10 Exact Moments We Knew Horror Movie Characters Were Doomed To Die

10. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - Eric Pretends To Be Dean

Out of eight movies about a cannibalistic family chainsawing and eating their way through countless victims, it's perhaps prequel The Beginning that's the franchise's most brutal, nastiest entry.

This prequel to the remake shows us how Leatherface came to be the iconic killer fans love him as, chronicling the first set of victims taken in by him and the murderous Hewitt family.

Among these are brothers Eric and Dean, who are actually on their way to enlist in the Vietnam War. Eric is gun-ho about re-enlisting, but the younger Dean is apprehensive, and actually planning on dodging the draft by burning his draft card.

This turns out to have unforeseen consequences when the group is hounded by fake sheriff and head of the Hewitt family, Hoyt. Not pleased with the idea of someone trying to dodge the draft, he demands to know which of the men is the "coward". Wanting to help his little brother, Eric takes the blame.

This, unsurprisingly turns out to be a huge mistake. With the subtly of a sledgehammer, Hoyt makes it clear that if the boys are lying he's not going to be happy. Of course, he eventually does find out the truth, and Dean suffers just about the worst death in the whole movie.
