From Dallas' encounter with the titular Alien to Drew Barrymore's iconic demise at the beginning of Scream, these are the coolest kills in horror movie history.
What makes a death in a horror movie “cool”? Is it the blood, the gore, the absurdity, and the absolute wildness of it? Ab-so-lutely! But it can also be about how impactful it is, how downright iconic it has become, or even how damn scary it is. Things can be cool for so many different reasons that it’s virtually impossible to set parameters for what makes something “cool.” So, I won’t.
Related In the movie, an alien parasite lands on Earth after hitching a ride on a falling meteorite. Its mission is to breed, using humans as birthing vessels for its slug-like alien brood. The coolest death in the movie happens to poor Brenda. Impregnated and chained up in a barn, she’s now the host to thousands of alien slugs.
There’s something so undeniably captivating about plane disasters. Hell, there’s literally an entire series called Mayday that’s been on for literally 20 years and does nothing but recount aircraft accidents. Flying 30,000 feet above ground, going over 500 mph, all while trapped in a metal tube, is incredibly unnatural, and our brains know it. We can’t help but wonder every time we step foot in a plane. But that fear is also what generates such interest.
Goth girl sex — Urban Legend Urban Legend is a controversial entry in horror history. Some people like it, while others think it’s schlocky. Personally, I love it, and you should too. It’s a unique take on the slasher genre where the killer’s MO is murdering people based on classic urban legends. The craziest, creepiest, coolest, and most sadistic death in the film is the “Aren’t You Glad You Didn’t Turn on the Light” kill.
Tina’s gravity-free murder — A Nightmare on Elm Street While Johnny Depp’s death is arguably the more famous kill scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Tina’s is by far the coolest. What fans need to remember is that Tina was the first death in the movie. We start by seeing her nightmares, thinking she’s the Final Girl, assuming the movie is going to revolve around her. But then, Freddy gets her — and as we all know, when Freddy kills you in a dream, he kills you in real life.
“It’s moving right towards you!” — Alien In Alien, Dallas is the second person killed by the fully grown xenomorph, but it’s the scene that really gives audiences their first good glimpse at what the alien truly looks like. Dallas goes searching through the ship’s ventilation system, hoping to kill the alien, but it turns out he’s the one being hunted.
