2. Dick Hallorann (Scatman Crothers) The Shining (1980)
Cause of Death: Axe to the Chest After being summoned into action by little Danny Torrance, Hallorann makes his way to the spooky Overlook Hotel to investigate. Despite being literally horrified by the danger he senses, he decides to go unarmed becausewell, I dont know the reason. Then, even though hes sensed said danger, upon his arrival he does the classic: Hello! Anybody Here?! Hope nobody decides to jump me with an axe! Suffice it to say, someone does decide to jump him with an axe. Whodathunkit?! How To Survive It: Ok, so lets imagine for a second that youre psychic, and you're summoned somewhere by another psychic who tells you that theyre in danger. Whats your first order of business? If you answered anything other than getting hold of a gun, or at least something you could use as a weapon, then youre wrong. Next, try not to announce your arrival and your exact whereabouts to any potential psychopaths that may or may not be wielding axes. Theres no harm in being careful right? If you still get murdered, then at least you tried your best.
