| Whether he’s quiet and unassuming or tall, red and horny, the devil has always been the classic embodiment of evil. Many actors have taken on the challenge at playing Big D. These are a few of my favorites. |
8) The Entire Cast of Fallen – Fallen (1998)
An interesting concept where the evil Azazel is caught like a virus and just as difficult to stop.
7) Ray Walston – Damn Yankees (1958)
A silly movie with far too much singing has two things going for it. Lola and Mr.
Applegate (aka The Devil). Not even remotely scary, Walston’s devil spends most of his time standing
around blowing smoke rings and doing a little soft shoe but he’s surprisingly
sardonic for 1958. Not bad.
6) Harvey Stevens – The Omen (1976)
Finding out your child is really the antichrist would put a damper on anyone’s day. Especially when that child
has a smile scarier than anything his followers will do for him. I bet they spend a fortune on nannies in that
house.
5) Linda Blair – The Exorcist (1973)
Thirty three years after it’s original release date and little Regan MacNeil running backwards down the stairs
is still one of the creepiest things ever.
4) Elizabeth Hurley – Bedazzled (2000)
I know what you’re thinking. Any film in which Elizabeth Hurley has to act is a different kind of horror movie
altogether. Bedazzled, however, is a delightfully cheesy performance that proves once and for all the devil
does indeed where Prada.
3) Gabriel Byrne – End of Days (1999)
Let’s make one thing clear. This was a terrible movie. It did have one saving
grace for me though and that was the utter evilness of Gabriel Byrne. He was creepy and sadistic and
entirely random in his nasty deeds. Points for effort Mr. Byrne
.
2) Al Pacino – Devil’s Advocate (1997)
“I’m the hand up Mona Lisa’s skirt.”
Enough said
1) Tim Curry – Legend (1985)
It takes a special actor to pull off enormous horns and cloven hooves
without looking like a lemon. Curry not only pulls it off, he makes it look
like the most natural thing in the world. An organic performance
surrounded by fantasy earns him the number one spot.
