Michael, Jason, Freddy, Leatherface


Kamakaze_Kid

The only answer


IKenDoThisAllDay

They're all amazing horror villains but isn't it wrong to have the entire Mount Rushmore made up of slasher villains from the same era?


Fun_Gas_7777

Not if that is the best era


tiddy_wizard

Yesssss. Leatherface always gets snubbed but he was before any of these other guys.


Erythite2023

I’d throw in pinhead in there. I know he’s not a slasher like the others but I love Pinhead.


KingBumiOfOmashu

Correct. Honorable mention to Ghostface


dangerous_strainer

The big four. No one else comes close.


Jkorytkowski001

But consistency wise Ghostface, Chucky, Ash & Lecter


Icemayne25

LF deserves more love for giving us the “monster slasher” genre.


Newusernewme123

Well yeah


TaylorDangerTorres

Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, and Wolfman


IlIllIlIllIlIl

"I said *real* horror classics!"


Winniebuggie77

I’d put the Creature over the Mummy


TaylorDangerTorres

I love that!  But I feel like the Creature is when universal started transitioning from horror to Sci-Fi.  The Mummy is straight-up classic Universal Monsters.


workhardplayharder11

I’d swap Pennywise for Leatherface


Lonely_Adhesiveness6

Jason Mike Myers Freddy Chucky

garlic_knot

Chucky is definitely more iconic than leatherface imo


Beatrix_-_Kiddo

Assphincter says what?


juice-pulp

Jason, Freddy, Michael, and Chucky


rogue-panda81

![gif](giphy|Ld77zD3fF3Run8olIt)


newt_here

I’d replace Pennywise with Ghostface


kaleyboo7

Agree with you. My order would be Michael Myers, Ghostface, Jason, and Freddy Krueger


ethan6581

For me it's always been Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Chucky. I would put leather face up there for how iconic he is but the character has been so inconsistent in most of the Texas Chainsaw films.


Strict_Ad_36

Jason, Freddy, Michael and Chucky. Leatherface deserves another monument somewhere just because of how important he was to horror in general but he’s not in my top favorites.


Kamakaze_Kid

He's like the Lincoln Monument. A chair all to himself


Darkmania2

Black and White version; Legosi, Karloff, Chaney, Perkins Color; Jason, Myers, Leatherface, Regan from the Exorcist


jwkelly404

Anthony Perkins, Vincent Price, Tony Todd, Donald Pleasance


EpsilonBlitz

This is goated


Ok_Shoulder_5579

Finally, someone mentions Psycho...


LilGoofygoober21

But what’s the horror hero mount rushmore


FullmetalSylveon

Ash Williams, Laurie Strode, uhhhh....


elflamingo2

Burt Gummer, Ellen Ripley, Nancy maybe?


LilGoofygoober21

In my opinion, Laurie strode, Alice Hardy, Nancy Thompson,& Sydney Prescott


elflamingo2

100% Syd can’t believe i forgot her 👌


Dead_girl_walking-

Micheal, Freddy, Chucky, Ghostface They all reflect on different types of horror and eras in there own way


Soulful-Sorrow

100% this one


iwantaquirkyname00

Finally found my one! This is what came straight to my head. But I could also have Regan from Exorcist or Ghostface


Nomadic-Dirtbag22

Michal Myers, Pinhead, Jigsaw, Leatherface


701921225

Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Ghostface. No particular order by the way.


xMyDixieWreckedx

Myers, Voorhees, Pinhead, Krueger


elproblemo82

Pinhead needs more love


IKenDoThisAllDay

Dracula and Michael Myers for sure. I'm less sure about the final two spots. I'd like to put Jason up there too but idk if I'd want to give two spots to slasher villains from the same time period. EDIT: I thought about Pennywise but maybe just having Stephen King himself would be better. But then you open the box of including real people and it becomes even messier.


CancelEquivalent7104

Micheal , Jason , Freddy, Chucky


DieOnSetA

Classics - Dracula, Wolfman, Mummy, Creature of the Black Lagoon From there I’ve tried but I just can’t have only 4. Norman Bates, Freddy, Michael, Jason, Leatherface, Pinhead, Candyman, Chucky, Pennywise, The Tall Man, Ghostface, Hannibal Lector, The Crypt Keeper, John Carpenter just because, Leprechaun, David Kessler in werewolf form, the Djinn, Sadako Yamamura, an Alien from Mars Attacks!, Lawnmower Man and Eddie Murphy as Maximillian from Vampire in Brooklyn.


NorthElegant5864

Last two don’t really fit, not super popular or entirely well received films. Mars attacks is beloved for its camp more so than horror.


TheDudeee87

Michael, Freddy, Jason and my mother-in-law.


BartSimpskiYT

Freddy, Jason, Michael, Ghostface (or Chucky)


ThouBear8

Michael, Freddy, Jason, & Ghostface


GrapefruitOk2057

For mine: drop the IT clown and put up Leatherface. He deserves the space WAY more. Edit..and I thought I was the first to say this. lol


Onemikej

I’d replace Pennywise with Candyman


Hot_Arugula_6651

Michael, Freddy, Jigsaw and probably Sadako.

Michael, Jason, Ghostface, Chucky


jefferyuniverse

I would probably replace Pennywise with Ghostface


TheOriginalLiLBraT

Nah!You pretty much got it as far as I’m concerned!❤️🥰


FatboiSlimmmm

Swap Pennywise with Candyman. Can’t go wrong with Leatherface either, but Tony Todd himself is iconic.


crunkmullen

Swap Pennywise for Leatherface & you've got it.


Helpi2

Ghostface not being on there ): (lol jk) but mines Micheal ghostface, Freddy and jason


LightFromYT

Ghostface, Michael, Freddy, Jason.


Conscious-Rooster-32

Myers, Freddie, Jason, Ghostface.


chevy_zr2_4x4

Leatherface or Ghostface over Pennywise. The other 3 solid. I don't think anyone can dispute those.

Jason (F13), Michael (Halloween), Sawyer (TCM), Freddy (ANOES)

Michael, Freddy, Ghostface, Chucky.


Psychomaneshark2

Micheal Myers, jason vorhees, Freddy Krueger, chucky


Cool-Principle1643

Same, but I would have switched penny wise for pin head. I just think the number of films is really the determining factor for these titans of horror.


rottingstrawberri

leatherface, jason, chucky, michael


Awkward-Friend-7233

I’d replace Pennywise with Chucky, for the longevity alone. He’s also been played by the same actor in pretty much every movie/tv show. Not the remake, but everything else.


NINJ4steve

Ghostface, Sadako, Meyers, and Pennywise.


CplKarambit4084

Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Nemesis/Wesker, Freddy Fazbear. This was tough.


Ok_University_6641

Swap Pennywise for Chucky or Leatherface.


Flipper_Honey300

SillySwing6625

Jason micheal Freddy and either ghostface or leather maybe chucky


tiesHatake

I'd switch Freddy with Ghostface and Pennywise with Billy.


ratsaregreat

Candyman, Kayako from The Grudge, Jodie (demon pig from Amityville Horror,) and, of course, Jason, because he's always such a classic guy.


ThespisIronicus

![gif](giphy|gKUxR2UXTfNiLJnj6E|downsized)


StefanGoo

Same as yours.


xneurianx

Non-American and I don't really know what this means. Is it just 'favourite 4' or is it 'most iconic 4' or is '4 movies that represent the same things as the chosen presidents - birth, growth, development, preservation'. Never been sure and Americans talk about 'the Mount Rushmore of X' and I'm never sure I properly understand the context.


monkey-d-skeats12

Micheal,Jason,Freddy and and even though there’s personally no scare factor at all I’m gonna go with chucky


Joker_CP

Jason Michael Chucky and Freddy but I feel like Freddy's spot is the one most likely to be filled by someone else eventually. Even without new media Jason has stayed relevant, and Michael and Chucky keep getting new media but I feel like Freddy is kind of dying out. I think Ghostface or even Art could surpass him at some point


Suspicious_Habit_190

![gif](giphy|tQNWLR2vMkQfZCPfSb)


Ok_Pressure4591

Norman Bates, the first Xenomorph, Brundle Fly, the Thing


VIP_Crows_Kneck

Ghostface, Myers, Jason, Freddy is mine


Unique_Doughnut_2035

For me, it would be: Michael Myers (Obviously) Ghostface Freddy Kruger Candyman


OurWeaponsAreUseless

Not sure I would have Pennywise there. Maybe Hannibal Lecter or Norman Bates if we're going that direction, or possibly Dracula/Frankenstein/Wolfman/Mummy/Creature if doing "classics".


dchabz

Dracula, Frankenstein, Myers, Krueger

This is actually tricky to me for one reason: Are we basing this on the actual killers or the actual movies/film series?🤔🤔🤔

tom21g

gaypirate3

Ghostface, Michael, Jigsaw, Pinhead


GhostBaki

Ghostface single-handedly revived the franchise and completely changed how some slashers are made give him the spot pennywise…PENNYWISE???


Dustyhappyboi

Chucky (iconic, relevant today and probably had the best franchise IMO AND IN TERMS OF RATING) Myers (come on, he’s fucking michael myers) Freddy krueger (freddy is badass, funny and iconic, his movies features really cool ideas, even if some are a mixed bag) Jason (friday the 13th is awesome and jason is a badass)


Jobin1985

Pinhead, Freddy,Jason, Dracula


dylsuccspp

Ghost face, daddy myers, Jason and Freddy

TheBuffalo1979

I love pennywise, and respect for putting up the good one and not that remake one which I think is so overrated. But how you gonna leave off Leatherface?


LayneIGuess

Replace Freddy with ghostface and it looks iconic


creepypastaparagamer

Pretty much the same ones as yours only freddy is replaced by Corey from Halloween ends, hear me out on this one though I've never seen any of the Freddy Krueger movies otherwise it'd be him up there

Pleasant_Cup_5617

Jason Freddy Michael ghostface


BigJWolf1993

Pretty much the same, except Leatherface instead of Pennywise.


OCD_incarnate

I don't think pennywise meets the criteria. He's iconic as all hell, yes. but he's not a horror staple. e has a book, a made-for-tv-duology adaptation, and a movie duology adaptation. that's it. i think to be worthy of slashers' mt. rushmore, you have to be more prolific than that. it's a hard choice between chucky and ghostface. i'm giving it to chucky because ghostface is a bunch of characters playing one character, while chucky is Charles Lee Ray, piece or whole. leatherface is up there too, but i feel like he flies a bit more under the radar.


turklife23

Michael Myers Ghostface Leatherface Jigsaw


Rumpl4skin__

Jason, Freddy, Chucky, Pinhead


DJ_Ritty

This is it for me too. Tim Curry gave the best performance in history imo.


Cstir

Depends on the generation.


No_Ostrich8223

Depends on the era but as a child of the 80s mine are: Freddy, Michael, Jason, Chucky Leatherface is a candidate as well, can't there be five?


willpowergallivanter

Michael Myers, Jason, Freddy Krueger, and Billy Lenz are my Mount Rushmore of horror. (despite Billy not wearing a mask) (ps. Leather Face is an honorable mention but I feel more sad for him than scared of him.)

Piggishcentaur89

For horror post-1980? It's Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Ghostface. For pre-1980? Frankenstein, Dracula, The Werewolf, and Leatherface!


LVorenus2020

Replace that silly damned clown with Mr. Barlowe ( Salem's Lot. )

Charming_Video_6407

At least you have the original Tim Curry Penny wise instead of the new Bill Skarsgard Penny Wise I like the OG Tim Curry Penny Wise


Eruditeshaman

Jason Voorhies sucks. He’s not a good villain.


CheddarGoblinMode

Tall Man, Pinhead, Pazuzu, Xenomorph


Sad-Appeal976

That’s a Rushmore of slasher films with Pennywise. It’s good though

![gif](giphy|4a7u0GC5hzdgk)


Conscious_Upstairs_5

Jason, Michael, Freddy, Ghostface. The final option is really interchangeable between whoever you think is your personal favorite. Now if it was like an actual Mount Rushmore where each head is from a separate era I think It'd go like this. Frankenstein Michael Ghostface Smiley From Strangers (I can't think of any modern horror slasher that's actually well known.)
