10 MORE Horror Victims Who Got EXACTLY What They Deserved

There are certain tropes expected when it comes to horror, including jump scares, unmaskings, jaw-dropping twists, and a little bit of sequel-bait.

Of course, one commonality that ties the genre together is the glorious kills. No matter what type of horror you're looking at, it's highly likely that most of the ensemble aren't going to make it out alive. And if these poor souls are pure of heart, it's more impactful when they're hacked, eaten, or sucked dry.

However, as has been established in 10 Horror Victims Who Got EXACTLY What They Deserve, there are some characters who need to go. If a victim is dysfunctional, annoying, and unhelpful, you're praying for them to die in the most agonising way possible. 

This unlikeable lot can be so repulsive, they may be causing more harm than the main villain. And if they're responsible for triggering the chaotic events in the film in the first place, no tears should be shed when they meet their maker. 

Although the following ten characters are classified as victims, it was a cause for celebration when they got what was coming to them.

Grave Encounters centres around self-proclaimed ghost hunter Lance Preston, who hosts a paranormal reality show. Though Lance emphasises everything on the program is legit, he stages scares, pays actors to lie, and manipulates footage. Lance has no belief in the supernatural whatsoever, so it's apparent he's only doing this for the money.

When he learns about an abandoned hospital where the staff conducted lobotomies on patients, Lance decides to dedicate a whole episode to it. But once he and his crew lock themselves inside the building, it isn't long before they're tormented by the spirits of the former occupants. 

Despite doing all they can to escape, the crewmembers are picked off one by one until Lance is all by himself. Trapped in the facility for an indeterminate length of time, our host is forced to eat rats to stay alive, and he's eventually lobotomised by the facilitator's spirit, becoming a part of the haunted house story he initially mocked.

Although Lance's fate is tragic, it's 100% his fault. He cons viewers with his fake show, walks into a ghost-infested hospital despite the warning signs, and deliberately antagonises the spectres for the sake of entertainment. 

Lance Preston may not be evil, but what happened to him is a textbook example of poetic justice.
