From _The Shining_ to _Schindler’s List_, _Misery_ to _Man of Steel,_ _Rocky IV_ to _Home Alone 2,_ this new supercut from [CLS Videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC652Yb8KmRVVaOtEZzF6eMg) features a comprehensive compendium of cinematic bad guys. There are the villains that look like the rest of us — Patrick Bateman, Norman Bates, Hannibal Lecter — and those that look like something else — Bane, The Terminator, Ronan the Accuser. Animated enemies are in the mix. There’s Tai Lung from _Kung Fu Panda_, Syndrome from _The Incredibles_, and, of course, _The Lion King_‘s Scar, who can never be forgiven for what he did to Mufasa.

[Check out the Tumblr](http://villaintribute.tumblr.com/) for the full list of evil doers in the supercut, then cook up some fava beans and pour yourself a glass of a nice Chianti and watch the power of the dark side.
