ten unexpected deaths in horror movies
[Music]
that means we're looking at more deaths
from the horror genre that took
audiences by surprise or subverted
expectations if you don't see a deaf you
think should be on here be sure to check
out our original list of unexpected
horror movie deaths also since we will
be discussing some pretty major plot
points a spoiler alert is now in effect
alright let's get to the list number 10
Randy Meeks scream - okay let's be
honest we all expected Randy Meeks to
fight the big one by the end of the
first green film I probably should be I
never thought I'd be so happy to be a
virgin this character played by Jamie
Kennedy was built up as being a horror
movie aficionado and so because irony we
thought that he was dude for sure Wes
Craven's creation was all about
subverting expectations however so when
Randy survived the first film we thought
he might be a serious fixture going
forward alas this was not to be Meeks
was slaughtered by ghosts basing gales
news van with the entire ordeal being
caught on tape it's a shocking and
brutal scene that genuinely caught us
off guard Oh Jay

number nine Rory Adams life derivative
of alien or not this underrated 2017
film did a great job of baiting and
switching its audience both with its
downer ending and the high body count
Ryan Reynolds Rory Adams was front and
center throughout much of the film's
marketing yet his character is the first
to die and in spectacularly gory fashion
no less the newly discovered alien
organism enters Rory's mouth and goes to
town feasting on his insides before
breaking out bigger and badder we're not
really used to seeing a star of Reynolds
caliber go out like this
but we got to admit it paints a
memorable mental picture number eight
Sue Snell the rage Carrie - this is
another horror movie character who
survived the first film only to die in
the sequel although in Snell's case it
took 20 plus years for her number to
come up night of the prom 73 people died
the rage was a 1999 follow-up to Brian
De Palma's classic adaptation of the
Stephen King story and featured a
grown-up Sue Snell in her new role as a
high school guidance counselor she
realizes the potential danger in Rachael
leg a student who seems to possess the
same telekinetic powers as Carrie White
last night I took a look at your file
your mom is it Arkham for schizophrenia
how's she doing she's gonna be fine she
might not be the protagonist but Susie
is central to the film's plot so when
she's killed as a result of Lang's
burgeoning rage the sense of shock and
loss is very real
number seven Jenna Montgomery Friday the
13th the world of horror cinema is
populated by many different archetypes
including the final girl
this is usually an intelligent capable
female lead who serves as the heroine
and usually our lone survivor the Friday
the 13th franchise is no exception to
this rule having introduced various
memorable final girls over the years
Jena Montgomery is something of an
anomaly however in that she's set up for
a large part of the 2009 franchise
reboot film as the lead do you want to
come in for a second grab a drink only
to be killed by Jason Voorhees at the
film's climax it honestly comes out of
nowhere for better or worse
leaving clay miller and his sister
Whitney as the film's only survivors
number 6
Gary Jenner Jeepers Creepers the final
girl trope in horror films may be well
established but the idea of a final guy
never really gained as much steam within
the genre male characters in horror
films never seem truly safe and rarely
have we received a more stinging
reminder than with the demise of derry
Jenner one of the two leads and Victor
Salvas controversial Jeepers Creepers
franchise we invest a lot of time
following Gary and its sister Trish
around
[Music]
and despite our horror-movie
conditioning we even get attached
because of this connection we expect to
see them both come out on top against
the creeper
[Music]
but Justin Long's character ends up
abducted maimed and killed in the
monsters lair
number five Nancy Thompson a Nightmare
on Elm Street 3 dream warriors remember
how we mentioned earlier that Wes Craven
loved to subvert the expectations of
horror fans consider this another great
example dream warriors is a fan favorite
sequel to Cravens 1984 classic a film
that already shocked audiences with its
killing of Tina gray and Glenn Lantz
Heather Langenkamp heroic Nancy Thompson
returns here as a hospital intern who
helps Kristen Parker and the Elm Street
kids face off against Freddy Krueger
[Music]
although Nancy and her new friends
succeed in defeating Freddy she suffers
fatal wounds in the battle and we see
her somber funeral shortly before the
film's conclusion people pour out your
hearts to him for God is our refuge hear
my cry O God listen to my prayer number
for Robert thorn P omen who says that
good always has to triumph over evil
well what about this in Revelations it
says he shall rise from the eternal sea
fans of the omen franchise know that
Damien thorn usually gets the upper hand
against those who seek to destroy the
spawn of the devil this idea is hammered
home quite effectively in the first film
from 1976 which follows Damian's adopted
father Robert as he discovers the truth
behind a satanic son in the film's
climax
Robert is poised to make the ultimate
sacrifice as he prostrates Damian on a
church altar ceremonial dagger raised
high to murder the boy he now knows to
be the Antichrist the police intervened
before Robert can finish the deed
however fatally shooting him down this
leaves Damian free to return older and
wiser for future omen sequels
[Music]
number three Billy Drayton the mist the
death of children in film is something
that needs to be handled very carefully
there's no denying the shock value when
such an instance occurs however as
evidenced by the gut-punch ending to
Stephen King's the mist there's
something in the master took John Lee
get into my car
Billy Drayton actually survives Kings
original story but this 2007 adaptation
instead places the young boy his father
David and others in a situation where
David is forced to make an ultimately
tragic decision he chooses to mercy kill
his son and everyone in the car before
the mist creatures attack intending to
let the creatures finish him after David
commits the heartbreaking act however
the mist recedes to reveal that rescuers
have arrived and that his son needn't
have died
[Music]
number two dick Halloran the shining
dick Halloran is another famous example
of a Stephen King character suffering a
very different fate on screen than he
did on the printed page it's no secret
by now that king himself disliked
Stanley Kubrick's in 1980 adaptation of
The Shining with the fate of Halloran's
character being just one of the changes
that the director undertook during
filming much is made on screen of dicks
contact with Danny Torrance and his
journey to rescue him from his father in
the Overlook Hotel in the novel dick
succeeds and ends up being a character
mentioned in other King stories such as
it and insomnia
Kubrick however gives Scatman Crothers
Halloran an ignoble end at the blade of
Jack Torrance's axe
[Music]
[Applause]
I gotta tell you I read The Shining
before I saw the movie and when that
death happened I was mighty surprised
but I guess that is how you leave your
own mark on a pretty iconic piece of pop
culture anyway
however we were all surprised when we
found out our number one pick ax died so
let's look through the memorial that is
our honorable mentions and then we'll
see who that is well not let this plain
crust be the most important thing in my
life
max okay

crow The Sixth Sense many movie fans
were floored by the ending of M night
Shyamalan s breakout 2001 film the sixth
sense in which it's revealed that the
protagonist dr. Malcolm Crowe was
actually dead the entire time
did people like in graves and coffins
the reason it works so well is because
of the care that went into depicting
Bruce Willis's character as a central
part of the narrative we have every
reason to believe that crow survived the
attack from his former patient and so we
never doubt his status as living even as
he tries to help a young boy who claims
to see dead people the sixth sense is so
good at filtering Crowe into his
surroundings
that even upon repeat viewings you can't
help but get lost in the story what is
it honestly I remember the first time I
saw the sixth sense and I could not
function for the rest of the day because
I was so shocked anyway what about you
