10 Off-Screen Horror Movie Deaths That Will Haunt You Forever

10. Bobby Joe - Evil Dead II

Evil Dead II is a strange one, as it is both a sequel and a sort-of remake of Sam Raimi’s original deadite-stomping adventure.

Released in 1987, Bruce Campbell returns as Ash Williams alongside a brand new cast of characters, all of whom end up in grave dangers because of that damned Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. Will somebody please just get rid of that thing?

Along for the ride are dimwitted repairman Jake and his girlfriend Bobby Joe, neither of whom survive the night. Bobby Joe is the first to go, but at least she holds the distinction of having the movie’s most unique death.

Whilst out in the forest near the cabin in which the heroes are staying, Bobby Joe is hemmed in on all sides by a clutch of possessed trees. The frightening fauna ensnare the poor woman with their branches, before dragging her through the undergrowth at a rapid pace. She then disappears underground, never to be seen again.

The worst part about Bobby Joe’s death is that nobody knows what happened to her. Did she suffocate? Was she impaled on a large root? Did the branches reach inside and pull her apart? Regardless, it was definitely nasty.
