6 Genuinely Terrifying Disney Villains

Disney does not f*ck around when it comes to its villains. They want the bad guys to look, act, and be evil. They want to send the kids home clearly knowing that the good guys wore white and the bad guys wore black.

Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians

I will admit, it was hard coming up with a final entry for this list, only because there are SO many great and terrifying Disney villains. Lotso Bear almost made it. Shan-Yu from Mulan almost made it (solely because of his eyes), and even that dude from Tarzan who got his neck broken almost made it. But I had to give it to the queen of cruel. The mistress of mean. The empress in a puppy dress: Cruella De Vil.

From the jutting, jagged cheekbones, to the gray color of her skin, she just always felt palpably real (even as a cartoon character). Yes, Glenn Close did the character justice, for sure, but something about the animated version just always scared the crap out of me. A woman who wants to obtain puppies so she can wear their skin sounds more Sam Raimi than Disney, but that is just what is at the heart of this classic movie. A woman who wants to wear the skin of dead puppies. When you are a kid, and you think about that, it just messes your brain all up.

Plus, that black and white hair just struck a chord of terror in me for some reason. Like even her genes knew she was bipolar. I look at her now and imagine that Cruella De Vil is just Kim Kardashian in 30 years.

*Shudders*

So, who did I miss? Hit me up in the comments and let me know which Disney character SCAR’d you for life. See what I did there?

Sorry about that.
