I've gotta go with Leatherface, he is still my favourite!

Leatherface! More generically scary to those who aren't in the know.

Leatherface. He's real.

What no love for Charles Manson???

They need to make a 1:1 animated/talking display of him for halloween. He could be holding a dish full of sugar cubes for the kiddies, rambling on about the final war and gods divine plan for his children.

It's hard to choose between the child molester and the cannibal for scaring the neighborhood kids. What ever happened to Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman?

Got to be Leatherface, i am gonna be Leatherface for our Halloween drunken day out, it starts about 11am and goes on till about 2am the next day,about 30 of us all dressed up. It gets very messy.

I'm more of a Freddy fan myself...

If you really want to scare them, I'd put up Martha Sterwart though.

This... idea... is... BRILLIANT! I've never started Halloween so early before.

Only if he's using a Craftsman chainsaw. J/k

Sad to say, the classic horror figures just aren't scary enough these days. Between the exposure over the decades and Universal licensing their likenesses to sell beer (or whatever), people are just too familiar with them for them to be frightening.

Back on-topic, I'd go with Leatherface. IMO Freddy Krueger also suffers from over-exposure these days, and all the wisecracks and one-liners lessen the character's impact. That chainsaw, on the other hand...as Cayman Shen posted, those who aren't in-the-know are more likely to take a few steps backwards if they see a large lunatic in a blood-stained apron running at them with a gas-powered garden tool.

And if you're gonna use a real chainsaw, remove the blade! Like a dental drill, the sound is enough to get under the skins of most people.
