10 Coolest Weapons Used In Horror Movies

Now some people may disagree with this fairly simple weapon taking the top spot, so I ask you this: have you ever seen someone wielding a flamethrower who didn't look insanely cool?

We all just wish we could be as cool as Ripley when she wields that thing, she’s literally everything that any of us ever wanted to be. She’s sexy, strong, smart, and she has a flamethrower. Which is three or so more positive attributes than I myself have.

Flamethrowers are another simple but effective weapon, and they have the benefit of theatrics on their side too. If you want to enter any situation at all and immediately establish yourself as the alpha, all you need is a flamethrower and a little self-belief. Ripley isn’t the only great example of this in horror, just take one look at McReady and tell me that isn’t the coolest man you’ve ever seen.

Flamethrowers have proven effective not only against human villains but against those who came to us from beyond the stars. They truly are the handy-dandy anything-killing machine that all horror protagonists could benefit from.
