This rant brought to you by Matt Boyd linking to this Dr. Horrible bloke.
What makes a good evil laugh? There's this powerful stereotype of the Hollywood villianous guffaw, or the Japanese Kefka laugh (Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo), or the occasional evil cackle, but none of them really inspire terror. I mean, Kefka kind of doees but for other reasons. Really, the best evil laugh sounds more or less like a normal one, maybe even just a subdued chuckle. It's mostly an issue of what causes it.
Bystander: "You just fired a rocket full of kittens undergoing chemotherapy into a candy factory!"
Evil madman: *chuckle*
Now that is a terrifying evil laugh, i don't fucking care what hollywood says.
