It’s dumb but I still think the best death was Frank at the end of the first Hellraiser

That’s not dumb, I’d put that in my Top 10 for sure.

If Frank’s death was the "Jesus Wept" scene than yeah, best ever. Second best though is from Tremors, when the guy sits on a tire to try to get away….duh theres a hole in the middle!….or, you know, anything involving Jason!

I loved when the dude from Millenium died at the end of Hard Target… that’s one I quote a lot:
"Heh heh heh…. Whooops!"

Shower scene in Psycho… cliched I know but the best death scene ever

Also when everyones face melts off looking at the Arc of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Arc.

Left one out..

When Ben the lone survivor of Night of the Living Dead is mistaken for a zombie and shot.

When that one guy gets decapitated by a plate of glass in "The Omen"

My favourite death scene is from Friday the 13th Part VI, where the sherrif is broken in half by Jason near the end of the flick. I just love the sound of that crunch!

ooo, my first post ever. Ok, probably that guy in The Fly II who’s head gets squashed by the elevator. Blood everywhere.

Zombi, when the girl gets a wood splinter lodged in her eye.

The nerd in me wants to say Spock in Star Trek II, just because as a nerd I feel obligated to mention Star Trek at every opportunity. But to avoid that, I’ll say David Warner’s head slice in The Omen (which was already mentioned), the famous bed-sucking-into from Nightmare on Elm Street, and the punk who gets punched at the beginning of The Terminator. Yeah, that’s brief and not really crucial to the film, but I like any time organs are ripped out by bare hands.

I have to add two more scenes…
The killing of buddy badguy in The Last Boyscout, after all the beatings and shootings, he goes through the ‘copter blades. Nice…
The other would have to be the multiple death scene at the beginning of Ghost Ship, where everyone is sliced by the thin cable in one freakin’ second. (BTW, that was the only good scene in the movie, but worth the watch just for that.)

Best death scene? Comes from one of the worst movies ever…13 Ghosts. You know when when of the guys gets chopped in half by two doors slamming shut on him? Then he looks alright until he splits in half?

Best. Death. Ever.

The sheriff from Robin Hood: Prince of Theives. Just fucking die, already!

Chestnuts roasted by Zorbs @ 10/13/2004 10:10 PM

My choice would have to be when Rhodes (Joe Pilato) gets torn in half and eaten by zombies in Day Of The Dead. The guy has it coming to him through the entire movie and he finally gets it at the end.

just to be an insensitive asshole… the little kid who gets run over at the beginning of the first toxic avenger

When the alien bursts through the dudes stomach in Spaceballs & then does that song and dance. Quality.

Or seriously, after Christian Bale has shot up just about everybody in Equilibrium and then gets challenged to a swordfight against his nemesis. You expect another major kick-ass action sequence but it lasts all of 3 seconds as Bale does a sweet parry and then just slices the dudes face right off. There’s a slight pause before you see it slowly slip off the skull and onto the floor. That was way cool.

In Robocop, a guy crashes his van into a toxic waste dump, then stumbles around with his skin melting off, then gets run over by a car whipping his head over the roof and squishing his dissolving body all over the windshield.

I quite liked when Carrie’s mother died at the end of Carrie. With all the sharp objects and everything? Yeah. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Chestnuts roasted by Rainbowfeet @ 10/13/2004 10:47 PM

My personal favorite death scene would be the one in Terminator 2, where the dude is all shot up and holds the chair over top of the detinator thats gonna ‘splode the building the chip or the hand(it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it)is at. He does this mad tremor thing and it’s like you can see the life fade from him, he drops the chair and the building goes *boom-shaka-laka*

Just a great death.

My favorite scenes:

13 Ghosts- When the lawyer is cut in half by the closing glass. And this isn’t at the waist for those of you who don’t know, or cut down the middle like between his chest. He gets cut and half from head to toe from his right and left side.

Dawn of the Dead 2004- The fat zombie lady with the poker through the eye. The guy getting hit with an ambulance in the beginning. The celebrity lookalikes getting shot…there’s a bunch in this movie.

Kiss of the Dragon- The pool ball that Jet Li kicks into a guy’s forhead. The chopsticks to the throat. The actual "Kiss of the Dragon" acupuncture move Jet does to the french cop.

Boondock Saints- When Connor drops a toilet on a guy’s head. And the court room scene when the mob boss gets his head shot off with a shotgun and two handguns.

The Good Son- I have to say knowing that McCauley Culkin fell to his death and you actually see his body is probably the best death scene ever.

Resident Evil- Despite being a crappy movie adaptation, where the leader, "One", gets sliced into cubes.

These are some of my favorites..

One of my favorite death scenes is in the first TCM when Sally’s boyfriend Jerry dies. By the time he goes down you’ve seen the first couple die deaths that could’ve easily been remedied by not going into the house, and you sit there thinking "he’s not going to go in there and get killed, that would just be monotonus, and then he goes in, goes RIGHT to where Leatherface just finished chopping up Pam and that other guy, finds Pam, and then BAM, again, it’s over! It was beautiful how they kill 60% of the charecters in the first 20 minutes.

Another guilty pleasure of mine, while not in a horror movie is in the first Jurassic Park where the lawyer gets eaten off of the John. I dunno, maybe the 7 year old who saw it is still inside me, eating all of my snacks…

I dont care for the movie much but when brad pit gets hit by the car and flipped in the air and hit again, I think in Joe Black. Yeah that was fun.

Chestnuts roasted by soul @ 10/13/2004 11:16 PM

Another cool death is Joe Pesci’s at the end of Goodfellas when he gets the smack down from the two dudes with shovels and they mash his face to a pulp and then bury him alive. You can still see his bloodied, mangled face still trying to swear at the dudes even as the dirts landing on him. Hardcore.
And the res evil cube death was cool too.

Chestnuts roasted by Cliche-Man @ 10/13/2004 11:26 PM

Best death scene from a movie i’m embarresed to love, Wrong Turn. The cop at the end.

"Murder? Whos.. splort!" arrow through the head! it was soo funny.

Or the ever classic Johnny Depp in Nighmare one, so much blood!!!
