10 Recent Horror Movie Deaths Everyone Loved

What is any horror movie without a death scene or two? It's often the very idea around which the genre revolves, allowing audiences to engage with the concept of death in an escapist and entertaining way. And of course, we've all seen mediocre, even genuinely bad movies that were saved entirely by their creatively effed-up death scenes, no matter how ropey the writing and performances might've otherwise been.

There's also something special about a horror movie that serves up a death scene that truly leaves the audience euphoric, ready to rise out of their seat and cheer at the screen. This can happen in a number of ways - perhaps the death in question is uncommonly creative, maybe it's cartoonishly gory, or it might simply deliver a fitting fate to a detestable character the audience couldn't wait to see die.

Whatever the means, these recent horror movie deaths were all the easy highlights of their respective films, from the suitably brutal demise of a certain villain to a death scene that just oozed cool, and perhaps the single most cheer-worthy death of a child in any movie, like, ever.

No matter what you made of the following horror flicks overall, these deaths absolutely rocked.

Final Destination: Bloodlines introduces audiences to arguably one of the most easy-to-loathe characters in the entire franchise - a young boy by the name of Alfred Milano (Noah Bromley), whose penchant for reckless coin-throwing is ultimately responsible for the collapse of the high-rise restaurant tower in the opening premonition sequence.

Alfred nevertheless appears to escape the calamity, even laughing to himself as he runs clear, only to be hilariously crushed to death by a piano that falls from the collapsing restaurant above, turning him into pure pulp.

Considering that Alfred was throwing coins off the tower without a care in the world, and this act led to the entire catastrophe, there was no sympathy whatsoever when the obnoxious kid perished, but rather a whole lot of audience satisfaction.

But of course, this was just a premonition and so gets something of an asterisk next to it - Iris (Gabrielle Rose) ends up taking the coin off Alfred and preventing the pre-destined disaster from ever happening, saving countless lives, including Alfred's.

Eagle-eyed fans who watch the end credits, however, will see a newspaper report that reveals Alfred was quite fittingly killed as an adult by a piano-moving truck.
