20 Greatest Horror Movie Deaths Of The 2020s (So Far)
The decade's most insane horror deaths you won't ever forget.
There are few things more certain in a horror film than death - it's simply expected that the vast majority of horror flicks will dish up at least a couple of bloody kills, because why wouldn't they?
And so, horror fans have surely seen thousands - even tens of thousands - of deaths over the years and decades, but only precious few are ever likely to be remembered for long.
It takes a special level of creativity for filmmakers to deliver a death scene that actually sticks with audiences through the years.
Perhaps it features unforgettably inventive practical gore effects, or is just so singularly disturbing that it burrows deep into our collective subconscious.
Whatever the reason, these 20 death scenes from 2020s horror films will stick with you throughout the rest of the decade and beyond.
No matter how the rest of the movie turned out, these films all struck jaw-dropping gold with these astonishingly brutal, nasty, WTF, and perhaps even hilarious deaths.
And now, we can only hope that the remainder of the 2020s serves up just as much inspired, artful depravity...
20. Kate - Fear Street Part One: 1994
Fear Street Part One: 1994 well and truly proved that filmmaker Leigh Janiak wasn't messing around, considering the nauseating yet impressively creative death scene she served up for one of the movie's most likeable characters.
Poor Kate (Julia Rehwald) is taken off the chess board late in the movie when her head is shoved through an industrial bread slicer by the Shadyside killer.
While many filmmakers might've opted to cut away and demonstrate some discretion for the death of a well-liked character, Janiak instead lingers on the scene as Kate's head is pulped into chunks by the force of the machinery, all while she lets out the most horrific blood-curdling scream.
The practical effects wizardry combined with Rehwald's terrified performance and the sheer suddenness of it all make Kate's death by far the most memorable and disturbing in the entire franchise to date, and it'll be tough to top moving forward.
