    The list will be shortened.
    Rules will be in place.
    Probably do it group-by-group like RTH suggested.

    Depends on interest.

    Do by groups... then you could take the top villains of each group to enter the "main battle".

    OK I'm in…
    I could write a list a mile long of villains from classic horror that regardless of their greatness wouldn't make it one round with you guys - so I'll stick with more modern villains.
    That said, this list MUST include the following:

    Frank Booth (Blue Velvet)
    Bobby Peru (Wild at Heart)
    Bill The Butcher (Gangs)
    The Reverend (Night of The Hunter)
    Don Logan (Sexy Beast)
    Max Cady (Cape Fear)
    Begbie (Transpotting)
    Jack Torrance (The Shining)

    Michael Corleone (movie)
    Jaws (movie)
    HAL (movie)
    Terminator (movie)
    Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man (movie)
    Hans Gruber (movie)
    Ivan Drago (movie)
    Gremlins (movie)
    The worms from Tremors (movie)
    Biff Tannen (movie)
    Calvin Candie (movie)
    Anton Chigurh (movie)
    Frank Booth (movie)
    Bobby Peru (movie)
    Bill The Butcher (movie)
    The Reverend (movie)
    Don Logan (movie)
    Max Cady (movie)
    Begbie (movie)
    Jack Torrance (movie)
    Sauron (book/movie)
    Iago (book)

    Total is 54

    Need 10 more.

    Then will do a March Madness style bracket. To get the major ones out of the way, eg:

    Arkham Group
    Joker 4
    Hannibal Lecter 4
    Darth Vader 4
    Freddy Kruger 4

    Five Points of New York Group
    Begbie 4
    Jack Torrance 4
    Sauron 4
    Iago 4

    etc.

    Groups will be set up based on medium they appear in (as best as possible. Lot more movie and comics than TV and books).

    Do your +4 -4 for each group, last 2 go through to Sweet 16

    Sweet 16 is based on points they already have. 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14 etc.

    So eg:

    Hannibal Lecter 10
    Darth Vader 7
    Jack Torrance 2
    Sauron 4

    Will be:

    Hannibal Lecter 10
    Darth Vader 7
    Sauron 4
    Jack Torrance 2

    = Lecter vs Torrance (Poll) & Vader vs Sauron (Poll).

    Sweet 16 will have multiple polls per day.

    Then Lecter vs Vader (Poll)

    Vader is winner of one bracket. Will vote against winner of another bracket.

    Will leave 2 remaining for all the marbles.

    Also open to voting rules. Personal choice? Most evilest? Who would win head-to-head?

    Personally, with such a wide array of villains... powers should be left out.

    I think we should focus on just "how evil"... "motivations for being evil"... etc

    Honestly I think putting rules/criteria on it will end up being a waste of time. We all know at a certain point everyone is just going to vote for their "favorite" anyway.
