The 100 Worst Ways to Die (As Seen in Movies) (2025)

It's an insane concept that shouldn't work: Assemble an anthology film comprised of 26 shorts, each directed by a different independent genre filmmaker and centered around a specific letter of the alphabet. Oh, and each segment has to depict the final seconds of at least one person's life.

Despite its inherent riskiness, The ABCs of Death (available on VOD this Thursday before it opens theatrically on March 8) is a real triumph, albeit one with a few minor missteps. Not all of the 26 segments are successful, but when The ABC's of Death works, it's an unbridled, audacious, see-it-to-believe-it shot to the system. Amongst the ambitious project's many high-points are Ben Wheatley's "U is for Unearthed," Marcel Sarmiento's "D is for Dogfight," Timo Tjahjanto's "L is for Libido," and Jason Eisener's "Y is for Youngbuck," all of which hose rank alongside the best horror productions in recent years.

In honor of The ABCs of Death, we're keeping the spirit of life cut short alive by looking back at cinema's most unappealing on-screen demises. Ceasing to exist, no matter how it happens, isn't a good thing, of course—these fatalities, however, are the ultimate pits. Sit back, count your blessings (and breaths), and figure out how to avoid falling victim to The 100 Worst Ways to Die (As Seen in Movies).

100. Ryan Gosling stomping your head into a bloody pulp

As Seen In: Drive (2011)

Drive, the best film of 2011, delivers its most memorable deathblow rather sweetly. Throughout the film, Ryan Gosling's nameless character, simply known as The Driver, develops a loving bond with his pixie-cute neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan), and their passionate smooch in the elevator is the culmination of endless, silent flirtations.

But keep an eye on the dude who's cock-blocking Gosling from getting some love in an elevator, a la Aerosmith. He's a hit-man sent to kill The Driver, and Sir Drive knows it—his lip-lock with Irene is actually a goodbye kiss, one last tender exchange before The Driver goes to war against criminal mastermind Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks).

Once their kiss is done, Refn switches the tone without hesitation; Gosling rams the guy's head into the wall, flings him to the ground, and stomps his head into a pile of skin chunks, skull shards, and brain. Kiss of death, anyone?

99. Getting stabbed to death by an ear of corn

As Seen In: Sleepwalkers(1992)

Didn't mom always say that corn was good for one's health? Well, Stephen King isn't one for promoting vegetables as part of a balanced diet.

In the forgettable, poorly made 1992 horror pic Sleepwalkers, written by King (certainly one of his career's low points), one unlucky cop takes his final breath after the shapeshifting she-devil Mary Brady (Alice Krige) jabs him in the back with a fresh, ready-to-eat ear of corn.

No question, all of heaven's residents who were sent there by shiny knives and blades will be standing at the pearly gates, ready to diss the hell out of the poor bastard who got bested by a barbecue side dish.

98. Slowly being pulled into a spiky, wooden splinter, eyeball first

As Seen In: Zombie (1979)

Lucio Fulci's undead splatter classic Zombie (also known as Zombi 2) is replete with scenes where the walking dead eat the living with the cleanliness and manners of an unruly 5-year-old boy slurping spaghetti and marinara sauce. However, there's one choice moment where the ghouls opt for something other than bodily consumption as a means of killing someone.

The victim in question is the beautiful Paola (Olga Karlatos), who's just stepped out of the shower and barricaded herself indoors to keep away from those pesky corpses. Standing too close to one of the room's doors, she unwittingly allows a zombie to break through the wooden door, grab her by the hair, and slowly, tortuously pull her eye into a pointy spike.

It's vintage Fulci: a sick visual joke delivered with enough anticipation that it induces nausea.

97. Being pulled into a sink drain

As Seen In: The Blob (1988)

Unafraid of what most resembles a wad of raspberry jam gone horribly wrong? Just try to outrun it, as many of the victims in the 1958 cult classic The Blob do to no avail. The byproduct of a crashed alien meteor, the jelly-like substance attaches itself to people and swallows them whole, like an amoeba, all while slithering around town jamming to its own beautifully cheesy theme song, "Beware of the Blob," sung by who else but a group called the Five Blobs. That's scary for an entirely different reason.

In the '80s remake, the red mass got gnarlier, as evidenced by one scene in particular: A cook, working in a diner's dirty kitchen, reaches into the sink to unclog it when the blob shoots out of the drain, hugs his face, and pulls his entire body through the drain. Excruciating pain, anyone?

96. The magic pencil trick

As Seen In: The Dark Knight (2008)

Not all crazy deaths scenes have to be far-reaching. In The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger's The Joker makes his commanding, dangerous presence felt in front of a room full of mobsters with a simple homicide. One of Gambol's (Michael Jai White) gangster minions gets out of line and steps to the clown-faced psycho, who's just finished standing a pencil on the table as part of a magic trick.

How does Joker make said writing instrument disappear? By cuffing the thug's head and slamming it onto the pencil, lodging it into his eye as the guy topples to the floor.

Neat.

95. Slowly succumbing to a gunshot

As Seen In: Karate Girl (1974)

When it's time to check out of this world, everyone should hope to die with at least a little dignity. Meaning, the opposite of Karate Girl's stupidly over-the-top gunshot victim, who takes a painful but hardly machete-to-the-crotch bullet and, rather than wincing and getting back in the fight, spends a whole minute wailing in slo-mo agony.

Karate Girl should've just aimed for dude's exceptional '70s mustache.

94. Catching a surfboard to the face

As Seen In: Lethal Weapon 2(1989)

Picture this: You're sitting inside your pick-up truck, minding your own Ps and Qs, when hotshot cop Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) brings his high-speed car chase directly into your personal space. Only, instead of Riggs himself getting up close and personal, it's a random surfboard that crashes through the whip's windshield and causes a swift, out-of-nowhere decapitation.

Worst parking space ever? Indeed.

93. A rock piercing your skull, via the eye socket

As Seen In: The Final Destination (2009)

In The Final Destination, actress Krista Allen's final chapter begins with her kids trying to hit a sign with rocks while she gets her hair done inside a salon. The boys miss, leaving one pebble on the ground for the director's camera to ogle—take a guess on whether we'll see it again or not.

By the franchise's fourth entry, the Final Destination producers tossed all plausibility to the side, much to the delight of fans. Allen's big scene is an exercise in goofy false starts, though the payoff is quite gnarly in its simplicity.

First, a shoddy chair almost causes her stylist to cut through her face with scissors; then, the ceiling fan topples down inches in front of her. Taking a massive sigh of relief, she finishes her beautification, pays at the register, and stands in the open doorway and yells at her kids. Which leaves plenty of room for that rock to have an encore—right through her eyeball. In a series that revels in over-the-top kills, a basic rock-through-the-pupil maneuver feels refreshingly austere.

92. Getting a rake stuck in your forehead

As Seen In: Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers(1989)

Remember all of those time your pops asked you to go outside and rake the leaves, and you just ignored him to play more Street Fighter? In Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, the titular white-masked killer channels his inner ignored father in a scene that captures the slasher's creative side. Usually, he's all about killing with a butcher knife, but here, Myers grabs a rusty rake and drives into a helpless victim's forehead. It's the perfect scene to show your future kids whenever they refuse to clean up the front yard leaves.

91. Having your throat slit by an assassin named Chiquita

As Seen In: Belly(1998)

As stylized as it is, Hype Williams' hip-hop gangster flick Belly is still as perfunctory as they come, mainly because it's a little more than a glossy hodgepodge of rehashed crime movie tropes and blatant ripoff moments from earlier, better movies. Take drug kingpin Ox's (Louie Rankin) sendoff, for example, which unsubtly mimics Scarface's final scene. After Ox lights up dozens of armed goons with his own weapon, a silent, stealthy assassin named Chiquita (Belly's answer to Geno Silva's "The Skull" in Scarface), sneaks up behind him and slices his throat wide open.

It's a perfect example of how one man's unwarranted come-and-get-me cockiness leads to his abrupt demise. Dying as a result of one's own vanity—that has to sting once settled into the afterlife.

90. Getting disemboweled, dropped through a stained-glass ceiling, and hung from a cord

As Seen In: Suspiria(1977)

Few filmmakers have ever depicted murder with as much colorful pizazz and operatic grandeur as Dario Argento. The Italian gore-master's best movies are marked by elaborate, prolonged sequences of sadism, typically enacted upon women and punctuated by bombastic, haunting musical scores.

Argento's magnum opus is Suspiria, the phantasmagoric 1977 knockout about an American ballerina who unwittingly moves into a German ballet school run by bloodthirsty witches. Its opening scene is arguably Argento's crowning achievement in carnage. A recently expelled student, Pat (Eva Axén) gets attacked by a ghostly pair of arms that disembowel her, tie a cord around her neck, and send her crashing through a glass ceiling, left dangling in mid-air, neck snapped.

Accentuated by Goblin's wailing, demonic score, this kill is a work of disturbed art.

89. Being burned alive while tied to a tree, right in front your family

As Seen In: The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

Alexandre Aja and his co-writer, Grégory Levasseur, were in the zone while penning the 2006 remake of Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes. And by "in the zone," we mean "consistently able to distress the audience."

The film's apex of discomfort is a tightly staged siege upon the family's trailer, set off by the patriarch, "Big" Bob (Ted Levine), who's tied to a tree and set ablaze as his wife and kids watch, helpless and traumatized. The kicker, though, is that Bob's daughter Brenda (Emilie de Ravin) is being raped while he's frying—by that handsome fella you see above.

88. Getting impaled by a hot steam pipe by Arnold Schwarzenegger

As Seen In: Commando(1985)

When putting together our Arnold Schwarzenegger Soundboard, it was inevitable that many choice quotes would be left out. For example, there's the Austrian action hero's memorable line from Commando: "Let off some steam, Bennett."

Typical of Schwarzenegger's soundbites, it's a hokey but enduring pun, said as his character, John Matrix, finally gets the upper hand against a worthy physical adversary, Bennett (Vernon Wells), by hurling a large, pointy-ended pipe straight into the man's chest. As the steam funnels out of the pipe's opposite end, Schwarzenegger's dialogue becomes truly poetic.

87. A flying piece of shrapnel slicing your head in half

As Seen In: Final Destination (2000)

Is it silly to talk about Seann William Scott's body of work? Such a sophisticated phrase seems more appropriate for the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep; Scott, on the other hand, has either played Stifler or riffs and variations on Stifler. Except in the original Final Destination movie, in which Scott plays an immature elementary school kid in a high school teen's body. Totally different, guys.

Throughout the film, Scott panics, manically complains, and suffers through a role better suited for Dustin "Screech" Diamond. So it's a good thing that the actor, whom we otherwise like, gets to die in a magnificent way. His fatality comes after a rather well-staged sequence on a train track, during which four of the main characters battle through jammed seat belts to evade a speeding locomotive, and, in their eyes, alter Death's plan.

However, an unseen piece of shrapnel feels the track's fateful vibrations and makes a beeline for Scott's mouth, slicing everything above the upper lip clean off. Stifler would say, "That's some good head!"

86. Getting slaughtered while trying to enjoy a bong

As Seen In: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer(1998)

Believe it or not, the 1998 horror sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summerisn't half-bad. OK, so it's full of inane dialogue, predictable scares, and zero logic, but, taken as a whole, it's a lot of dumb fun. Any movie that's audacious enough to have its killer threaten the heroine (in this case, Jennifer Love Hewitt) with words on a karaoke machine is clearly operating on some kind of moron savant level.

It's impossible to hate a film in which Jack Black—pre-credibility—hams it up as a white, wannabe Rasta who hits on anything with a skirt and owns a gigantic bong. Through Black's character, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer presents the ultimate nightmare set-up for any serious weed smoker: Just as he's about to indulge in some potent reefer, he's impaled by a fisherman's hook. Marijuana does kill.

85. Being ambushed by drugged-out kids, gutted, and having your best friend slit your throat

As Seen In: Bully (2001)

Some movie scenes are so intense, you need to a deep, long breath once they're over. The murder sequence in Larry Clark's Bully makes those scenes look like Saturday morning cartoons.

The teens' half-assed assassination plot against Bobby Kent (Nick Stahl), the son-of-a-bitch who routinely treats them like crap, is sloppy at best, the byproduct of nervous druggies guided by a so-called expert who really doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Despite their lack of finesse, this many-versus-one assassination is easily one of the creepiest on this list.

Clark presents the homicide like a scene from a horror movie. You've got the requisite gore of any classic slasher movie (slashed throat, spilled guts). The edits are increasingly erratic, quickly alternating between the reactions of the scared shitless and the impromptu slayers running on various drugs and pure adrenaline. Put those elements all together and Bully's centerpiece is more frightening than most horror films.

84. Getting snatched up by a shark mid-monologue

As Seen In: Deep Blue Sea (1999)

"Nature can be lethal, but it doesn't hold a candle to man." That's just a small part of the tongue-in-cheek pretentiousness heard in Samuel L. Jackson's nearly minute-long monologue in Deep Blue Sea. When the super-engineered shark finally pops up to cut Sammy's extended dialogue moment short, it really shouldn't be a surprise—after all, he's standing right next to a water hole the entire time.

Still, it's Samuel L. Jackson, the biggest name in a cast that also includes LL Cool J and Michael Rapaport. He can't die so early into the movie, right? Well, as the above image makes clear, yes. Yes he can. And, presuming you're able to accept the cheesy CGI, it's quite a jolt.

83. Watching your family get slaughtered before you're speared to death

As Seen In: Caligula (1979)

Anyone who's ever been all hot and bothered by a mainstream Hollywood sex scene has director Tinto Brass and Penthouse founder Bob Guccione to thank. Working together on Caligula, a racy biopic about the slain Roman emperor, Brass and Guccione ushered big-time cinema into a new age of large-scale exploitation. Caligula is regarded as the first movie to ever feature graphic sex scenes acted out by famous actors. Everything has a starting point.

The filmmakers looked beyond basic humping when making Caligula as hardcore as they possibly could. The dramatization of Caligula's (Malcolm McDowell) assassination is pretty damn explicit, holding little back as the emperor's family is slaughtered and the man himself is repeatedly pierced by spears. The sequence is so gruesome that you'll wish the sex scenes were still in effect. It doesn't take much, though.

82. Getting lectured about team sports with a baseball bat

As Seen In: The Untouchables (1987)

Gangster movies have been mighty kind to the Louisville Slugger corporation. Guns might be the most easily identifiable weapon-of-choice for mobsters and violent criminals, but the baseball bat has always been the heavily employed second option. Fittingly, America's pastime is one of Al Capone's (Robert De Niro) "enthusiasms," a lifelong passion that the legendary gangster shares with a table full of tuxedo-clad criminals and deviants.

It's one thing to simply deliver a monologue that explains how baseball is a team sport, not a one-man show for individual statistics, and it's another to demonstrate how to effectively swing down on a low pitch by clubbing one of your guest's skulls into the table. What does any good MLB captain know? The job is all about leading by example. Also, in Capone's case, the fear of barbarism.

81. Failing during an Iron Lotus

As Seen In: Blades of Glory (2007)

The first time you watch Blades of Glory, the "Iron Lotus" scene really comes out of nowhere. Up until then, Will Ferrell's figure skating comedy is just that, a typically silly look at an immature man-child (much like Ron Burgundy and Ricky Bobby) who finally grows up.

Hoping to learn how to pull off the infamous, highly dangerous maneuver known as the Iron Lotus, Chazz Michael Michaels (Ferrell) and his new partner, Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder), watch a video showing the only time anyone has ever tried to move. The footage takes place in North Korea and quickly becomes a horror show: Mistiming her jump leads to the female skater's decapitation as her male counterpart's skate blade swings upward.

Thanks to Ferrell's presence, the jolting image work. Just not, you know, if it would've happened to him and not some anonymous CGI person.

80. Eviscerated while partying in a nightclub

As Seen In: The Collection(2012)

At first, it's the ideal situation: You're dancing and most likely boozed up inside a trendy, crowded nightclub where everyone—girls, boys, whatever—just wants to have fun. It's a Friday night, the music is pumping, and the next round's on someone else.

You're having such a blast that, like the characters in The Collection's opening sequence, you're unable to see the all-black-everything madman hanging out way up in the rafters, the guy who's somehow erected a massive, dance-floor-spanning rake that's about to sweep through the venue and dice everyone in attendance into human kabobs.

Just hope that the last song you'll hear isn't "Gangnam Style."

79. Getting run over by the Gingerdead Man

As Seen In: Gingerdead Man(2005)

Any way you look at it, getting run over by some jerk-off who can't drive is bad news. But what if said jerk-off was actually a psychotic, walking, talking, human-sized gingerbread cookie? One that spoke in Gary Busey's voice, mind you? The first thought that'd come to the victim's head: Of all the terrible drivers in the world, why'd I have to come across the one from that awful straight-to-DVD movie starring Gary Busey?" Sometimes the gods need a laugh too.

78. Making out with a sexy alien

As Seen In: Species (1995)

Just imagine what would happen if alien life forms really prowled the streets of Earth in search of mates—and all the while looking like Natasha Henstridge. Men would be screwed.

Say that was the reality of picking up women in bars and nightclubs: There's a beautiful blonde eyeing you from across the bar. You approach her, buy her a drink, and feel warm inside when she asks to see your apartment. Inside your pad, she undresses, grabs your head, and starts wrestling your tongue with hers. Sounds great, right? Sure, until her alien tongue gets violent, makes you panic, and jabs a hole in the back of your skull.

Still not into Match.com?

77. Having your lifeforce sucked out by a Spider Woman

As Seen In: Spookies(1986)

Separated from his equally dimwitted friends, goofball Peter (Peter Dain) wanders around the house of horrors that's at the center of the cheap-o 1986 flick Spookies. Most of his buddies have already been killed off by some kind of Halloween-dimestore-costume-wearing antagonist, and now it's Peter's turn.

So what does he get: a beautiful woman who talks as if she's auditioning for the remake of Spike Lee's Girl 6, and who suddenly turns into that spider-looking monstrosity above, traps Peter in a wall-sized spider's web, and uses one of her appendages to completely deflate him. Which, of course, hurts even more because Peter thought he was going to have sex.

76. Getting crushed by a pounder

As Seen In: Con Air (1997)

Practically speaking, pounders are used to drive fence posts into the ground. In bombastic, heightened actions movies like Simon West's Con Air, pounders are used to crush bad guys like Cyrus Grissom (John Malkovich). Obviously the second implementation is the best one.

More than just a popcorn flick, Con Air could serve as fair warning to people who work on construction sites like the one that ends up being Grissom's final resting place: Steer clear of guys sporting unattractively long hair (a la Nicolas Cage's character), because if you cross them they'll put those pounders to wrongful use.

75. Having your head sandwiched between two massive weights

As Seen In: Final Destination 3 (2006)

Lewis's death in Final Destination 3 is one of the franchise's best examples of clever misdirection. Set in a weight room packed with grunting brutes, violently active machinery, and a wobbly boombox, the arrogant jock (played by the awesomely named Texas Battle) meets his maker in the least expected way possible.

Well, that's if you're focused on those loosely mounted swords resting above his head as he bangs out shoulder rows and defiantly curses the Grim Reaper. Just as Lewis verbally flips death the bird with his "I just win!" proclamations, his weight machine of choice crushes his skull like a gnat between two clapped hands. In all, Lewis's final scene embodies all that's great about the best Final Destination curtain calls: It's both insanely gory and tongue-in-cheek funny.

74. Being turned into a human pretzel

As Seen In: Halloween II(2009)

Rob Zombie's pair of Halloweenreboots are famously derided for having one-dimensional redneck characters, clunky screenplays, and wanton disregard for John Carpenter's original mythology. What even the most ardent of Michael Myers fanatics can't deny Mr. Zombie, though, is the respect he deserves for staging some of the most ferociously brutal death scenes in recent horror memory.

Case in point: the fiendishly impressive, pull-no-punches hospital massacre that opens 2009's Halloween II. When Myers stabs the nurses, his knife plunges connect like a lumberjack violently swinging an axe into the thickest tree imaginable. Even worse, though the actual act of murder isn't seen on screen, Myers dispatches one unlucky nurse by wrapping her limbs around a staircase banister as if he's auditioning for a cook position at an Auntie Anne's.

73. Catching a bullet from a cancer gun

As Seen In: Videodrome(1983)

The king of body horror, David Cronenberg filled his early cinematic oddities with all kinds of physical grotesqueries. A prime example of the acclaimed filmmaker's icky sensibilities is the superb science-fiction flick Videodrome, which follows a TV station president, Max Renn (James Woods), who falls victim to a mysterious broadcast signal's hallucinogenic and flesh-altering capabilities.

Near the film's end, Max assassinates the head of a weapons manufacturing company in front of a large crowd, but he doesn't just shoot him dead John Wilkes Booth style: Max blasts him with his "cancer gun," or, simply put, the revolting gun-shaped mass that used to be his hand. The "bullet" causes the victim to violently convulse while bubbling up into a blob of blood, guts, and general nastiness.

72. Being trapped inside the world's faultiest kitchen

As Seen In: Final Destination (2000)

Except for attractive teacher Mrs. Lewton's extravagant sendoff, all of the unprovoked homicides in 2000's Final Destination are relatively quick and basic. For the authority figure's last hurrah, screenwriters Glen Morgan, James Wong, and Jeffrey Reddick hatched a multi-step death that anticipated the increasingly overwrought sequences of later sequels.

Clearly, Mrs. Lewton (Kristen Cloke) isn't a science teacher; her end begins with her lousy decision to pour cold vodka into a hot mug, causing the mug to crack. The vodka steadily drips out, sending droplets into a computer's monitor, the explosion of which lodges a glass shard into Lewton's throat. She stumbles into the kitchen, where the streaming vodka puddle ignites the stove; on the ground after a vodka bottle flies her way, Lewton grabs for a towel but instead knocks a knife holder over. And, yes, she's still alive at this point.

But not for long. Once the stove goes boom, a chair crashes onto the knife lodged in her chest. The lesson here: Coffee mugs are for coffee, not booze.

71. Getting sliced into thirds

As Seen In: Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead(2009)

Yes, there really is a Wrong Turn franchise, following the reasonable success of the 2003 The Hills Have Eyes ripoff that starred Eliza Dushku and Emmanuelle Chriqui. As for the sequels, the cast is inconsequential. All that matters, in both the eyes of the directors and fans, is how vile the death scenes are, and boy do these Wrong Turn flicks keep upping the ante.

In Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead, there's a hideous, although undeniably ambitious, moment where a lunkhead named Brent (Charley Speed) gets penetrated by two tripwires that split him into evenly portioned thirds. Picture a Neapolitan cookie, only with human flesh instead of chewy, moist cake.

70. Getting bisected on the dance floor

As Seen In: Ghost Ship(2002)

Take your pick as to which one of these scenarios is worse. Exhibit A: It's nighttime on your vacation cruise liner, and all of the vessel's occupants are crowding onto the dance floor to let loose . Suddenly, a long, inescapable wire swooshes through the crowd like a jump rope, bisecting each of the dancers and leaving one nasty, crimson-covered pile of mutilated corpses.

Pretty bad, right? Now consider this: You could also be the sole survivor (like the little girl at the beginning of Ghost Ship). The only reason you're alive is that the ship's captain protected you, but when the massacre ends, the top half of his head falls to the ground right before your eyes. A year's worth of therapy sessions wouldn't even begin to remedy that memory.

69. Freezing to death in a hedge maze

As Seen In: The Shining (1980)

In his adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Shining, Stanley Kubrick makes a big deal out of the labyrinthine hedge maze that neighbors the malevolent Overlook Hotel. There are two sequence where Wendy Torrance (Shelley Duvall) and her young son, Danny (Danny Lloyd), playfully stroll through it, one of which is creeped out by the mentally fractured Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), who ominously watches them by leering at a model of the maze that's inside the hotel.

Kubrick's fixation on the topiary construction pays off during The Shining's climax. Jack, having utterly lost his mind, chases his son through the maze, but the little guy is smarter than his dad. Danny starts leaving backward footprints to confuse Pops, and when the kid safely exits the maze, Jack is left trapped without a clue as to how to get out. It's the dead of winter, and Jack won't make it through the night.

68. Losing your penis to a piranha

As Seen In: Piranha 3D (2010)

In a raunchy, anything-goes 3D movie about killer fish tearing scantily clad spring breakers into pieces, it's only right that the most loathsome male character receive the nastiest comeuppance.

In director Alexandre Aja's smutty horror romp Piranha 3D, Jerry O'Connell plays a low-rent pornographer who's about as likable as foot fungus, and just as sensitive. Considering that Aja's film has the gall to include an extended underwater ballet sequence featuring two bosomy women, there's no shock once some piranha bite off O'Connell's wiener, garble it up, and spit it back at the camera. Frankly, it would've been disappointing had Aja not thrown genitals into three dimensions.

67. Asphyxiating and decompressing in the Martian atmosphere

As Seen In: Total Recall (1990)

There's a reason why humans don't exist on Mars, and it has to do with a little thing called "air."

Allow the evil Vilos Cohaagen (Ronny Cox) to demonstrate what we mean. As Total Recall draws to a close, the heroic Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) finds a way to sends himself, Cohaagen, and Melina (Rachel Ticotin) hurling out into the Martian atmosphere, which isn't fit for human lungs. Quaid and Melina manage to get back indoors, but Cohaagen, as you can see here, chokes to death while the decompression puffs his cheeks and bulges his eyes. Looks uncomfortable.

66. Catching a spear to the forehead

As Seen In: House of Wax(2005)

If you saw 2005's horror remake House of Waxin a theater when it first opened, you'll no doubt recall the amount of walkouts that happened once Paris Hilton's airhead character died. The death occurs about two-thirds into the movie, and, for those ticket-buyers who only dropped cash to see their least favorite untalented celebrity buy the farm, it signaled the film's true end, rolling credits be damned.

At least their money wasn't wasted on a lame, knife-meets-chest demise. No, director Jaume Collet-Serra made sure to stage her final scene as a long, drawn-out showstopper; the world demanded it. Trying to evade the killer inside an abandoned sugar mill, Paige (Hilton) hides for a minute before she's discovered. Then a large spear finds her forehead.

And, just to make an already painful death all the more excruciating, Paige's head pushes down to the spear's bottom once both her knees and the spear touch the ground. Blame it on gravity.

65. Eating acid spit by a pissed-off Dilophosaurus

As Seen In: Jurassic Park (1993)

A recurring theme throughout this countdown is the punishment greedy characters must receive. For instance, there's Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), an architect working at the eponymous resort in Jurassic Park who decides to steal some dinosaur embryos and make a run for it.

On his way out, though, Nedry takes a wrong turn and ends up smack-dab in Dilosophaurus territory. This friendly-looking creature first inspects him like a curious canine but then spits a thick, venomous goo into Nedry's face. After dropping the embryo canisters, Nedry gets back into his vehicle and is greeted by the scaly spitter. It's chow time.

64. Having a spike-filled metal mask hammered onto your face

As Seen In: Black Sunday (1960)

The setting is Moldavia, circa 1630. The victim is Asa Vajda (Barbara Steele), a witch who's about to die for her supernatural mischief. Iconic Italian horror filmmaker Mario Bava's 1960 gem Black Sunday opens as Asa is set to burn at the stake, but before her captors light the fire, they place a metal mask with a spike-laden interior on her face, which they then pound into her skull with a hammer.

The rest of Black Sunday centers on Asa's ghost reeking cruel vengeance upon the citizens of Moldavia two centuries later, and it's easy to see why she'd be so upset.

63. Getting raped to death in the shower by a snowman

As Seen In: Jack Frost(1997)

There's no dancing around the truth: Jokes about a woman getting raped and subsequently murdered are wrong. But don't blame us; blame the filmmakers behind Jack Frost. They're the ones that turned a fucking snowman into a murdering rapist. One that, keep in mind, doesn't melt when covered in hot water. We're just reporting facts.

If you don't smirk at that description, you've clearly never seen the delightfully bad 1997 horror film Jack Frost, whose claim to fame is the aforementioned scene featuring a young, then-unknown Shannon Elizabeth and a Psycho-loving snow monster. Her character is enjoying a relaxing bath when, suddenly, the water turns into snowy sludge and Jack Frost emerges, his hand around her waist and her arms stuck inside his chest.

And how does she ultimately perish? Jack, with a smile on his face the whole time, pounds her into the wall.

62. Getting eaten alive by a Tyrannosaurus Rex while on the toilet

As Seen In: Jurassic Park(1993)

All throughout Jurassic Park's first act, sleazy lawyer Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferraro) does everything in his power to make audience members loathe him. He's obnoxious, selfish, and basically asking to get killed the entire time, so it's only right that screenwriters Michael Crichton (who wrote the original novel) and David Koepp punch his clock while he's dropping a deuce in a rinky-dink Porta Potty.

As the unstoppable T-Rex exposes Gennaro and eyes him down, it's totally acceptable for viewers to clap, though if they'd rather hold their applause until the flesh-eating dinosaur bobs for said lawyer and chews him up, that's fine, too.

61. Playing the victim in an obsessed Elizabeth Báthory fan's dream come true

As Seen In: Hostel 2 (2007)

If given the chance to pay top dollar to murder someone, how would you do it? On second thought, keep the answer to yourself.

Chances are, though, that it wouldn't be anything like Hostel 2 character Mrs. Báthory's (named after storied Hungarian serial killer Elizabeth Báthory) desired actions. She pays to have naive Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) tied up and hung upside down above a bathtub surrounded by candles. With a scythe Mrs. Bathory patiently slices and dices Lorna back and front, writhing in visible pleasure as the girl's blood cascades down upon her.

60. Getting pulverized by a falling stone pinnacle

As Seen In: Hot Fuzz(2007)

As a comedy, Hot Fuzzis hilarious, tremendously effective, and sharp-witted when it comes to sending up the tired formulas seen in action films and buddy cop adventures. However, as a vehicle for several sequences of gore and slaughter, director Edgar Wright's 2007 box office hit had surprising, unexpected force.

When people die in Hot Fuzz, they don't exit without leaving mental scars in the minds of viewers. Check out how well-meaning journalist Tim Messenger (Adam Buxton) reports from his final crime scene: While snooping around church grounds, his entire body, from the head downward, is caved in by a stone pinnacle that's sent from the church's rooftop by a cloaked killer. And since Hot Fuzz is all about the laughs, Messenger's fatally punctured body stumbles around a bit before dropping to the ground.

59. Getting doused with toxic waste and then ran over

As Seen In: RoboCop(1987)

Things truly go from awful to fuck-my-life for villainous henchmen Emil (Paul McCrane) during RoboCop's bonkers climax. First, he swerves into a giant vat filled with toxic waste while he's trying to run over the titular hero (Peter Weller). Then, he stumbles out the wreckage looking horrible, with his fingers freakishly extended, his skin covered in slime, and his face bubbled up and contorted (think the Elephant Man suffering from a stroke).

And just when the viewer thinks it can't get any worse for Emil, his boss, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith), unintentionally runs him over, Emil's body erupting into chunky bits (think a watermelon during a Gallagher bit).

58. Having your faced decimated by compact discs

As Seen In: Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth(1992)

To increase this scenario's horror, let's pretend that the poor guy in Hellraiser III: Hell on Earthis a diehard rap lover in the classic sense. He's more Kendrick Lamar than Trinidad James, and the only kind of music he loathes even more than Southern hip-hop is EDM. Just the thought of Ludacris's David Guetta-produced single "Rest of My Life" makes him want to hurt a puppy.

So, the fact that dude meets his maker by taking several sharp, possessed compact discs through his skin and into his skull is made even worse by the artists' names on said CDs: Calvin Harris, Avicii, Zedd. Which are the last words he'll ever see, since a few of the discs have lodged right below his eyeballs.

Pinhead would be proud of such a sadistic scenario.

57. Crossing paths with a vagina dentata

As Seen In: Teeth (2007)

Every hookup in writer-director Michael Lichtenstein's disturbing 2007 horror-comedy Teeth will hurt male viewers especially, considering that Dawn O'Keefe (played sweetly by Jess Weixler) has a rare case of "vagina dentata." And, yes, that means exactly what you're thinking: Her genitals are packed with chompers.

Those private teeth can't help but bite off the joint of any guy who upsets her during sex. Which happens more than once in Teeth, but never more sickeningly than the sequence in which Dawn thinks she's bumping uglies with a decent guy, for a change, only to find out that he's just as scummy as the next soon-to-be-dickless fella. See, it pays to be nice.

56. Ingesting a pill that makes you blow up like a balloon

As Seen In: Live and Let Die(1973)

Villains in James Bond movies are rarely killed in casual ways. If we had to pick one, though, in regards to the most unenviable way to go out, it'd be the manner in which Live and Let Diebad guy Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto) breathes his last bit of air.

Before Kananga is able to lower him into a shark tank, Bond (Roger Moore) escapes, tangles with the doctor, and slips a shark gun pellet into his foe's mouth. Somehow (nobody ever pinned 007 movies as beacons of scientific truth) the pellet makes Kananga blow up like a blimp, sending him floating out of the lair and into the sky, where he explodes.

55. Losing your head to a windowpane flying off of a flatbed truck

As Seen In: The Omen(1976)

Director Richard Donner's intelligent horror picture The Omenhas rightfully earned a reputation as an elegant, mood-over-gore exercise. Which isn't to say that it's without any truly savage scenes, though. Just watch what happens to secondary protagonist Keith Jennings (David Warner) when he bends down to tie his shoes in an alley in Israel.

Thanks to Damien's (Harvey Spencer Stephens) birth, demonic forces have been causing murders and suicides, and it's precisely that kind of unseen presence that compels a flatbed truck to speed through the alley in reverse, which sends a lengthy sheet of glass flying through the air to sever Keith's head from his shoulders.

54. Getting flattened by a steamroller

As Seen In: Maximum Overdrive(1986)

Don't expect Stephen King to ever give a lengthy, candid explanation about why his lone effort as a movie director, 1986's hysterically inane Maximum Overdrive, is so piss-poor. He's gone on record to say that, during the film's production, he was on all kinds of drugs. Thus, the entire production is a blur to him.

Rather than question why the genius responsible for masterpieces like The Shining, Carrie, and Misery would've ever conceived a movie scene in which a possessed steamroller crushes a little kid on a baseball field, let's just embrace the complete insanity. It's a terrible way to go out for any youngster who loves America's pastime, but for open-minded, brains-off viewers of Maximum Overdrive, it's a tasteless hoot.

53. Getting impaled on an umbrella

As Seen In: Silent Night, Deadly Night 2(1987)

The next time you feel the urge to voluntarily watch a god-awful horror movie, might we suggest renting Silent Night, Deadly Night 2, a real shit sandwich of bad acting, absurd ideas, and unintentional humor. The film's apex of stupidity, however, is also its best moment, primarily because it's so audaciously twisted that one can't help but stand up and cheer once its over.

Apparently tired of seeing slasher movie villains kill characters with sharp objects, screenwriters Lee Harry and Joseph H. Earle conceived a never-seen-before way for Ricky Caldwell (Eric Freeman) to off one of his victims: He drives an umbrella through the man's chest and opens it once the front end has made it out of the guy's back. Give them props for creativity.

52. Meeting a TV, headfirst

As Seen In: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors(1987)

The funniest of all horror movie villains, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) can't resist a one-liner when doing his dirty work. Arguably the best of Krueger pun is the one that caps off poor Jennifer's (Penelope Sudrow) death in the underrated A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.

Taking a smoke break, the mental patient surfs the channels before landing on a bland talk show that livens up once the host turns into Freddy. Jennifer inches closer toward the tube to inspect, when Freddy's heads pops out of the television set's top, his arms protrude from its sides, he grabs her, and rams her head into the screen.

The punctuating quote: "Welcome to primetime, bitch!" How can you not love that?

51. Getting flattened by a sheet of plate glass

As Seen In: Final Destination 2 (2003)

There's hardly a better setting for a complicated Final Destination death scene than a dentist's office. Inherently scary, a tooth doctor's chamber is a real house of horrors for people who hate drills, orange-flavored fluoride, and flossing. And in Final Destination 2, teenaged Tim (James Kirk) inadvertently thwarts Death's unsuccessful attempts to use the dentist's lair as an execution site. Unfortunately, he's too immature to avoid the Grim One's last-ditch effort.

As Tim and his mom exit the building, two of the other "survivors" yell at them, trying to warn the mother/son pair that Tim's next on the fatal menu. But idiotic Tim is too preoccupied with a small army of pigeons to heed their calls, leading to an enormous plate of glass slipping from a construction worker's control and flattening Timmy like an ant under a Timberland boot.

You might ask, "Wouldn't his head just crash through the glass?" Probably, but who cares—shamelessly gory movie deaths don't get much more satisfying than this.

50. Having fish guts spread across your face for crows to peck

As Seen In: I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

Stuart Morse and Steven R. Monroe—the screenwriter and director of the 2012 I Spit on Your Grave remake, respectively—are two sick individuals. No complaints, of course. Any horror movie fan has to, at the very least, respect their extreme imaginations.

Following the same template as the 1978 original (savages rape woman; she takes gross revenge), Monroe's I Spit on Your Grave considerably ups the grossness. One of Jennifer's (Sarah Butler) methods of revenge finds her setting a bear trap that catches Stanley (Daniel Franzese); she then cuts a fish open, grabs a handful of its guts, and smears the innards all over Stanley's eyes, face, and chest.

It doesn't take long before famished crows swoop down and peck him to death, which Jennifer records on Stanley's own video camera.

49. Being stuck inside a doggy door as a garage door opens

As Seen In: Scream(1996)

Wes Craven's clever 1996 slasher classic Scream is many things, but one thing it's most certainly not is inventive when it comes to death scenes. Save for this one exception, the Ghostface killer's attacks are all accomplished with a knife, leaving much to be desired for gorehounds.

That's why Tatum's (Rose McGowan) swan song in the first Scream is a real delight. At first, Ghostface does use his blade, slicing a line down her arm to send a message. Once Tatum tries fleeing through the little doggy entrance at the bottom of the garage door, though, Ghostface takes advantage of the opportunity and opens the electronic door. Stuck in the canine-intended cutout, Tatum can't do anything but, um, scream as her head gets lodged in between the door and the roof.

48. Being trapped inside a sleeping bag that's then smashed into a tree

As Seen In: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood(1988)

Ask any diehard Friday the 13th franchise follower: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood contains one of Jason Voorhees' all-time greatest kills. Working to the scene's advantage is the fact that, unlike most of Friday's homicides, the masked maniac doesn't use a machete or any other weapon: He simply uses his own craftiness and bare hands.

As they so often do in these movies, a New Blood coed goes into the woods for a nice campout, but it's interrupted by Mr. Voorhees, who zips her into a sleeping bag that he then smashes into a tree like it's a dusty quilt and he's a cleanliness freak.

47. Riding in a car that's run over by a psychotic stuntman

As Seen In: Death Proof(2007)

Here's a four-for-one deal for those interested in crappy ways to die. The centerpiece of Quentin Tarantino's exploitation throwback Death Proof (one half of the sadly overlooked 2007 double-feature event, Grindhouse) is an expertly staged, no-holds-barred multiple homicide carried out by the homicidal Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) and his trusty, rigged-for-personal-safety (a.k.a. "death proof") muscle car. The quartet of sexy, carefree female victims never even knew what hit them.

As the ladies are joyriding on a dusky, open road, Mike shuts off his roadster's headlights and drives, pedal to the floor, straight into the ladies' car, riding over it like a monster truck. The impact sends one victim flying through the windshield, severs a second passenger's leg, causes another's head to smash into the steering wheel, and erases the last one's face with a spinning tire.

In a career that's in no way lacking in lasting images of carnage, Death Proof's car crash sequence remains a Tarantino highlight.

46. Being strapped to a bed for a year, unable to eat

As Seen In: Se7en (1995)

Call it the sadist's diet: For the "sloth" portion of his Seven Deadly Sins killing spree, John Doe (Kevin Spacey) straps a guy to a bed and leaves him there for one full year, depriving him of all but the most necessary nutrients. The image above, as well as this video clip, shows what the former child molester and drug dealer looks like when detectives David Mills (Brad Pitt) and William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) discover his whereabouts on the 365th day. Feel free to reignite that old Atkins weight loss plan now.

45. Getting your head blown off by a shotgun

As Seen In: Maniac (1980)

Some might call Maniac's infamous shotgun-to-the-head scene a case of twisted masochism, but, to us, it's simply badass. Handling the discomforting effects on director William Lustig's vile (yet awesome) exploitation flick, Tom Savini had to create several woman-skewering visuals, since the film's slasher is a disturbed sicko who loves scalping the ladies. But one sequence, where the horrid Frank Zito (Joe Spinell) must first kill the boyfriend before getting the girl, required a male victim—a change of pace.

Naturally, Savini opted to play the guy, thus sealing his place in horror's pantheon as one of the genre's most memorable casualties. He and his sexy friend are necking in a parked car when Zito, hooded and armed, leaps onto the car's hood, points his sawed-off weapon directly at Savini, and fires away. The result, which you can peep here, isn't pretty. But it is pretty fucking epic.

44. Becoming the human sacrifice in an otherwise joyous Pagan ritual

As Seen In: The Wicker Man (1973)

For this entry's purpose, do yourself a favor and forget that Nicolas Cage's remake of The Wicker Man exists. It's out of your minds? Cool, now we can acknowledge director Robin Hardy's original 1973 horror classic without distraction.

On its way to one of the best gut-punch endings of all time, The Wicker Man follows the never-been-laid, morally astute Scottish police officer Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) as he searches for a missing girl on the remote island known as Summerisle, where the inhabitants are always perky and the dread is palpable to everyone but poor Howie.

The lawman thinks that the missing schoolgirl is about to be offered up as a virgin sacrifice on May Day, when the residents of Summerisle participate in a Pagan ritual that appeases "the gods" and brings on a fresh harvest. Little does he know, unfortunately, that he's the virgin sacrifice—the girl was just bait.

By the time Howie wakes up and smells the burning wicker, it's far too late. The island's creepy citizens encircle the massive Wicker Man in which Howie is trapped as it burns, his killers holding hands and chanting happy-go-lucky folks songs. And, no, there aren't any bees.

43. Losing your penis in a bathtub

As Seen In: I Spit on Your Grave (1978)

The film's defenders will label this scene as the ultimate depiction of female empowerment, since Jennifer (Camille Keaton) is avenging her own vicious rape. In a film this ugly, nothing is that easy, though, which is why prefer to think of I Spit on Your Grave's coarsest scene as just plain nasty.

Matthew (Richard Pace), one of Jennifer's rapists, thinks that she's not mad about what he and his buddies did to her, and welcomes her efforts to masturbate him while he's taking a bath. As he nears climax, his closed eyes prevent him from noticing that Jennifer is about to cut his dick off. Which she does.

42. Getting hung up by deer antlers while topless

As Seen In: Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

Take a guess why the slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Nightangered so many concerned parents back when it first opened in theaters in November 1994. Wait—befre you guess, a few clues.

For one, the movie's killer is a madman dressed in a Santa Claus costume, and, worst of all, sadistic Saint Nick prefers mutilating people over climbing down chimneys and handing out nicely wrapped presents. He's also a reprehensible pervert, as seen when he manhandles a topless coed (played by '80s scream queen deluxe Linnea Quigley) and hangs her from a deer's head.

How's that for Christmas spirit?

41. Getting violently dragged across a ceiling while invisible blades savage your body

As Seen In: A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984)

Due to his dreamworld existence, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is able to kill his sleeping victims in totally inhuman (but imaginative) ways. And over the course of nine films, the undead burn victim/child molester has consistently one-upped himself by using all kinds of inanimate objects to his deadly advantage. Yet, despite all of his murderous innovation, it's Freddy's first-ever (on screen, at least) kill that remains his most chilling. Best of all, it's one of his simplest executions.

Sleeping comfortably alongside her boyfriend, Tina (Amanda Wyss) confronts Freddy in her nightmare, and, subsequently, gets yanked up the bedroom wall and across the ceiling. As Rod (Nick Corri) helplessly watches, Tina's flesh rips open, the work of an unseen blade. Her life comes to an end as she collapses into a bloody heap.

39. Inflating your body until it explodes

As Seen In: Big Trouble in Little China(1986)

A helpful suicide handbook would have to argue that the task is best accomplished as quickly and painlessly as possible. A gun to the head, perhaps, or a lethal injection.

The apparently masochistic Thunder, in John Carpenter's campy genre smorgasbord Big Trouble in Little China, takes the opposite approach to self-termination. Sick of it all, he inflates his entire body into what's best described as a human hot-air balloon. Which, of course, ultimately bursts. Where's that handbook when you need it?

39. Having your eyes gouged out, back broken, and body thrown down an elevator shaft

As Seen In: Marked for Death(1990)

By the time Screwface is about to die in Marked for Death, one can imagine him thinking, Damn, why couldn't John Hatcher (Steven Seagal) have just shot me in the face?

Instead, Screwface endures an incredibly savage series of knockdowns, eye-gouges, and cracked vertebrae (caused when Hatcher drives his knee into his opponent's back) before he's tossed down an elevator shaft, the bottom of which greets Screwface with a pointy metal pipe that's ready to impale.

38. Getting your head bitten off by Sasquatch

As Seen In: Abominable(2006)

First, the poor fool who crosses path with the pissed-off, starving Sasquatch at the center of Abominable would have to accept the fact that, yes, Bigfoot is real. And he's also a man-eating monster.

Second, he or she would need to be quick on their feet, lest Sasquatch open sesame and devour his or her entire head, a la the best moment in this otherwise dreary creature feature that should've premiered on the SyFy channel, not in limited theaters in October 2006. If only Harry and the Hendersons was law for hairy cryptids.

37. Being burnt alive while trapped inside a tanning bed

As Seen In: Final Destination 3 (2006)

In the Final Destination universe, it's not the token black character who dies first, or early on—more often than not, it's the token babe. Case in point: Final Destination 3, which dispatches two ladies, Ashley and Ashlyn (Chelan Simmons and Crystal Lowe) before the half-hour mark. Take heart: Mary Elizabeth Winstead makes it to the final scene, so that's a nice consolation.

As for Ashley and Ashyln, their need to fake-bake turns them into overcooked grizzle. Lying in tanning beds—topless, of course—Dumb and Dumber end up trapped inside the scalding cocoons through a Rube Goldberg-esque series of only-in-Final-Destination-movies happenings. Once the temperature exceeds 350 degrees, the light bulbs pop, skin bubbles, and the poor gals are covered in flame showers. Who would've thought skin cancer would ever be the preferred option?

36. Getting impaled by Sylvester Stallone on a stalactite

As Seen In: Cliffhanger(1993)

Lesson learned from any Sylvester Stallone action movie: Don't ever piss the Veinster off. Because when he punches, those meaty fists connect with the force of bricks with knuckles.

Thus, in a way, Kynette (Leon Robinson) is actually better off when Gabe Walker (Stallone) ends their slugfest by lifting his body into the air and straight into a pointy stalactite. If Sly's fists of fury didn't introduce Leon to uncontrollable pain, that dripstone sure as hell did.

35. Sleeping on a mattress that's folded in half

As Seen In: Freddy vs. Jason(2003)

Not one to be outdone by arch-rival Freddy Krueger, hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees tries to one-up Krueger's A Nightmare on Elm Street bed death scene, the one featuring a young Johnny Depp. And, being that Jason's brand of homicide has always been much more on-the-nose, the mattress moment in Freddy vs. Jasondefinitely one-ups Krueger's work in terms of sheer brutality.

As an unsuspecting teenager lies asleep in his comfortable bed, Jason walks into dude's room and folds the mattress in half like he was shutting an open book. It's one thing to be suddenly woken up by, like, your mom—imagine the shock when you wake because your spine has just snapped like a wishbone.

34. Serving as the main course in a zombie feast

As Seen In: Day of the Dead (1985)

Romer's Dead movies are known for their inevitable feeding frenzies, like the bikers' last stand in Dawn of the Dead. But in Romero's third, and most extreme, flesh-eater flick, Day of the Dead, makeup master Tom Savini outdid himself. The scene where the ghouls turn the villainous soldiers into an open buffet, notably feasting on the meanest bad guy, Captain Rhodes (Joe Pilato), stands as a crowning achievement in gore.

Day of the Dead's heart rests in the character of Logan (Richard Liberty), a mad scientist determined to calm the zombies down and restore their humanity; his best pupil is Bub (Howard Sherman), a former soldier who listens to a Walkman and salutes his military superiors even though he's dead.

Rhodes, completely against Logan's work, hates Bub, so it's only right that Bub cause Rhodes' demise. After Rhodes abandons his men and tries to flee on his own, he runs into Bub, who shoots him badly enough to disable the cap as a swarm of zombies pop out from behind Door Number One. They make quick work of Rhodes, tearing his body in half, though not without the strong-willed asshole firing off one last "Fuck you" in the form of "Choke on 'em!" One look at this clip proves that Romero's zombies have plenty to cough up.

33. Getting sucked into a bed

As Seen In: A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984)

When horror historians cite this scene as the most unforgettable of all A Nightmare on Elm Streetdeath moments, it's easy to assume that they're doing so simply because the victim is played by a then-anonymous Johnny Depp. But, alas, such presumptions would only be shortchanging what's easily a highpoint in Wes Craven's jam-packed career of memorable moments.

It's the kind of unrealistic murder that makes viewers think twice about doing something as routine climbing into bed. With his headphones on, Depp's character closes his eyes and prepares to enter dreamland. The sleepy trip is quickly stopped by Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), as Depp gets swallowed into the bed and spat back out as a geyser of blood.

32. Catching a frisbee with your throat

As Seen In: Hard Ticket to Hawaii(1987)

It's a game we've all played at one time or another, especially those who own dogs that love outdoor activities. The frisbee goes as far back as the Slinky, and it's hardly known for its life-threatening hazards.

Then again, the late B-movie filmmaker Andy Sidaris was never known for his subtlety, so it's perfectly acceptable when a seemingly innocent round of frisbee turns bloody. A few back-and-forth throws are suddenly, fatally halted when one guy misses the circular object with his hands and feels it lodge deeply into his throat, blood spurting as everyone present realizes that they've just witnessed history's first-ever frisbee death.

31. Being trapped inside a locked trailer, blind, with a poisonous snake on the loose

As Seen In: Kill Bill: Vol. 2(2004)

During their fierce, knockdown fight inside the trailer in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 2, vengeful Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) and the cold-blooded Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) are (mostly) evenly matched, coming together for one of Tarantino's most memorable battles. And, ever the devilishly imaginative filmmaker, the prolific director concludes the match-up brilliantly.

Already missing an eye, Elle gets her other one ripped out by Ms. Kiddo, rendering her sightless and vulnerable to the venomous black mamba that's slithering around the trailer. Once Beatrix locks the vehicle's only door, it's only a matter of time before her blind nemesis unknowingly puts the wrong foot forward and touches the deadly snake.

30. Getting sliced up by a spinning propeller

As Seen In: Raiders of the Lost Ark(1981)

When fighting a man who's much bigger than you are, it's always important to stage the brawl in an arena where you can use surrounding objects to your advantage. Much like how Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) defeats the bald and hulking German bruiser during Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In a one-on-one match, Indy's opponent would most likely whoop him, but in a bout that's accompanied by spinning propeller blades? All Mr. Jones has to do is maneuver in such a way that pushes the German bruiser backwards into the blades, turning him into human tartare.

29. Having a shotgun rammed into your anus, ready to discharge

As Seen In: I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

As discussed earlier, Steven R. Monroe's 2010 remake of the 1978 exploitation flick I Spit on Your Grave is nothing if not creatively appalling. Jennifer (Sarah Butler)—a rape victim who was left for dead but somehow came to and plotted out a massive revenge scheme—saves her nuttiest concept for Sheriff Storch (Andrew Howard), the ringleader of the crew that assaulted her.

She knocks him out, waits for him to wake up, sodomizes him with his own shotgun, and leaves the weapon stuck in his ass. A string runs from the trigger to the sheriff's dumbest, currently unconscious accomplice's wrist. The moment the other guy's eyes open, his movement will pull the trigger and blows Storch's innards out.

28. Sitting on a toilet in a stall full of angry bees

As Seen In: Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Oh, the toilet—there's arguably no place on which a person can be any more vulnerable. Seated and ready to handle your business, so to speak, a person's short-lived (ideally, anyhow) stay inside a bathroom is one of pants-down defenselessness. There's no better place for a horror movie's killer to attack his or her victims, which is something that the antagonist in Sleepaway Camp surely realizes.

The killer is also very creative. So, when it's time to get rid of one male character in the film, the killer waits for the guy to position himself on the crapper, sticks a broom through the outer handle to lock it tight, and drops an agitated beehive into the stall. Going number two has never been so grotesque.

27. Getting stomped out by a leprechaun on a pogo stick

As Seen In: Leprechaun (1993)

The titular baddie in Leprechaun, much like the diminutive Chucky in Child's Play, is the kind of horror movie villain that requires complete suspension of disbelief in order to be scary.

Any healthy adult who gets overpowered by this gold-chasing shrimp deserves the most humiliating death scene imaginable, so it's only right that one of Leprechaun's victims in the 1993 flick receives an offing worthy of a children's playground.

The little demon hops onto a pogo stick and bounces around the guy's chest, eventually piercing both flesh and bone. Another option: He could've choked him with a hula hoop.

26. Having your head forced into a drill

As Seen In: City of the Living Dead (1980)

Nobody dies pleasantly in Lucio Fulci's movie. The Italian horror master never let his characters get off easy. Case in point: this poor schmuck from 1980's hardcore City of the Living Dead.

The film is about super-powered zombies that break out of Hell to feed upon anything in sight; this scene in particular, though, his nothing to do with reanimated corpses. Instead, there's an angry father, his daughter's boyfriend, and a power drill. Actually, we should say "his daughter's weak, butter-soft boyfriend," since the chump never fights back as Daddy Deadliest slowly pushes his temple into the rapidly spinning machine.

The actual death is undesirable in and of itself, but knowing that you perished because you're a coward? Such a bad look.

25. Being stuffed into a wood chipper

As Seen In: Fargo (1996)

Technically, the wood chipper isn't what kills Carl (Steve Buscemi) in Joel and Ethan Coen's dark comedy classic Fargo—it's the axe that his former crime partner, Gaear (Peter Stormare) swings into him.

Think about it, though: After you die, wouldn't you like to have your body buried in a nice, scenic cemetery, where loved ones can visit and pay their respects? Or, if not a proper burial, cremation, which would allow those same family members to keep your remains in their possession? Either one sounds ideal compared to some low-level crook pushing your dead carcass into a mash-up device that's normally intended for tree branches.

24. Getting your head caved in by a hammer

As Seen In: Kill List (2012)

From top to bottom, English genre filmmaker Ben Wheatley's 2012 standout Kill List is disturbing, discomforting, and hypnotically mysterious. As the final credits roll, one has the feeling that he or she has just been assaulted by an exceptionally violent motion picture, but, similar to the virtually bloodless The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Kill List isn't all that graphic. However, when it does get nasty, it's difficult to watch.

Wheatley cleverly saves the film's most startling image for its middle section, spending the prefacing minutes establishing an ambiance of dread. When hitman Jay (Neil Maskell) has a mark put his head onto a kitchen table in order to hit it with a hammer multiple times (with incredibly realistic makeup effects adding to the effect), it's unexpected, confrontational, and the perfect way to leave viewers on edge for the rest of the movie.

What's even more unsettling is the fact that the guy welcomes Jay's hammer, but we'll leave that explanation for you to discover.

23. Suffocating in the crapper of a dirty outhouse

As Seen In: Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers(1988)

Talk about adding insult to injury. In the sleazy horror sequel Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers, the homicidal Angela (Pamela Springsteen) lures the unsuspecting Ally (Valerie Hartman) outdoors with a faux love letter, "written" by a guy Ally adores. Once Ally is in her midst, Angela first stabs her in the stomach, which, by the end of the scene, almost seems friendly.

Rather than just let Ally bleed out, Angela pushes her victim's entire body into a grungy outhouse's glory hole. Inside the totally unsanitary toilet, Ally suffocates under mounds of feces as Angela relentlessly pokes her with a stick to keep her from escaping. Hopefully they have showers in heaven.

22. Getting sliced into little cubes by laser beams

As Seen In: Resident Evil(2002)

In the movie adaptation of Resident Evil, the Umbrella Corporation's underground headquarters is, simply put, a death trap. The places that aren't overrun by zombies are rigged with elaborate booby traps ready to silence anyone who's unfortunate enough to piss off the HQ's angry A.I., Red Queen.

Long before any of the film's living dead are introduced, military leader James Shade (Colin Salmon) and a few of his underlings attempt to walk the entryway of the Queen's chamber. Without any warning, the passageway's entrance and exit lock down and blue laser beams travel from one end to the other, slicing through anything in their paths.

Shade is the last man standing, having dodged the single beams, but then the Red Queen displays her morbid sense of humor: As Salmon awaits the next beam, the laser transforms into an grid that cuts him into tiny little cubes.

21. Getting your head sliced open by a car engine

As seen in: Final Destination 3 (2006)

For his brief screen time, Frankie Cheeks (Sam Easton) is Final Destination 3’s resident horndog, so it’s only right that he flat-lines on the grounds of a place that sells, that’s right, corn dogs. Waiting for his fast food order, Frankie’s totally oblivious to the runaway truck that’s careening down the road behind him—he’s apparently never glanced into his rear-view mirror before.

The freak-out hell truck (word to Wesley Willis) smashes into the back of Frankie’s whip; the collision hurls the truck’s engine, its blades still ferociously spinning, right into the back of Mr. Cheeks’ car. The result: Frankie’s head gets mangled with the efficiency of a chainsaw slicing through a watermelon.

20. Having your faced burn off by acid

As Seen In: Seed of Chucky(2004)

Every now and then, stunt casting works, especially in a movie that would otherwise leave serious cinephiles completely uninterested. For the dismissible Child's Play sequel Seed of Chucky, the filmmakers reached directly for admirers of trashy midnight movies when they hired Pink Flamingosdirector John Waters to play a small role. But, instead of just having the always game-for-whatever Waters walk on and wave, they gave him something special to do.

In an overly dramatic but nevertheless cheekily humorous scene, killer doll Chucky spooks Waters' character, causing a bodily jolt that sends him flying backwards to knock over a jar full of acid. The deadly liquid pours onto his head, causing half of his face to melt off like dripping, gooey wax.

19. Starring in a snuff film

As Seen In: A Serbian Film (2011)

Following over an hour's worth of horrific, tasteless imagery (read: newborn porn), A Serbian Film's final act is largely comprised of a feverish flashback, with the protagonist, Milos (Srdjan Todorovic), gradually piecing together a night full of drug use and horrific moviemaking.

His first flash involves a woman, flat on her stomach and tied to a dirty bed. Milos remembers the film crew (led by Vukmir) ordering him around via a concealed earpiece while he fucks her. First, Vukmir commands him to pound on her back, and then Milos is given a ridiculously large machete, and then he's ordered to lop off her...let's stop there.

18. Having your chest cut open by a huge buzzsaw

As Seen In: High Tension (2003)

High Tension's sickest death scene is also the main reason why we're able to forgive director Alexandre Aja and his co-writer, Grégory Levasseur, for the script's clichéd and plot twist that precedes the chainsaw sequence. Just when we thought High Tension had officially jumped the shark and crapped on everything it'd previously done so well, this scene's unbelievably raw nature left us stunned.

In it, the killer (whose identity we won't divulge here, in light of spoilers) jumps onto the hood of a car, cuts through the windshield with his trusty chainsaw and slices into the driver's chest and neck. The blood, gushing out like a fire hose, covers the damsel-in-distress seated in the backseat (which you can see above). Without High Tension's revolting power, we wouldn't have the tits and guts of Piranha 3D (also directed by Aja) to love, so be thankful.

17. Writhing as a razor trap slices you to ribbons

As Seen In: Saw II (2005)

Frankly, every death scene from every Saw movie could've made this countdown, but, unlike the Final Destination gags, the Jigsaw's money shots were always shot with erratic, Ritalin-deficient editing, obnoxiously loud music, and zero subtlety. They're all exceedingly unpleasant ways to die, sure, but who could ever tell, what with the Saw directors turning each sequence into an industrial music video?

There is one Saw death, however, that leaves a lasting, cringe-inducing imprint. In the underrated Saw II, Addison (Emmanuelle Vaugier) reaches into a glass box to fetch a needle, but the closer she gets to said needle, the more the strategically placed razors carve into her wrists. Whether she keeps trying for the needle or pulls her arms back out, either way she's screwed. Those blood-tinged tears on her face tell the whole story.

16. Getting sliced clean in half by a glass door

As Seen In: Thir13een Ghosts(2001)

It's shame that director Steve Beck's stylish and imaginative remake of William Castle's campy 1960 crowd-pleaser 13 Ghosts suffers from such a crappy script. On a purely visual level, 2001's Thir13een Ghosts (buffoonish spelling aside)radiates sadistic elegance, its central location (a decadent mansion) adorned with glass floors and walls, giving it one of horror cinema's all-time greatest set designs.

Too bad everything involving the story and characters is junk. Well, except for the death of unlikable lawyer Ben Moss (J.R. Bourne). Unwittingly standing in the middle of a sliding glass door's path, Ben gets rapidly, perfectly sliced in half. The silver lining here: At least he's unable to feel any pain or see the front half of his physique slide down the glass, since, you know, his brain was cleaved in two.

15. Biting the curb

As Seen In: American History X (1998)

There are only two ways a person can sit through the above scene from American History X without either shutting their eyes or covering them with their hands: They're either blind or their eye-lids are propped open Clockwork Orange style. Otherwise, they're one desensitized son of a bitch.

Edward Norton is a force of nature in the film, playing a skinhead who's the worst kind of influence on his younger brother, Danny (Edward Furlong). Lucky little bros get to watch their older male siblings work hard, kick it to girls, etc. But not Danny. His role model forces a black kid to get on his stomach and bite down on the curb.

We'll let you witness the rest for yourself, but just know that it involves a human skull getting cracked in half like a cashew. Good luck chewing for the rest of the day.

14. Getting your skull caved in by a fire extinguisher

As Seen In: Irreversible (2002)

Told backwards, French filmmaker Gaspar Noe's Irreversible follows the before and after of a horrific rape; as the film begins, we're at the end of the fiasco, with the victim's boyfriend (Vincent Cassel) and friend, Marcus (Albert Dupontel), seeking out the rapist inside a gay nightclub called La Rectum (Noé's never been accused of subtlety). With the camera swirling around, and the dizzying score burrowing holes into the viewer's ear, the guys forcefully question everyone in sight before finding the person they think is La Tenia, the pimp responsible for the sexual assault.

They've got the wrong man. Still, Marcus grabs the nearest fire extinguisher and proceeds to turn the supposed Tenia's head into bloody oatmeal. Each strike of the extinguisher makes a loud, crunching sound; Noé's camera gets up close and personal with the mangled face. And the viewer is dared to keep watching.

13. Falling victim to head-exploding telekinesis

As Seen In: Scanners (1980)

The master of bodily harm and perverse mutations, Canadian auteur David Cronenberg has blessed gore fanatics with all kinds of nastiness, from the titular beast in The Fly to James Woods and his vagina chest in Videodrome. When pinning down the filmmaker's grossest handmade effects, however, there's really no contest—Scanners takes the prize.

Scanners, written by Cronenberg, presents a world in which people with strong telepathic abilities can kill, simply by using their minds. One "scanner" in particular, played by Michael Ironside, has gone rogue, and he decides to show his rebellious power by making a speaker's head explode during a press conference.

First, the poor guy begins nervously shaking, glancing over at a deep-in-thought Ironside; and then, boom! His head detonates as if someone hid a stick of dynamite in his brain. Try dealing with a migraine without panicking after watching Scanners.

12. Having a curling iron jammed into your private parts

As Seen In: Sleepaway Camp (1983)

It doesn't get much more abject than this vicious killing from 1983's inventive Sleepaway Camp. Seriously, it puts all of Jason Voorhees' and Michael Myers' simplistic knife and machete homicides to shame.

Just as the above headline reads, Angela (Felissa Rose) gets her revenge on the camp bully, Judy (Karen Fields), by invading her vagina with a piping hot curling iron, after slugging her in the face to knock her down into helpless submission. Republicans must love this movie.

11. Ripping your own face in half

As Seen In: Mirrors(2008)

This one's for vain people everywhere. In the world of Mirrors, stopping to check out your mug is deadly, as your evil reflection has an entirely different agenda: kill its physical counterpart.

In the otherwise disappointing 2008 horror flick Mirrors, Angela (Amy Smart) is checking herself out in a bathroom mirror, pre-bath, when her reflection grabs both rows of teeth by the hands and pulls in opposite directions, stretching her mouth region way beyond its natural limits. Lockjaw on a hundred thousand.

10. Being slowly tortured to death and skinned alive

As Seen In: Martyrs (2008)

Without spoiling the underlying theme in French filmmaker Pascal Laugier's divisive 2008 horror film Martyrs, let's explain what happens to the resilient Anna (Morjana Alaoui) on a surface level. She's captured by a malicious group of people, trapped in the basement of an otherwise normal-looking home, routinely beaten, starved, and subjected to a variety of systematic torture methods.

Eventually she's unable to do little more than breathe. Anna is then brought into a surgeon's workplace, completely skinned, and hoisted into a crucifixion-like position and left to naturally die. By which time death is indeed merciful.

9. Willingly letting hungry lions rip you apart

As Seen In: The Happening(2008)

Some millionaire with cash to burn should host a contest in which competitors have to watch M. Night Shyamalan's cinematic travesty The Happeningwithout reacting. Those who successfully make it through the 91 minutes of wooden acting (Mark Wahlberg's performance alone is a study in stillness) and horribly staged thrills without laughing or wincing would be awarded checks with multiple zeroes.

Chances are, though, that each player will show some emotion once the film's most effective sequence hits. The Happening's premise is that Mother Nature hates mankind and is emitting a toxin that causes people to commit suicide; in this particular case, a zookeeper voluntarily feeds himself to a bunch of lions (as the protagonists watch via a news broadcast), and it's truly horrific.

8. Having your insides sucked into a swimming pool's drain

As Seen In: The Final Destination (2009)

As a whole, 2009’s The Final Destination is a piece of shit. Not a completely unentertaining piece of shit, mind you, but a turd that’s far too ludicrous for its own good. At one point, a bathtub lands on a hospital patient, which somehow looks more real than the guy who’s sent rocketing into a fence with such force that he separates into terrible-looking CGI triangles.

Save for the aforementioned rock-to-the-eye bit, the film’s only worthwhile death happens to male bimbo Hunt (Nick Zano), and, fortunately, it’s a real doozy. At the town swimming pool, Hunt drops his “lucky” coin into the water; like a real dumbass, he dives in to find it, but instead gets sucked, ass first, directly onto the pool’s drain. The pressure escalates, Hunt clenches in agony, and the drain sucks up the poor dude’s insides like dust into a vacuum.

7. Having your face frozen and then smashed into bits

As Seen In: Jason X(2001)

Make no mistake about it, Jason X is easily the Friday the 13th franchise's worst sequel. It's painfully unfunny when it's trying to make viewers laugh, pointlessly disconnected from every other installment, and about as frightening as Good Luck Charlie.

However, it's not a complete wash. Jason X does feature one of Jason Voorhees' most memorable kills. Continuing his streak of handily murdering the cast's sexiest member, Jason finishes off Adrienne (Kristis Angus) with some special flair: He dunks her head into liquid nitrogen, freezing her face so that when he pounds it onto a nearby counter, Adrienne's head crumbles into little bloody ice pellets.

It is, without a doubt, Jason's coldest moment—hold the Theraflu.

6. Getting your head smashed by a basketball

As Seen In: Deadly Friend (1986)

Some bad movies are worth a look simply for the inadvertent laughs; Deadly Friend is so rotten that only forty seconds of Craven’s silly debacle work on that level.

In perhaps the greatest cinematic use of a basketball, the movie’s villain, dead girl turned homicidal robot Samantha (Kristy Swanson), passes the rock to Anne Ramsey, aka Mama Fratelli from The Goonies, causing her head to explode like a ripe pumpkin. Then, her body walks around the room like a drunken bar-rat trying to find an exit.

Delete the basketball-to-the-face scene from Deadly Friend and you’d be left with a horrifically acted, stupidly complicated, and altogether lifeless hybrid of horror and sci-fi.

5. Having your face melted off by the Ark of the Covenant

As Seen In: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

That poor bastard you see up above? That's Major Arnold Toht (Ronald Lacey), a Gestapo interrogator who's one of Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) many nemeses in Steven Spielberg's top-shelf action/adventure classic Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Along with fellow baddies Colonel Dietrich (Wolf Kahler) and Dr. Rene Belloq (Paul Freeman), Toht foolishly opens the mythical Ark of the Covenant, which unleashes "angels of death" and a supernatural firestorm that instantly melts their faces off. It's the fictional equivalent of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault and catching an L, except, well, these guys become human candles rather than disappointed talk show hosts.

4. Having your abdomen cut open with scissors

As Seen In: Inside (2007)

It's a moment so gruesome, so get-the-fuck-out-of-here, that there's not a single still image available online. Our guess: No one wanted to stomach the scene again to freeze-frame a snapshot. We can't blame them. Proving that writers/directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo are fearless and crazy bastards, the climax of theFrench knockout, Inside, is the culmination of 70 minutes' worth of "They're not going to go there" speculation. Except they do.

The film's premise is straightforward: An enigmatic and psychotic woman, dressed in all black, breaks into a grieving pregnant lady's home on Christmas Eve night to steal the unborn baby from her womb. And she's armed with scissors for the majority of the movie's running time. And she hacks her way through the homeowner's mother, boss, three police officers, and one arrestee. But then, she's just left with poor Sarah (Alysson Paradis). And she's not actually going to cut Sarah open, right?

Wrong. The intruder carves Sarah open like a pumpkin and pulls the fetus out of the now-dead Sarah. Maury and Bustillo don't miss a moment. Just one of the many reasons why Inside is arguably the best horror movie of the last 10 years.

3. Serving as a nest for hundreds of cockroaches

As Seen In: Creepshow (1982)

The spirit of old E.C. horror comics is alive and well in George A. Romero's homage, Creepshow. Written by Stephen King, the film is comprised of five tales that, in true E.C. fashion, show bad people doing bad things and paying dearly for them in ironic ways.

Creepshow's fifth and final segment, "They're Creeping Up on You," is its nastiest bit. E.G. Marshall plays Upson Pratt, a germaphobe whose fear of all bacteria has him living in a hermetically sealed tomb of a high-rise apartment, and he's totally OK with that. A complete douchebag, Pratt starts losing his shit when an endless stream of ruthless cockroaches infiltrate his pad.

Retreating into the apartment's panic room, Pratt sees that the roaches have already made their way in there too. Thus, he's fucked. Cut to the next morning as Pratt's corpse starts unleashing hundreds of roaches until his body is covered in a mound of disgusting insects.

2. Watching a baby alien burst out of your chest

As Seen In: Alien (1979)

You know a special effect is dynamite when the actors on set freak out worse than any audience member ever could. That's exactly what happened during the filming of Alien's most infamous sequence, in which actor John Hurt's stomach gives birth to a little "chestburster" alien.

Considered one of the greatest shocks in cinematic history, director Ridley Scott's deathblow was designed behind-the-scenes as a surprise to Hurt's in-scene co-stars, particularly Veronica Cartwright. To achieve the effect, Hurt was positioned underneath the table, with his head and arms sticking out, and the fake stomach was rigged with bloody makeup and red-spewing squibs; only, none of the other actors knew about the impending blood geysers—they just thought that a freaky puppet was about to jump out.

So once the chestburster popped up to say hello, the splashes of stage blood jolted the performers, the wet blast to Cartwright's face causing her to scream—a genuine reaction visible in the film.

1. Being the middle portion of a three-person human centipede

As Seen In: The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2010)

Was there really any other choice for the number one spot? Being forced into any position of a human centipede is bad business, but the middle? You're trapped between an anus and a hard place. And that anus, sooner or later, will have to defecate, and guess where that leaves you? Eating shit. Which you'll then deposit into the mouth of the third person in the chain. You'll have to do that stranger dirty, too.

Major kudos should be awarded to actress Ashley C. Williams, who bravely portrayed The Human Centipede (First Sequence) character stuck in the middle. She'll never win any prestigious awards for her admirable dedication, just the honor of putting the world onto the absolute worst way to die (as seen in writer-director Tom Six's controversial horror movie). Appreciate her.
