With Halloween just around the corner, we aren’t messing around. This isn’t a collection of sexy, sultry, or cheeky Halloween imagery that you can find anywhere else on the Internet. No, here we have collected some of the grittiest, most frightening, and truly scary sources of inspiration for you so you can make this Halloween that much spookier for you and your friends.
These designs are created by artists from all corners of the world and depict their takes on some of the evilest super-villains Hollywood and comics have given us over the years. And a few original designs too.
The Joker appears most prominently on this list and deservedly so. The terror and desperation he inspires are absolute.

Though definitely less scary than other versions of him, what he lacked in terror he more than made up for in cruel pranks and psychopathy.

If you want a less scary but equally crazy Joker-vibe.

Ride on the Pheonix-Joker high. He has given us a character that will keep inspiring designers and artists for all times to come. Plus, not too shabby for your Halloween inspiration this year.

An original concept, The Freak is a genuinely mindless villain. We wonder how he thinks up all his skullduggery, then.

Another original concept. Can you fight him off with a hose-pipe, though?

A truly vile villain if there ever was. What makes her scary is that she could reason her evil.

He’s perhaps a more sympathetic villain on this list, yet a villain nonetheless. We suggest using an ice-cold wit to go with this persona. Think you can manage it?

It will definitely need a look of make-up, but if done right may illicit some screams, boos, and perhaps an occasional heart-attack.

If you’re gonna do it, you might as well do it right.
