10 Unexpected Horror Movie Survivors

When Karla came along in the less than favourable follow-up to the classic slasher hit I Know What You Did Last Summer, viewers could only think one thing, "damn, this girl is toast!" This is because she had not one, not two, but three classic horror tropes working against her. Yet, somehow, she pulled through with only some major scrapes.

Karla was brought in to act as the protagonist's (Julie, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt) new best friend after she lost all her closest pals in the previous film. This was her first sign of danger as the leading character's best friend almost always bites the bullet.

Then, there was the fact she was a black woman. Let's just say, statistically speaking, horror tends to get a little unfair when it comes to picking its victims in that regard.

Finally, there's the fact she was played by the famous musician Brandy. Typically, once a mainstream performer enters the horror movie fray, you can expect they won't get the same kind of royalties as in the music industry.

To add insult to all those injuries, she even suffered some, well, injuries. She took a fishhook to the foot and even fell through a glass door. Still, once Julie returned to her hotel, she found Karla, safe and sound, albeit sporting a nasty limp.
