10 Most Unexpected Horror TV Show Deaths

10. Bob - Stranger Things 2

Starting off the list is Stranger Things. As arguably the biggest show Netflix has ever put out, it can chalk up a lot of its success to its great cast of characters. As its second chapter began, one of the more underrated cast members was Sean Astin's Bob.

The second season really ramps up in its eighth episode with the monsters rampaging through a hospital. It's a tense and unrelenting chase through the hallways of the Hawkins laboratory. In this desperate moment, Joyce's new partner Bob really steps up to the plate. Following careful instructions from scientist Doctor Owens, he's able to distract the creatures and help the group get out safely.

The escape appears to have been a narrow success, until one last crawler pounces on Bob. It's a truly gut-wrenching sequence as the action slows to a crawl, absorbing the audience into the horrifying moment. Joyce's devastation is made much more powerful with the lack of sound and the team has no choice but to leave him behind.

Poor Bob has no chance against the beast as it tears into him mercilessly and this sudden end to his character arc made him a fan favourite among fans. Many took to forums and social media to pay their respects to the loveable character.
