“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
When physically fighting for your life, it’s going to result in one of two things: injury or death.
Most of the time in horror movies you get the classic someone running from the killer, tripping and falling, and then becoming the slaughtered lamb cliche. But sometimes someone will fight back hard, and then we get an awesome and unforgettable kick-ass fight where we catch ourselves rooting out loud for the characters on the screen. Of course in a horror movie there is always going to be some sort of fight for the hero or heroine’s life, but sometimes it’s so good that it needs mentioning, so because of this we had to share a few of our favorite fight scenes in no particular order.
The Horde (2009) – Zombie vs. Cop
Everyone loves a girl-on-girl fight, and making one of those girls a zombie just makes it all the better. This is a truly kick-ass fight; the female cop is a badass, and her moves are quick and hard. It’s a short scene, but it’s intense and ends with you yelling, “YES!”
Blade (1998) – Blade vs. Everyone
Blade is the quintessential tough guy, and there are so many fight scenes in all of the Blade movies, it was hard to pick just one, but for this list I’m picking the ending fight scene from the first film. Not only does it have an awesome soundtrack, but his moves are beautiful and strong… not to mention that brilliant ending with the sword and the bow.
Scary Movie (2000) – Anna vs. The Killer
This movie was hilarious, and this fight scene just made it even better. With some of her moves taken from Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, Anna kicks the killer’s ass with style, grace, and humor, making the killer look like a fool.
Dog Soldiers (2002) – Spoon vs. Werewolf
This is one of my all-time favorite movies and also one of my favorite fight scenes because it involves a human vs. a werewolf. Would you seriously go against a werewolf yourself? This guy’s got some balls, and his last words are epic!

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) – Freddy vs. Jason
Here’s a fisticuff-laden fight that will have many horror fans chanting “ECW! ECW! ECW!” Seriously, this spectacular free-for-all would have been just as at home in a WWE ring as it would up on the sliver screen. Speaking of WWE…
They Live (1988) – Roddy Piper vs. Keith David
This fight is great! It’s like two friends going at it hard, but you know the love is still there. Piper with his wrestling moves and David with his potty mouth make this one of the best friendly fights ever!
