9 Horror Movie Villains That Had Totally Lame Deaths

3. Freddy Krueger - Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

Though there have been some pretty bad offenders on this list so far, the disappointment of Freddy's death in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare stung extra because, well, it's right there in the title - this was the moment the entire film had been built around.

Old Fred Krueger was no stranger to death - and a bunch of the previous films saw him being killed either in the dream world or reality - but this 'final' film promised to end him once and for all. But for a demon who's survived being yanked into reality and booby trapped to death and had the souls of his victims housed in his chest tear him apart, what's the thing that finally puts him down for good?

A pipe bomb. A single pipe bomb.

The end of The Final Nightmare sees the once-scary villain pinned to a wall and stabbed by his own glove before a pipe bomb is stabbed into his chest. Before dying he quips to the camera, as some of the shoddiest effects you've ever seen focus on his head flying at the lens.
