Our work has as study object the construction of the type-character of the Villain, in Horror Movies. For our analysis, were chosen the following movies: Das Cabinet Des Dr. Caligari (1920), by Robert Wiene; The Phantom of The Opera (1925), by Rupert Julian; Mystery of The Wax Museum (1933), by Michael Curtiz; The House on Haunted Hill (1959), by William Castle. The theorical sustention is made, having as basis the a priori categories: Cinema , by Edgar Morin; Archetype , by Carl Gustav Jung; Imaginary , by Michel Maffesoli; Stereotype , by Ruth Amossy and Anne Pierrot; Horror , by Noël Carroll. The Method used is the Complexity Paradigm, proposed by Edgar Morin, and our technique of analysis is the Film Analysis, proposed by Francis Vanoye and Anne Goliot-Lété. In our study, we have found characteristics that may be recurrent on the analyzed characters. Thanks to the analysis, is evident to us that, in Horror movies, the Villain are the personification of metaphors, which represent our deepest fears, or incarnations of our desires and fantasies. We can also detach the duality, or ambiguity of the characters, as proof that none Villain brings, in itself, the personification of pure evil. Similarly evident were the motivations of the characters, which are the result of internal and subjective questions, and outward actions suffered by these characters; also the characteristics that, although present in characters of Horror Movies, in the same way are present in Villains of movies belonging to any and all Genres. These characteristics are recurrent and immutable, because they are part of the deposit of references and the cultural baggage. Furthermore, our study about Horror, as cinematographic Genre showed the moralist and conservative character present in the narratives of the movies belonging to this Genre, that aim to Always show to the spectator that such world where the characters live, before the arrival of the Villain, is the ideal world, and that the order and harmony must be re-established
