All the villians I listed have been correctly identified. Thanks all for playing. I just remembered **Count Olaf** from Lemony Snicket’s ASOUE. Was he one of the OP’s villians? \*\*Tengu \*\* - I have no clue… I feel like I should know “Laughing Man” but I just can’t remember. **labtrash** - Just that 1. The rest have me stumped. **kytheria** - Leonard Snart sounds soooo familiar, but it’s still just a tickle. ---

Billy Lumis sounds like you mean **W** illy L **oo** mis from “Dark Shadows.” Randal Flagg was from “the Stand.” Bill Sykes was a hoodlum in “Oliver Twist.” Diana is from “V.” Daryl Van Horne was in “the Witches of Eastwicke.” Wasn’t Richie Aprile a gangster in “the Sopranos”? (I’m guessing about that one.) I’ll toss out some more: Mildred Ratched Cassandra Blair Jason Wyngarde Marco Dane Selina Kyle Holland Manners Frank Cotton ---

Artemis Entreri - From RL Salvatore’s Dark Elf novels. He’s an enemy of Drizzt Do’urden and hangs around with Jarlaxle Baenre. Who he’s honestly not terribly friendly with, either, actually. Laughing Man and Knives are both correct, of course. ---

[QUOTE=DellieM] In light of “name that ship” post - my SO and I want you to name where these villians stem from: (spelling could be dodgy!) :smack: All from our video library.\*\* Books to follow!\*\* [/QUOTE] Good thing about the bolded, since I just realized that I carried over the"fictional" part from the other threads and missed the “movie/show” part. Except for Mad Pierrot none of mine are from those; they are book/game villains, mostly book. Sorry. ---
