We've all seen films where the hubby is an abusive and terrifying figure from which the wife aka damsel in distress must free herself.

Which movie husband had you trembling or at least made you want to throw a pot of hot grits at him.

I've got these guys in a 3-way tie.

Patrick Bergman from SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMEY

Larry Fishburn's portrayal of Ike Turner in WLGTDWI was pretty scary but everything would have been fine if she just ate that cake.

The redneck father of Michael Myers in the remake of "Halloween". I was actually rooting for Michael Myers when he killed him.

I've never even seen that movie. Did he kill the wife too?

Speaking of rednecks, I give honorable mention to the batterer in Too Wong Foo. You just can't pop Rizzo in the eye like that. Bad man!

No, she wasn't at home. She was at work that night stripping in a strip club.

"IT'S JAAAA-AAACK!!!"

Ole Ike Turner didn't have shit on him! I still don't think she should have burned his ass up in that bed though. She should have cut his dick off and wore it dangling from her earring like Rick James used to wear a roach clip.

Michael Douglas...in A Perfect Murder.

He scared the crap outta me!

That dude was seriously fucked up-you're right Ike didn't have shit on him But Nah torching his ass was the only way

I used to get scared of Dan in Roseanne when Darlene came in late or whatever.
