Upset of the century that Hannibal the Cannibal didn't win right? I mean the man has everything going in his favor, rhyming, fame, sweet biting restraint, and Anthony Hopkins, but let's be honest with each other. By the end of Silence of the Lambs you found yourself rooting for Hannibal didn't you? With that charm and that distinguished gentlemen attire you could almost forget the guy liked to chow down on brains. Which is all the complete and total opposite of our winner.
Winner: Eugene Victor Tooms
The monster-of-the-week X-Files episodes hold up so much better than the alien conspiracy mythology one. And Tooms was the very first monster, appearing in the third episode of the series, Squeeze. Tooms, played super creepily by Doug Hutchinson, is a mutant who can maintain his youth by hibernating in a cocoon after consuming five human livers every 30 years. Tooms' mutation also allows him to fit into incredibly small spaces (like air ducts) to attack his victims by surprise. Watching Tooms stalk Scully is creepy and tense as hell.
