Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 movie monsters revealed, allow me to show it to you for this list to be looking at the real life people behind the masks of some of our favorite and most iconic movie monsters and horror villains.

Did we leave any out?

Let us know in the comments number 10 Leatherface played by Gunnar Hansen, The texas chainsaw Massacre.

Gunnar Hansen frequented the nightmares of many thanks to his iconic portrayal of leatherface in the original texas chainsaw massacre.

Hansen actually decided to audition for the film on a whim and never really considered acting to be his number one passion the man who played leatherface actually enjoyed writing and traveling although he was convinced to return to the craft, starring in the minor trash classic Hollywood chainsaw hookers.

So good of you to drop by mr Chandler, he saved us the unpleasant task of having to go get you from their Hansen would continue to appear in movies on and off, including a cameo in texas chainsaw three D and even directed a number of documentary films before his untimely death from pancreatic cancer in 2015.

Given the boy he's simple.

Anyway, number nine, the nun played by Bonnie Aarons the Conjuring two part of the fun of researching actors who have appeared in horror movies is seeing what other sort of work they've done and how it compares to their demonic profile in the fright flicks.

In the case of Bonnie Aarons, it's sort of a balancing act since the talented actors appeared in youth oriented fare like The Princess Diaries while also jump scaring audiences with their turn as the nightmarish bum in Mulholland Drive.

However, horror fans likely know erin's best from return as a supremely creepy nun in the Conjuring franchise, although she didn't appear in the first film.

Her role is valid in the sequel as well as the spin off, the nun managed to make her an instant horror Celebrity Number eight The leprechaun played by Warwick Davis.

The leprechaun franchise.

What are you, What do I look like me lad?

See that the buckles on his shoes, why I'm a leprechaun willow professor, flint wick wicket, the Ewok and the leprechaun.

Warwick.

Davis has certainly done pretty good for himself in the franchise department, You're a jittery little thing, aren't you?

This in demand.

Actor has always prided himself on delivering memorable and engaging performances every time.

But the leprechaun franchise was where Davis truly got to chew the scenery and take center stage for shrieks my dear, provide a perfect accompaniment to this romantic evening.

Sure it may not be as high profile as star wars or harry potter, but the franchise went to so many wild places, including space and the Hood that created its own sandbox for the direct to video crowd.

That said, it must be nice to work in both worlds.

So nice.

In fact that Warwick Davis makes the list of the most financially successful supporting actors of all time.

It looks like we go mm hmm.

It smells like we go.

It tastes like me.

Gold.

Number seven.

The pale man played by Doug jones Pan's Labyrinth.

Yeah.

Mm hmm, mm hmm.

Don't just judge Doug jones based solely on his fantastic work with director Guillermo Del Toro.

Judge him based on all the additional great work he's done with countless directors.

The man's resume speaks for itself, doing character work in cold classics like Tank Girl and hocus pocus.

You buck toothed mop riding firefly from hell to say that Doug jones is a contortionist and mind by trade.

And this plays in the physicality of his performances.

Big time.

In addition to the fawn, his portrayal of the pale man in Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth earned jones.

Perhaps the most high profile attention of his career.

And rightfully so it's a once in a lifetime sort of performance.

Never before as a pair of hands haunted the dreams of so many unsuspecting viewers.

Okay, number six zuzu voice acted by Mercedes McCambridge.

The Exorcist.

An excellent day for an exorcism.

You'd like that in Dennis the Exorcist was one of those perfect Storm sort of movies, horror film where sound music, visuals and story all collided to enter the cultural zeitgeist.

Speaking of sound, It was old school Hollywood icon, Mercedes McCambridge who provided one of the voices for the demon possessed zoo, The evil entity that possesses young Reagan McNeal.

Where's Reagan in here with us.

to Cambridge's weathered performances atmospheric as hell.

Thanks largely to her method of drinking hard liquor and chain smoking cigarettes to get the proper effect.

The fact that the actor initially went uncredited for her work was a point of debate between McCambridge and director William Friedkin requiring a visit to the screen.

Actors guild for her to receive proper credit for what was a defining horror performance.

You speak latin.

I gotta tell you, I'm solving what norman maybe.

Yes, bonjour quad, norman me.

Yes.

Number five pinhead played by Doug Bradley.

The Hellraiser franchise, the box.

You opened it.

Who do you think of?

When we mentioned the Hellraiser franchise?

The odds are pretty good that the name Doug Bradley is on the tip of your tongue and rightfully so because the man turned the villain pinhead into a household name.

Not too shabby for a character that was only referred to as lead senna bite in the original film.

Oh, I'll enjoy making you bleed and I'll enjoy making you enjoy it.

This speaks volumes to Bradley's gravitas and presence as an actor.

The actor has even lent his booming voice to the world of heavy metal, including recording with the iconic british black metal band, cradle of filth.

Number four.

Jason.

Vorhees played by many perfected by Kane Hodder.

The friday the 13th franchise.

Mm hmm, mm hmm.

Pick a Jason.

Annie Jason?

We all have our favorite, whether it's steve dashes, creepy bag head, Jason in friday the 13th part two or Derek Mears is fearsomely mobile performance.

In the 2009 reboot.

Jason Vorhees is an undisputed horror icon for many.

However, it's Kane Hader's performance as Vorhees over the course of four films that cemented perhaps the most enduring run for the Crystal Lake slasher.

I'd say you got better.

He's been modified honors work as a stunt performer, allowed him to project more physicality into the role while at the same time develop mannerisms such as the head tilt that helped to find the character for fans, caine hunter and horror just seem to go hand in hand while his incredible body of work simply speaks for itself.

Number three, Freddy Krueger played by robert Englund.

He a nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

Please God.

Mhm.

Is God.

The world of the character actor is often one of small parts but big personalities, robert Englund is one of those special sort of character actors whose career may be defined by one looming performance, but deeper research reveals a varied and intriguing resume.

I'm setting myself with my own buddy fingernails.

Did you know that you even care.

England has worked with basically everyone cutting his teeth on exploitation flicks for industry veteran Roger Corman and earning high marks for his work on the tv colt mini series, b.

I'm just you don't know where to go.

I'm just you're lost.

Lost.

Yes.

Lost.

English.

Well, to me, England's impeccable attention to detail is always on display whenever he's interviewed.

Such as when he compares Freddy's walk and style to that of an old West gunslinger with the iconic knife glove substituting as a pistol.

It's just one brief glimpse into the creative mind of a true crafts person.

What do you know?

Beat my score number two.

Pennywise played by tim curry it.

Hi georgie, thank you, mm hmm.

Aren't you gonna say hello?

As much as we love Bill Skarsgard as twisty take on Pennywise, the dancing clown.

There's just no topping the O.

G.

Performance from tim curry.

Kiss me.

That boy hit mini series may have been developed for television, but that doesn't mean curry's.

Pennywise didn't scar thousands of kids back in the day.

Of course, we don't need to mention how important curry has been to the world of fantastic cinema from his roles as dr frank n furter in the Rocky Horror picture show to the best damn devil in the business for director Ridley scott's legend.

You're nothing but an animal.

We are all animals.

My lady most are too afraid to see it all it takes is a smile, turn or hand gesture from curry to make us laugh or fill us with fear.

Every nightmare you've ever had.

I am your worst dream come true on everything you ever were afraid of before we continue.

Number one Frankenstein's monster played by Boris Karloff Frankenstein, Who are you?

I'm Maria, will you play with me?

The world of Universal Monsters is one full of iconic monster makeup from Lon Chaney, Jr as the wolfman, Torrico browning's gilman and creature from the black lagoon.

It's Boris Karloff who gets our top.

Not, however, thanks to a makeup job that transcends mere horror and sends Frankenstein's monster straight into Mount Rushmore territory.

Karloff to his credit, wasn't defined by monsters or mummies either utilizing his voice in the animated christmas.

Classic.

How the grinch stole christmas every who down in Whoville liked christmas a lot, but the grinch who lived just north of Whoville did not while also appearing in the cult thriller targets laid his career.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I'd like to leave you with a little story to think about as you drive home through the darkness playing Frankenstein's monster may have defined his career, but it was Boris Karloff longevity and versatility that made him a legend.
