10 Best ‘I’m Dead And I Know It’ Moments In Vampire Horror Movies

When you think of memorable deaths in this film, chances are you’ll think of the final emotional scene in which our main man dies in the arms of his estranged wife by being burned away in the sunrise. Ok - boring, much?

The death I want to remember is an absolutely tragic failure: Beau’s tractor explosion demise.

He tries to have a hero's death, creating a diversion and taking some vampires out at the same time by driving a souped up tractor through the town. The plan was to have his diversion culminate in an explosion designed to kill him and any surrounding vamps, and at first it looks like he’s achieved it.

Unfortunately shortly after the big explosion, Beau’s somewhat scorched body comes flopping out of the window. He falls right into the midst of the remaining very angry vampires and his face betrays his fear - he really didn’t see this situation coming.

The leader of the vamps, Marlow, rubs salt in the wound by giving a really cool little speech about how men must destroy themselves when confronted with a force they cannot destroy before crushing Beau’s head with his foot.

It’s a humiliating, disappointing death for a character who envisioned his end as being purely heroic.
