John Wick Has A Higher Body Count Than Jason Voorhees And Michael Myers Combined
Slashers ain’t got nothin' onJohn Wick. In the span of three movies,Keanu Reeves’s well-dressed assassin has bumped-off more people than horror icons Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers combined. That’s no small feat. It also means the only way to solve this rivalry is to makeJohn Wick vs. Michael vs. Jason.
Bloody Disgustinghas done the lord’s work, crunched the numbers and figured out that the kill count total of all threeJohn Wickfilms surpasses that of theHalloweenandFriday the 13thfranchises – combined. If their calculations are correct, John Wick has bumped off 306 people over the course ofJohn Wick,John Wick: Chapter 2andJohn Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
Meanwhile, in theHalloweenfranchise, Michael Myers has ushered 140 souls off the face of the Earth. And inFriday the 13th, Jason Voorhees has hacked and slashed his way through 157 (there are181 kills totalin the franchise, but remember – Jason didn’t start doing his thing untilFriday the 13th Part II). That’s a total of 297 kills in more than 20 movies.
Oh, also, I guess I should point out that life is sacred, murder is not cool, and this is all for fun. There, now that that’s out of the way, this isreallyimpressive. It took only threeWickmovies to surpass 20-plus films from two of the bloodiest horror franchises to ever cut up the silver screen. Now all I can think about is a crossover movie where John Wick has to face off against Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Make it happen, Hollywood.
And how do other horror killers rack up? Not well, I’m afraid. Our good friend Freddy Krueger, from theNightmare on Elm Streetfranchise, has only 34 deaths to his name. Leatherface from theTexas Chainsaw Massacreseries, including remakes, has 87 kills to his name. And I’m not even going to include Pinhead fromHellraiser, because he’s not really a slasher, and he doesn’t work alone. Then there’s theChild’s Playfranchise, which can claim 59 deaths – not counting the upcoming remake. What’s that? You want to know theLeprechaunseries kill count too? Ugh. Well, if you insist, that total is 43.
So there you have it: John Wick is an unstoppable killing machine. For more murderous goodness, enjoy this infographic forJohn Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
