Trivia: Ed Gein was the inspiration for not just Leatherface, but Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter as well.

More trivia: prior to his turn as Norman Bates, Anthony Perkins was a "Tiger Beat" heartthrob, or its generational equivalent.

Yet more trivia: Damien's smile at the very end of The Omen wasn't scripted. Richard Donner directed Harvey Stephens to "look really mean," but the kid couldn't keep a straight face; Donner thought the smile made him look more evil and kept it in the flick.

I would dispute only one choice: that the alien in Alien was the movie's villain. I think the real villain is the corporation that deemed the crew of the Nostromo "expendable," for the sake of scientific discovery, and probably for military benefit.
