10 Movies Where The Villain Was Dead All Along

10. Trevor Gooden - Hellraiser: Hellseeker

Hellraiser: Hellseeker - the sixth entry into the not-so-illustrious horror franchise - revolves around Trevor Gooden (Dean Winters), a man who is involved in a car accident at the beginning of the movie, and wakes up in hospital a month later.

Hellseeker's ending offers up a double-whammy of surprises, because not only does it reveal that Trevor is actually a Very Bad Guy, but also that he's been dead since the start of the movie.

The climactic twist is that Trevor was killed by his wife, the series' human protagonist Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence), who shot him while he was driving and made it look like a suicide, in revenge for him cheating on and plotting to kill her.

Trevor's distorted grasp on reality throughout the film has actually been a result of him residing in Hell, where he's been forced to pore back over his sinful past. 

At the end, his soul becomes the property of Pinhead (Doug Bradley) while Kirsty scores a clean getaway. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
