extraterrestrial threat Hanson is
fortunately able to pull one over on
these horrifying space creatures over
here number eight lieutenant Don
Thompson a Nightmare on Elm Street tell
me it’s another one lieutenant Thompson
I’m sorry to wake you but I’ve never
seen anything like this before in my
life
law enforcement officers don’t come any
more clueless than this horror movie
Sheriff you really can’t blame him
though
since the supernatural killer of this
franchise strikes in the dream realm an
unsolved murder I don’t like us all
ones that my daughter’s mixed up in
sheriff Thompson sorta takes a backseat
to Freddy Krueger’s crimes and watches
helplessly as the past comes back to
haunt him and terrifying events take
place in his sleepy little town just
tell me who did it I’ll go get him baby
Fred Krueger did it daddy only I can get
him it’s my nightmare he comes but the
fact that he’s the father of protagonist
Nancy Thompson and has a history with
the child killer makes him hard to
extricate from the series daddy you use
me what the hell were you doing going to
school today for anyway
number 7 sheriff john quincy widel the
Devil’s Rejects this is sheriff Joe
Quincy why down
Rob Zombie’s films aren’t for the faint
of heart and this one ups the ante in
terms of for two – sex and violence
which is great if you’re into that sort
of thing
advise you to lower that weapon I’m
sorry sheriff doing it in the Devil’s
Rejects zombie plays with the tropes of
the horror genre while taking it to the
limit with sheriff y del the Texan
starts off as a driven and focused
officer out to catch the eponymous
naired Wells but as the film goes on we
see him go over the edge when he uses
the group’s own tactics against what’s
going on shitheads Sheriff
there’s a list of names I need you to
run down for me that’s a funny ass name
you can talk in Rondo number six
sheriff Evan Olson 30 days of night we
have more important things to think
about
I’ll check her Gus Gekko Gus when your
town is overrun by blood-suckin critters
you want someone like sheriff holes and
on your side to give the baddies the
boot this is sure Evan Coulson stay in
your homes lock your doors vampires are
always tricky things to handle but when
you live in a place that’s submerged in
darkness for weeks on end it can be a
real nuisance with all the Moxie of a
classic action hero Evan Olson takes
matters into his own hands and hunts
down and brutally kills the undead in
his town I can’t fight him Allah
he uses all kinds of trickery to get the
better of them including sinking down to
their level in order to win
number five sheriff Hank Keough Lake
Placid just that like sarcastic cuz I
know would you fish and game guys
thinking County Sheriff’s Lake flaccid
wasn’t much the same vein as screen when
it came to parodying the horror genre we
don’t mean to invade your privacy but
was he ill
was he sick was he swallowed while the
film isn’t all out slapstick it’s still
pokes fun at convention I’m going to say
this because I believe in being straight
with people I think you are a Manito
when a giant crocodile seems to be
eating most of the citizens of a sleepy
town care Keo starts looking into things
crackin up stay right here until the
police show you’re under full house
arrest Thank You officer meat he’s very
much like jaws is Sheriff Brody in that
he takes matters into his own hands
though he does get some help from
Florida Fish and Game so sheriff sheriff
you got to fire your big gun finally was
it fun overrated number four Sheriff
Leigh Brackett Halloween Rodney I’m
Loomis dr. Sam Loomis I pay Brackett I’d
like to have a word with if I could
sheriff Brackett is one of the earliest
slasher film cops and as such set a
precedent for the entire genre excuse me
Lord mr. Brackett I’m sorry mr. Brett oh
I didn’t mean to startle you
that’s alright you know Sala ween I
guess everyone’s entitled one good scare
up while not completely useless Brackett
is always pretty far behind the action
and struggles to keep up with the
murderous killer in his town death has
come to your little town sheriff
you can either ignore it you can help me
to stop it more fancy talk after dr.
Loomis warns the sheriff of Michael
Myers arrival it’s only after the murder
of a bunch of teens that he really tries
to Keane up doc I’m sorry if I don’t
sound too concerned but a dead coyote
and a missing headstone doesn’t prove
anything you’re wrong sir I think it
does and it’s pretty much the same deal
for the character in the 2007
reimagining of Halloween yeah
sheriff Brackett hello if you can hear
me pick up please if you can hear me I
need to talk to you immediately
number three Texas Ranger Earl McGraw
from dusk till dawn and planet terror
crash yuebuqun through earlier time
Texas Ranger McGraw is a shared
character in the cinematic universes of
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez
while he isn’t an active character in
Kill Bill or death Proof he is given
interesting scenes whose ran though
McGraw doesn’t get too far in
Rodriguez’s flicks as shown in from dusk
till dawn where he gets his head blown
off or in flatted terror where he must
fight hordes of zombies
he’s certainly hard to forget and that
must be why he keeps getting brought
back sure
I’m something else you’re gonna be all
right McGraw is here and a whole bunch
of others
number two chief Martin Brody jaws
listen chief
be careful we’re in this town maybe one
of the very first templates of a horror
movie law enforcement officer amis very
own police chief Brody takes a far more
active role in the mayhem going on in
his town what about the beaches chief
we’re going to put on this summer the
extra summer deputies as soon as
possible and then we’re gonna try and
use the shark spotters on the beach
instead of being two or three steps
behind the killer or a monster Brody
with the help of a couple of friendly
faces seeks out the menace and in this
case it’s a giant white shark that he
puts a few harpoons into before blowing
it up in a final climactic scene
why are you son of a
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions looks can be
deceiving
