10 Hilarious Horror Video Game Deaths

3. Ashley Investigates The Voice - Until Dawn

Until Dawn may be a relatively self-aware horror game, but it also plays the majority of its tropes pretty straight, so you can't really call it an outright parody.

Case in point, the player is able to send Ashley directly to her most unsurprising death if they decide to have her investigate the faint voice in the underground passageway during the game's ninth chapter.

It seems like a bad idea because, of course, it totally is. In a side tunnel, Ashley will discover a secret trapdoor from which banging can be heard, and if players decide to open the door against conventional wisdom, a Wendigo will spring out and rip her head clean off.

Between the outlandishly obvious fact that Ashley is being led to her death, the riotous jump scare, and Ashley's daft facial expression as she's snuffed out by the Wendigo, it's tough not to laugh.

The lack of self-preservation on display here is shocking, and totally the player's own fault.
