10 Smartest Villain Plans In Horror Movies

The Plan: Using a modified stunt car to murder unsuspecting women and passing their deaths off as accidents.

Kurt Russell's Mike McKay of Death Proof exemplifies why it is always an atrociously bad idea to get into cars with strange men. While Tarantino's 2007 bloodbath might not be a fully fledged horror, it possesses subject matter more than suited to one.

Russell's psychotic stuntman had the chilling foresight to retain a crash-proof stunt car from his movie days. Equipped with a roll cage and other modifications, his ride is essentially indestructible - "Death Proof", if you will. Amongst other death-defying maneuvers, McKay can literally ram cars head-on at full speed without exploding like a meat balloon - the unfortunate occupant of his passenger seat and the vehicle full of women he stalks and obliterates in the film's first act are not so lucky.

McKay may be a homicidal sh*tbag, but he's a wickedly sly one. The murderous driver even has the foresight to target women he knows have been drinking on the same night of his attack. Once the smoke clears and the bloody corpses and mangled wreckage have been hauled away, the police can't charge him after he survives the spectacular collision with barely a scratch. Despite their suspicions, the deceased had been drinking while McKay is as sober as a Supreme Court Justice - he is soon released without charge.

Detestably ingenious stuff.
