10 Horror Movie Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won

7. Satan - Jennifer's Body

Though we don't ever actually physically see Satan in underrated horror-comedy Jennifer's Body, the ol' guy downstairs is nevertheless behind all the macabre goings-on.

After all, Jennifer (Megan Fox) only becomes demonically possessed after a local band, Low Shoulder, offers her to Satan as a virgin sacrifice in exchange for fame and fortune.

The only snag? Jennifer isn't a virgin, so while the sacrifice still works, she gets to stick around as a permanently possessed succubus.

At film's end, Jennifer's best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) kills her, in turn destroying the demon. In the final scene, Needy - who now manifests her own demonic abilities after being bitten by Jennifer - avenges her by hunting down Low Shoulder in their hotel room and slaughtering them.

Though the film plays this as something of a darkly comedic win for Needy, it's important not to lose sight of what really went down here. 

Namely, Satan got his intended sacrifice, all while Needy is left on the run from the authorities with the entire world believing she's a murderer, and zero possibility of her ever being able to prove otherwise.
