I think I saw similar deaths in at least a dozen of other movies: one character gets his head out through a window, and when he gets back in, he has a hole in his head, his throat is slashed or the head is simply missing...Sometimes, the other characters start screaming immediately or they might not be aware of what just happened, they chat or do other stuff and only after a while, when they turn to the dead guy, they notice something bad occurred(their reaction can then vary from horrified to comical, depending on the movie).
"Hereditary" and "Children of Men" probably had the most shocking sudden deaths for me. (I'm not sure if you'd count "Children of Men" as a horror movie, but I thought Julianne Moore was the star and suddenly....Gone!)
The marketing for Hereditary was great too in that it really portrayed the girl as being the character with the most screen time behind the mom and then that wasn’t so much the case. Haha
I'll give that one to you. _Children of Men_ is very horrific, at times. Doubly so, when you consider that some of its more disturbing imagery was inspired by things that were really happening, when it was made.
@@benmcfee Exactly! I'm not necessarily a big sci-fi fan, but if there's a film or TV or book about a dystopian future...I'm in! It's scary stuff. "Children of Men" is definitely one of the best.
As brutal as the death in barbarian was, Charlie's death literally stunned me and the person I was watching with into dead silence for a full minute or so b/c of how shocking it was. That scene had me shook for a long time. I'm still :O about it.
I have to admit I'm hoping for more from the Barbarian verse. I know the director said there's no prequel or sequel because he had no interest in the guy's story but when the stranger outside mentioned she wasn't the worst thing in the basement it got me thinking about what else could be there. Also Keith said that something bit him and I didn't see Mother bite or try to bite anyone else...
@@BygB304 Yeah, I get what you mean but then that doesn't explain the bite. It never showed her trying to bite anyone else or even hint at it and she had Tess in the basement for a while. I think there was a time skip of a few weeks if I remember right.
The ‘main’ girl getting taken by the flying alien thing in “Pitch Black” was a good one. Also the last remaining black guy from “Night of the Living Dead.” And how the HELL are you going to leave Samuel L. Jackson when he gets eaten by the shark off this list!??? Come on that should be #1!!! 🦈
Very good list,but I would add Clare from Wish Upon. She slowly realizes that every wish she made Upon the mysterious music box caused the death of her friends. In an attempt to right the wrong,she uses her final wish to bring herself to the day before she even saw it. This brings all the victims back to life-unfortunately,and unexpectedly,she gets run over by a car. She paid the final price.
Funny thing about the Ellie-for-Gage switch in Pet Semetary 2019....the filmmakers actually intended for that to be a surprise, but then the studio were huge idiots and put dead Ellie scenes in all the trailers, utterly ruining the twist and pissing off the folks that made the film.
Look here, when Charlie from Hereditary head got knocked off, I swear I had the same expression as the brother. I had to pause the movie & processed it. It surprised the shit outta me lol.
I expected Tara's death in Terrifier, I even expected it at that moment. I did not expect Art to pull a gun, as one expects slashers to abide by a certain 'code'. Which made that moment very effective. Art isn't a slasher. Or if he is, he has a different code. Something like 'be silent' or something'. Though I think Art just likes killing and at the end of the day while he prefers sadism, pragmatism is sometimes just more practical.
I truly like Art The Clown's randomness. But gotta admit that I liked Tara's fiery character 1000x than the plain sister... I just hope they make more Terrifier movies. 👍👍
@@skwisgarskwigelf7191True, but as the Scream films are also a deconstruction of the rules of slashers, and every killer is a different one, that felt less unexpected. Valid point, though!
The Pet Sematary remake? Seriously? They marketed the movie on the Ellie death switch. that was anything but unexpected. It shouldn’t have even been on this list, Never mind being number 3..
Exactly. It was spoiled so much ahead of time that you'd have to go in completely blind to benefit from the twist. Sucks cause it would've been a good fakeout twist.
Megan in "House of the Devil" has one of those OH Sh!T moments. It's expected that she's probably going to die, but it's the abrupt way that it happens that makes it shocking.
@@reptoidfancy666 doesn’t sound like you watched Barbarian. There’s a difference between making a stupid decision or 2. But not one character in that movie makes a smart decision
I don't have siblings so maybe this is actually a thing but I do have kids and I'm just wondering why the hell a parent would make or even want their teenage child to take their younger non-teenage sibling to a party full of other teenagers? It's been a hot minute since I watched Hereditary so maybe I'm missing and forgetting something!
I feel like it's set up that the mom is still grieving (in her own way) her mother's death and wants her son to take Charlie to the party because she thinks (obviously mistakenly) that if Charlie is there with him, he will keep an eye on her (which will keep him from doing the things teenagers want to do at parties). She's also not a "little" kid, which would definitely make it stranger. Also, the cult is shown to be influencing the decisions that the family is making; so that helps to explain a more unusual/unlikely decision. But, yeah, in "the real world", it seems like a strange choice on the mom's part.
The one for Alien V Predator Requiem, I would have more argued for the woman that gets pinned to the wall near the end. The kid we knew what was going to happen as soon as that facehugger jumped out.
Same surprised they didn't mention the love interest instead of the kid because we figured out what happened to the father the kid was going to probably get killed too somehow but the fact the girl is running and suddenly she's killed instantly by the predator's weapon was very surprising
Honestly, everyone saw Sam’s death coming in AvP:R. Now Jessie’s death was a different story. Not only is she pinned to the wall with Wolf’s shuriken, but a follow up shot shows her body was cut in half from the waist down and that only the top portion is pinned to the wall.
Yeah I thought she would survive as she was very close to the end but her death was one of the most shocking and coolest death scenes I have ever seen.
There's an extremely short film called Deathdealer , in which Henry Rollins appears that once a hit man at first. In the space of just under 16 minutes, we find that he is the angel of death. It's done as a documentary, and er do see how he operates, but the final death in the film comes as a real surprise.
Kirk from the original TCM definitely counts, I think. There's no real indication that Leatherface is going to ambush him and take him out so suddenly (the soundtrack is dead silent until AFTER Leatherface drags the body away), and he was on his way to investigate a strange room that most films would allow him to at least enter and see it before getting attacked.
Considering that this was one of the first slashers ever made and one of the ones that helped pioneer the "final girl" trope, moviegoers back when it released had no idea what to expect from TCM when it came out. Nowadays we can tell who is more likely to live and die in a horror movie (with exceptions, as this list demonstrates) but there was no way of knowing back then what was going to happen.
Normally I’m on the same page as you all 90% of the time, but the fact that The Hero from Feast didn’t make it on here is a travesty. It was so sudden, bloody and hilariously good.
Another reason King hated the movie. In the book he lived. Though he did help save Danny and Wendy in the movie one way. Bringing a working snow cat for them to escape in.
What about Michael played by Jack Weber in Dawn of the Dead? A commenter I was talking to mentioned Ben from Nigh of the Living Dead, which is a GREAT one. It made me think of DOTD. And Stan and Eddie from It kinda slapped me in the face.
Right? This is why I do timestamps when I have the time and it’s a safe video for me to watch- most channels have learned that that’s what people want, and this one just hasn’t seemed to figure it out yet. Even worse that they usually put spoilers literally on the section intro cards, unlike other list channels that usually just say “Number: name” which gives people time to click away
I can't say I never saw Ellie Creed's death coming because they spoiled it extensively in the marketing leading up to release. The switch was a key part of hooking people to watch it in cinemas. Sucked because that would've be a massive twist for me, personally.
I audibly gasped when it happened. I leaned so hard into thinking that they intentionally typecast Bill Skarsgard because he would be revealed as a villain midway through the movie. GREAT subversion of expectations.
My mother used to tell us kids that if we put our heads out of the window, we are at risk having a telephone pole decapitate us. So," Hereditary" was right all the time.
2 I want to add.. in AS Yule Log, a LOT of stuff in that movie comes out of left field, but the one that sticks out most for me is the guy in the shower that suddenly just gets his head bashed in out of absolutely nowhere. Also in Green Inferno, when things are starting to calm down a bit after the plane crash and then Kara suddenly takes an arrow to the neck with no warning.
Regarding The Rental, my problem is horror movies have become predictable that the villain wins in the end, or that at least the protagonists lose (like The Mist).
This is a pretty major spoiler for The Invisible Man, so I'm going to put it below the read more, but Cecilia's sister, Emily's throat slit at the restaurant was a big surprise when watching the movie. A main character's sister dying isn't unusual, but the suddenness of it during their dinner got a huge gasp from me when it happened.
@The Mop no its not... in the trailer they show m3gan chasing the boy... and you usually don't see kids killed in movies so I took from the trailer she pushes and hurts him, but the trailer never shows the kid getting hit by the car, so when it happened I was totally shocked by it completely
Maybe in retrospect, it doesn't feel like that big of a deal, but I'd argue Drew Barrymore getting offed in the opening scene of the original Scream is about as sudden as it gets. She got top billing for that movie and I remember thinking as I was watching it, she was definitely going to escape to set up the rest of the movie. The fact the movie had the balls to kill the top star at the very beginning of the movie was shocking at the time.
THANK YOU for the spoiler warning on Barbarian!!! I love watching these lists to find new movies to watch, but sometimes haven't gotten to the newest yet and so it's really disappointing to have things spoiled for me. I appreciate the heads up so I can quickly pause the video and continue to enjoy it after skipping the spoiler!
I was truly heartbroken with that Barbarian death. 💔 I truly love the actor (I don't want to spoil the name here to people who haven't seen it). I guess the movie makers chose the actor in purpose because of the last biggest move the actor played in. 😀 It's a decent movie, I like it because of that particular actor...
The death of the new student Teresa in 1969's The House that Screamed. It shocked because for 2/3 of the movie she is the main character, then after her death a previous villain fills that spot.
The one in the Teaxs Chainsaw Masscure: The begging towards the end I thought she escaped but nope leatherface was in the back that caught me off guard
Tara's end is one of the greatest in horror. How many times have slashers used a gun? Never! I was like, OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Really I was like OMFN'G!!!!!!!
I know a lot of people didn’t like when Art just randomly pulled out a gun but I thought it was hilarious. You never see slasher killer basically just say “fuck it” and shoot them 😂
Emma Roberts in The Hunt. But I guess people actually liked it, LoL. Being a non American and non politics enthusiast, I enjoyed that movie a lot. Learn new things I didn't catch before the second time watching it.
I realize the target audience for this is very, very young but seriously: Omit Janet Leigh from "Psycho"? That death shocked the entire moviegoing planet in 1960.
How did you forget terry's death in final destination? that death was so quick and unexpected that I missed it the first time cuz I glanced down to look at my phone for like 5 seconds then I looked back up and her bloods on everyone
Charlie’s Death in Hereditary is still the only death in any movie that literally had me speechless. Unexpected asf
Good reason to always carry an epipen...
I think I saw similar deaths in at least a dozen of other movies: one character gets his head out through a window, and when he gets back in, he has a hole in his head, his throat is slashed or the head is simply missing...Sometimes, the other characters start screaming immediately or they might not be aware of what just happened, they chat or do other stuff and only after a while, when they turn to the dead guy, they notice something bad occurred(their reaction can then vary from horrified to comical, depending on the movie).
I'm surprised the restaurant scene from Invisible Man isn't in here.
Randy's death in Scream 2 still feels like a slap in the face!
The little boy in The Quiet Place should have made that list since it happened before we even knew what the story was
I think all of us knew it was going to happen since he was in none of the marketing materials. Same with Sarah in The Last of Us.
Nah you could tell that the little twat was going get himself and possibly all the family killed.
@@Thedarkside02 and that's why I don't watch trailers. They give too much away.
Omg that and then when the dad dies made me cry like a damn baby!!
@@katz0625 Spoiler! Damn. (I have already seen it, but still).
Excellent list, but I’d HAVE to include Samuel Jackson in Deep Blue Sea. One of the all time great surprises!!
At the time, yes. However on a re-watch, you can see it a mile away.
definitely
This whole list makes no sense since this death isn’t mentioned at all
yes the Friday the 13th remake is so awful and insignificant it shouldn`t be on the list
No because that one is done to death.
Great list. Deff. should have included the Sisters having dinner scene from The Invisible Man remake!
Yes! By the time that you see the levitating knife and realize what's about to happen it's too late for her
@@alejandropadilla6777 Exactly. I have no idea how it did not make this list and not be in the top 3 at least. Part two peeps! How dare you? lol
@@leebentz6358 jajajaja i thought exactly the same, let's Indeed wait for a second part!
Definitely the first I thought of. That was arguably the most intense scene in a REALLY good movie
@@JorenMyers Indeed!!!
I'm surprised Teri from the original Final Destination didn't make it. No one saw that bus coming! Especially not her!
My thought exactly!
Yes! I remember seeing it as a teen and was so shocked! Only Alex heard the bus but didn't expect it to be right there when she stepped on the street

His death broke my heart. He went through all of that just to be killed at the last second by the townspeople.
@@MelaninCosplaydude same the first time I saw it I was with my family and I looked at my mom and was like “what but that’s not fair…”

My thoughts exactly
What about the bus death from the original Final Destination?
Jenna was the only likeable character in that Friday the 13th movie
Green Room had a few surprising deaths. Great film!!!
Clear River in final destination 2.
How about the, er... great grandmother of them all --- Marian Crane in "Psycho"?
Right? Or perhaps her 90s counterpart, Casey (Drew Barrymore) in Scream?
Right? Both Scream and Pyscho should have been on this list
You missed Dale and tucker vs evil
Hills have Eyes remake has one of the most surprising death scenes.
Which one?
Hallorann is a crying shame! I loved the character, so it really sucks that he got killed off so unceremoniously.
and he didn't even got to do anything! That was annoying.

Sam Jackson's death in "Deep Blue Sea" is the most shocking death ever
LOL....he said the "rundown area of detroit"....you can just say detroit.
What about Michael played by Jack Weber in Dawn of the Dead? A commenter I was talking to mentioned Ben from Nigh of the Living Dead, which is a GREAT one. It made me think of DOTD. And Stan and Eddie from It kinda slapped me in the face.
And what about the son in a quite place? That one tottaly took me off guard
Dick Hallorann's death was genuinely devastating. I first watched The Shining when I was very young and it took me a long time to get over it.
How is there no Samuel L. Jackson munched on in Deep blue sea on this list? 😂 😂
So, what am I supposed to see in the description that helps me know which movies are getting spoiled?

Idk but Barbarian is one of my favorite Horror movies in the last few years next to the Terrifier 2 and smile 👌🏻
2 I want to add.. in AS Yule Log, a LOT of stuff in that movie comes out of left field, but the one that sticks out most for me is the guy in the shower that suddenly just gets his head bashed in out of absolutely nowhere.
Also in Green Inferno, when things are starting to calm down a bit after the plane crash and then Kara suddenly takes an arrow to the neck with no warning.
Come on, the car crash death in Neil Marshalls 'The Descent' was more shocking and out of the blue than almost all the film deaths in this list...
Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea?
That waa a good one too
Regarding The Rental, my problem is horror movies have become predictable that the villain wins in the end, or that at least the protagonists lose (like The Mist).
100% agree with you about this. I'm genuinely surprised now when someone survives the movie anymore.
This is a good list but I'd say the death of the girl suddenly hit by the bus in Final Destination counts as a death we never saw coming.
That was the first death that came to my mind when I read the title to the video !
y’all got the word “titular” stuck in my head
Wow thanks for the spoiler warning about Barbarian, I haven’t watched it yet and really want to. That earned a like and a sub

Thanks for the List & Video 😀
Dante's death in Jeepers Creepers 2 startled the hell out of me as a preteen
Barbarian was 1 of the worst horror films of the year. Total trash
The boy in M3gan, that gets hit by a car, really shocked me
It's literally in the trailer

It's still hilarious how much the studio realized they fucked up by killing Randy that they "brought him back" for the sequel
Did not expect the rental on this list
Maybe in retrospect, it doesn't feel like that big of a deal, but I'd argue Drew Barrymore getting offed in the opening scene of the original Scream is about as sudden as it gets. She got top billing for that movie and I remember thinking as I was watching it, she was definitely going to escape to set up the rest of the movie. The fact the movie had the balls to kill the top star at the very beginning of the movie was shocking at the time.

Ellie creed wasn't a surprise it was all over the marketing she was the one who dies so you knew that going in
Well before pet semetary came out they said they were going to have the older kid die because it would be more of a threat then the younger kid
Barbarian really shouldn't be on this list. The moment Keith went down there, all doubt that he wasn't going to die in the movie wemt away
Pet Semetary's twist was ruined by the trailers.
With Tara I was like oh there’s too much time left she done for it
Another is from “A quiet place” when the creature snatched the baby at the beginning.
Thanks for the wrning. I will watch the rest after Barbarian!
What about Vince from Scream (2022)
I know a lot of people didn’t like when Art just randomly pulled out a gun but I thought it was hilarious. You never see slasher killer basically just say “fuck it” and shoot them 😂
How bout that chick who had ur head spun around backwards in the third act of army of the dead (Bautistas love interest)
Suicide from The Return Of The Living Dead (1985) didn't expect him to die 😭
Emma Roberts in The Hunt. But I guess people actually liked it, LoL. Being a non American and non politics enthusiast, I enjoyed that movie a lot. Learn new things I didn't catch before the second time watching it.
I realize the target audience for this is very, very young but seriously: Omit Janet Leigh from "Psycho"? That death shocked the entire moviegoing planet in 1960.
Probably knew that the ceiling Candente like that version version but in short movie TV show form Stephen King shining version
How did you forget terry's death in final destination? that death was so quick and unexpected that I missed it the first time cuz I glanced down to look at my phone for like 5 seconds then I looked back up and her bloods on everyone
Tara got off lucky compared to her sister Vicky in Terrifier.
Barbarian was crazy as s#@&!!! LOVED all the craziness
I'm a simple man, I see art the clown and I click
Randy messed up. He should have known better.
