For anyone following along, we've now reached some nastiness. I've featured many of Tom Savini's special effects on this list, but this one has extra Savini and I think you're gonna like it. Coming in as #8 on the list is William Lustig's cult horror classic, Maniac (1980). Now we're getting our hands dirty. In … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #8 – MANIAC (1980)
Remember when I promised you more intense kills in the top 10, but I reneged on that promise almost immediately? Well, now we've arrived. #9 on the list comes to us from the twisted mind of author Stephen King, director Andy Muschietti and a demented, dancing clown in the most recent adaptation of IT. Baggage … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #9 – IT (2017)
We made it to the Top 10! It's been a fun little journey so far, and I'm excited to get down to my favorite kills the genre has to offer. In the last post I promised the intensity was going to ramp up, but I've come before you today to say this: I may disappoint … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #10 – DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978)
Can you feel it? I can feel it. We're almost to the top 10! From here on out this is serious business. Many of the scenes I've covered so far have been fun or cool set-pieces, or have been contextually interesting, but the remainder are going to be more intense, and today's scene is exactly … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #11 – SUSPIRIA (1977)
It's Thursday which means it's time for my next kill, and this time I'm bringing you all out into the daylight. #12 on my list comes from the folk horror tale - The Wicker Man (1973). On a list that is all about discussing character deaths you'd think I wouldn't have to put disclaimers, but … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #12 – THE WICKER MAN (1973)
Two-part post alert - go big or go home! Ok, yeah, technically I'm breaking a minimum of two of my rules, but by the end of this post you'll understand why. And if that doesn't entice you to keep reading then nothing will. So without further adieu, on this, the 13th day of April, I … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #13 – FRIDAY THE 13TH (franchise)
Warning: NSFW!!! When compiling a list of horror movie kills it should go without saying that the material is intended for mature audiences and should not be viewed at the office or in the company of minors, unless you're one of those cool parents/older siblings. The clip contains graphic nudity and some pretty hilariously fake … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #14 – HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II (1987)
Another Monday is here and that means I'm presenting the next entry on my kill list! A word of warning before I get started: if you haven't seen this flick, stop reading and go watch it. This request serves two purposes. Ostensibly, it's because this post is one gigantic SPOILER for the entire movie, but … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #15 – FRAILTY (2001)
Hey all! I'm back with my next installment on the list: the holiday slasher classic Black Christmas (1974). First off, I want to say that this is not only a horror classic, it's also a damn great film. Every time I watch it my appreciation for it grows. It pioneered the use of killer POV … Continue reading The Best Horror Movie Kills of All-Time: #16 – BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974)
