10 Coolest Weapons Used In Horror Movies

10. Freddy Krueger’s Claw Glove - The Nightmare On Elmstreet Franchise

We can’t overlook the classics on this list, and whilst most iconic slasher weapons don’t quite meet the coolness requirements here (Scream’s knives, Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s chainsaw - they’re not very inspiring, let’s be real), one that absolutely does is Krueger’s famous gloves.

Knives aren’t original at all, they’re very boring indeed; attach those knives to some hokey-looking gloves, however, and you’re onto a winner! His signature weapon has become one of the most widely-recognisable in horror history, going on to inspire countless knock-offs and respectful nods across the genre.

Hand-to-hand combat has good potential for cool-looking fights, and this is even truer when the hands in question are clad with blades. In most cases the fights don’t last too long and are anything but fair, but we’d be lying if we say we didn’t enjoy them.
