10 Horror Movie Deaths You Were Totally Rooting For

10. The School Bullies - Carrie

This first entry is pretty self explanatory. Not only is the story of Carrie so well known at this point, but it also follows all the classic beats of a woman scorned story.

If you’ve ever been bullied, you have at some point wished for them to get their comeuppance. And while hopefully you don’t mean death by that, that is the beauty of film! These people aren’t real, and so you can relish in the deaths of these caricatures… right?

And when you think of a typical school bully, you probably think of the bully archetype that the movie Carrie made popular. Pretty, cool, popular girls that are dating beautiful men and look down on the rest of their peers.

Carrie is one of these vulnerable peers. She’s quiet and strange looking, her mum is a devout Christian who is infamous in the town as being crazy, and she’s completely sheltered from the experience her schoolmates are going though. So when Carrie starts her period in the middle of a school day, with no idea of what’s happening, the school bullies are immediately enthusiastic about ridiculing the girl for her naivety.

Little did the bullies know that that day would be the start of Carrie’s telekinetic powers.

But Carrie doesn’t use her powers to make them pay… yet.

It is not until the night of her prom, on stage in front of her entire year, covered in pig's blood, that it's finally time to make those bullies pay. And boy do they pay.
