20 Awesome Psychotic Movie Characters: A Gallery
Granted there are hundreds if not thousands of psychotic movie characters out there, but some are clearly more memorable than others. There are some characters that are more than just players in a movie. They become icons. People that fans follow, imitate and remember for their entire lives.
It’s this lot that we’re focusing on and a lot that is way more exclusive. I’m sure there are plenty more out there but I chose these 20 characters because each of them struck a chord in me. A chord that won’t let up.
Enjoy our psychotic movie character gallery after the jump…..

Willy Wonka is my favorite. 😀
Anton Chigurh, No Country for Old Men.
Bit of an old school one – Harry Roat Jr from Wait Until Dark. Give it a try, a really good film.
Early Grayce from Kalifornia…
Denis Leary – Judgement Night
…Johnathon Doe (Kevin Spacey) – Se7eN
this list is incomplete with joker from TDK.
Jack Nicholson, Shining !
LOL, Willy Wonka, possibly the only non-violent psycho on this list. So I guess the Jack Nicholson Joker wasn’t psycho enough for you? Scared the hell out of me as a kid, just makes me laugh as an adult. I don’t agree with Kilgore loving the smell of napalm in the morning, but I do love something else. I love the smell of roasted skag in the morning.
Also, speaking of that Kilgore guy, you ever notice that “Surf Vietnam” poster in Hill Valley 2015 in Back to the Future II? LOL
Good list, but I’m with RAF, where is Patrick Bateman?
