10 Horror Movie Characters Who Got Off Too Easy

10. Edwidge Owens - The Purge: Election Year

One of the primary villains in the third Purge film is Edwidge Owens (Kyle Secor), a minister and Presidential candidate for far-right political party The New Founding Fathers of America.

Even for the low standards of the NFFA's racist, hateful membership, Owens is a real piece of work alright, not only plotting to have his political rival Charlene Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell) assassinated, but annually holding a grim midnight mass on Purge Night where he sacrificially slaughters innocents.

He's a maniacal religious zealot, and so it sure as hell seemed like he was going to get his brutal comeuppance at film's end. But eh, not really. Though most of Owens' congregation are killed in Election Year's climax, Owens himself is spared when Roan insists that he stay alive so she can beat him in an election. How noble.

And while that's ultimately what happens, with Roan winning the election in a landslide, Owens never sees any tangible, physical punishment for his many crimes, and hasn't been seen in the series since.
