Villains have always been with us. In a war-plagued world, brutality and corruption embody our darkest fears--all that is selfish and wicked in the human soul. And they also happen to be great box-office draw as we see in this fascinating, terrifying look at some of the most evil--and best-loved--characters ever created--from Dracula to Darth Vader to Hannibal Lecter. Featuring interviews with actors like Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct) and directors such as George Lucas (Star Wars), John Carpenter (Halloween), this riveting, insightful film exploration takes viewers through more than 100 years of screen evil, including clips from the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Shiver through our comprehensive gallery of rogues in a bone-chilling homage to the men and women who haunt our darkest dreams...and fulfill our most secret desires?
