Melanie Leishman (1989 - )

Film Deaths

  • Todd and the Book of Pure Evil: The End of the End (2017 animated film) [Hannah Williams]: Melanie died and was buried in the series finale of the live action 2010 TV show Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. In this film, Melanie plays a clone that awakened from cryosleep after her original character was killed. She is unaware of her true nature and believes she is the original. Although her friends are very confused when she reappears, they are happy that she's alive. However, Melanie is killed again shortly thereafter; her face melts (leaving just her skull and hair) when she is hit with acid-filled pus from Aaron Douglas' exploding zit. A new clone awakens from cryosleep; this new clone is evil. Melanie learns of her true nature as a clone; each time a clone dies, a new clone awakens that is more evil than the previous one. Her destiny is to eventually become an unstoppable evil force that will destroy the world, known as the Pure Evil One, aided by an evil spellbook created for that purpose. Her friends eventually confront her to stop her evil plans and end up killing several clones, starting with the current one. Each new clone that awakens appears more monstrous and less human than the previous until the final few clones are pure monsters and do not resemble humans at all. Melanie's deaths occur in this order:
    1. A sword is thrown into Melanie's forehead by Maggie Castle, causing a huge geyser of blood.
    2. Bill Turnbull shoots Melanie in the face with his bionic fist; the fist punches all the way through her head.
    3. Jason Mewes gouges out Melanie's eyes with the tips of his nunchucks.
    4. Bill Turnbull decapitates Melanie by firing his bionic fist at her and wrapping its wire around her throat then retracting the fist.
    5. Melanie's final clone is killed when Alex House throws a sword at her that cuts her head in two.
