10 Scariest Horror Movie Twins
6. Kelly And Terry Fairchild - The Initiation (1984)
The evil twin aspect to this film is the big twist finale, but actually revealed in the opening scene and heavily hinted at throughout the story. College student Kelly is an amnesiac who has recurring nightmares of walking in on her parents in bed as a child and stabbing her father before he pushes an intruder into the fire.
It turns out that this event actually happened, but not quite the way Kelly remembered it. She was so traumatised by seeing her twin sister stab the man her mother was having an affair with, who then horrifically burned her father, that she completely forgot she had a twin or who her real father was.
Kelly’s twin Terry was sent to an insane asylum following the attack and built up incredible rage against her sister, jealous that she got to live a normal life. Their still-alive father helps her escape while working as a gardener at the hospital. The two of them go on the hunt for Kelly on the night of her sorority initiation, brutally attacking anyone who gets in their way.
The final showdown between the girls highlights the animosity Terry feels for her sister. Even though she was justifiably institutionalised for her actions, she feels she didn’t deserve to be labelled the bad twin because, in her eyes, she was defending their father.
