10 Worst Horror Movie Villains To Be Killed By
It would SUCK to die like this.
Horror movies are largely built on the very appeal of watching a fleet of oft-helpless victims get resolutely murked by an antagonist far more powerful than themselves, whether a supernatural monster or flesh-and-blood killer.
And while many deaths in horror movies don't leave much of a visceral mark, every so often a villain emerges whose means of dispatching their victims gets right under everybody's skin - perhaps even literally.
Few characters die well in horror movies, but then there's the upper echelon of victims who are offed in ways that leave us all squirming at the very possibility.
And so, inspired by this recent Reddit thread on the very subject, here are the 10 worst horror movie villains we'd all loathe to be killed by.
These creatures and serial killers all went the extra mile to ensure that their victims were killed horribly, from psychologically torturing them first, to excessively manipulating their body in deeply twisted ways, and perhaps ensuring that they couldn't rest even in death.
These horror movie deaths will make you pine for the sweet, simple release of a butcher's knife through the chest, which at the very least affords its recipients a thoroughly snappy end...
10. Jean Jacket - Nope
Nope's extraterrestrial entity nicknamed Jean Jacket doesn't offer a quick or painless death for its victims, instead giving them precious time to meditate on the fact they're about to be brutally churned into bloody alien food.
First off, Jean Jacket's victims are sucked upwards off the ground at dizzyingly high speed, and as the film painstakingly demonstrates, they tend to still be alive as they're delivered into what could best be described as the creature's intestinal tract.
From here, it appears that Jean Jacket uses muscles within its body to crush its food, causing blood and indigestible matter such as metal to rain downwards to the floor.
As if the trauma of being suddenly swept into the sky and into the gaping maw of an alien monster isn't bad enough, Jordan Peele makes it skin-crawlingly clear that you're also afforded a little time to consider what's about to happen to you.
At least the crushing itself is probably an instant death - or close to it.
