Why do you think even after zillions of horror movies made till now..."The Shining" with Kubrick and Nicholson still holds no.1 spot in many people's top 10 horror movies of all time...
Jack Torrance was a human right...a human driven by his own passions, desires and a will to succeed in the one chance that his failed life had given him...he was no Freddy, Jason, Michael, Pinhead, Creeper...but still he is regarded as the best damn villian of all time...
go figure...

the best human villian is certainly someone with some depth, not these 2 dimentional assholes who are 100% unlikeable - no charisma, no personality. That is the most boring idiotic villian possible.
Give me a guy who is funny, intelligent, but maniacle ...someone you'd normally like if they weren't consumed by evil ... now thats an effective villian.
for supernatural killers i like a cool looking monster ..slimy gross violent 'unstoppable' creature. Not a giant animal monster .. but something genuinely not of this earth .. so you get some good creature FX and some excellent gore ..
(The Relic, The Thing, etc)
