10 Horror Movie Characters Who Deserved To Die

You don't get the nickname of "King of Horror" unless you know how to write superbly death-worthy characters.

The characters in the 2007 take on Stephen King's The Mist already have a gloomy situation on their hands. A thick mist has descended on the town of Bridgton, Maine, bringing with it a legion of supernatural terrifying creatures seemingly intent on devouring the population of the town.

No apocalyptic film is complete without a religious whack-job spouting doomsday drivel and The Mist's very own soon reveals herself amongst a group of survivors barricaded within a supermarket: Mrs. Carmody. While this writer would agree that the aforementioned spouting of doomsday drivel is hardly deserving of death in its own right, Mrs. Carmody soon shows that she is only just getting started.

After whipping the terrifying survivors into a state of frenzy with her crazy rantings about the end of the world, Carmody elevates herself to full on mad prophet status after miraculously surviving a close encounter with one of the creatures. She uses her newfound influence like a maniacal dictator, using her followers to offer up the supermarket's inhabitants as "sacrifices" in an insane attempt to appease the forces she deludedly believes are responsible for the mist, culminating in an attempt to sacrifice lead protagonist David's eight-year-old son Billy.

At a time where the world and everything in it had gone to sh*t, things were already bad enough before Mrs. Carmody made them infinitely worse. As a result, audiences are practically cheering when she gets a bullet through the head courtesy of Ollie. Easily one of the more deserved deaths in horror history.
