Sometimes, it’s good to be bad.

The 1896 short film is widely regarded as the first horror m🎃ovie ever made.

In a handful of minute🦩s, the devil conjures a woman from a cauldron and tortures two noblemen with bats, witches, and disappearing furniture, only to be brought down by that old ace in the hole, a giant crucifix.

In the years since, horrꦑor villains have evolved alongside our collective fears and desires🌞, proving that what we repress returns to haunt and hunt us.

Aries essayist and Agnes Repplier had a recipe for a baddy, “A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.”

Perhaps this serves to explain why so many of our favorite villains don’t stay dead for long.

Astrology acknowledge꧋s and explores the ways in which we are each a grab bag of good and evil, and horror movies shock and delight us with villains whose brutality is undercut by human commonality.

With this in mind, we bring you a list of horror ꦛmovie villains akin to each sign in 🍰the zodiac.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

Carrie

Aries folk are quick to react and regret.

Enter Carrie White, protagonist of the eponymous 1970’s coming-of-age tale of menstruation, religious fanaticism, and murder. Flaring tempers are par for the course for an Aries, though in the case of Carrie, the flare is literal, and the death toll is high.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

Jennifer Check

Played by IRL bull queen Megan Fox, the titular character in Diablo Cody’s cult hit “Jennifer’s Body” exhibits some decidedly Taurean tendencies. Consider that our girl is hun🐼gry, horny, and so loyal to her BFF that she resists the urge to kill her even though every fiber in her undead being calls for flesh.

True to her Taurus nature, Jennifer pretends like everything is fine, lies ab🅠out her body count, and eats her feelings.

True to 💎her Taurus nature, Jennifer pretends like everything is fine after a deeply traumatic experience, lies about her body𒅌 count, and eats her feelings.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

Freddy Krueger

Symbolized by the twins, the Gemini personality easily lends it𓂃self to leading a double life. Case in point: Freddy Kruger, who operated as both a family man and a child murderer.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication🅷, and compared to other stalking, silent-types Kruger🍨 is a verifiable chatterbox.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and compared to other stalking, silent-type, Kruger is a verifiable✱ chatterbox.

Played by real-life Gemini Robert Englund, he’s big on one-liners, dark humor, and stripes.

Geminis😼 have a famously hard time deciding on anything and/or distinguishing fantasy from reality and true to sign; Krueger gets his kicks from killing in liminal spaces,

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Jason Voorhees

Jason Voorhees was born under the sun sign of Gemini, but his birthdate, June 16, 1946, reveals he has a stellium in Cancer, and folks, it shows.

Despite their reputation for softness and sensitivity, Cancers are among the most resilient members of the zodiac; looking at you, double crab Courtney Love. In-kind, Voorhees was able to survive not on🐟ly an attempted drowning but also an adolescence ꦉspent living off the land.

Cancer is associated with the archetype of the mother, and Voorhees is nothing if not a big-time momma’s boy, exhibited in the shrine he builds to her severed head.

Tender terror.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)

Pennywise

Leos are the showmen of the zodiac, and no villain puts on more of a show or displays a more outlandish flare for the dramatic than Pennywise, the antagonist of Stephen King’s “IT.”

Leo rules over the fifth house of play, p🌜leasur💝e, and the inner child, sanctums Pennywise perverts and exploits to terrible ends.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

Leatherface

“Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s” Leatherface was based in part (no pun intended) on the real-life serial killer, body snatcher, and apex Virgo, Ed Gein.

Virgos like to keep active and Leatherface is no e😼xception.

Virgos are an industrious bunch who hate to waste and our man routinely repurposes human flesh into meals anඣd masks.

Burly in build, hಌe is nonetheless adept at completing weighteꦅd HIIT-style cardio, chasing his victims at high speeds while balancing the unwieldy accessory of a running chainsaw.

Virgos are an industrious▨ bunch who hate to waste, and our man routinely repurposes human flesh into meals and masks.

Snacks and crafts, y’all.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

Michael Myers

Michael Myers was born on October 19, 1957, making our man a card-carrying Libra.

Air signs aren’t big on emotional displays, apropos of this, Myers says next to nothing and is most definitely dead-eyed behind his mask.

The scales of justice symbolize Libras, and while our man certainly ain’t about keeping the peace, he is trying to democratize death and balance the scales by killing both of his sisters.

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of aesthetics, and this maniac routinely kills in the name of clothing; throughout the parade of “Halloween” films, he takes out truckers, mechanics, and gas station attendants, all in an attempt to keep himself looking utility chic and murder ready in his signature coveralls.

Venus is also the planet of music, and “Halloween” has one of the most recognizable scores in horror history.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

Candyman

Like most Scorpios, Candyman isn’t evil; he’s deeply misunderstood and prone to being undone and utterly unhinged by the power of love.

He’s not so much a maniac as a man committed to vengeance and being remembered, a pursuit close to the dark heart of every Scorpio.

In the original film, Candyman offers im✅mortality to the woman who reminds him of his lost lover, the catch (or hook) being she has to become a killer, too.

Scorpio is concerned with sex, death, and regeneration, making 🔯Candyman a kindred, candied spirit.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

Jigsaw

Archers aim to make the best out of any hand they are dealt. In the case of Jigsaw, that hand is terminal cancer, and his silver lining is teaching others to appreciate and protect the lives they’ve been given.

Sagittarius rules the ninth house of philosophy and lofty ideals, and though his methods may be ques꧅tionable, Jigsaw is essentially a YOLO guru

Sagittarius rules the ninth house of philosophy and lofty ideals. Though his methods may be questionable, our man is essentially a YOLO guru whose motives are to g🌟et others on board with being present, vital, and grateful.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

Jack Torrence

In the Northern Hemisphere, the onset of Capricorn season is marked by the winter solstice, and no movie does more with barren weather than “The Shining.”

Inꦅ astrology, Cap😼ricorn is associated with the father archetype, and Jack Torrence, played with aplomb by Jack Nicholson, is the ultimate bad dad.

✅Capricorns are notor🀅iously terrible at accepting help, often taking on too much responsibility.

True to form, Torrence operates in both the book and the movie as both protagonist a📖nd antagonist, a tall and telltale sea goat order.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

Hannibal Lecter

Hannibal Lecter’s birthdate is given as January 20, 1933 making our man an Aquarius sun with a (no surprise here) Scorpio moon.

Aquarians are natural outsiders﷽ who possess brilliant minds, emotional detachment, and a p💮redisposition towards masks of the literal and metaphorical variety.

Checks out.

Lechter is many things, a master manipulator, a linguist, a cannibal, but lik💦e most water bearers, he is never, ever, average. Aquarians have high hopes for humanity a🤡nd curious ideas about how to serve the masses, for Lechter that means minding manners and dealing death to those that deserve it.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

Samara Morgan

Pisces🐲&nb꧂sp;people are prone to drowning in booze, bubble baths, their tears, and/or the undertow of unrequited love. Samara, the pint-sized and straight-haired antagonist of “The Ring,” takes the bitter cake by being drowned by her own mother.

Neptune, the planet of silver screens, nightmares, imagery, and madness, rules Pisces and Samara uses all of the above to communicate her pain and take her revenge, burning images onto transparent film with her mind. “I see them… and then… they just… are.”

Big-time disturbed water sign vibes.
