10 Predictable Horror Movie Deaths We All Saw Coming

9. Kristen - A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master

A Nightmare On Elm Street really has a thing for wiping the slate clean and starting again, with the franchise killing off the entire cast of the third movie in its sequel, The Dream Master. Following in the same footsteps as beloved Nancy getting herself Freddy-ed in Dream Warriors, Kristen is next on the chopping block as a final girl that has outstayed her welcome, and is swiftly seen to as the film plays out.

Killing off the surviving final girl, or more broadly, the surviving cast at large, is a horror cliche that has lasted the ages, with Friday the 13th Part 2 literally fridging Alice, Alien 3 ending Ripley, and the Halloween franchise offing Laurie Strode as some of the most egregious examples. Not that they all stayed dead, mind.

Upping the ante with a bigger body count is part and parcel of Scream's guide to sequels, after all, so did we really expect anything different when it came to The Dream Master? If not even Nancy is safe, then it's a sure bet Kristen won't ever be sleeping again, either.
