumb for thinking that maybe, just maybe they could hear you? This character really did scare me more then what is logical, even for a mere child of 5. I did know dinosaurs and more specifically T-Rex’s no longer existed but still....one look at those giant teeth dripping on my TV screen, uhhh, it still gives me the shivers.
  1. Mama Fratelli– The Goonies continues to be one of the greatest movies ever made and Mama Fratelli continues to be one of the freakin’ creepiest characters to ever exist. This lady was down right mean. Mean to The Goonies, mean to her sons, really mean to poor Sloth and she almost puts Chunk’s hand in a blender. Yah.
