Happy Halloween, everyone! Yes indeed, ’tis the weekend of tricking, treating, and curling up on the couch to watch the scariest of scary movies. And right here at PopWatch, we’re celebrating by crowning the champion in our Scariest Big-Screen Psycho Killer single-elimination bracket tournament. Over the last month, you’ve voted like fiends and winnowed down our field of 32 slashers, serial killers, and sociopaths, leaving Halloween‘s Michael Myers and The Silence of the Lambs‘ Hannibal Lecter as the last murderers standing (alongside a pile of bloodied, mutilated corpses, naturally). And in what turned out to be a closely fought battle … Hannibal the Cannibal devoured his masked competitor by a margin of 53%-47%! Congrats, good sir! (But please don’t come any closer!)
Click here to see how Hannibal Lecter advanced to our finals, and to review how the entire bracket played out. Here’s hoping, however, that he doesn’t get complacent and turn his back on his vanquished competitor. To steal a turn of phrase from the old Chumbawamba song, Michael Myers has a tendency to get knocked down, but he gets up again.
Thanks for playing. Happy Halloween!
LAME O!!!!!!!!
As it should be!
Yeah, but in all fairness, the little kids from “Jesus Camp” are light years scarier than even Hannibal. Drug me so I cut my face off, eat my flesh and brains; cool. But, make me apart of “Jesus’ Army”, speak in tongues and fake seizures in the name of Christ; ugh…just gives me chills thinking about it!
This is one of the scariest movies, but he’s not the scariest killer.
I’ve never seen the movie, but we had to watch clips (including the climax) in my film class. From what I saw, it didn’t look scary at all. What is so scary about this movie?
Clips wouldn’t convey it. It’s the atmosphere and the gradual revelation of what the villains are and what they’re capable of.
Acutally, he’s the scariest because his is out there. It is too close to real and that is what is scary.
I doubt there are any Hannibals out there. It’s not just the acts but the brilliance that make a Hannibal. Besides, there are a lot more real Buffalo Bills than Hannibals.
Michael Myers should have won this. Or even Freddy Krueger. Lame.
Hard to argue with this final matchup. Could’ve gone either way. My post today asks whether or not Lecter would’ve have a Twitter account and how would Myers have snuck up on anyone if they had Facebook?

Very wack!! He didn’t deserve this title! Michael Myers is 100% PURE EVIL…dude is so psycho you can’t even wrap your head around it! I blame it on the way they laid out the brackets!
Michael Myers made it to the final round. How did the brackets hurt him?
Wack ass Hannibal wouldn’t have made it to the final round if the brackets on his side were better!
If one is worth winning it doesn’t matter in which quarter of brackets you are set in. You will always win beating all the competition ! So that was the right choice !
