Top Ten List of the Week

Top Ten Horror Movie Deaths



10. Debbie Turned into Cockroach (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) - Freddy has long been known for his creative kills, and this one in ANOES 4, may be the single weirdest. You see Debbie is deathly afraid of cockroaches. Early on the film, we see her squash one of the cute little buggers with extreme prejudice. When it's her time to die, we see Freddy actually turn her into what she hates the most, and squash her like the bug she is.

9. Raft Massacre (The Burning) - The Burning is one of the few slashers that you can actually call under appreciated. In this, the best scene, our dear old Cropsy decides to really stick it to a whole canoe full of kids! With effects by Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead) you know it's good.

8. Jesus Wept (Hellraiser) - In this scene, Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) bites it by getting ripped apart by demonic chains that conform to the will of Pinhead and the cenobites! This is just the type of crazy sadism you'd expect from Clive Barker.

7. Giovanni Lombardo Radice Gets a Headache (City of the Living Dead) - In this graphic scene, Giovanni Lombardo Radice's (House on the Edge of the Park) Bob bites it with the classic drill to the head from an angry daddy. Ouch.

6. And Washed the Cook Down the Drain (The Blob - 1988) - In the most memorable scene from The Blob remake, we are treated to a cook getting sucked down the sink, like so much garbage in a garbage disposal. It's a pretty creative scene, and worthy of this list.

5. Tina on the Ceiling (A Nightmare on Elm Street) - Yes, Freddy rears his ugly head once more on this list, this time from the original film. This time, an unseen Freddy rips her to shreds and drags her up the walls and onto the ceiling before spilling all of her blood onto the bed!

4. Clear! (The Thing) - In one of the best scenes in an awesome movie, we find an emergency procedure go awry! Watch out for that chest cavity, it's got bite!

3. Gut Vomit (City of the Living Dead) - I would definitely consider this one of the best "kills" ever filmed. In this scene, we get to watch as one of our heroines is telepathically signalled to VOMIT UP HER OWN GUTS.

2. Sleep Through This, Judy! (Friday the 13th 7: The New Blood)- In what's probably the most infamous kill in the series, we find our young Judy chilling in a sleeping bag, waiting on her boyfriend to get back. But all is not well. Jason has killin' on the brain, natch. Of course, Jason picks Judy up whilst still in the sleeping back and decides to swing her, baseball bat style, into a nice big tree. What a kill!

FUN TRIVIA: All existing home video versions of this film, including the box set released by Paramount Home Video have the infamous "sleeping bag death" cut to one hit, whereas the original theater-shown version had the uncut, six-hit sleeping bag death scene, with blood all over the sleeping bag, intact.

1. Choke On 'Em! (Day of the Dead) - In this gruesome scene, the hated Captain Rhodes (Joesph Pilato) literally gets ripped in half by a horde of hungry undead, thanks, in part, to everyone's favorite zombie, Bub. The grue is terrifically done by Tom Savini, and everyone lives to hate Rhodes. All of it adds up for the greatest horror death scene ever.
