for this list we’re looking at horror
movie endings that were shocking
confusing strange or all of the above
most importantly these movies left us
with three letters in our head these
endings weren’t necessarily bad in fact
most of them actually work quite well
also it should be pretty obvious but
there are some major spoilers ahead
number 10
one of the great things about horror is
that when you go into a scary movie you
know it could have either a happy ending
or a horrible ending after giving us
plenty of creature feature action The
Descent plays with this expectation
having left Juno to die
Sarah falls further down the cave before
seeing a miraculous ray of light
following it she escapes the cave with
an intake of air
triumphant music swells as the desperate
heroine locates her car and drives away
before pulling over to break down but
with a single jump scare all hope is
dashed as it’s revealed Sara is actually
still trapped in the cave unlikely to
survive number 9 the basement the Blair
when josh goes missing Mike and Heather
begin to descend into hysteria all signs
point to the Blair Witch being very real
and tormenting the filmmakers despite
this heatherandmike designed to follow
Josh’s screams to a dilapidated house
the ghastly final moments of the film
indicate they’ve walked directly into
the clutches of something Mike drops his
camera in the basement and Heather
letting out some shudder inducing
screams locates him facing a corner she
drops the camera and cut to black
although this is a throwback to an
earlier story in the movie about
children being murdered after being
forced in the corner is that really what
after an encounter with the witch in the
barn Thomason awakens with bloodied
hands
the twins nowhere to be found and the
farm in disarray the strange goat black
Phillip Gore’s William with his horn
causing Catherine to believe that
Thomason is the witch they struggle with
Thomason ultimately forced to kill her
own mother with no other options
Thomason conjures black Phillip to speak
to her a figure emerges and she agrees
to sign a contract in exchange for
living quote deliciously Thomason
proceeds to a bonfire where naked
witches chant incantations and she rises
into the air
laughing it’s a haunting movie with an
equally haunting ending that sticks with
number seven babadook in the basement
the babadook sometimes endings don’t
make sense at first but become strokes
of genius upon revisiting them such as
the ending – the babadook after the
titular villain possesses Emilia Sam is
finally able to bring her back by
proving how much he loves her it
attempts to weaken her again by
appealing to her despair at the loss of
her husband but she overcomes it and
forces the creature into the basement
later
Emilia and Sam have repaired their
relationship and she’s seen feeding the
tamed babadook in the basement at first
glance the ending is strange but upon
learning that the babadook is a
representation of grief it makes this
every holiday needs a horror film
centered around it and this one has the
perfect twist for its particular holiday
after discovering that Muffy has
actually been her evil twin sister Buffy
kid pleads for her life before running
into the living room and discovering
that all her friends that she thought
were dead were still very much alive all
prior events in the film had been staged
in an elaborate rehearsal for a whodunit
get away that Muffy planned on opening
it is a cruel prank but nan gets her
back for it by pretending to slit her
number five angela is Peter sleepaway
camp let’s go swimming now what about
our clothes we spend the majority of the
film sympathizing with Angela who is
ruthlessly bullied due to her
introverted nature when the grisly
deaths start to pile up Riki is
suspected as the killer for his
protective nature over her one chaotic
night brings about several deaths and
Angela and Paul decide to go
skinny-dipping naturally when Ronnie and
Suzy finally locate them we’re given one
of the most shocking twists in the
entire slasher genre Angela who has
decapitated Paul was actually born Peter
but raised as a girl by her eccentric
aunt yes little girl just like you try
as you might you’re not gonna forget
that horrific noise she makes as the
film comes to a close number four the
party mother
[Applause]
when a group of hams fans intrude on
their house motor begins to get annoyed
that annoyance becomes rage and fear as
their behavior becomes more bizarre
mother and him are able to escape to
hims office where she gives birth him
takes the baby to his followers who
cannibalized the child as revenge mother
blows up the house with herself and him
inside killing everyone but them him
removes the heart from mother’s burnt
body finds a crystal inside and places
it on a pedestal creating a new house
and a new mother it was a controversial
ending and its meaning is up for debate
regardless we all had the same three
word reaction baby number three
rise of the Ancient Ones the cabin in
the woods you know the drill a bunch of
teenagers go to a cabin in the woods
zombies or whatever attack yada yada
well this movie shook up that formula a
bit with its guns Oh final act survivors
Dana and Marty descend into the
underground facility which has been
controlling the events up to that point
in one of the most insane horror scenes
of the decade they release a plethora of
monsters into the facility
killing everyone eventually the director
confronts them and explains that these
violent depths are a ritual to satisfy
the Ancient Ones Dana and Marty allow
the ritual to fail and the evil gods are
number two that’s unfortunate
the most effective horror movies find
horror through a motion though David Dan
Amanda Billy and Irene are able to
escape the supermarket they are thrust
into the mist full of horrific deadly
creatures that have destroyed nearly
everything believing there’s no hope
they decide to allow David to kill them
peacefully so they don’t have to suffer
through the horrible deaths their
comrades have David kills his friends
and out of bullets goes into the mist to
die but just then the army arrives
rescuing survivors David then realizes
he need lessly killed his colleagues
including his own son we were expecting
a horrific ending but this is something
else entirely
[Applause]
[Music]
number one tail payment hereditary if we
straight this bunch it will hit me too
hereditary masterfully rewards patients
by slowly building towards its
horrifying finale any thinks that by
burning Charlie sketchbook she’ll expel
the demon in her home instead it causes
her husband to combust allowing the
demon payment to possess her she chases
her son Peter into the attic where we
see the terrifying shot of a nice eyeing
her own head off
Peter jumps out the window before
awakening clicking his tongue and
following his mother’s headless corpse
into the treehouse
Jonah informs him that he is now the
human host for Peyman who previously
lived in Charlie the scene bleeds horror
from any banging her head on the ceiling
to a ritual revolving around
decapitation this video is brought to
