61. Frank Booth
Blue Velvet
Considering David Lynch's films feature characters that look like this:
and this:
It's saying something when Frank Booth is the most horrific thing he has created.
Unrepentantly perverted and violent, Booth revels in every awful deed from rape to murder to drugs (his narcotic of choice being, oddly enough, a canister of amyl nitrite, huffed like oxygen) in his evil empire located in the underground of sleepy Lumberton, North Carolina.
I don't care what I say about any other villain on this list. I don't care how many villains appear higher on this list. Frank Booth is the scariest motherfucker on this list. I blame that mainly on Dennis Hopper, who is an exceptionally freaky character actor and actually called Lynch to proclaim that he was Frank Booth.
Defining moment: His first scene. Huffing his way into slave/torch singer Dorothy Vallens's house, he proceeds to switch between two horiffic personalities: "Daddy," who violently beats and verbally abuses her, and "Baby," who brutally rapes her while uncontrollably sobbing
Like I said before, Frank Booth is a scary motherfucker.
