Top 5 Cult Leaders in Horror Films You Probably Haven't Seen Yet Honorable Mention

That being the case we decided it is about time to expose the rest of the world to the Top 5 (plus honorable mention) horror films that have featured a cult leader you probably haven't met yet. Making this list was extremely difficult given how many films we have to choose from but we stand by these 6. All of them have something in common, they are twisted and mimic real life cult leaders. At least one takes you behind the scenes and exposes the charlatains for what they really are, scam artists. Please join us for the next few weeks as we discuss the Top 5 Cult Leaders in Horror Films You Probably Haven't Seen Yet.

Honorable Mention
Steve Railsback as Charles Manson in 'Helter Skelter' (1976 TV Movie)

Whenever anyone brings up the subject of serial killing cults the first name likely to pop up in discussion is Charles Manson. This TV mini-series relives everything from the Tate murders to the court room. The man tasked with making Manson realistic and scary as hell is Steve Railsback. He looks and plays the Manson Family patriarch with no shame, undoubtedly making the real Manson proud and a force that needs to be dealt with.
