20 Greatest Horror Movie Endings Of All Time

19. April Fool's Day (1986)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go8spII4kM0 The Movie: A group of college friends decide to spend their spring break relaxing, getting drunk, and having sex at their rich friend€™s mansion that is located on an island. Unfortunately though, there is a mysterious killer on the island as well who is stalking the group and picking them off one-by-one in a series of gruesome ways. The Ending: With a title like April Fool's Day, it's no wonder that director Fred Walton's seemingly routine '80s slasher flick would hinge on a well-timed €œGotcha!€ moment. The first time you watch the film, though (assuming you've done so before reading this, of course), it€™s hard to imagine the idea that every decapitation, castration, stabbing, and throat cutting has been a hoax, all imagined by Muffy (Deborah Foreman), the host of the getaway. What appears to be a straightforward horror movie is actually a very dark comedy, not to mention one of the more ambitious killer-on-the-loose flicks from the decade known for its slasher overload.
