Happy SNT everybody- I’m at work, watching MIRRORS for about the 15th time… the first two or three times, it was definitely Halloween-y… but now it’s just annoying. They sure don’t make ‘em like they used to… speaking of which- who else knew the movie “The Horror Show” (Lance Henriksen, Brion James) was originally one of the “House” series? I wish they’d put it out on DVD already… I’ve always felt it was way better than “Shocker”… (sorry Mr. Craven…)
****(SPOILER ALERT- There is NOBODY that Jack Bauer won’t point a gun at- I Love that guy!)***
All of the deaths in Suicide Club. Especially when they jump off of the school’s roof.

…Sorry, had to get that out- As for the topic; James Caan called my girlfriend a name I won’t repeat (in print) once- so I’m gonna go with Sonny Corleone at the Toll Booth…
it wasn’t really a death, but, the scene in The Toxic Avenger where he’s fighting dudes in a fast food joint.. – he tosses one of them over the counter, homeboy soars into the overhead menu.. – just a great, brutal stunt..
Ohhh god in Pet Sematary, when Jud is looking for Gage, and he’s kneeling down by the bed. Gage’s hand sticks out from under the bad and slashed Jud’s achilles tendon. Ughhhhhh. Creeps me out. To this day I think about that almost every time I stand by a bed.
In Maniac, when Joe Spinell jumps on the hood of Tom Savini’s car and shoots him through the windshield with a shotgun and his head eggsplodes. Check it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1kzUd0AXiI
I think it was 13 Ghosts, where that guy is split in half by a glass door. That was awsome.

Hmm. Lynda’s surprise phone cord strangulation in Halloween. Nurse Jill’s shank-and-lift (plus the accompanying clog drop!) from Halloween II.
I’m sure there’s more…

Bonnie and Clyde….the end where they get made into swiss cheese!
Also any of the deaths in Happy Birthday To Me. <—awesome film! I think I posted about it last year or the year before. Mary from Little House on The Prairie, plays this girl who has a bad car wreck and loses her memory, and all her friends keep dying these really gruesome deaths…shishkabob skewer in the mouth out the back of head, crushed to death by bar bells..etc.

Hey Eddie, Excellent Savini plug! (no pun)- One of the coolest things about that for me, is that he shoots himself in that scene… I’d also like to throw out a vote for the suicide montage in “Psychomania”… ahh, Vintage Death…
Quint being eaten alive by Jaws. (Blood spurting out of the mouth really disturbed me as a kid.)
The guy that killed himself by scissors through the mouth in The Dead Zone.
The Marine that was trapped in the chemical weapon storage depot when a weapon went off in The Rock. (yuck)
The drunk college kid that had the top of is head sawed off in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fG15TJZE04
The bad guy that inflates himself to death in Big Trouble in Little China
Old Yeller.
…and many more.
Off the top of my head, the part in Batman Returns where the strongman tells Batman to hit him, and he does, and the strongman laughs it off until he realizes Batman put the keg of dynamite in his belt. Batman throws him into a open trench, and KA-BOOM!
Also, all the villain deaths in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I liked it in Street Fighter when they showed the x-ray view of the skull crush. I also liked when the line snapped at the beginning of Ghost Ship and sliced everyone in half.

Every single death in Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste. If you’ve never seen it, you should.
