Top 10 Saddest Deaths In Horror Movies

The Top Ten
1 Carrie (Sissy Spacek) - Carrie

I hate bullies! Not to mention everyone laughed at her when she won the Senior Prom Queen after she was covered in red paint or blood! Poor Carrie! I would beat up those stupid bullies for pushing Carrie too far! I would be her friend if I had to! Bullies are nothing but jerks and snobs who have no respect on introverts like me and Carrie!

Carrie isn't evil. She's just angry because she came in contact with the wrong people. If only someone had been nice to her.

I'm an introverted girl who's been picked on a lot in my high school days. Carrie needed someone to support her.

It's so sad that Carrie died. She didn't deserve it and she was just an innocent, shy, meek, outcast

2 Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) - Alien 3 Ellen Louise Ripley is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Alien film series played by American actress Sigourney Weaver.

I adore Alien franchise. Ellen Ripley is definitely one of the greatest characters ever. Her "final" in Alien 3 was predictable but they made it look sad and very touching

3 Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) - I Know What You Did Last Summer

Definitely the greatest character in this film. I hate this film because best (most interesting) characters were killed and 2 most annoying ones survived. Anyway, Sarah shines in ths film

She was just an innocent girl who was scared, her death was so sad.

4 Mama (Cordy Clark) - The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

I always loved and respected old grannies and can't see when anybody diss them. Not to mention kill

She should have lived!

5 Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) - Scream

She only had like 10 minutes of screen time but I loved her so much.

6 Gage Creed (Miko Hughes) - Pet Semetary

Both the 1st and 2nd deaths of Gage were so sad! I bawled that night I watched the movie (which happened to be yesterday) especially his 2nd death when he then becomes dead forever! Such an innocent cute little boy wasted! SO SAD!

Louis's young son Gage is tragically run over by a truck on the same road during a picnic and is killed, the scene where the truck comes at Gage always shocked me as a youngster.

I nearly cried watching this part. The little shoe bouncing across the road, the dads reaction, the flashback memories. It was so sad!

7 Newt (Danielle Edmond) - Alien 3

Danielle didn't even act. She played a corpse but we all were shocked because we loved Newt (played by sweet Carrie Henn) in Aliens

8 Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Well, it was more like "transformation into evil" but I loved this character so much. It was sad when she died as good woman

9 George Denbrough (Tony Dakota) - It

So sad and violent. Especially in the 2017 remake.

10 Eddie Kaspbrak (James Ronsone) - It: Chapter 2

So sad. Eddie didn't deserve to die. Richie was devastated.

The Newcomers

? Charlie Graham (Milly Shapiro) - Hereditary
The Contenders
11 Brenda (Susan Lanier) - The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

She was beautiful. She had a horrible ending

Did she really die?

She didn't die

12 Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) - The Fly

Whether it's sadness or pity, this is the only death on the list that had me feeling anything at all.

The most tragic scene in cinema. Hands down. The music, Brundlefly's obvious pain...it's such a tearjerker.

13 Sam the Dog - I Am Legend
14 Rebecca (Alison Brie) - Scream 4
15 Mitch Roussel (Moses Jacob Storm) - Unfriended
16 Vincent Grey (Donnie Wahlberg) - The Sixth Sense

I actually felt really bad for him. He was dealing with a lot and he didn't get the help he needed. Plus, similar to Cole Sear, he was tormented by ghosts. It drove him mad and he not only kills his psychologist but also takes his own life.

17 Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy) - Scream 2

He deserved the luxury Dewie,Gal,and and Sidney get! We need a comedy character that isn't awful!

18 Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui) - Wrong Turn

She was my favorite character but I realized that she must have died

19 Alice Hardy (Friday the 13th 2)

Who wouldn't be sad to see a final girl in a Luke Skywalker cosplay die?

20 Marge (Martha Swatek) - Jaws 2
21 Su-yeon (Geun-young Moon) - A Tale of Two Sisters

In my oponion, this film was the most saddest and beautiful horror film I'm ever seen. The script are complicate so you have to watch it many times. Maybe the first part wasn't rousing you enough, but when til to the end of the film, after you final relized Su-yeon has die many years ago and the closet scene was make me frustrated. It even make me burst to tears. If someone think horror films are nonsense, I think just let them watch "A tale of two sister".

Well... after watching this. I have cried. In my opinion, this film was so gorgeous and brillant, unique and beautiful story. At the end of the film have such a big revealation that even make me cry (although I don't like to cry). My rate point will be 10/10, I think it totally deserve it.

At the end of the film, it even make you more depressed because of the soundtrack. You can't hold tears at that moment. The more you appreciate the movie the more you sad.

22 Samara Morgan (Daveigh Chase) - The Ring Sadako Yamamura, also known as Park Eun-suh and Samara Morgan, is the central antagonist of Koji Suzuki's Ring novel series and the film franchise.
23 Marty Mikalski (Fran Kranz) - Cabin In the Woods

Marty was funny and awesome through the whole movie it was just sad how he died at the end

24 Wade Dalton (Jared Padelecki) - House of Wax

Pretty good movie but he was a really good character and the movie would be a lot better if he lasted a little longer. Good movie anyways

25 Tiffany Ray (Jennifer Tilly) - Bride of Chucky

Tiffany's death was sad in my opinion. But I love her more as a doll than a human. How can that horrible Chucky kill his only love. Pure evil! Oh By the way, did they ever find her body in the bathtub?
