Forget fictional boogeymen – real history has produced monsters far more terrifying. Join us as we count down our picks for the creepiest historical figures who make horror villains look tame! Our countdown includes Rasputin, Josef Mengele, Delphine LaLaurie and more! Which historical figure gives you the most nightmares? Let us know in the comments! From Blackbeard who turned himself into a living smoke monster to terrify his victims, to Vlad the Impaler who created forests of impaled bodies, these figures weren’t just evil – they were masters of psychological horror. Even Josef Stalin didn’t just kill enemies – he erased them from existence, creating a atmosphere of dread few horror movies could replicate.
