Most of those deaths were visually pretty gross but most of them at least died quickly. I mean Sam Jackson didn't know that shark was coming at him until he was already dead. Now Quint in Jaws, that was a painful shark killing. Off the top of my head I'd go with

Nazis getting their faces melted off in Raiders of the Lost Ark

Any death in Seven

The girl getting her skin ripped off and then eaten by Pinhead in Hellraiser 3

Although he didn't technically die (unless you want to get into a semantic argument with Obi Wan), Darth Vader having 3 limbs chopped off and left to lay in semi molten rock

Braveheart being disemboweled

Carrot Top bombing at his show at UF that I had to sit through

No snu-snu?

What no:
Yahoo Serious in Young Einstein?
Michael Myers in The Love Guru? OR
Stevie Ray Vaughn in Tallahasee Tubetopper?

THIS LIST IS BULLSHIATE!

What about the death by transporter in Star Trek The Motion Picture?

I tried to find a clip, but I remember a movie called "The Legacy". A woman dives into a swimming pool, but when she tries to come up for air, the surface has become solid, like glass. She bangs and bangs on it, but can't ever come up for air and she drowns.

Absolutely horrified me as a kid.

The RoboCop franchise singlehandedly cornered the market on awesome movie deaths

Kinny gets ownd

Dr. Romano gets ownd

Alex Murphy gets ownd

Robocop II gets ownd. Twice.

Drug factory workers get ownd

No guillotine glass from "The Omen"?

Most of those are instantaneous, some even without awareness, which makes them far preferable to much slower deaths:

Crucifixion,

Being fed feet first through a deli slicer,

The saw (see below),

Dying of old age spending every day knowing you slept with Wanda Metcalf in 10th grade, or

Having people laugh at your howls of agony while you slowly roast (new window).

Happy Halloween everyone.

Tr0mBoNe: What about the death by transporter in Star Trek The Motion Picture?

Good one!

"What we got back didn't live long. Fortunately."

/and that movie was G rated

What? Nothing from any of the Saw movies? Most of those are pretty damn horrific.

What about death by cellphone?

Gore-obsessed video intern Brad Clark scoured countless horror movies to find the most creatively campy, disgustingly delirious, and just plain shiatty ways to die and condensed it to under a minute.

Except it was a minute and eight seconds.

Just in time for Halloween: Obamacare Death Panel

I haven't seen that movie in years, but I remember than scene.

Tanji: During a history class in college our teacher went over medieval torture methods for Halloween. Vlad the Impaler wins hands down for thinking up the worst and most horrific way to die in history.

Elizabeth Bathory had some unique ideas on skin care. I always thought here methods were macabre and bizarre. But yes, Vlad was one strange man.
