When it comes to horror movie villains, there are definitely some great characters. From evil masterminds to cold blooded killers. And then there are some who seem so easy to out smart or escape from that you wonder how anyone managed to get killed by them. Based on that idea, I've compiled a short list of those movie villains that are quite easy to escape from or defeat, starting from five (fairly easy) and counting down to one (easiest of all). Without further delay, lets get into the list.

5. The Devil: When it comes to the devil, he usually makes his appearances in possession movies. Apparently, Satan gets his sick kicks out of taking control of a young child and causing all kinds of chaos. The family of said possessed child almost always ends up hiring a priest of some sort to preform an exorcism. One of which never seems to work. So what should a family do when their loved one has been possessed by Lucifer himself? Well, there is an easy solution. Just leave. Leave the house, all the belongings and the possessed kid. Is it a heartless move? Absolutely. But guess what? You are alive and managed to save two out of three kids. Besides, the youngest one was only seven. No one has gotten that attached to him/her anyway.

4. Jason Voorhees: Without a doubt Jason Voorhees is one of the most iconic horror movie villains ever created. His ruthlessness and brutality make up a pillar of the horror genre and has gained him numerous fans. However, when it comes to escaping one of the godfathers of horror, one can get away without much resistance if they can execute a simple two part plan. If caught by Mr. Voorhees during a trip to camp Crystal Lake, you should do the following. 1.) Obtain and show the psychopath a picture or memento of his dead mother. Upon seeing something from dear old mom, Jason is bound to take a moment to reminisce on the good times he had with his mother (before the drowning and string of mass murders). While he is that state of nostalgia, go into phase 2.) Run like hell! And don't stop running until you are safely out of camp Crystal Lake. After this, just hope that Jason isn't into tracking his victims across states. Also, preventive measures are welcome as well, so just don't go to camp Crystal Lake in the first place. Or Elm Street for that matter, which brings us to the third person on the list.

3. Freddy Kruger: This strategy may not be the best one to use, but it's certainly the one I would go with. So lets set the scene. You've just passed out after days of exhaustion from trying to stay awake. You enter your worst nightmare (pitch black area, an empty hospital, late night at a McDonald's. Whatever terrifies you the most). You manage to traverse the area until you come face to face with the monster himself. What is one to do when faced with such a devastating villain? Ridicule and criticize him of course. I don't know about everyone else, but when faced with a child molester/murderer who received the purest form of social justice by being burned alive but somehow gets the opportunity to be resurrected into a dream specter that has now come to kill me, I am going to talk his head off. By the time I'm done, he'll kill me just for some peace and quiet. Afterward, I will invoke the same evil twist of fate he did to invade his dreams and berate him with words for the rest of time. Not the most logical tactic, but it's how I would get the job done

2. Scream Guy: When it comes to the movie Scream, I could never understand why the characters wouldn't just shoot the guy in the scream mask. This isn't some behemoth of a man, or a supernatural force. It's a dude in a mask. Bullets affect him the same way they affect the rest of us. And in today's society, a serial killer with a kitchen knife would only be able to murder a few people before meeting the business end of an AR-15. So unless he's got a bullet proof vest under that bed sheet or a bomb strapped to him, the Scream guy shouldn't be that hard to defeat.

1. Chucky: So let me get this straight. A serial killer transports his soul into a doll. This doll is then purchased by a family. During the passing weeks, strange occurrences happen to the family with the doll being at the center of these instances. The doll begins murdering people, the family finds out and thus begins a struggle for survival. During which no one tries to, pause for dramatic effect, punt the doll? Chucky is the size of a kick ball and no one kicks him? How in the world can a one and a half foot doll cause this much bedlam? He's a doll. Sentient or not, a doll is a pretty easy object to toss. Even dolls with batteries in the back are still easy to manhandle. If you are faced with an evil doll (I'm looking at you too Annabelle), do to them what the Hulk did to Loki in the Avengers. Grab them by the leg and slam them repeatedly into the ground. Follow this up by lighting them on fire for good measure.

And that's my list. Let me know if you agree or if you know any horror movie villains that would be easy to defeat or escape from. And as always, thanks for reading.
