   Everyone seems to remember the bad guys, but everyone forgets the guy guys.
   
   Could it be that the brain processes bad/evil in a way that makes it more memorizable? Or could it just be that we spend more time thinking about the bad guys?

   Yup.
   
   Good experiences are fun and all that but the bad ones can kill you. It's an evolutionary thing.

   Cuz they are dead. Don't have feelings & have a lack of regard for others.
