10 Horror Movie Deaths Not Even The Actors Saw Coming

10. Hicks (Alien 3)

It's widely-accepted that killing off Hicks in such an unceremonious manner was a bone-headed move, but let's spare a thought for poor Michael Biehn, who wasn't even told that his character was going to be offed.

In fact, Biehn wasn't involved in Alien 3 in any capacity. He wasn't even consulted, or given the courtesy of a phone call. He first heard about Hicks' death from a friend, who had recently visited Pinewood Studios and had seen a face cast of Biehn - complete with burns and a chest wound - that the Alien 3 production intended to use in the movie.

Upon learning this information, Biehn told the studio that they couldn't use his image without his permission, which prompted director David Fincher to contact Biehn and plead with him. Biehn's response? “F**k you for not putting me in the movie.”

Unsurprisingly, that did little to change the filmmakers' minds, and Hicks was killed off in the opening minutes of the movie.
