9. The Parka - Urban Legend

In Urban Legend, several people in a college wind up dead, convincing Natalie that a serial killer is in the area. Each murder stands out since the victims's deaths are inspired by an urban legend.

Instead of wearing scary mask, the villain wears a hooded parka. Although a coat may seem uncreative, it's perfectly logical since it conceals the person's face but doesn't stand out. Jason Voorhees' mask is iconic but doesn't make a great disguise. (If you're trying to kill people under the cover of darkness, a white mask is going to stick out.)

If you saw Leatherface in the dead of night, you'd suspect he's a crazed madman. But a person in a parka doesn't look suspicious, which causes victims to let their guard down. Since the anorak is so thick, it's also impossible to decipher the killer's physique or gender.

Because parkas are common, it's easy for anyone who owns one to be a suspect, making it tricky to pinpoint the murderer. At one point, Natalie erroneously believes a man who's helping her is the killer, simply because he has a hooded parka in his car.
