The most evil sounding names in fantasy, science-fiction and horror

[Zsinj]

I didn't really know in what genre to put this, since it encompassed all the genres on the board, so I decided to put it in general discussion.
There's a lot of truly sinister-sounding names for villains in the fantasy, science-fiction and horror genres of novels and movies, and I thought just for fun. we would list the ones that we thought the most sinister, and beside them, put what novel/movie they're from. And mythology can count too. Here's my list:

Sauron: "The LOTR Saga" by J.R.R. Tolkien
Morgoth: "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien
Gothmog: "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien
Cacaroth: "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien
Dracula: "Dracula" by Bram Stoker
Cthulu: "The Cthulu Mythos" by H.P. Lovecraft
Lord Soth: "The Dragonlance Saga" by Weis and Hickman
Jormungand: Norse Mythology
Nyrrdhaeg (sp?) Norse Mythology
Arioch: "The Elric Saga" by Michael Moorcock
Baron Sarosto: "The Elric Saga" by Michael Moorcock

Isn't the major villain in the Thomas Covenant series named Lord Foul? That's pretty evil-sounding.

I always thought Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, sounded more evil than Cthulhu.

I've always thought some of Jordan's names for the forsaken were pretty sinister sounding. Asmodean and Graendal, for example, but especially Semirhage.

I do realize, of course, that some of those names aren't exactly Jordan's creation, but they sound sinister all the same.

I don't know about a Lord Drool, but I think there was a Drool Rockworm. Loved that name. :)

Drool Rockworm called himself Lord Drool after he got the Staff of Something, if I recall vaguely.
