1 Chucky (Brad Dourif), Child's Play
He may be just a doll, but this redhead terror can wield a plastic knife like nobody's business. 83 177
2 The Oompa Loompas, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
The green hair, the weird orange skin -- anyone who's seen the original version has probably had nightmares about these little guys. 36 164
3 Leprechaun (Warwick Davis), Leprechaun
This repeat offender -- immortalized in no fewer than six movies -- wears green suits and funky shoes and sports a red beard. 24 142
4 Penguin (Danny DeVito), Batman Returns
It may seem mean to lump DeVito in with such a crew, but anyone who's seen this movie will recall he was diabolical in the role. 14 156
5 Zombie Dwarfs, Phantasm
These undersize, alarmingly fast cats aren't that efficient at killing people, but they sure know how to bring the terror. -8 112
6 Midget Zombies, The Return of the Living Dead
Zombies are scary. Child zombies? Scarier. Little-people zombies? Scariest. -10 108
7 The Living Torso (Prince Randian), Freaks
The Living Torso is a real player in this early horror flick, about sideshow performers. -25 107
8 Belial, Basket Case
Technically, he's only half a person, but he's definitely height challenged. -32 98
9 Troll (Phil Fondacaro), Troll
Fondacaro busted out some serious whoop in this 1986 flick. -37 103
10 Midget, Trapped in the Closet
This little person may not have a huge role in R. Kelly's magnum opus, but it's a pivotal one, to say the least. -48 90
