this is where things get bloody welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
epic final showdown in horror movies
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we selected the
most memorable and well executed
climactic sequences of the horror genre
since these scenes all take place near
the end of the film we should warn you
that some key moments in these movies
will be spoiled number 10 Sidney
Prescott vs. Billy Loomis and Stu mocker
scream what’s the matter Sidney you look
like you’ve seen a goat
double-teaming is never fair but when
there are a couple of psychopaths in the
mix fair is not how the game is played
billions – are a little too into scary
movies as they try to reenact one in
order to get revenge on Sidney for the
sins of her mother after Billy and
Sidney sleep together she is no longer a
virgin which means that she cannot
survive at least according to their
rules we did your mama favor said that
woman was a slutbag whore slashed her
shit all over town like she was Sharon
Stone or something however Sidney is
smarter than they think and definitely
uses her intelligence to outsmart them
culminating in a reversal of identity
when Sidney dispatches her ex in the
very costume he terrorized Woodsboro
with don’t expect him to go down without
one final scare though number nine
Laurie Strode vs. Michael Myers
Halloween h2o 20 years later it took 20
years for these two horror icons to have
proper showdown but it was certainly
worth the wait deciding that it’s time
to end her brothers reign of terror
Laurie exudes the bravery and
intelligence we remember her for and
uses these to bring him down despite a
few close calls she remains one step
ahead of the stalker ultimately subduing
him
[Music]
smart enough to know that he’s still not
out she hijacks a coroner’s van crashes
it and decapitates him as the classic
Halloween theme plays the pacing and
choreography echo back to what made the
original great and this would have
served as the perfect series finale
if only the powers that be had in a more
damn sequel matter number eight Jay Paul
Kelly and Yara versus the entity it
follows all I wanna get out no beginning
oh I don’t want to do this I just want
to get out battling a mysterious and
almost entirely invisible entity would
undoubtedly make for an unforgettable
climax case in point the antagonist of
it follows is never fully explained we
know that it’s an entity that’s passed
along and can appear as anybody and well
it follows its victim
when Jay is targeted she and her friends
attempt to corner it in a pool and
electrocute it admittedly it’s not the
smartest plan on this list and at first
it backfires pretty badly in fact
somebody out there no but once Paul was
able to locate the entity he manages to
fire two bullets into his head
effectively ending the curse Oh God
we’re going to be looking over our
shoulders for weeks now
number seven RJ McCready versus the
thing the thing Kurt Russell was one of
the major badasses of the 1980s so it’s
no surprise that one of his most
terrific outing found its way onto this
list after a shape-shifting Antarctic
creature claims the lives of most of his
research crew RJ is forced to go
toe-to-toe with a titular beast a
formidable foe
it reveals its grotesque true self
complete with astounding practical
effects topped off by the directing of
the legendary John Carpenter having
recently discovered its weakness to fire
McCready delivers one stalwart line
before sending the entire base up in an
explosion it’s brief but meticulously
shot and the dark implications of the
loss of the base speak for themselves
number six Father Damien Karras versus
Pazuzu The Exorcist
price compelled rule few cinematic
experiences are more disturbing than
seeing the young girl Regan possessed by
the demon Pazuzu
the infamous moments are two numerable
to list here but all of the taunting
finally leads to this climactic exorcism
deeming Damien too weak his partner the
older father Merrin tries to take on the
demon by himself but he dies in the
process leaving the younger more naive
priest to finish the job
Damien utilizes more brutal methods than
the elder Chris does and in the process
manages to trick Pazuzu into possessing
him instead he is successful and saves
the little girl during himself out the
window to put an end to the MacNeil
family’s horror number 5 Freddy Krueger
vs. Jason Voorhees Freddy vs. Jason God
as far as horror showdowns go you really
can’t beat to slash our icons duking it
out
so both franchises had solid show downs
in their fourth entries this one
certainly takes the cake admittedly it’s
rather difficult to root for either of
these villains but the sheer spectacle
of the battles delivers on the promise
of the title Freddy speed intelligence
and creepy kookiness are showcased as
our Jason’s strength and invulnerability
neither really keeps the upper hand for
long keeping the audience guessing which
one will win in the end they both end up
at the bottom of Crystal Lake at least
until that shocking ending that is
number four MIA Allen versus the
abomination evil dead ashes easily one
of Horrors most badass characters and
his showdown with his evil counterpart
is legendary however the series reboot
delivered a showdown that encapsulates
all of the franchise’s best element
while also giving us a little something
new after the audience assumes Mia is
doomed her brother David saves her seems
David is poised to be the next Ashe but
he soon dies after leaving Mia to
overcome the powerful demon on her own
in a literally blood-drenched battle
when white isn’t an option she chooses
fight which requires the removal of her
own hand this scene may janely be a true
scream queen and you really can’t say
she doesn’t deserve the title
[Applause]
come his mother first number three chief
Martin Brody vs. Jaws jaws the summer of
1975 had strangely low turnouts at
beaches this was for the most part
because that was when jaws became the
first bona fide blockbuster three men
head into the water to battle the
enormous beast but in the end she Brody
is left on a boat sinking right into the
shark’s clutches with his options
growing ever fewer he climbs on to the
barely above water mast to desperately
continue fending it off luckily Brody
then become a chief for nothing he had
earlier managed to launch a scuba tank
into the shark’s mouth and after
shooting it it bursts into a bloody and
watery explosion that turns the aquatic
villain into Chum saving Amity Island
number two everything versus everyone
the cabin in the woods means we fashion
this may be stretching the definition of
showdown since it’s really more of a
slaughter fest
but we can’t ignore the finale of the
Joss Whedon produced satirical horror
masterpiece the facility has been
releasing a wide array of horror
villains onto unsuspecting teenagers in
an attempt to please the Ancient Ones
when Dana and Marty let these villains
loose on the facility there’s something
for every horror fan as we watch them
tear everything to shreds
literally you’d have to rewind the scene
multiple times to catch all the
illusions to both modern and classic
horror cinema but it’s really worth it
perfectly encapsulating the movies scary
yet funny tone the scene has quickly
become a fun Easter egg hunt for fans of
the genre
before we unveil our top picks here are
a few honorable mentions I command you
to reveal yourself
[Music]
number one Ellen Ripley versus the alien
queen aliens get away from her you bitch
when the xenomorph queen tries to attack
the little girl you’ve been protecting
there’s only one thing to say James
Cameron’s arguably superior sequel to
the sci-fi horror epic manages to up the
ante by introducing more formidable
villains for our tough heroine to combat
though it seems Newt is about to be lost
Ellen storms into the cargo loader and
gives the Evil Queen her comeuppance
knocking her out into space this movie
particularly this scene is considered to
be a huge step forward for women in the
action genre and Sigourney Weaver even
nabbed an Oscar nomination for these
reasons and the obvious merit of the
epic scene itself it was an easy pick
for our number one spot
