Horror Icons Quiz

When it comes to movies, it’s fair to say that the heroes often take up the bulk of the limelight. However, with TV shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and movies like Maleficent and Joker breaking into the pop culture zeitgeist, it’s clear that modern audiences are just as fascinated with the baddies as the white knight heroes. With that in mind, we thought that now would be a good time to test your knowledge on the most iconic horror movie villains of all time.
