we’re counting down our picks for classic film antagonists who karma came back to bite. Spoilers are ahead. Our countdown includes villains from movies The Public Enemy, The Manchurian Candidate, Mildred Pierce and more! Charles Boyer playing a villain as terrible as Anton in Gaslight was such a gutsy move for his career, and it paid off well. When Ingrid Bergman's character finally gets her revenge taunting him, it's so cathartic. Tour de force performances from both of them!

One you missed: Max Cady from the original Cape Fear film played by Robert Mitchum. The finale monologue of Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck)'s throwing his own words of revenge back in his (Cady's) face, intending to let him live but in prison for life instead of killing him (and thus asserting the moral high ground of not sinking to his level as an animal/hammering the film's theme home) really deserves more credit.

The Manchurian Candidate and Wizard of Oz. This list makes me happy! Angela Lansbury in an evil role was so stunning! She actually made me hate her character, which is incredible acting. Thank you friend
Number one finally gives Gaslighting a definition years later!

Actually, the wicked witch did not get what she deserved. She was very misunderstood as a character. If you have watched the prequel musical to this, then it will explain a lot about her and her experience so it definitely recommend watching.

Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West, was a sweet lady in real life, who had worked as a teacher, and loved children. She even appeared on Mr Rogers to explain that she was just pretending to be mean.

How about Lars Thorwold, who, after murdering his wife, discovers that one of his courtyard neighbors, (an injured news photographer, has figured out his crime in the classic Hitchcock film Rear Window

not quite right to describe Gregory Anton as a classic Hollywood villain; he was basically Paul Mallen from the British original of GASLIGHT a few years previously

Evil Queen’s death did unfortunately cause a trend of Disney villains falling to their death. Not all of them did, but many did that trope

The best comeuppance is Lena Lamont in Singing in the Rain and it was so epic! One of many reasons why that’s my favorite movie!

In the play The Bad Seed Rhoda gets away with everything. Couldn’t do that in the movie in those days. Had to pay for her sins.
