Long week at work so I had to keep this one short. I'll make up for it over the weekend. Or so you think. Here's a ditty on dem Halloween Cookies, brought to you by the Pillsbury Doughboy and, believe it or not, a mummy.

Now here's your survey: what's some of the best death scenes you've ever seen in a film? There's hundreds of great candidates for this one.

Best horror movie death: Had to be from Leprechaun (I think it was the first, may be the second) when the horny teenager goes into the garage and sees a "hot chick". Pans in close on her boobs, he walks up, thinks he’s burying his face in her boobs…then we cut to reality and see he’s really sticking his face into lawnmower blades. Damn that Leprechaun!

Best "normal" movie death: If anyone has sat through the VERY slow In The Bedroom, they’ll surely remember the boy getting shot in the face by the ex-husband. Comes out of nowhere, and when they pan in on his face, truely gruesome. Definately one of the most realistic special FX’s I’ve witnessed on film. *Shudder*

I can’t believe the best movie death ever has been left out, Scarface, Tony Montana’s final demise.

Clicheman, I belive that was the end of Casino, not Goodfellas.

My favorite death scene is from Total Recall when Richter, Michael Ironside, gets his arms ripped off on the elevator shaft in the alien mine, and Ahnold says "See you at the party Richter!".

I can’t believe no one else has mentioned the scene from Alien, where the thing pops out of the guy’s chest. I know it’s been done a bunch of times since then, but no one acted it out better than John Hurt did. He just totally committed, made it look and sound like he was in such agony, before the sweet moment where the baby alien pops out and sprays blood everywhere, even soaking that crybaby Veronica Cartwright played.

I saw a documentary once, and it said that after they did that scene, Yaphet Kotto (Parker) had the creeps for two weeks. He would go into his room, and not come out for two whole hours.

Why am I not surprised that I seem to be the only one who’s ever seen this movie. :)

–Johnny Mnemonic, when the guy uses his ring weapon (the amazing device that produces a thin lazer-string) to slice the guiy up in two places. You see the guy stand there for a second looking perplexed, and then his body slides apart in three pieces. Nice.

–Any death perpretrated by the brothers in Bookdock Saints.

"That prayer is awesome! Can you teach me that?!?"

"No, it’s a family thing. Father taught it to us, and he taught it to his father’s father sort of thing."

Naked Blood – Two words: Self cannabalization.

Ichi the Killer – God, so many good scenes in this one. If you like Kill Bill, try and find Ichi the Killer. Tarantino actually was inspired by this movie and some of the scenes in Kill Bill seem to be homages. The best scene has got to be when Ichi uses the blades on his heel to slice that guy in half. Awesome.

Suicide Circle – Right at the beginning, about fifty or so school girls are lined up next to some subway tracks. They join hands and jump… BAM. That’s an opening scene that grabs your attention.

I felt really sorry when Murphy was slaughtered by Clarence and the gang in Robocop.

The fat kid in Friday the 13th V. It was a real pleasure watching hime die.

The bitch that gets the curler in Sleepaway Camp.

Mufasa’s death in the Lion King.

Seeing Helena Bonham Carter die horribly twice was definitely the best thing about "Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein" (the otherwise fairly sucky version with Kenneth Branagh.) Once by getting her still-beating heart ripped out, and once by being set on fire.

Other deaths nominated here are probably superior, but that one made me feel positively jolly for days.

I think the best deth Scene Ever was that when that bike ridding kid in "Toxic Avenger" got hit by the car and then they backed over his head. To be honest… ever death scene in that movie is memorable.
