The 10 Tallest Horror Movie Villains (& 10 Shortest)

If horror movies have taught audiences anything, it’s that villains’ heights can matter, because when looking at how tall Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers is stretches the parameters of imagination. By making them hulking monstrosities or tiny terrors, they defy predictability and even reality. Actors who often have difficulty finding work for their height, whether they fall to one extreme or the other, find a home in horror movies. Their fascinating movements both delight and disturb audiences, who project onto them all of their deepest fears and anxieties. And where actors can’t fully embody a role, world-class artisans create animatronics and puppets to satisfy fans’ need for frights.
