What Classic Slasher Horror Villain Are You Based On Your Zodiac?

Admit it: Leatherface is a total Cancer.

Norman Bates from Psycho (1960) has the split personality of a Gemini.

Ever wondered what kind of energy you give off, but in a creepy way? Look for your zodiac sign below to find out what slasher horror villain totally matches your aura.

Aries – Chucky

Chucky is a bad guy that looks harmless on the surface.

Hot-headed with a tendency to overemphasize their power, Chucky is a dead-ringer for an Aries. Chucky is quick to anger, can be unpredictable, and has absolutely zero filter. Some say that Aries are children at heart, which makes sense that Chucky is a serial killer trapped in a doll’s body. Like an Aries, Chucky has tons of energy and can’t be stopped if you cross him. 

Taurus – Jason Voorhees

Jason is ruthless.

Taurus’ are known to be stubborn, hard-working, and have a deep sense of loving and wanting to be loved. Jason Voorhees is a total mama’s boy and goes on his murderous rampage for the sake of his mother being killed. Jason doesn’t give up, no matter how slowly he walks or gets beaten up. He is focused on the task and refuses to be stopped. 

Gemini – Norman Bates

There’s two sides to this serial killer.

Geminis are known to be twins, having two differing personalities and sometimes two faces. Norman Bates gives off Gemini energy and the duality that encompasses them. On one hand, he is the doting and sensitive son, and on the other, he is the murderous villain who dresses up as his mother after killing her. 

Cancer – Leatherface

Leatherface is a softie on the inside.

Cancer signs are known to be sensitive beings and deeply devoted to their loved ones. They are introverts who like to go into their shell when they need a break. Hiding behind other people’s faces and behind what his family wants him to do, Leatherface is the ultimate Cancer. He just wants to love and be loved, and is even willing to saw people in half to get that love.

Leo – Pennywise

Tim Curry is the original incarnation of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The star of the show, Leo, is enigmatic and a performer at heart, which makes Pennywise the epitome of one. Everything he does is for the bit, and when he doesn’t get attention from the children in Derry, he literally dies. That’s such Leo energy. Being a clown and performer in a past life is also too fitting.

Virgo – Jigsaw

Only a Virgo could plan such elaborate “games”.

Focused on perfectionism and being right all the time, Jigsaw is a total Virgo. He spends too much time working on his Saw traps to be engineered perfectly to provide the ultimate kill. He decides who dies based on who he thinks is bad and forces the person to choose the “right” thing or die trying. Most Virgos feel they are always in the right, and Jigsaw thinks he always is.

Libra – Pinhead

Doug Bradley stars in Hellraiser (1987) as Pinhead.

Pinhead can clearly communicate their thoughts and feelings, and he has a taste for the exquisite things in life like a Libra does. Libras want to be surrounded by beauty and love, and Pinhead is just searching for that to be fulfilled. Pinhead emphasizes right and wrong and punishes those who don’t follow the rules. 

Scorpio – Freddy Krueger

Freddy has a flair for drama.

Scorpios are known to be manipulative, passionate, and devious people. Freddy Krueger is exactly that and is unrelenting in pursuing who or what he wants. He wants to control the setting and environment around him and only attacks on his turf where he knows he can win. He is also determined to be the center of attention and never seems to need a break to sleep. Such a Scorpio!

Sagttarius – Ghostface

Ghostface is a good talker.

Charming, charismatic, and energetic, Ghostface embodies being a Sagittarius. All of the Ghostface killers can trick and fool their friends and family into thinking they’re the good guys. Like a Sagittarius, Ghostface is hyper-confident and can be messy, causing chaos wherever they go. They love to have a good chat before terrorizing their victims too, which is such a Sagittarius move. 

Capricorn – Patrick Bateman

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (2000).

Patrick Bateman comes across as very calm, cool, and collected. He is focused on appearing well-put together and has the fancier things in life. Patrick is a Capricorn, as his reputation and the facade he puts up towards his coworkers and friends are important to him. Capricorns are also known to be financially stable, and that sense of high class is incredibly important to Patrick. 

Aquarius – Michael Myers

Aquarius is the strong, silent type.

Aquarians like to be alone and want to run away from any type of emotional expression. Michael Myers is definitely an Aquarius. He lives life in solitary and tends to be a little aloof. He shows zero expression and is so silent that he is sometimes referred to as “The Shape”, proving Aquarius’ enigma status. 

Pisces – Samara 

Samara wants everyone to feel what she felt.

Pisces thrives on emotions and getting others to be vulnerable and express themselves. Samara is a martyr, but all she wants people to do is feel the pain she had to experience. Pisces is known for complex thoughts and emotions, and Samara checks those boxes. Plus, it is very fitting that her demise included water since the Pisces sign is a fish.
