Are we going for the best (worst?) bad guy or the one you liked (hated?) the most? Ah well.
My personal favourite would have to be the Barrow-Wight. I even gave a tune to his song, and memorized passages from his chapter. Gollum and Shelob are close. Let's face it: Sauron doesn't do much in the books, Saruman is reduced to practically nothing before he dies. The Barrow-wight was very tanigible, very real and he scared me half to death (forgive the pun...) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
