Not that these characters would have any chance of getting in, but just in case:

The Caretaker - he was an evil dude and possibly
The Sociopath Next Door
The Queen of the Damned - arrogant bitch she was
Red Dragon - Francis was a freak
Dracula - pretty much goes without saying, but hey

Anyone mentioned in my father-in-Law's favorite reference manual --

Who's Who in Hell by Warren Allan Smith

It's about 6 inches thick.

Touchstones don't seem to be loading tonight.
I'll be damned if I know why!
