* In ''Film/{{Dune|2021}}'' and ''Film/DunePartTwo'', House Harkonnen is mostly made of pale, bald, greedy and ruthless men (especially their leadership, Baron Vladimir and his nephews Glossu-Rabban and Feyd-Rautha). When they were in charge of the extraction of Spice on Arrakis/Dune, they mistreated or killed the Fremen. When they handed power over to House Atreides, they betrayed them and, with support from the Corrino Empire's elite troops, nearly killed them all.
* [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]] is also bald (even as he was a child), though ''Film/FridayThe13thPart2'' has him with long, unkempt hair and ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' features long-yet-thin strands of hair in the back of Jason's head.

* Several orcs in Creator/PeterJackson[='s=] ''Film/TheHobbit'' and ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' movie universe have completely bald scalps. Two major examples from the ''Hobbit'' films are Azog the Defiler, and his son Bolg (slightly downplayed in that Bolg retains some hair strands).

* Ivan the Terrible (or Ivan of Russia, in the Japanese version) from ''Manga/GiantRobo: The Day The Earth Stood Still'' is bald, though he's not the most nefarious of the evil group he's a part of, even though he may be one of the biggest nutcases in the entire anime.
