I just watched Silent Hill last night, and it was pretty cool when Pyramid Head ripped that girl’s skin off. That can’t be healthy.
Then there’s that part in Leviathan when that dude gets bit in half when he was in that large diver suit and it bounces around the room, bumping into everyone.
Justin B: Many happy returns!
LOTS of good deaths so far! I’ll add an oldie-but-goodie — the stabbing/hanging/shredding scene from “Suspiria.” It’s so outrageously gory and somehow beautiful in a very macabre way. Although a bit dated, I still love it.
I forgot this, but a really emotional death was of Brendan Frasiers character on scrubs

Someone finally put up some tales of the crypt episodes up on youtube, look up the nickname hauntedflower there are a few of them up. Even one with Corey Feldman! One called the assassin.
I’m not even going to say what my favorite kill is. I think that I wouldn’t want to admit that.
Justin B- I remember that film. Pepe’s death at the end is a good one too.
Lisa- I was thinking about Deadly Friend too. Remember when she threw that jackass to the police car?
The wedding massacre in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Though I never saw Sir Lancelot drive his sword through the bride’s father’s
head.
Terminator 3, at the end where obviously millions die as Skynet launches all those nuclear missiles. Doctor Spalko, in Indiana
Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. When she wishes
to know everything the aliens know, which is impossible for a
human brain. And the overload kills her. It seems I’m not the
only one who has seen The Black Hole. One of the rooms in
my house still has the original wallpaper with the USS Cygnus,
the Palomino, and the probe ship on the wallpaper. Also, the
death of the Wicked Queen in Walt Disne’s Snow White.

Gotta go with that guy in Robocop who gets doused with toxic waste and then splattered on the hood of a car.

The scene in Jason X where he flash freezes some girl’s face and then shatters it. Its probably the only memorable thing from that movie.
I think someone already mentioned The Hitcher, but that’s a pretty close second for me.
And I always thought the best Gremilin death was the microwave.

the basketball from Deadly Friend should be in some sort of top ten list

True Lies, where the dude takes a fatal ride on a missile. Palpatine falling to his death in Return of The Jedi. Even though I’ve only
seen an image of this death here in this website, Mister T
killing Half Dead (Ernie Hudson) by snapping his neck in
Penitentiary II. And Sydney shooting her boyfriend in the head in
the first Scream film. He deserved it. Good night everyone.

The melting faces in Raiders of the Lost Ark, When Doc Brown gets shot the first time in Back to the Future, The Shower Scene and when the detective falls down the stairs in Psycho, When the alien “dies” in E. T. The Extraterrestrial…
I know this is not exactly halloweeny or gory, but in the movie Hell’s Angels (the one from the 1930′s), when the German zeppelin tried to escape the fighter bi planes, all the crew were trying to lighten the load by throwing every single thing from the zeppelin, and than the crew started to sacrifice themselves by throwing themselves off as a way to keep the Zeppelin away from the fighters. I know it’s not much, but the buildup to that scene was just wow.

Molly: Just watched parts of that movie. HBO has been showing it for some reason. I like to think it’s cause Mythbusters busted some of the stuff they did in the movie recently. As bad as the majority of that movie is, that was a pretty awesome death scene… Didn’t Matt once reference that? Something about the last time a big speech was given Samuel L. Jackson died? Lol…
JLAJRC: I too get teary eyed during that episode of Futurama. Is anyone going to watch the newest movie on Sunday? I can’t wait!
Sorry to be a bit off topic, Matt. I’ll say I’ll agree with Precursor, kind of: my favorite death scene is from Terminator II (Only cause I just saw the end of that, too and I can’t think of any other movie that hasn’t been said yet…) When Robert Patrick (T-1000) gets blown up by Arnie. The look on his face is awesome. It’s almost robotic enough, almost fake… like he did have emotions. Maybe James Cameron told him to act like a surprised robot? lol… I liked him shattering after the strut through the liquid nitro tho. That was cooler, but not a death scene. The terminator’s death scene was pretty good, too. I’d have cannonballed into the vat of molten metal, personally. None of that heart wrenching slow decent stuff. Then John Conner would have taken it better, right? He prolly woulda said it was tubular or something…
Still, it was a good death scene…

The slow death of Shelly The Machines Levene’s soul in Glengarry Glen Ross.
Come on Gil, you can do it!

Thought of another: Bleeding Gums Murphy on the Simpsons. I know that sounds stupid, but I loved Bleeding Gums… especially when he sang the National Anthem at a baseball game lol…

Ok, last one and I’ll shut up: Paris Hilton in House of Wax. Never saw that movie, happen to be channel surfing and saw the scene. As much as I loath her and I hate myself for admitting it, but watching her die was disturbingly satisfying…

I’d have to think hard about this one.
I think it may be – tying with me mentioning the film on the thread a couple of days ago – Flyboy’s death in ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ (original 1978 version; ie the superior one). In fact, this counts sort of as a double death.
We spent the whole movie with him, and when he emerges from the lift, bloodied and bruised, as a zombie, is a really scary moment. He slowly makes his way up to the hideout, followed by a horde of other zombies. Stephen has no option that to raise is rifle and shoot the zombie Flyboy in the head. Splat. Blood everywhere. His body falls to one side as the following army of zombies enter.
I feel I should have gone for something like Captain Kirk’s death in ‘Star Trek: Generations’, but for me, it didn’t really pack much of a punch and I found much of that movie disappointing.

I have to go with Frank Cotton’s death in the original Hellraiser (my all-time favorite horror movie though the sequels, aside from the first one, suck like a Hoover with a warp drive). Torn literally to pieces by hooked chains? Now that’s shuffling off this mortal coil in style!
the priest who “Kicks Ass for the Lord” in Dead Alive and gets impaled on the angle tomb stone

Tom Savini in Children of The Living Dead. BAD. ASS. That chick from Cloverfield like blowing up or whatever behind that screen was awesome, and every death from The Mist, ESPECIALLY the religious nut… Right through the milk bottle! lol Also, not quite a death scene, but I lovelovelove the zombies in the pool from the end of Diary of the Dead.
the mass death of hundreds at the beginning of ghost ship and the mass death of hundreds at the night club in hellraiser 3 were pretty awesome.
