In March, ScreenAge Wasteland will have its 6th annual Movie Madness tournament to determine the Greatest Movie Villain of All Time!
Similar to the NCAA March Madness tournament that starts with 64 teams and ends with one winner standing tall, SAW is going to have 64 top Movie Villains battle it out.
The great thing is you — our beloved Screenagers — will be able to help determine the winner by voting in the matchups!
You will have to check back on March 3, 2025, when voting begins, to see what the matchups are for each region. An intricate scoring system was used to determine the best villains and the top four villains to grade out the highest are your four #1 seeds in each region.
Darth Vader Region | Region #3 (Reveal Feb. 27) | Region #4 (Reveal Feb. 28)
*Please note there are no horror villains (except for a couple of judgment calls) in the tournament. Those bad boys will be decided at a later date*
