Since reading The Vine's hilarious and disturbing
review of The Human Centipede we realised that there is a bunch of doctors throughout the horror genre that you definitely wouldn't want near your person. We made a list of some of the creepiest.
Dr Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs
Go in for a check up, and he'll eat your liver with fava beans. And a nice bottle of chianti.
Herbert West, Re-Animator
Technically a medical student still, but he counts. Waking up the dead made Herbert West a horror icon, but it was also way funny, and messy.
Dr Christian Szell, Marathon Man
Technically a dentist, but dude knows how to torture. Poor D Hoff.
Dr Paul Moreau, The Island of Dr. Moreau
Possibly the reason fundamentalists are anti-cloning.
Dr Philip K Dekker, Nightbreed
Do. Not. Want.
Dr Logan, Day of the Dead
He played with the un-dead, and got made dead. There's a lesson there somewhere.
Dr Henry Frankenstein, Frankenstein
At least he tells it like it is.
Dr Giggles, Dr Giggles
His prescription is for terror! (No repeats.)
Dr Jekyll, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
The doctor who treats himself, and ends up with a monobrow.
Dr Heiter, The Human Centipede
Those crazy Euros! (Seriously, this looks so many kinds of gross.)
