Yeah, Norman Bates isn’t a psychopath. He has DID, a completely different diagnosis. He is sent to an insane asylum. Psychopaths aren’t considered for asylums as punishment instead of prison if they’ve been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder as it’s a known fact that they very clearly know the difference between right and wrong. Norman wasn’t a psychopath. At worst, he’s a peeper with a mental illness. Though, as someone else here pointed out, his mother very much was. She should be on the list, not Norman.
Also The Strangers over the teens and then adults in Eden Lake And perhaps the most overlooked psychopath in literature/theatre/film, R. P. McMurphy from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. He’s seen as the hero, but he is a textbook psychopath.

Yeah.
These movies always try to portrait
pschpaths like something
very extraordinary, very interesting and special
characters.
Like if they weren't even human, at all.
But you, the next day,
when you absolutely carelessly,
not even realizing it,
make fun of your colleague
with a bunch of your other colleagues,
behind its back,
'cause you're the civilized one
who doesn't speak about somebody
like if he/she wasn't there,
then you are the same pschpath.
Only you are on a leash
by your morals and ethics.
But you are the same biorobot
without a soul.
You are the pschpath
who is also a coward.

Rutger Hauer's character in 'The Hitcher' actually served as the inspiration for The Joker in The Dark Knight. It's also one of Christopher Nolan's favorite movies.
Btw, these are NOT the most terrifying psychopaths in movies, these are only the most well-known ones. Even some well-known ones are shockingly absent such as Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, Lou from Nightcrawler, Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction etc.
If this comment gets 100 likes, I will start listing each one, especially one psychopath who makes Heath Ledger's Joker seem like his Mickey Mouse compared to him.

Jack Scagnetti - Natural Born Killers played by the late Tom Sizemore he was a corrupt cop who murdered prostitutes while on the hunt for serial killers Mickey and Mallory Knox. I would have considered his character for this list. But I am very glad that you did put Mr. Blonde on here. Nobody could play the character better than Michael Madsen.

Patrick Bateman was the most traumatizing
Especially when he kills that street dog, we don't actually see it in close-ups, but hearing it yelping gave an idea of how much it suffered
And the worst part is that it's not even certain whether it died on the spot or if it took hours to die out

Robert Doob from An Eye For An Eye, so effectively played by Kiefer Sutherland. His portrayal has been called among the most accurate portrayals of a sociopath ever. You want to take a shower after watching the movie just to get his stench off of you. It's a hard movie to watch.

I would replace Deniro's Max Cady with Brad Pitt's Early Grace from Kalifornia.
Scorsese's Cape Fear is a horrible movie. A pretentious, not scary, on the nose mess trying too hard to be Silence of the Lambs with Deniro over-acting his ass off.

Norman Bates is not a psychopath. He’s incredibly mentally ill and doesn’t even believe he’s committing any murders. Plus, he’s not charming or manipulative in the traditional sense. I don’t think he should even be on this list!

Number two isn't really a psychopath, if anything he's someone that was suffering from did personality disorder and extreme abuse from his mother. His mother was a psychopath but Norman was just as much of a victim

It's pretty obscure, but one of my favorites is Cliff, from Accident Man. Because he's an idiot, completely insane, but barely smart enough to hack people to pieces with an axe. And he's very good at it.

I think Chef Julien Slowik from The Menu should've made the list or at least been an honorable mention. He displays the textbook sense of charm and menace that people with psychopathy tend to display.

You can add the killer couple from The Frighteners, the two leads from Surveillance, the little girl from The Bad Seed, David from The Good Son, and the girl from The Orphan. So creepy when they're evil kids

Patrick Bateman kills several people: Eh, they probably had it coming, anyway.
Bateman kills a dog, and attempts to shove a cat through an ATM: You monster, what did they ever do to you!

I thought Jack Torrance of The Shining was a terrifying psychopath.
Jack chopping doors with an axe and saying Here's Johnny! ' is the stand out scene of the Stanley Kubrick classic.

Does Gordon Gekko remind anyone else of a certain ex-president He displays superficial charm, manipulation & a grandiose sense of self-worth. Sure seems familiar to me.

One thing about Anton Chigurh I caught on is the coin toss. Chigurh only uses it when killing is not business i. e. a target or his life and/or well-being are at stake.
