10 Best "Oh Sh*t, He's Dead And I'm Next" Moments In Horror Movies

8. Freddy Vs. Jason - Blake Mueller

One sure fire way to have a character sh*t their pants in terror? How 'bout catching the decapitated head of your dad as it slides off his shoulders.

That was the case for Blake Mueller (David Kopp), one of the early victims of Ronny Yu's Freddy vs. Jason.

With his best friend Trey previously sliced up by Jason and folded in half, Blake is a tad angsty by the time we see him hard swigging some liquor and being bothered by his old man on his porch. Demanding some "f**king space" from his pops, Blake is soon transported to the dream world of a certain Freddy Krueger.

Thankfully for this douchebag jock character, Robert Englund's Krueger is too weak at this point to kill him, but Blake has a huge shocker awaiting him when he wakes up. That shocker sees him turn to his dad, only to see his father's head slide off his body as a healthy dose of blood spurts out.

It's here that Blake knows something is array, and he's shortly confronted and killed by a machete-wielding Jason Voorhees.
