5 Heartbreaking Deaths In Slasher Movies

gamerant.com:

While horror fans expect the body counts to pile up in every slasher movie, there are some deaths that are really upsetting and sad to watch. These characters could be best friends with the final girls, family members who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, or people who appear onscreen only briefly and face a brutal end. While the killers in these movies are, of course, going to commit murder, there are some scenes that are especially difficult, painful, and emotional to watch.

From a major death in Scream (2022) that is still a shame for fans to think about to one of the people who Michael Myers kills in Halloween (1978), there are several slasher film deaths that are just as heartbreaking as they are an important part of the story.

5 Slasher Movies With Female Killers

Final girl Laurie Strode's (Jamie Lee Curtis) best friend Annie Brackett (Nancy Kyes) is trying to have a fun Halloween night when Michael Myers kills her from the backseat of her car. This death is really sad as Laurie, Annie, and Lynda Van der Klok (P.J. Soles) are good friends who really care about each other and seem to be having a happy, regular high school experience.

While a lot is going on in the Halloween movies, from the Halloween franchise timeline to the many times that Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield, Illinois to kill people, Annie's death is extra emotional. Laurie expected to have a normal evening babysitting and instead, she is mourning the loss of her two best friends, realizing that her life will never be the same again. Laurie also has to come to terms with Michael almost killing her, too.
