What's the Best Death Scene

[Timinator]

Considering the slew of new horror films out this Halloween season, I though I'd pose a question. What are some of your favorite death or murder scenes? Creative? Gruesome? Maybe even comedic?

My personal fave is Amy Smart's passing in Mirrors.

Spoiler:

Her mirror image pulling her lower jaw off, and the look on her horrified face as her head splits. (shudder).

Try to use that spoiler button when giving details. Looking forward to reading your responses!

I just burnt my tongue.

I didn't see the new Pirhana, but...

Spoiler:

...two guys are carrying a girl out of the water and her lower half separates from her top. The look on her face as she dies made it one of the most disturbing death scenes I've ever seen.

And it was a background moment too. Someone was venting some serious issues when they made that movie.

Most creative use of a sleeping bag, ever

Uncle Frank

Spoiler:

in Hellraiser.

The Final Destination

Spoiler:

When the guy went into the pool, got his ass stuck on the suction drain thing, which then sucked out all his guts, which then started bursting through the pipes. OTT, but nice.

Alien Resurrection

Spoiler:

Death of the newborn - who got his back stuck against a hole on the window of the spaceship, which then tore a hole in his back and sucked out all his guts, bones, organs, tissue into outer space. Evidently there's something with me and flying guts...

Robocop

Spoiler:

Emile crashes into the vat of chemical waste, melts then gets ran over by Clarence

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

It's gotta be Kane from Alien. That's the only one I can think where you can tell the actors weren't acting, they were genuinely freaked out.

forgot about this. that was satisfying...

 

[SimFeliz]

Always loved Andy's death in Friday the 13th part 3.

 

[DinoLast]

I would say Dallas from Alien was the most shocking for me. When I first saw it I had no idea Ripley was the main protagonist, I thought it was Dallas. When he got taken out half way though, it was like all bets were off

The first time I saw this it took me by surprise.

I wouldn't say it was the best death scene though , I'm not sure what I'd consider to take that crown.

I lol'ed so hard. Great scene. And you see her boobies too. I the wire death was also great, cut right through this chick...her shirt falls off, and then she splits.

in recent memory, I loved at the beginning of Zombieland when the lady busts thru the windshield, faceplants on the asphalt and skids up to the camera.....

Great Thread.

Tom Hulce as Mozart in Amadeus. Hands down. The best death scene in cinema.

 

[Deckard]

Most ____ed Up :

Bike Kid (Toxic Avenger) something like this will probably not be in a movie again with today's censors. Made even worse by the photos and what the girls do with them.

Murphy (Robocop)

Nicky Santoro (Casino)


Most Satisfying :

Hans Gruber (Die Hard)

D!ck Jones (Robocop) the black guy summed up all our feelings when D!ck was fired.

Toht (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

 

[thenammagazine]

So many notable ones. Although not the best, this one also comes to mind:

I remember seeing it for the first time, being all "HOLY ____ING ____!!!!!!!!!!!" and rewinding the tape several times just to watch it and see if I could guess how they did it.
