Unsung Villains

So we all hear the term 'unsung heroes;' people who do heroic deeds without mention. Never do you hear of unsung villains - though there are probably more villains than heroes out there. But some of the best villains are often unsung. I'm talking about movie/TV monsters here.

Now, we all know about Freddy, Jason, Michael, Leatherface, Chucky, whatever. Those guys are sung. Everyone's singing. Though, the virus from Are You Afraid Of The Dark is one that no one has heard of, and he terrified me as a kid. I was just getting into computers, and I was thinking that I'm going to get taken over by a little silver man.

Then, further on in my youth, but still quite a while ago, there were The Gentlemen from Buffy. I never saw the episode, I was never really into the show, but these guys stuck with me. They're still pretty terrifying, what with the taking out your heart whil you're unable to scream.

Recently, I picked up the box sets of the Doctor Who 2005 series, and I saw the Blink episode. Y'know, the one with the Weeping Angels? Or how about the episode "The Waters Of Mars, with The Flood? Not as scary now that I'm older, but still kind of unsettling.

Anyone have any unsung villains of their own?
