4. Randy - Scream 2
How He Died: In the 2nd Scream movie, smart-ass film geek Randy (Jamie Kennedy) is dragged into Gale's TV van by Ghostface (and going by her later comments, it is Mrs. Loomis rather than Mickey under the mask), and brutally stabbed numerous times until death.
Why It Sucks: Though the death was extremely shocking in its violence and surprise factor, the point is that Randy was such an entertaining character, that he really should have stuck around for a while longer. No character cemented the franchise's satirical elements as easily and as brilliantly as him, and this seems to be something even Wes Craven appreciates, given that Randy awkwardly comes back in the third movie in the form of video tapes recorded before his death. The film received some criticism for this choice, even if overall Scream 2 was a surprisingly great sequel.
