15 Most Unlikely Horror Movie Villains

Death Spa is about as 80s a film as you’re ever likely to see should the misfortune befall you. Replete with legwarmers, big hair and impossibly skimpy leotards it’s practically the cinematic equivalent of shoulder pads.

It follows hapless widower and gym owner Michael as he comes under suspicion after the yuppies that frequent his trendy, state-of-the-art Los Angeles health club fall victim to a series of grisly but hilarious accidents involving the spa’s equipment like saunas and sunbeds that try to burn patrons alive, a butterfly press that butchers a guy by ripping his torso apart and a smoothie blender powerful enough to dismember a woman.
