Who are some iconic characters in horror stories?

Rick Grimes from 'The Walking Dead' is really iconic. He starts as a small - town sheriff but becomes a tough leader in the zombie - filled world. Then there's Tallahassee from 'Zombieland'. He's known for his love of Twinkies and his badassery in killing zombies. And of course, there's Alice from the 'Resident Evil' series. She's a strong female character who battles zombies and the evil Umbrella Corporation.

Definitely Freddy Krueger. His ability to enter people's dreams and kill them there is what makes him stand out. It's a concept that really plays on people's fears of the vulnerability of sleep. Michael Myers is also iconic. His silent, stalking nature and his indestructibility in the early movies made him a horror icon. He just keeps coming no matter what, which is really scary.

One of the most iconic characters is Dracula. He is the quintessential vampire, with his pale skin, fangs, and thirst for blood. Another is Frankenstein's monster, a patchwork of body parts brought to life in a macabre experiment. And then there's the Phantom of the Opera, a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of the opera house.

Aragorn from 'The Lord of the Rings' can be considered one. He has to deal with the political aspects of uniting different kingdoms against Sauron. Also, Tyrion Lannister from 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. He is constantly involved in the political games of Westeros, using his wits despite his family's prejudice against him.

Well, Edmond Dantes from 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is an iconic character in a fictional betrayal story. He is betrayed by his so - called friends, who frame him and send him to prison unjustly. His journey then becomes about getting revenge on those who betrayed him. Also, in 'Hamlet', Claudius is an iconic character of betrayal. He betrays his brother, King Hamlet, by murdering him and then marrying his widow, Gertrude, which sets off the chain of tragic events in the play.

Leatherface from 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is an iconic villain. His use of a chainsaw and his deranged family's actions create a lot of the splatter horror. Freddy Krueger from 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' is also iconic. He kills his victims in their dreams in very gory ways. Jason Voorhees from 'Friday the 13th' is another one. He just keeps coming back and slaughtering people in bloody fashion.

Al Capone is an iconic character. He was a real - life mobster who has been fictionalized in many stories. His power and ruthlessness made him a memorable figure.

Well, there's Mad Max from the post - apocalyptic fantasy world. He has been wronged in so many ways, and his actions can be seen as a form of revenge against those who have taken away his peace and normal life. In the world of Japanese anime - like fantasy, there's Guts from 'Berserk'. His life is full of tragedies and he is on a path of revenge against the forces that have brought him so much pain. He battles demons and all sorts of evil in a very brutal way. And in some classic European - inspired fantasy, we might consider the character of Robin Hood. While his main story is about stealing from the rich to give to the poor, there are also elements of revenge against the corrupt nobles who have oppressed the common people.

The cowboy is an iconic character. He's tough, rides horses well, and is often good with a gun. Another is the sheriff. He's the one who keeps law and order in town. And the outlaw, like Jesse James, is also very well - known, representing the lawless side of the old west.
