10 Horror Movie Deaths That Pissed Off Fans

10. Laurie Strode - Halloween Series

When it comes to discussing fans being pissed off by Laurie Strode's death in the Halloween franchise, there's only one question to ask:

Which one do you mean?

This franchise has been rebooted and soft rebooted so many times now that Laure Strode has actually died twice in canon (though this timeline was eliminated with 2018's legacy sequel), and both of them were extremely disappointing ends for the iconic scream queen.

After deciding to call it quits following the second movie, actress Jamie Lee Curtis refused to return for the next Michael Myers-starring instalment, Halloween 4. As a result, it's explained that Laurie died in a random car crash. That's it, that's all you get. What an insulting and seemingly nasty way to kill a character between movies that everyone loved.

Of course, this was eventually retconned when Laurie returned to the franchise for Halloween H20 but it wasn't long before she was killed yet again in the opening of Halloween Resurrection. Here, Michael tracks her down to a mental hospital and, in an extremely dumb moment, Laurie allows her then-brother to get the upper hand and kill her before the first act even really kicks into gear.

Fortunately, all of this has been retconned again with Halloween and Halloween Kills, and let's hope that if she doesn't make it through trilogy-capper Halloween Ends she'll at least get to die with dignity this time.
