10 WTF Horror Movie Scenes Inspired By Real Life
10. Rob Shouts "He's Killing Me!" As Jason Kills Him - Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter
The Friday the 13th franchise has played host to some of the most iconically ridiculous death scenes in the entire horror genre, and perhaps none more than Rob Dier's (Erich Anderson) outrageous demise in the fourth movie, The Final Chapter.
Rob is cornered by Jason (Ted White) in the basement, and repeatedly shouts "He's killing me!" while Jason hacks him to pieces, as Trish Jarvis (Kimberly Beck) looks on in horror.
The scene has been widely ridiculed by fans over the years for its presumed implausibility, though in the bestselling book "Crystal Lake Memories," director Joseph Zito claimed the scene was influenced by a story he read in a New York newspaper.
In the story, a man was being stabbed to death while shouting, "Please stop hurting me, please stop killing me!," which Zito perceived as infinitely more disturbing than a mere scream.
As much as he attempted to translate that unsettling quality into Jason's kill, most fans continue to laugh the scene off as totally absurd to this very day.
