horror TV be warned as there are massive

spoilers ahead for every series on this

with what culture here with the 10 most

unexpected horror TV deaths number 10.

Bob in stranger things 2. starting off

this list is stranger things as arguably

the biggest show Netflix has ever put

out it can chalk up a lot of its success

to its great cast of characters as its

second chapter began one of the more

underrated cast members was Sean aston's

Bob the second season really ramps up in

its eighth episode with the monsters

rampaging through a hospital it's a

tense and unrelenting Chase through the

hallways of the Hawkins laboratory in

this desperate moment Joyce's new

partner Bob really steps up to the plate

following careful instructions from

scientist Dr Owens he's able to distract

the creatures and help the group get out

safely the Escape appears to have been a

narrow success until one last crawler

pounces on Bob it's a truly

gut-wrenching sequence as the action

slows to a cruel absorbing the audience

into the horrifying moment Joyce's

Devastation is made much more powerful

with a lack of sound and the team has no

choice but to leave him behind poor Bob

has no chance against the Beast as it

tears into him mercilessly and this

sudden end to his character Arc made him

a fan favorite many took to forums and

social media to pay their respects to

The Lovable character number nine Denise

in The Walking Dead Season 6. much like

Game of Thrones very few Side characters

Make It Through The Walking Dead Alive

as the series went on the threat of

rival human groups only grew more

pronounced things really started to get

dicey in the sixth season having

established themselves in Alexandria

Rick's group befriend many new faces

including the local doctor Denise in the

14th episode Denise pauses on an

expedition to express herself to Daryl

and the others she's tired of being put

down and viewed as a tool by others the

conversation pushes on for almost a

minute and it seems to be swaying

Denise's friends that is until a

crossbow Bolt from Dwight lands with a

devastating impact the weapons silent

but deadly efficiency is taken to its

most Grim conclusion as it pierces

through Denise's skull and out of her

right eye what makes the moment even

more grisly is how she tries to finish

her sentence it's a death so abrupt that

it takes the body a second or two to

register the impact being a key doctor

in the community of Alexandria the

sudden death of Denise deprives the town

of a valuable skill set it's another

abrupt moment that shows negan's saviors

are not to be trifled with number eight

Captain John Franklin in the terror next

we have a criminally underrated series

that had a limited to release on several

platforms the terror arrived on our

screens in March 2018 and took many

audiences by surprise the original novel

by Dan Simmons takes this mysterious

Expedition and adds a horror-based Twist

laying the groundwork for a 10 episode

series we follow HMS Erebus and HMS

Terror as they attempt a doomed mission

to discover the Northwest package the

latter is led by Captain Sir John

Franklin played by Kieran Hines with his

face on the front cover you wouldn't

expect Sir John to meet his end so

quickly but the terror proves that these

overconfident Argonauts are no match for

the freezing conditions and the monster

that stalks their expedition as early as

the third episode the captain meets a

harrowing demise while organizing a

hunting party to shoot the monster it

ambushes and Slaughters the entire

contingent Franklin attempts to reach

safety but is dragged towards a hole in

the ice after biting off his leg the

Sailor is tipped into the ice ironically

fulfilling his desire to see below the

surface because Captain's early death

shows that the Unseen Beast is much

different from the polar bears common to

the area number 7. Ilana in Lost it's a

bit of a cheat entry but lost's

implementation of light horror and

Supernatural elements earn it a spot

before JJ Abrams built his name on the

mystery box formula he put together the

ambitious if ultimately disappointing

lost set on an Uncharted island in the

aftermath of a plane crash a collection

of survivors are forced to survive

against hostile natives natural hazards

and an elusive smoke monster that lurks

in the jungle unfortunately Elana's time

on the show was short-lived as in season

six she goes out with a bang it's a

seemingly simple conversation between

characters as she packs some Dynamite

before heading on an expedition

unfortunately for Our Heroes she's the

last person you'd want to handle some

deadly explosives without warning Alana

drops the bag of dynamite on the ground

and triggers the sticks prematurely one

of the more underused characters in the

show is gone in instant the reactions to

this sudden death range from shock to

Pure hilarity some felt it added to the

show's unpredictable events and others

thought that the writers took the easy

way out with a character they no longer

needed in any case it's still one of the

quickest deaths in small screen history

number six Alison Argent in Teen Wolf

this series was inspired by the 1985

release of the same name with Michael J

fox but takes things in a darker

direction from the get-go the fan base

latched on to leading man Scott McCall

and his love interest Alison Argent with

McCool being a werewolf and Argent a

werewolf Hunter you'd think they'd be at

each other's throats instead the

opposite occurs as the two become lovers

for the first three seasons Scott's

physical prowess and Alison's skill in

archery made them a dynamic duo who

could take on anything also audiences

believed they tackled many Supernatural

threats as the series went on once Teen

Wolf reached its third season things

started to get dicey for the cast of

characters in the penultimate episode

insatiable the team get into a

claustrophobic fight with the Warriors

of Oni Alison saves Scott from getting

sliced and diced only to be suddenly

stabbed herself she professes her love

to the lead protagonist before dying in

his arms ultimately Alison's passing was

a critical moment for the series one

that brought many viewers to tears her

close bonds with the other characters

made her death all the more

heart-wrenching for everyone involved

number 5. Joyce summers in Buffy the

Vampire Slayer easily one of the biggest

cult hits of the 90s Buffy the Vampire

Slayer was the product of Joss Whedon

and mutant enemy Productions in many

ways it set the blueprint for many

Supernatural dramas to come the show was

a brilliant blend of horror focused

action and more tender human drama for

some time audiences had gotten used to

Buffy taking down monsters and saving

the day yet there are some things Buffy

is powerless to fight against deep into

the series it hammered this point home

more and more in a 16th episode of the

fifth season things took a shocking turn

immediately as the episode opens Buffy

enters her mother's home only to find

her lying motionless on the couch she

moves from uncertainty to denial

eventually tipping over into crushing

grief Joyce was mostly disconnected from

her daughter's vampire fighting efforts

and this made the opening all the more

horrifying with this bold writing and

Sarah Michelle Geller's phenomenal

performance Joyce's death from a brain

aneurysm marks the body as one of the

finest episodes in not just its series

but the entire small screen Library by

having the reality of death play a major

role the character's departure had a

massive impact number 4. Rita in Dexter

taking on the often overlooked

perspective of a serial killer and

making it a guiding Focus Dexter's

unique take on a popular sub-genre of

Horror made it very engaging to

audiences with its High View count and a

strong performance from Michael C Hall

it became the most successful series on

the Showtime channel by day the titular

protagonist is A bloodstain analyst for

the Miami Police and at night he hunts

down and brutalizes those who slip

through the cracks of the justice system

as he evades the authorities and

struggles against his violent urges

Dexter finds himself faced with many

adversaries many times this puts those

close to Dexter at risk his secret can't

stay hidden forever and over nine

Seasons the tension continues to rise

Rita Bennett played by Julie Benz

marries Dexter and maintains an

emotional bond throughout the first four

outings when the sadistic Mitchell

learns of Dexter's true identity Rita is

sent away for her own safety while our

anti-hero is successful in killing his

Nemesis the villain ends up having the

last laugh Dexter finds Rita dead in a

bathtub as the fourth season ends it's a

massive shock that weighs heavily on the

protagonist for the rest of the series

number three Nan Flanagan in True Blood

with the massive success of Stephanie

Meyer's Twilight series in both books

and films it was inevitable that

imitators would arrive in other forms

one of the biggest contemporaries was

True Blood a supernatural horror series

that lasted seven seasons was overall a

more adult-oriented Affair the show was

able to sustain itself on a massive cast

that consistently shifted back and forth

between many big faces from Alexander

Skarsgard to Rutger Hauer for the most

part though the episodes were squarely

focused on Anna paquin's Sookie

Stackhouse as she navigates the conflict

between risen vampires and those who

hunt them one of the biggest supporters

of the former was the ruthless Nan

Flanagan played by Jessica tuck while

not a leading member of the cast Nan was

nevertheless a prominent voice for the

vampiric community for a time her

charismatic speeches to the public

seemed to make her Untouchable that is

until the season 4 finale came along Nan

strolls into the residence of Bill and

Eric with armed guards in tow her

efforts to recruit them to her side

turns into a foolish Endeavor as the duo

rapidly cleaved their way through the

entire Entourage an Abrupt and

shockingly bloody end for sure one that

showed this Femme Fatale was far from

Invincible number two Violet Harmon in

American Horror Story in the early 2010s

horror began to hit the small screen

with higher budgets and more focused

stories one of the earlier efforts here

was American Horror Story an anthology

series that reached High popularity and

reception as early as the first season

American Horror Story established itself

as a different kind of horror show one

that relied on different Tales each time

the series debut was murder house which

follows the harman family moving to a

Sinister haunted property in Los Angeles

with its characters confined to one

season the series squeezes plenty of

depth out of its lead actors the

audience connects with the Harmons right

from the outset Violet Harman the

youngest member of the family goes

through a lot from the get-go and she

isn't safe from the evil spirits that

torment the family at the halfway mark

of Murder House Violet is tormented and

overwhelmed by everything and attempts

suicide and and while it seems that Tate

saves her later on it is revealed that

she did in fact die and is now a ghost

Violet's early passing was one of the

first major shocks of the series and

American Horror Story would continue to

use this formula in the stories to come

number one where's in How to Get Away

with Murder finally we have how to get

away with murder a highly regarded

murder drama that made use of often

underrepresented cast members led by

Viola Davis it became a big hit between

2014 and 2020. while it's more of a

legal thriller than full-on horror how

to get away with murder still features

its share of creepier elements detention

stems from the unpredictable nature of

its story we follow the proficient law

professor annalize Keating as she

becomes embroiled in a murder case much

of the show's appeal comes from

keating's close bond with her Protege

Wes Gibbons played by Alfred Enoch is

one of the more likable and charismatic

students of annelise's class and is

eventually selected to be an intern at

her her thumb when the professor is

targeted by several criminals her

students become targets too in the third

season Wes goes to his teacher's home

only to be suddenly grabbed from behind

and subdued by a sedative his killer

finishes the job by choking Wares and

burning anneliese's house down with many

audiences enjoying his character it was

a surprise to see him killed off so soon

the Grievous wounds on his body in the

morgue hammers his demise home and that
