10 Horror Movie Survivors Killed Off In The Sequel

10. Jack Forrest - Maniac Cop 2

As the title suggests, William Lustig's slasher centres around a serial-killing police officer called Matt Cordell. When a patrolman called Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell) becomes the prime suspect for the murders, he has no choice but to track down the psychotic cop himself to clear his name. 

Despite Cordell's apparent death during the final showdown, he returned in the sequel as a zombie, more powerful than ever. When he resumes his killing streak, Jack dismisses reports, certain that Cordell is gone for good.

Sadly, he's proven wrong in the worst way possible in Maniac Cop 2. While Jack reads a news story about how he saved the city from Cordell's tyranny, the maniac cop fatally stabs him from behind. Since Jack was depicted as a smart, intuitive, and resourceful person, it was surprising to see him being taken out of the picture so early on.

But another reason why Jack's death was shocking was the fact he was played by Bruce Campbell. Since the Evil Dead star has a rep for portraying undead-killing heroes, nobody expected him to check out in the first 20 minutes.
