What is the most unusual...?

Question

With countless horror films out there, bearing even more countless ways to die, what has been some of the most unusual implements of death, which have appeared in the history of horror films???

Answer 1

...by basketball, in "Deadly Friend"
...by paperclip, in "Student Bodies"
...by electric toothbrush, in "Boogeyman 2"
...by deer antlers, in "Silent Night, Deadly Night"
...by milk shake machine, in "The Toxic Avenger"
...by shish-kabob, in "Happy Birthday to Me"
...by unicorn horn, in "Dr. Phibes Rises Again"
...by liquid nitrogen, in "Jason X"
...by criss/cross lasers, in "Resident Evil"
...by trick sliding glass door, in "13 Ghosts"
...by ol' teeterin' rock, in "Two Thousand Maniacs"
...by self-compressing/shrinking/contricting suit, in "Arnold"
...by exploding 'super crack', in "Frankenhooker"
...by having one's head covered in batter, having the head deep-fried in oil, and having the deep-fried battered head knocked off the body with a baseball bat, in "Blood Diner"
...by hand grenade, jammed steadfast in the mouth, with the pin pulled, in "Wanted: Dead or Alive" (...all right, it's NOT a horror movie, but still unusual and effective nonetheless; besides, wouldn't it be horrific if YOU were in that precarious situation???)

...finally, just about all the traps in the "Saw" movies, or the "Cube" movies, but those would be way too obvious!!!

Answer 2

The Lost Boys~deer antlers, bathtubful of blessed water
Prophecy (1979)~mutant bear slams boy in sleeping bag against tree
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch~constricting masks
The Omen (original)~metal pole skewers priest after having been struck by lightning
Final Conflict: Omen II~elevator cables sheer through car, cutting Meshach Taylor in half at the waist~Yuck!
Sometimes They Come Back...Again~I think one person gets killed when playing cards are thrown by the back-again baddie.
Theater of Blood~Robert Morley's character is fed to death with a pastry pouch (the only name I heard it called when I worked at a restaurant though surely there is a specific name).
Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth~I think this is the one in which Pinhead(?) kills someone with CDs, rather like the playing cards are used. I'm not sure if one copied the other.
Ghost in the Machine~Is this the first death by open microwave?
Gremlins~mother microwaves a gremlin
Trilogy of Terror 2~I think that the fetish doll is microwaved in this one, so perhaps that's not such an unusual way of death.
Final Destination 2~sliding ladder on fire escape

Answer 3

I may sound cliche saying this but I still love in one of Friday the 13ths when Jason scoops up the girl in the sleeping bag and slams her into a tree. One of my personal favorites. Also not a horror film and not shown in the film but in clerks, Randall talks about how his cousin died by breaking his neck trying to suck his own di*k. Thats an unusual death.

Answer 4

Cannibalism, some sort of paranormal phenomenon that the person dies from shock. A demon/ghost entering the body, thus the person becoming possessed, and then ends up dying in some unconventional way

Answer 5

Theater of Blood has some very fun ones, especially with the hot spears of death that would burn out a critic's eyes

Answer 6

death by killer birds in alfred hitchcocks "Birds"
i also thought Norman Bates was an odd serial killer, with always speaking to his dead mother and insisting she was the one telling him to kill.--"Psycho"
