And the winner of the SAW’s Horror Movie Madness Tournament to determine the Greatest Horror Villain of All Time is…
MICHAEL MYERS

Road to the Championship
Michael slashed his way through his competition in the early rounds, destroying the likes of Pearl, Annie Wilkes, and the Candyman. He ran into a bit of a struggle with an axe-wielding Jack Torrance, but was able to dispatch him before moving to the Final Four, where he met the legendary Freddy Krueger. He would battle it out with the nightmare demon, winning by a few votes, landing him in the championship against his toughest opponent yet. Jason Voorhees would put up one hell of a fight, nearly taking down Michael, but ultimately, the hockey mask-wearing fiend fell to Michael’s kitchen knife by one single vote.
Evil definitely didn’t die tonight, so I give you the King of the Horror Villains, Michael Myers.
Thank you to all who voted and commented. Be on the lookout for our annual March Movie Madness in 2026. Throw out some ideas for a themed tournament you would like to see in the future.
Were you shocked by the winner, or did you see this coming all along? Were there any surprises in certain villains winning or losing during this tournament?
