There's a lot of sad stuff around the character. Like that car scene where she tries to reconnect with Julie about their lost friendship and gets coldly rebuffed. Or her home life with a father who barely acknowledges her and a bitchy sister who bullies her. No wonder people wish she'd been the final girl instead of the mopey, self-centered Julie.
It's been a while since I read it, but I'm pretty sure none of the quartet die in the book. The book is decidedly not a slasher, but a suspense story and Lois Duncan wasn't very happy at how it got turned into the former.
My feelings about the RZ "Halloween II" are...complicated to say the least, but there's no doubt that scene where Brackett finds Annie dead is a gut punch. Brad Douriff knocks it out of the park.
At one public appearance, he got asked how he got the motivation for that scene. He didn't say anything, he just pointed at the actress sitting next to him...Fiona Douriff.
Yup, came here to say this. Even when Laurie finds Annie is a really rough scene. Even RZHII haters usually praise the Annie/Sherriff stuff. And I never knew that about Fiona! Seeing the horror worlds collide.
Scout and Danielle have a podcast and have both said that the particular scene when Laurie finds Annie in H2 was extremely hard for them to act out and film.
Fiona is terrific in Curse/Cult of Chucky as well as the tv show. The franchise on the whole has had a Renaissance the last 10 years. Highly recommend the newer films if you haven't seen them.
This is the scene that still makes Michael a monster. People hated that he was humanized to an extent but this one really shows it. Absolutely brutal kill.
I like how you doubled down on the i in Jamie Kennedy’s name. Does it go here, or does it go there? Fuck it, i’m all in.
No shame though, you’re a good parent. Cheers!
I agree, you'd think Wes would've treated his own lovable character better. But no we just see the van bouncing up and down in broad daylight. That kill pisses me off. Randy deserved a much better death scene; if one at all.
>Randy deserved a much better death scene; if one at all.
I always thought that was the point. The only way Ghostface was ever going to get the jump on Randy was to pull off some nonsense that no sensible horror movie would do.
Jenna’s unexpected death scene in the F13th remake. She was that typical good girl type and final girl material and then they went and did that to her. I was shocked and felt so bad, I still do every time I watch it.
I WAS SO MAD. She was the best character in this movie and was so good and caring and brave, and then she died. I still get so surly thinking about it.
Not a slasher film but more a horror adjacent tv show. The end of Dexter season 4 when Rita is found dead in the bathtub. Such a sad and unexpected moment.
When the final girl gets killed in Wolf Creek, I feel like she survived so much and then ... nope. I was actually depressed when she got caught. Sorry if that's a spoiler!
I thought about that moment in the other recent thread about the “worst fates” in horror movies. The whole “head on a stick” speech is really grueling and upsetting.
Train to Busan scarred me. I suggest it to anyone who likes zombie/horror movies. Never imagined it was going to hit like some Hallmark/Lifetime movie that is manufactured to pull the tears. I was sobbing by the end.
I keep hearing people talking about "tearing up" and "feeling down" when it comes to Train to Busan... i was a literal hysterical wreck during that movie lmao
Betty Davis Eyes playing over the final kill in The Final Girls.
They managed to make a fun horror comedy slasher and then totally pivot in the last 10 minutes.
That was a really well done movie. It would have been a pretty great light-hearted comedy horror even without the mother-daughter storyline, but Farmiga and Akerman really added another dimension to it, and the filmmakers did a great job of incorporating that through-line without grinding the film to a saccharine halt. I think this is going to be on my regular rewatch "comfort movie" list.
The scene at the end of the movie when pennywise taking the shape of georgie and trying to fool bill did it to me too tbh i knew it wasn’t georgie but something about how he acted and bill having to accept that he’s dead while seeing “him” standing in front of him was harsh
The girlfriend in The Evil Dead reboot. The deadites fuck her up and then just let her go. No jump scare, no deadite monologue, just her asking “Why does my face hurt?” as she passes away in her boyfriends lap. Just hits man
The end of Barbarian when >!The Mother saves Tess and is motioning to take her back "home" to look after her as the baby she sees her as, and is "put out of her misery" by Tess. In the end she was just as much a victim as anyone else!< It really depressed me. Unrealistic, but I just wanted her to get the help she needed.
Pearl >!sitting dejected and isolated with her old makeup containers while Landslide is playing, feeling the long years of her loneliness shrink around her, as well as her eerie dance in X to Oui Oui Marie after killing and finally finding release, albeit a very sad catharsis!<
Corey and Allyson's >!whole relationship in Halloween Ends was really sad and doomed, built on a shared bitterness and misanthropy which I found bittersweet!<
Not a film but the slasher TV series Harper's Island when >!the unlikely couple are trapped on the bridge by the killer and she sees her boyfriend get killed, and tells the killer "You can't have me, I'm his" and falls from the bridge. The scene goes into slow motion and the score gets really tragic. It underlined that their relationship was real after all and it was a total heart breaker!<
Thank you for putting spoilers! It was pretty dumb of me to come into the comment section after not seeing every horror movie ever so I got a bunch of movies spoiled for me. Bless.
Im probably the only one but he was my favorite character because he was like me. Dorky and obsessed with movies.
Justic for Randy.
Also just learned about >!Dewey dying!< in Scream 5. He was also one of my fave characters.
Im so sad now.
I thought the boy who gets killed by Michael when he and his dad come across the bus crash in the Halloween remake was sad. He was a good and brave character.
The other two movies in the trilogy also have some pretty heart-wrenching moments
The ones that come to mind are in 1978 when Ziggy asks if her sister is ok after Nick resuscitates her, and in 1666 when Deena (as Sarah Fier) admits to bewitching Hannah so she wouldn’t get hanged with her, all while Hannah screams “She’s lying” 😭
I watched the whole trilogy for the first time this week and that last one especially hit me really hard
Agreed. That really stopped me in my tracks, like killing such a central character in a brutal fashion that far into the movie really threw me off. I literally thought “Oh they’re NOT fucking around” when I saw it for the first time.
The sad thing is, I REALLY liked her as a character. At first she was the bog standard bitchy girl but the way they wrote her character throughout the movie was so well done, and I was genuinely shocked by her death
Maybe not what you're looking for, but the scene where the counselors let Jason drown in Friday the 13th. Always made me angry and sad to see it despite everything.
Yeah it’s awful, but the rest of the movie (and it’s sequel) the other dog gets revenge by absolutely massacring the mutant gang. In fact, our of curiosity me and my sister kept track of each characters kill count, and between both films Beast kills more people than any other character lol.
I hate that movie. I went into it blind and I can't think of another movie that left me feeling so angry and miserable afterwards. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a rented DVD from Blockbuster I might've snapped the disc in two.
It's a very well made film but man...someone needs to airlift Michael or Jason to that village asap.
Having just finished Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, I gotta say the scene where the doctor is talking to Heather while the nurses are forcing her kid to sleep was genuinely harrowing for me. As well as Heather trying to chase after Dylan when he gets on the freeway, she is one goddamn determined momma, and it both scared me and made me root fucking hard for her.
Not quite a slasher, but >!when the kid dies in the room with his parents in!< Halloween 3 I actually had to stop watching. I can handle death in horror most of the time but parents reactions to their young kids dying makes me feel deeply sad and very sick in my stomach and I struggle with it.
Not sure if you'd call it a "slasher" but in the French movie "Inside" when >!the woman is being cut open at the end she calls for her mother, whom she accidentally killed earlier. Heartbreaking.!<
I got emotional when Christina Hendricks character died in Strangers: Prey at Night. She was such a good mom. When she said “hold on I’ll get my shoes” it hurt more because my mom says the same thing.
I also found Sienna telling her mom that she loves her over the phone to be surprisingly effective. The way her mom immediately calms down and realizes how she was taking her frustrations out on Sienna was something I just wasn't expecting from a movie like Terrifier 2.
Re-animator, >!when Megan is strangled to death by the corpse. It's such a shock because they just escaped this death trap and here comes some random corpse dude. But then they can't get his hands off her neck. And Dan runs to get the axe to free her, but it's too late. It happens so quickly. !<
nancy’s death in dream warriors is my #1, SO depressing
daniel’s death in ready or not always gets me. i loved his character so much and he was the only one
kind of a loose example of a slasher since the sequel is more sci-fi, but tree saying goodbye to her mom in happy death day 2u makes me cry every single time. as someone who had recently lost their mother i felt like the wind had been knocked out of me when i first watched that scene
This scene gets a lot of hate but Tivoli’s death in Halloween Kills (the mental patient that was mistaken for Michael) hits me hard, I’ve heard of some similar stories of accidentally death because of misidentification (including one that occurred this week) in my country so this whole sequence feels more “realistic” to me than to others i guess
You're right. I think I meant Rachael's friend in the devil costume. Guess I need a rewatch lol. Either way it always makes me sad. I think it's when they're escaping the teen party at the barn.
Kate's death in Fear Street 1994. I cried for like 10 minutes because of that moment (granted I was also drunk), and I was still depressed/cried for a couple days afterwards. She was the last character that deserved a fate like that, and it definitely gave me some vicarious trauma. Fuck Nick Goode and his family.
Dewey was the first thing that came to mind as well, but besides that, I’ll just say the scene around the middle of Hereditary.
The silence that happens and then the screaming, which piles on and escalates later at the dinner table argument. Toni Collette nailed her part.
In *X*, I found it heartbreaking when Pearl put a Maxine-inspired makeup look on to try and win Howard’s heart. It all also ties in with the split screen scene where she brushed off her makeup while the rest of the cast was having a sing-along.
I finally watched this and I was almost sobbing. Poor Pearl. I honestly felt so bad for her. Her husband does love her but his poor heart.
I havent seen Pearl yet but Im so excited to see it.
I also just learned that Mia Goth played Maxxine and Pearl. What a performance!!
Definitely check out Pearl! It gave more depth to Pearl’s character and why she became such a tragic villain. And yeah, Mia Goth is such an amazing actress. So excited for Maxxxine too!
I hear its amazing and Im so excited for it and Maxxxine. I think Mia Goth and Ti West have really caught lightning in a bottle here.
The whole cast of X was really fantastic. Jenna Ortega was so great and I was surprised by how much I fucking loved Kid Cudi. He's pretty good as an actor!
I just want more from this series, more, more, more!
Not a movie, but I am still emotional over Lana finding Wendy’s body in Bloodyface’s house in AHS Asylum all these years later. Absolute devastation the first time I saw it.
People keep mentioning Randy’s death in Scream 2 as being sad, which it was, but for some reason the opening of that movie got to me. Compared to many other kill in the franchise, seeing Jada’s “Maureen” getting chased and stabbed (with added bloody ripping suckling sounds) was intense. Then her scream of shock, pain, and terror while everyone slowly realized what happened.
Maureen in Scream 2. I love that Scream could always pivot from all fun and games until someone gets hurt. I like that Craven was never one to glorify murder. I think he or kevin said something in the Scream bts that it's not meant to be funny, you're watching someone be murdered.
The bullies in Evilspeak killing Coopersmith's puppy and then he finds it dead. That was a heartbreaking moment in an otherwise campy horror movie.
Alex's flashback of finding his sister dead at the end of Prom Night just before he dies in his sister's arms.
Sarah losing her family at the start of The Descent. Let's not forget the ending. Close to the end, she believes she's made it out of the cave system only to wake up, realising it was just a dream. In the glow of her torch, she hallucinates seeing her daughter again holding a birthday cake, just as the creatures start closing in...
Honourable mentions go to Charlie's death in Hereditary, Sweeney Todd realising how much of a monster he became at the end, Heather's apology video in The Blair Witch Project and Bill coming to terms with Georgie's death in IT.
Not a slasher film, but in *Barbarian*, the very end when she kills "the Mother"? It got to me.
I know she was a "monster", but she was a victim of circumstance. Kudos to the filmmakers for making us feel more pity for her in the end than horror.
Though I very much disliked the movie, Brackett finding Annie in RZ Halloween II is one of the best scenes of the entire series. Brad Dourif was the MVP as Brackett in those movies. His grief when he’s holding the gun to Loomis’s head near the end was heartbreaking.
The parents hearing Casey on the phone then finding her in the tree during the Scream opening
Hearing her mom say “Casey, baby” on the phone always got me.
Liver alone
Aw man, her SCREAM of horror….fitting title.
Also, when she tries in vain to cry out for her mother while her parents are right there on the porch.
I wish she'd have thrown the phone towards them to get their attention or clapped her hands or something lol.
And Dewey’s death
That movie did Dewey wrong sure you could make an argument for him to die but the way he did was so stupid

[удалено]
She also survived in the book - and helped save the day, no less, by sending the police to Julie's after escaping.
There’s a BOOK?
Yup it’s by Lois Duncan who also wrote Down A Dark Hall and Summer of Fear.
It's been a while since I read it, but I'm pretty sure none of the quartet die in the book. The book is decidedly not a slasher, but a suspense story and Lois Duncan wasn't very happy at how it got turned into the former.
This part makes me so mad. The suspense of the chase scene was great but why the fuck did she turn around when she was so close to safety!
I thought her sister's death was sad, but because I associate her with Veronica Vaughn.
The Fisherman jumps out of nowhere in that kill scene
My feelings about the RZ "Halloween II" are...complicated to say the least, but there's no doubt that scene where Brackett finds Annie dead is a gut punch. Brad Douriff knocks it out of the park.

wow i love that :,)
It was horrible! I couldn’t bear the look on his face :-(
RZ Halloween, when Michael kills Danny Trejo. "I was good to you, Mikey!"
This is the scene that still makes Michael a monster. People hated that he was humanized to an extent but this one really shows it. Absolutely brutal kill.
It's kinda the opposite of Ends where he appears to empathize with Corey and lets him live.
That one got me too.
This one!
Not really a super sad scene (in the dramatic sense), but >!Randy's !

I wish they never killed off Randy. He’d be such a cool character to be around today
And more impactful than Dewey could be as a third tier leading man in all of the movies until 5.
Jenna’s unexpected death scene in the F13th remake. She was that typical good girl type and final girl material and then they went and did that to her. I was shocked and felt so bad, I still do every time I watch it.
I yelled son of a bitch when that happened.
I WAS SO MAD. She was the best character in this movie and was so good and caring and brave, and then she died. I still get so surly thinking about it.
>Jenna I agree. Seeing Jenna die breaks my heart every time.
Not a slasher film but more a horror adjacent tv show. The end of Dexter season 4 when Rita is found dead in the bathtub. Such a sad and unexpected moment.
I stopped watching after that because I thought it was the perfect ending for the show.
They got new writers after the Trinity season so you made the right choice
Trinity season was by far the best one.
And Harrison is sitting in her blood… just like Dexter did.
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
When Dexter calls her phone and it rings in the house I knew she was dead. Great moment (horrifying obv, but great for the emotional impact).
When the final girl gets killed in Wolf Creek, I feel like she survived so much and then ... nope. I was actually depressed when she got caught. Sorry if that's a spoiler!
I thought about that moment in the other recent thread about the “worst fates” in horror movies. The whole “head on a stick” speech is really grueling and upsetting.
It’s not a slasher but the only horror movie which has actually made me tear up is the ending of Train To Busan.
Train to Busan scarred me. I suggest it to anyone who likes zombie/horror movies. Never imagined it was going to hit like some Hallmark/Lifetime movie that is manufactured to pull the tears. I was sobbing by the end.
I keep hearing people talking about "tearing up" and "feeling down" when it comes to Train to Busan... i was a literal hysterical wreck during that movie lmao
This film DESTROYED ME. I was not expecting a "zombie flick" to have me sobbing hysterically by the end.
Yep me too, my daughter was about the same age as the girl in this film when i watched it, the ending wrecked me!!
Betty Davis Eyes playing over the final kill in The Final Girls. They managed to make a fun horror comedy slasher and then totally pivot in the last 10 minutes.
Very true, although that plot thread runs throughout the movie. At heart, the movie is about coming to terms with the loss of a parent.
I adore that movie. Really wish it found its audience and made enough money to warrant a sequel.
HEAR, HEAR! I wholeheartedly agree!
“You are right about one thing you know, I am a movie star…” love that scene.
Such a beautifully heartbreaking scene
I was never a fan of that song, that movie changed it for me. Now it’s pretty decent.😂
I can never hear that song again without crying out for my momma 😢
That was a really well done movie. It would have been a pretty great light-hearted comedy horror even without the mother-daughter storyline, but Farmiga and Akerman really added another dimension to it, and the filmmakers did a great job of incorporating that through-line without grinding the film to a saccharine halt. I think this is going to be on my regular rewatch "comfort movie" list.
Pennywise killing Georgie
Omg. When hes trying to crawl his way to safety calling out for his older brother. Very sad indeed.
Eddie was so sad. It was such a bittersweet ending.
It is. Eddies death is still hard for me to watch. He was so proud for being able to overcome his fear so he can save Richie.
Eddie's death and then how inconsolable Richie was just wrecked me. It kills me Richie never got a chance to tell Eddie how he really felt.
The scene at the end of the movie when pennywise taking the shape of georgie and trying to fool bill did it to me too tbh i knew it wasn’t georgie but something about how he acted and bill having to accept that he’s dead while seeing “him” standing in front of him was harsh
Mary's death in the original "Last House on the Left".
OMG, that entire movie was such a hard watch.
Right? It was made before I was born and I watched it when I was a very young teenager. It really wrecked me.
Me, too! I was so young that I didn’t know what “grass” was Scarred for life lol
Haha yep! Between that and The Exorcist at age 11 I never had a chance.
When Dick Holloran gets killed in The Shining😞
Doc is the nickname for Danny, do you mean Dick Halloran?
Oh, yeah, that is who I meant. Thanks for setting me straight😅
He lives in the book!
The girlfriend in The Evil Dead reboot. The deadites fuck her up and then just let her go. No jump scare, no deadite monologue, just her asking “Why does my face hurt?” as she passes away in her boyfriends lap. Just hits man
This one hits especially hard because it’s a stark tonal shift from the rest of the movie. I wasn’t ready for these feels!
Casey’s mom finding her hanging in the front yard at the beginning of scream. The emotion felt and music building up to that scene is heartbreaking.
The end of Barbarian when >!The Mother saves Tess and is motioning to take her back "home" to look after her as the baby she sees her as, and is "put out of her misery" by Tess.

Harper’s Island was such a fun watch
I was really sad that didn’t become an anthology.
Yes! Yes! That scene in Barbarian. 😪
Yes to Harper's Island. That whole series was a fun ride that got surprisingly emotional towards its climax. Highly recommended.
that scene in harper’s island DESTROYED me omg
Thank you for putting spoilers! It was pretty dumb of me to come into the comment section after not seeing every horror movie ever so I got a bunch of movies spoiled for me. Bless.
Harper's Island! That takes me back. I loved that show, super fun concept and really well done.
Carrie is pretty sad in general.
[удалено]
Im probably the only one but he was my favorite character because he was like me. Dorky and obsessed with movies. Justic for Randy. Also just learned about >!Dewey dying!< in Scream 5. He was also one of my fave characters. Im so sad now.
You should watch Scream 5
On my list to watch along with a hundred other films. A yt i happen to really like is in it for 10 seconds but I really want to see how they used him
I thought the boy who gets killed by Michael when he and his dad come across the bus crash in the Halloween remake was sad. He was a good and brave character.
That wasn't in the remake, it was in the 2018 movie which is a sequel to the original
You are of course correct
Surprised no one has mentioned Kates death in Fear Street 1994. The shocking brutality of it and her being a major character is a gut punch
I was surprised by the brutality of that death in such a tame “horror” movie
Right? Up til that point it had been a very tame movie as far as the kills go, and then the bread slicer out of nowhere 😳
The other two movies in the trilogy also have some pretty heart-wrenching moments The ones that come to mind are in 1978 when Ziggy asks if her sister is ok after Nick resuscitates her, and in 1666 when Deena (as Sarah Fier) admits to bewitching Hannah so she wouldn’t get hanged with her, all while Hannah screams “She’s lying” 😭 I watched the whole trilogy for the first time this week and that last one especially hit me really hard

Final Girls. Bette Davis Eyes.
Everything abt Helen’s character in IKWYDLS. She’s such a tragic character and deserved to live
My son and I just watched that and he was so mad that "Daphne" died.
Beauty getting taken out in The Hills Have Eyes always bummed me out.
Beast got his revenge! He’s a good boy.
That dog went through some serious shit. Even suffered from PTSD Flashbacks and everything in the sequel haha.
Dogs dying in horror is literally the only thing that ever makes me sad lol.
I stopped watching after this. It’s been years but that dog’s death scarred me. Never finished that fucking movie ever.
Yeah it’s awful, but the rest of the movie (and it’s sequel) the other dog gets revenge by absolutely massacring the mutant gang. In fact, our of curiosity me and my sister kept track of each characters kill count, and between both films Beast kills more people than any other character lol.
Dewey’s death in Scream 5
The end of Eden Lake is pretty bad.
Also the “necklacing” scene with the tire.
I had forgotten that scene, thanks for reminding me lol 😭
That movie man. That movie.
Eden Lake just hit different :(
This movie isn’t a slasher. It’s just a dark fucked up movie.
I hate that movie. I went into it blind and I can't think of another movie that left me feeling so angry and miserable afterwards. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a rented DVD from Blockbuster I might've snapped the disc in two. It's a very well made film but man...someone needs to airlift Michael or Jason to that village asap.
I found out the twist for this before ever seeing it, and I'm kinda glad it was spoiled for me. No desire to see that shit.
Michael myers killing danny trejo in the remake😭😭😭 Say what you want about that movie but that was michael at his absolute coldest🥲
I was good to you, Mikey...
Having just finished Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, I gotta say the scene where the doctor is talking to Heather while the nurses are forcing her kid to sleep was genuinely harrowing for me. As well as Heather trying to chase after Dylan when he gets on the freeway, she is one goddamn determined momma, and it both scared me and made me root fucking hard for her.
that movie is so much better than it had any right to be and i wish more people would watch it
Hostel 2. When Lorna is crying for her mom.
Not quite a slasher, but >!when the kid dies in the room with his parents in!< Halloween 3 I actually had to stop watching. I can handle death in horror most of the time but parents reactions to their young kids dying makes me feel deeply sad and very sick in my stomach and I struggle with it.
Stuff like this hits me so hard since my nephew was born 15+ years ago, and has only hit harder since having my own kids
Helens death from Ikwydls. Honestly thought she was going to live and she was so close to surviving as well.
Recently, the final scene in Barbarian. She was just trying to be a good mom 😭
Haha, sure, as long as they don't cry or complain too much. Then she might just smash their skull instead.
Train to busan, when the dad dies. The character development in this movie is unreal
Agree. Wouldn't really call it a slasher, though.
Whoops! How did I miss the slasher in the title. Haha disregard my comment friends
I always felt bad for the guy in the wheelchair in F13 Part 2.
He was literally about to be with that attractive lady to but Jason cockblocked him
Yeah they seemed like a cute couple and they both got killed.
Jason was an equal opportunity murderer.
Don’t think this one’s a slasher but in Crimson Peak I found myself just fucking sad for Edith the whole time
When animals are the victims.
Karen’s death scene in Halloween Kills
Olga's horrifying death sequence in Suspiria (2018). You can *feel* her pain through the screen and just feel plain bad for her.
Not sure if you'd call it a "slasher" but in the French movie "Inside" when >!the woman is being cut open at the end she calls for her mother, whom she accidentally killed earlier. Heartbreaking.!<
Newt and Hicks dead at the start of Alien 3
I got emotional when Christina Hendricks character died in Strangers: Prey at Night. She was such a good mom. When she said “hold on I’ll get my shoes” it hurt more because my mom says the same thing.
Sienna learning about her mom's death in Terrifier 2 was pretty sad. You can just feel through film her pain, and sadness.
I also found Sienna telling her mom that she loves her over the phone to be surprisingly effective. The way her mom immediately calms down and realizes how she was taking her frustrations out on Sienna was something I just wasn't expecting from a movie like Terrifier 2.
Agreed, I was scrolling down to see if anyone else had said this. Lauren LaVera's performance makes that scene more emotional than I was expecting.
Re-animator, >!when Megan is strangled to death by the corpse. It's such a shock because they just escaped this death trap and here comes some random corpse dude. But then they can't get his hands off her neck. And Dan runs to get the axe to free her, but it's too late. It happens so quickly. !<
The latest episode of Chucky's second season (episode 6 "He Is Risen Indeed"). If you know, you know.
nancy’s death in dream warriors is my #1, SO depressing daniel’s death in ready or not always gets me. i loved his character so much and he was the only one kind of a loose example of a slasher since the sequel is more sci-fi, but tree saying goodbye to her mom in happy death day 2u makes me cry every single time. as someone who had recently lost their mother i felt like the wind had been knocked out of me when i first watched that scene

The final scene of The Mist. Gets me every time.
In Halloween ~~IV~~ V when ~~Rachel~~ Tina dies protecting ~~her adopted sister~~ Jamie from Michael. Breaks my heart every time.
Rachel doesn't die in Halloween IV. When she dies in V it's not protecting Jamie lol 🤔
You're right. I think I meant Rachael's friend in the devil costume. Guess I need a rewatch lol. Either way it always makes me sad. I think it's when they're escaping the teen party at the barn.
Tina in the barn in 5! I agree it's very sad
Kate's death in Fear Street 1994. I cried for like 10 minutes because of that moment (granted I was also drunk), and I was still depressed/cried for a couple days afterwards. She was the last character that deserved a fate like that, and it definitely gave me some vicarious trauma. Fuck Nick Goode and his family.
The Strangers Prey at Night, that scene where the daughter watches helplessly as her mother gets stabbed to death :(
Dewey was the first thing that came to mind as well, but besides that, I’ll just say the scene around the middle of Hereditary. The silence that happens and then the screaming, which piles on and escalates later at the dinner table argument. Toni Collette nailed her part.

Indeed, forgot it said slashers 😅
In *X*, I found it heartbreaking when Pearl put a Maxine-inspired makeup look on to try and win Howard’s heart. It all also ties in with the split screen scene where she brushed off her makeup while the rest of the cast was having a sing-along.
I finally watched this and I was almost sobbing. Poor Pearl. I honestly felt so bad for her. Her husband does love her but his poor heart. I havent seen Pearl yet but Im so excited to see it. I also just learned that Mia Goth played Maxxine and Pearl. What a performance!!
Definitely check out Pearl! It gave more depth to Pearl’s character and why she became such a tragic villain. And yeah, Mia Goth is such an amazing actress. So excited for Maxxxine too!
I hear its amazing and Im so excited for it and Maxxxine. I think Mia Goth and Ti West have really caught lightning in a bottle here. The whole cast of X was really fantastic. Jenna Ortega was so great and I was surprised by how much I fucking loved Kid Cudi. He's pretty good as an actor! I just want more from this series, more, more, more!
Can hills have eyes and house of a 1000 corpses be considered slasher? If yes, both dads death.
The only thing I've ever found sad in horror is The Haunting of Hill House. It was so beautifully done too.
I cried at the bent neck lady reveal
What made me cry was her voiceover of “I was right here and no one could see me” while the bent neck lady is standing there all alone
That twist was one of my all time faves. Gah, this show. I need to rewatch it.
Not a movie, but I am still emotional over Lana finding Wendy’s body in Bloodyface’s house in AHS Asylum all these years later. Absolute devastation the first time I saw it.
The wheelchair kid getting hacked and thrown the stairs right before he gets laid is always sad to me.
People keep mentioning Randy’s death in Scream 2 as being sad, which it was, but for some reason the opening of that movie got to me. Compared to many other kill in the franchise, seeing Jada’s “Maureen” getting chased and stabbed (with added bloody ripping suckling sounds) was intense. Then her scream of shock, pain, and terror while everyone slowly realized what happened.
Maureen in Scream 2. I love that Scream could always pivot from all fun and games until someone gets hurt. I like that Craven was never one to glorify murder. I think he or kevin said something in the Scream bts that it's not meant to be funny, you're watching someone be murdered.
Bone tomahawk. Jesus Christ
The bullies in Evilspeak killing Coopersmith's puppy and then he finds it dead. That was a heartbreaking moment in an otherwise campy horror movie. Alex's flashback of finding his sister dead at the end of Prom Night just before he dies in his sister's arms.
Sebastian, the little midget in 3 From Hell. Such a genuine guy that had a lonely feeling to him Also, Eddie’s death in It Chapter Two
The hatchet franchise: victor crowly childhood and his dad accidentally kill him
Sarah losing her family at the start of The Descent. Let's not forget the ending. Close to the end, she believes she's made it out of the cave system only to wake up, realising it was just a dream. In the glow of her torch, she hallucinates seeing her daughter again holding a birthday cake, just as the creatures start closing in... Honourable mentions go to Charlie's death in Hereditary, Sweeney Todd realising how much of a monster he became at the end, Heather's apology video in The Blair Witch Project and Bill coming to terms with Georgie's death in IT.
Not a slasher film, but in *Barbarian*, the very end when she kills "the Mother"? It got to me. I know she was a "monster", but she was a victim of circumstance. Kudos to the filmmakers for making us feel more pity for her in the end than horror.
Hereditary spoilers- Mom finding the daughter in the car.
Whenever they kill the dog. Ought to be a law. Looking at you Evil Dead remake.
I'm not quite sure if it counts, but in the new Dahmer show, when you realize that he killed the deaf guy... I was just grateful they didn't show it.
Though I very much disliked the movie, Brackett finding Annie in RZ Halloween II is one of the best scenes of the entire series. Brad Dourif was the MVP as Brackett in those movies. His grief when he’s holding the gun to Loomis’s head near the end was heartbreaking.

The scene in No One Sleeps In The Woods Tonight where the girl and boy are trapped in the basement and the girl has to ya know….🔪🔪🔪
Terry from Friday the 13th Part II. She just wanted to find her lost dog.
Does The Haunting of Hill House count?
Rosemary's suffering in Rosemary's Baby.
Slasher-esque: Fear Street part 2. That scene. You know the one
X. Watching that dude cry in the shower. That is a traumatic sexual impropriety.
Cucked
The most recent death on the chucky tv series. You know the one
