9. Laurie Strode - Halloween: Resurrection
How She Died: After surviving to the eighth installment of the Halloween franchise, Resurrection, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finds herself holed up in a mental institution, pretending to be insane in the hope it would lure her brother Michael Myers - who she thought she killed in the last film - into a final showdown. That it certainly does, and after Laurie hesitates to kill Michael, he stabs her and hurls her off the roof of the hospital, killing her.
Why It Sucks: Aside from the fact that the franchise should have ended with the last film, where Laurie decapitates Michael - or, I'm sorry, a medic whose larynx Myers crushes and dresses up as himself - Laurie's death meant that the rest of the film had Myers contending with Busta Rhymes and a lame webcast gimmick, essentially causing us to root for Myers more so than ever before.
