Who are the top five greatest horror movie heroes of all time?

 I would like to specify five under appreciated heroes because the traditional ones have been mentioned by other Quorans.

1- Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Predator (1987).

Dutch’s muscles are no match for the Yautja’s plasma cannon and arm blades. In the end he survives by using humanity’s greatest weapon: ingenuity. Hence proving that humans are the apex predators on Earth.

2- Jay Height (Maika Monroe) in It Follows (2014).

She is an innocent girl thrust in a deadly predicament by her douchebag boyfriend. Jay’s friends are her greatest strength. Everybody sticks together in this horror film.

3- Jess Bradford (Olivia Hussey) in Black Christmas (1974).

One of the earliest examples of a ‘final girl’ in a horror movie. She’s kind to others and even vulnerable at times but Jess stays brave in adversity.

4- Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) in Get Out (2017).

He notices something is off about the Armitage family from the get-go. He ignores their awkwardness at first but is quick to trust his guts.

5- Almost everybody in Tremors (1990).

Bet you didn’t see that coming. Val (Kevin Bacon) and Earl (Fred Ward) know how to ride horses, fire guns and are smart enough to assess the Graboids’ intelligence. Earl gives the ‘fishing’ idea to hunt the Graboids.

Burt (Michael Gross) and Heather (Reba McEntire) are firearm experts and have an arsenal that the townsfolk use to fend off the giant worms.

Rhonda (Finn Carter) is a seismologist and is able to determine that they’re dealing with prehistoric organisms that hunt by detecting sound. She comes up with the idea of pole vaulting.

The remaining supporting characters are either part of the movie’s body count or are there to raise the stakes for survival. Even those who end up dying didn’t make stupid decisions but were victims of bad luck.

Who are some unsung heroes of India?

 

  • The warrior who never lost a single war in his 35 years reign .
  • The warrior who built astonishing & magnanimous 32 forts out of 84 in Mewad in his prosperous era.

Such as,

  • Chittorgarh fort
  • Kumbhalgarh fort
  • Achalgarh fort
  • The warrior who built world's second longest wall.
  • The first Hindu ruler to be given accolade by Muslim Sultans.
  • The warrior who has title of “Hindu Suratrana” or “Hindu Sultan” given by two Muslim rulers; Ahmad Shah, ruler of Gujarat and Mahmud Khalji, ruler of Delhi.
  • One of the bravest ruler whom we tag as “King of King" or “Maharana".

He is none other than, Maharana Kumbha.

Mewad was the only Hindu-ruled major state allocating its supremacy to Lord Shiva. The powerful Muslim principalities united and aimed to defeat Rana Kumbha but their efforts were thwarted every time by the Rana, single hand.

He captured the muslim capital of Rajasthan; Nagaur and established himself as ‘The undefeated’.


Undoubtedly I won't feel any kind of hesitation to say that, Hindu Kings are too too underrated in Indian Historical books.
