Top 31 MST3K Villains: 15-11

#15 June and Paul THE LEECH WOMAN (802)
Ah, June and Paul. The embodiment of failed, corrosive marriages everywhere. In one corner we have Dr. Paul: sarcastic, manipulative, ego-maniacal, takes pleasure at his wife's displeasure.
June: raging alcoholic, loves the booze, despises her husband yet desperately seeks his approval. Places all self-worth in her appearance which is starting to deteriorate, thus causing Paul to lose all sexual interest in her.
This dynamic duo of deep seeded bitterness and backbiting are two of the truly evil villains to grace this list!


#14 Soultaker and the Angel of Death SOULTAKER (1001)
Joe Estevez and Robert Z'dar team up for a powerhouse performance in SOULTAKER, the unintentionally funny, less entertaining version of Ghost Dad. It makes me wonder how no one besides Ingmar Bergman thought of the idea earlier. In most horror films the bad guys usually try to kill people. But so what? It's not like they're determining the fate of their victim's immortal souls...until now!
The most chilling aspect of this film: the realization that you're not dealing with the usual Estevez or Sheen.


#13 Satan THE UNDEAD (806)
Beelzebub, Lucifer, The Prince of Darkness, a common fixture in the movies of mst3k. Of all his incarnations in the b-movie world, including his feud with Santa Claus, I think his finest moment was his appearance in the Leonard Maltin favorite "The Undead". Here Satan is at his most elf-like, a spry, young, devilish upstart looking forward to grabbing those souls. In the slightly memorable introduction scene the devil warns us about something happening to someone or something...I dunno, he's very emphatic about it though.

#12 Sheriff SQUIRM (1012)
The country-cracker sheriff, white as snow, life-long klan member and (like Satan) a very common element in the low budget film. There are in fact a number of memorably bad members of law enforcement that could have made this list. But of them all one holds a special place in my heart, the weird albino sheriff from the worm horror film Squirm.
As everybody knows perfectly well small town law is deathly suspicious of outsiders, especially if they're from the opposing side in the war of northern aggression. You step outta line with your alien Yankee ways and there'll be a deep fried boot up yer @$ before you can say "Egg Cream".

#11 Parrot/Sloth Alien NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST (701)
There are many giant turds meant to pass as movie monsters but few match the poor/nonexistent level of craftsmanship employed in the making of the Blood Beast, who looks like a wad of gum after a trip through a vacuum cleaner. Contrasting his utterly pathetic visual quality is the exotic alien voice of Richard Keilly, or some equally bad 1950's American overdub.
