Tickets are going fast, my friends, for the 2024 Knifepoint Horror Villain Playoffs, the data tool that will reveal what the people want in their evil beings! It's up to Patreon supporters alone to determine, across 4 voting rounds PLUS a brutal one-villain-left-alive vote-off, the Best KH Villain of Them All. I’ve selected 24 likely candidates, and the winner of each group of 6 will advance to that tense final showdown. Upcoming posts will see the next rounds of the competition, and this summer someone or some thing will be able to hold up the bloody trophy and proudly proclaim, “Um, what do I get for this exactly…?”

For Round 1, I’ve selected a group of true underdogs for the throne—low-seeded villains who nevertheless dream of getting their shot at the title. “Had we just been written better,” they seem to cry out, “we could have been so much more…” Cast your vote for the one you think should advance to the finals!
