17. John “The Hangman” Ruth
The Hateful Eight – Total deaths unknown
Played brilliantly by Kurt Russel, Ruth is a bounty hunter who earned the name “The Hangman” because he collects his bounties alive, just so he can watch them hang after he collects his reward. While he doesn’t directly kill anyone, and it’s never really stated how many people he’s watched hang, it’s hard to say how much of a killer he is, but given that he’s got a legendary reputation, you can assume he’s pretty successful.
At least until he drinks his coffee and gets gunned down.
