@danielcm4237 Год назад

Ghostface costume and mask is in every street corner in Halloween night and it is recognizible even by non-horror movie fans. If there's a character that is iconic out of this bunch, it is him. I wouldn't consider the people under the costume in a Horror Icons ranking since it's the costume that is actually the horror icon, not Billy, Stu, and the others

@croatiankid6595 Год назад

Yeah I think Cody dropped the ball there Michael, Jason, leatherface and Freddy are all iconic They’re the Mount Rushmore of horror villains And ghostface is right up there as well

@RockDatDubstep Год назад

Yep, Ghostface itself is a character and before all the unmaskings, it's always the same character. The different motivations don't really play a part until after the reveal.

@colinbaldwin313 Год назад

Then how would you be able to do an individualized ranking of horror icons? You could make some pretty objective rankings of how "iconic" each of these characters is. The intrigue lies in finding out which of these characters Cody considers to have been utilized well in the stories of their respective films, not how they look.

@geenalawrence8338 Год назад

Ghostface and Jason not being considered Iconic is ridiculous lol Tiffany switching to camp is just character development, she was the best thing about the miserable season 2, and is an absolutely Iconic character for me.

@user-mn9wc5ru5w Год назад

A new tier above iconic should be created for Jason. That mask is the very first thing that should come to anyone's mind when the words "horror movie" are mentioned. Extra credit to Jason when you consider that it's been well over two decades since the series has been consistently active, yet he's still THE horror villain

@geenalawrence8338 Год назад

@user-mn9wc5ru5w Exactly. I don't care if you don't like Jason, he is still the most iconic horror villain alongside Ghostface and Chucky. He should've changed the list's name to "My personal favorite horror Icons" in this case.

@joshuanelson6795 Год назад

For me, Jason Voorhees will be forever and always iconic. Now admittedly, I do have a huge personal attachment to him because Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street are the first horror films I ever watched and made me a fan of the genre, but objectively speaking, there are few horror villains more iconic and recognizable than my boy. Even in his bad movies like Jason Takes Manhattan or Jason X, Jason himself is still badass (mostly). As much as I love Freddy Kruger and many other horror villains, it's hard to say the same for them.

To me, Ghostface is iconic bc the entity or character of Ghostface will never die or go away as long as someone continues to pick up the mantle. Even in the first movie there is more than 1 killer. And as the franchise goes on it gets harder and harder to pin who or how many people are Ghostface.

As I see it Tobin Bell is awesome as John he is memorable and his speeches are really great the first time you hear them. But then they use those some speeches in multiple movies.

He is not really the killer he is the best actor keeping the movie going.

Part of the reason Ghostface is iconic for me is because I’m never watching the scream movies saying “that’s so and so in the costume,” it’s always just that is Ghostface. When the character is on screen, it’s always been separate to me than when the killer/killers are revealed.

@XvKJP2015 6 месяцев назад

Gf is a Beast in costume but half of the reveals were trash and way past suspending your disbelief. I agree with the way you look at it but that isn't how it works. Unfourtantley the killer with or without the mask is GF. S6 had the best and most ruthless GF until the lame reveal. Last 20 minutes almost ruined the movie. 12 people were gf maybe half were good reveals and good killers. S1, S2, and S4. S4 I'm in the minority but it was ahead of its time. Jill was a phyco legit and she almost got away with it.. it was an actual good reveal

I grew up in the peak of the slasher genre which was the 80's. The truth is that their was only 2 Iconic slashers and it wasn't close. It was Freddy and Jason. If you could find a Micheal mask people would call you "Jason". I'm a huge Freddy fan and know why Jason was the perfect rival. It's based on iconic status and power. When I see a list and it doesn't start with those 2 it makes me think it biased. At least this video admits this.

@jsmacks11 2 месяца назад

I think Jason should be at the top. He was always scarier than Michael Myers. The movies 1-4 are rock solid slashers. I even enjoyed 5-6 but the series started to get weird around part 7.

That's what a lot of folks are missing about the "icon" status. It's not about personal feelings on the characters, the movies or otherwise. Jason is one of the handful of "monsters" that broke the boundary from screen Slasher to pop culture, and whether the movies were shit or not, people kept coming back and the star only grew brighter. Taylor Swift is shit, but is absolutely the definition of an "icon". Personal feelings don't affect whether the character is iconic or not, but way too many peeps in the comments all up in their feels about "they're not iconic cause I think the movies/character are bad."

Next to Michael, Jason is my most iconic. The hockey mask is the face of the slasher genre.

@ash37500 Год назад

In my opinion I personally think that ghostface should be put at iconic because the actual character look itself it’s so iconic. Everyone would be able to recognize who ghostface is even if they haven’t watched the movies. I separate ghostface and the people behind the mask. I see them as different but ghostface itself I feel is super iconic.

@michaeliglesia7326 Год назад

Art the clown to me is iconic already. I enjoyed even the “all hallows Eve” film. Definitely was happy to have terrifier 2 win horror fans over. But I do understand why he’s in KILLER. Part 3 will make him iconic for you though for sure😅👍🏽

Great tier list other than Ghostface. The Ghostface mask is unbelievably iconic, even to those who don't even know what Scream is. I remember seeing LOADS of teens wearing Ghostface costumes for Halloween back in the early 2000s and even today. Hell, the reason why I got into Scream is because of how cool and iconic the Ghostface mask is. I also feel like Billy The Puppet should be iconic too, probably just as much as Ghostface. Also, Pearl is great, I just don't think she made a big enough splash as a villainess, but moreso the movie Pearl did some waves along with X. I think Hannibal, Jason and Pennywise also deserve the iconic tier as well. The more I go over your list, the more I disagree, but that's perfectly fine haha, still a solid ass video.

@chris_rubright75 Год назад

Great video Cody! Really loved your explanation of each character, your own opinions, and how it brought joy or excitement to watching horror/slasher films. Although, I can't help but mention that Jason, Ghostface, Pennywise, and Leatherface are 100% iconic villiains and have always influenced pop culture and are some of the first names you think of when talking about horror films.

@kylewood4488-b9r 11 месяцев назад

Jason and Ghostface should be in the Iconic category. I see the argument with Ghostface but that costume alone has been a staple of Halloween since the first movie came out. It doesn't matter who is behind the mask it's the presence itself that brings back nostalgia and fear.

@WokeMoth Год назад

Never heard of “Tall Man” before

@amandamoore6789 Год назад

I would be interested to see how this tier list would differ if you ranked these horror icons only by the movies you enjoy in the franchises and disregard the bad movies. I feel like that would be fair since it’s not technically a franchise tier list. Awesome video, as always!

@movieguy82 Год назад

My first introduction into horror was actually with “Jason Lives”, “The Dream Master”, “Child’s Play”, “Hellraiser” and “Sleepaway Camp II”. Michael Myers was actually, to me, was like Jason with you, I didn’t watch a single “Halloween” movie for whatever reason until “Curse of Michael Myers”.

@leg3ndaryxcam Год назад

So that’s why he put micheal in reject just because he didn’t watch the movies. Trash if he did it based of the characters that way then fs micheal would’ve been iconic ghostface, Jason, Freddy, and whoever else is basically the fore fathers of most of these horror movies

@jasonito23 Год назад

Ghostface and Jason in iconic and this list would be squared away:) you cannot go a single Halloween without seeing Ghostface, Freddy, Jason, and Michael costumes posted everywhere and in every Halloween store. Those 4 are the mount Rushmore of slasher horror. They are iconic from head to toe and the most easily recognized soundtracks by people who dont even watch horror movies. Sure they all have their misses with their movies... but so does every franchise:)

@xboxgamerz500 Год назад

Loved the video, lot of info and you explain yourself very well! Jason voorhees and ghostface are iconic though, they just are. Iconic isnt about quality of film or 'whos behind the mask' its about...how iconic and well known they are. Frankly having the tall man up there but not either of those is sooo off base

@Apollo22251 Год назад

In my opinion the reason that the strangers are so loved for me especially is that they didn’t need a creepy backstory, or build up or anything, they where just three people who decided to murder a couple in the first movie (and it was a great choice to have them be finally killed in the daytime) and the second movie has incredible atmosphere. The knocking, the skinning, the line why are you doing this “because we can” come on. Love the video man had to represent the strangers fans

Hey Cody, great tier list and thanks for including the miner. Most folks do not think about My Bloody Valentine and I think it could use a modern day sequel. Keep up the great work and your comment on Halloween fans was hilarious.

@SaguaroBlossom Год назад

I'd include the Predator franchise and the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise. Both have really good and really bad movies, and some pretty awesome kills. It's practically criminal that Prey wasn't given a theatrical release. It was excellent! The Prometheus crap is a totally different character, only tangentially related to the Xenomorph storyline IMO. You also forgot Sam from Trick R Treat, Pan's Labyrinth, and Krampus.

@killblow4202 10 месяцев назад

@tylereddy15 Год назад

Love the tier list content, this one especially. I feel like everyone's opinion on iconic horror villains comes from when they saw them first or which one scared them the most as a child. When you see the movies for the first time as an adult it isn't quite the same effect. This video has made me wanna check out X and Pearl as well.

@osherperri8677 Год назад

The only reason I say that Ghostface, Jason, Michael, and Freddy should be under iconic, is because people of all ages know who they are. Even if they don’t like horror. They are the most known characters of ANY horror franchise. That’s just my opinion, and I agree with most of your list!

I would definitely personally have to put Jason in iconic because while about half of his movies are not so good. I'm very nostalgic for the other half and I also grew up in the Northeast where camps are ridiculously common so the movies always feel close to home.

@lakeshowkv51 11 месяцев назад

Iconic should be how well known they are regardless of how people feel about certain movies cause its subjective. But you cant deny how iconic jason, pennywise and ghostface are. You can show any kid or adult a picture of all three and theyll know who they are. Household names are iconic.
