When you think of evil what's an image from cinema that pops into your head?

I would say any shot of Henry Fonda in "Once Upon A Time In The West" (the dude was terrifying). If I had to narrow it down I'd pick the shot of Frank (Fonda), staring up at Harmonica's brother, whose neck is in a noose. Those eyes of Frank's as he's doing this -- cold, dead, dancing with amusement -- are the stuff of nightmares. I'm not a religious person but if the Devil does exist I'd imagine Frank in that moment is how he would look.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List

Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange

There are a few that come to mind:

Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs
Samara Morgan from The Ring
Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street
Pinhead from Hellraiser
Pennywise from It

(I really need to learn to limit my answers, haha.)

Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men, especially in that scene where he's torturing that poor innocent store clerk!
He was EVIL INCARNATE!

That guy who played the store clerk was equally as excellent as Bardem in that scene.

Yes he was. Good point.

Yes ! A nondescript everyman, expertly depicted.
