10 Most Unexpected Horror TV Show Deaths

Finally, we have How To Get Away With Murder, a highly regarded murder drama that made use of often underrepresented cast members. Led by Viola Davis, it became a big hit between 2014 and 2020.

While it's more of a legal thriller than full on horror, How To Get Away With Murder still features its share of creepier elements. The tension stems from the unpredictable nature of its story. We follow the proficient law professor Annaliese Keating as she becomes embroiled in a murder case.

Wes Gibbins, played by Alfred Enoch is one of the more likeable and charismatic students in Annaliese's class and is eventually selected to be an intern at her firm. When the professor is targeted by several criminals, her students become targets.

In the third season Wes goes to his teacher's home, only to be suddenly grabbed from behind and subdued with a sedative. His killer finishes the job by choking Wes and burning Annaliese's house down. With many audiences enjoying his character, it was a surprise to see him killed off so soon. The grievous wounds on his body in the morgue hammers his demise home.
