Time once again to face the evil with the annual Big Bad Blogathon celebrating cinema’s worst villains.
The blogathon is now underway so this will be the event hub. Bookmark and keep coming back as we update with the nightly recaps. When the blogathon is over all the links will be archived here.
Day 1 / Day 2 / Day 3 / Day 4 / Day 5 / Wrap-up
Original announcement:
Just pick a favourite movie villain, whether outlaw, thug, crazed fan, dictator, mistress, monster, slasher, gangster, alien, animated or artificial intelligence; pick any scoundrel to scrutinize, rascal to respect, or evildoer to evaluate, from any era, country and genre of film.
Your Hosts for The Great Villain Blogathon 2017: Ruth of Silver Screenings, Karen of Shadows & Satin and Kristina of Speakeasy.
The Date: April 25-29, 2017, you may post any day you like.

Hi, Would it be okay if I substituted Patrick McGoohan in Silver Streak and Braveheart for my original choice? Just saw Silver Streak again, and was reminded how menacing he could be! :)

Last year I went for the more humorous pick. I think I’ll take a more serious tack this year. To wit, I chose…
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, that’s Ricardo Montalban’s portrayal. Someone else can take Benedict Cumberbatch’s variation if they want.

One more, but that’s it. I think 3 is all I can handle in a week. But I just re-watched Westworld. Yul Brynner as the Robot Gunslinger makes an almost perfect choice for a villain, dontcha think? So here is my schedule that I will commit myself to follow through:
April 25: The Robot Gunslinger in “Westworld”
April 27: “Christine”
April 29: “The Wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!”

Great choices, all! Yul is great in that–they even had a little glimpse of him in the WW TV series which was fun to spot.
