Looking for a Very Evil sounding synthesizer

Hello, I am looking for a synth to make a pretty serious album. Which synthesizer out there on the market has the most evil sounds and programming and presets?

Hardware? Access Virus, or pretty much any Access synth. I have the Indigo 2 and it's a beast.

Software-wise, there are tons. Rob Papen's Albino 3 is pretty gnarly. Sports 4 oscillators, 4 independent LFOs, 2 filters (with cream and scream as well) and 4 modes of saturation, all your standard effects, modulation matrix, and an arpeggio. The presets aren't anything to brag about, but you can make some sinful sounds on it relatively easy if you know basic synthesis concepts.

Price-wise, you're better off with the software synth and a midi keyboard.

Matters what kind of creepy. Most all have a decent church organ preset, if you pay anything over 300 bucks. If you can put that down a couple of octaves, and play the low notes you get something that is very VERY damn creepy.
