Most creative kills in a slasher/horror flick

[rajee]

OK I taped Sleepaway Camp 2 and 3 last night and they might not be the horror movie with the greatest plot, Was there ever a "slasher"/horror flick with a great plot and great acting?, 😛 anyway I thought they were entertaining. Bruce Springsteen's sister, Pamela Sue Springsteen, was the psycho slasher in the series.

My question is what was the horror flick that had the most creative/innovative ways to kill off its 2ndary stars?
My votes go to Nightmare on Elm Street, which was Johnny Depp's intro to the buisness, and Sleepaway Camp. 😀

Cube.
In the beginning a man enters a room. He takes two steps. Suddenly you hear a swish noise. Seconds later you see cris-cross patterns of blood appear on his shirt. A second later the man crumbles into pieces. It was just like in the cartoons when someone runs through a wire fence and crumbles into cubed pieces.

The writers for that movie deserve a HUGE pat on the back for being so ingenious and morbid and clever. Unfreakingbelieavable.

....the hugely obsese man being bound and forcefed until his stomach simply blew up (glutton)

....the rich callous selfish prick being forced to cut himself open and remove exactly one pound of flesh (greed)

....the criminal, lazy, drug addict being bound to a bed and fed virtually nothing but drugs for an entire year (sloth)

....the model having her face sliced up and having to choose between being physically deformed or death, and opting to take her own life (pride)

....the prostitute being raped by a man wearing a large knife attached to a strap on (lust)

....the murderer killing the lead characters pregnant wife and cutting off her head (envy)

....and then having her severed head delivered to the lead character (a cop), causing him to commit the final sin and kill the murderer in cold blood (anger)

That movie simply can not be topped in terms of creativity, IMO. One of the most mentally disturbing yet thrilling movies I have ever seen. Also my 2nd favorite movie, ever.

SAW

1. The guy covered in highly flammable gel and had to find the combo to the safe.
2. The gal with the reverse bear trap strapped to her head, and she cutting the guy to get the key.
3. The guy in the room filled with razor barbwire. Had to get out in a matter of minutes.

Freddy's Dead: Final Nightmare

The guy with the hearing problem. He has super hearing due to the hearing aid. Freddy drages his claws across a chalk board. He does it faster and faster til the guys head explodes.

Oh yeah the Cube movies(both "Cube" and "Cube 2: Hypercube") had some interesting kills..you could never really tell what the next kill was going to be like in those two movies.

I dont know if this counts as a "horror flick", but it could definitely be called supernatural. In "Ghost", Tony Goldwyn's character was killed by having a sharp edge from a piece of broken glass that was shattered pierce right through his stomach. To me, it was a very unlikely way for a character to be killed off. Another object hit the window, which broke the glass, and then suddenly, the window with the broken glass came crashing down,almost like the old gilitines used to chop off people's heads in the olden days. The broken glass and sharp edge pierced through the stomach of Tony Goldwyn's character, and killed him. I have seen quite a few horror movies, and have seen murders in many ways, but not in that way.
Anyone else who has seen Ghost, what did you think? Wasnt Tony Goldwyn's death and the way it came about unsual? I think so.

I thought Hannibal had some very creative scenes, such as: A man being fed pills and brainwashed into slicing his own face off; with Hannibal feeding parts of it to his Dog. The same man being fed to starved Hogs later in the film. The cop whose chasing Hannibal has his stomach sliced open and then is hanged letting all his guts fall out onto the pavement. A man is drugged and has part of his brain surgically removed (and cooked) while he's still alive.

I've seen more extreme shots in other films, but they're rarley believable to me. What makes Hannibal so disturbing is that Ridley Scvott actually makes you believe a man is capable of these things.

😀 All excellent replies. 😀

Just humor....

😀 Good ones Ashley. 😀

I think Final Destination had a few creative ones. One that stands out for me is when the crew missed being hit by a train when they were in a car. With the train rattling past, something like a chain below the train whips up a shard of metal from the smashed car into the air, and sliced off the top half of Sean William Scott's character's head off around the mouth, rolling onto the ground. Haggard. It's something I've not seen before, and the movie's definitely an intruiging one at that.

 

[rajee]

😀 Good one GC! 😀

Ovda, glad you brought up the "Cube" flicks. I was going to mention the razor-wire scene, that was a piece of freakin' art.

There was the girl who was torn apart by being tied to two semi-trucks headed in different directions in the Rutger Hauer classic "The Hitcher".

I was really blown away by the creativity of the deaths in the "WishMaster" movies, most prominantly the first one before they started getting stupid. But there was that good one in Part 2 when the inmate wishes his lawyer would "go fuck himself"...🙄

 

[rajee]

😀 Another great addition Dave.
I really gotta see The Hitcher. 😀

You should check out the sequel. It's not up to much as a horror movie but the kills are so inventive. I was actually applauding and laughing at the ingenuity of the deaths. I won't spoil any of them if you haven't seen the movie but they seem to be built around a series of small things ie something gets knocked off a shelf which bumps something else which accidentally turns on an appliance and so on... 😎

I would agree with Se7en it had a great plot ending death but my two favorites are both from the Friday the 13th series. One was Part 4 when a kid is trying to get out of the lake by climbingonto the dock and he gets a speargun into his nuts lifted up by it and then Jason fires. The second was when Jason picks up a sleeping bag with his vitim hiding in it and he beats it against a tree. I found that particularly funny.

 

[rajee]

Suikoden: Your right. All 3 movies had very creative deaths.
Coffee: I agree there were some comical moments in the Friday the 13th movies. 😀

In the movie, Warlock: The Armageddon, Julian Sands hams it up as the Son of Satan(with all the powers that could be expected of a hellspawn). He's after some runestones and goes around collecting them from these various parties, usually making sure there's no survivors. One guy is an art-collector, and the Warlock turns him into a living piece of cubist art, there's also a fashionista and a carnival operator who meet similarly apt fates.

One of the most powerful scenes in the movie has the Warlock hail a cab for a cross-country ride. When the cab pulls into a gas-station in some dusty plains State, the grease-monkey comes out to fill `er up, and sees the now days-old corpse of the cabbie still in the front seat.

 

[rajee]

😀 That sounds like a cool flick. 😀

The Dr. Phibes flicks with Vincent Price were always great for inspired, creative killings. Around the same time, Price starred in one called Theatre of Blood where he plays a vengeful Shakespearean actor who murders theatre critics using famous death scenes from Macbeth, Richard III, etc. as models. One critic is driven to murder his wife, as in Othello, and the great Robert Morley does a hilarious turn as a gay critic who is fed his twins(ala Titus Andronicus), in this case, his twin poodles. Awesome flick!

 

[rajee]

😀 Cool. 😀

Another genius for creative, unusual scenes is Jose Mojica Marins(aka Coffin Joe). This Brazilian horror director has been at it for over 40 years, creating macabre horror stories on a shoestring budget, and getting the most from his actors and actresses. He's an acquired taste, but if you dig bad-films~worth a look-see...

Yooooo Rajee...

There's a slasher flick from the 80s called "Happy Birthday To Me." As you can probably guess, it was really digusting. I won't get into the details, but I'm thinking that the movie was adverstised as having pretty creative murder scenes and it didn't disappoint in that regard. You might want to check it out, if and only if, you like that kind of stuff.
