Movie deaths that scared you?

[ThisAdamGuy]

I'm pretty sure all of us have been traumatized by a movie at least once in our lives. Which death scene(s) scared the crap out of you?

For me, I've always had a thing about people being turned into inanimate objects. Winterbolt being turned into a tree in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July kept me up for a few nights as a kid. So did Rourke bring crystalized in Atlantis: the Lost Empire. More recently, the live action Cowboy Bebop remake has someone turn into a tree as well, and it might just be the scariest thing ever put to film. I can't find a video clip of it, so you'll have to make due with this picture:

I also hate the toxic waste scene from Robocop, and who could forget good ol' meltyface?

Your turn. Tell me what deaths terrified you as a kid.

The dude that accidentally used the mummy as a toilet paper.

Context, dude washed his face on the sink, went and grab paper, grabbed onto mummy.

Mummy wrapped around him, flung him into a stall, then down the toilet bowl.

I had the fear of toilet mummies till I was twelve.

Melty guy in Robocop was fine til he started making the gurgling noises. Followed by the splattering. I remember pretty much nothing else from that movie beyond that scene.


"Innocent Blood" was my first experience watching a vampire movie with gnarly death scenes. Let alone the vampire blowing a guy's head off with a gun, there is a scene where a newly turned vampire accidentally burns to death from the sun. It was pretty much where all the budget of the movie went, and it horrified the hell out of me. I can still vividly picture the rivets that appear on the vampire's face as he burns. Of course, the whole movie was definitely not intended for ten-year-olds to watch.

"Deep Rising" has a woman get sucked down the toilet when she tries to hide from the tentacle monster that is devouring everyone else. I never finished the rest of the movie after that. Even though I was a teen when I saw it, it reinforced my desire to never go on a cruise ship or to use the bathroom in public places.

The remake of "Dawn of the Dead". I am a pansy and can't handle zombie movies. The little girl at the first that launches herself onto the boyfriend/fiance/whatever and tears a chunk out of his neck was where I wanted to nope out of watching the rest of the movie. I tried to power through the rest of it because my drive didn't want to leave, and I did manage to block out most of the movie, but then came the zombie baby. I'll just leave it at that.

Not really deaths, but "Ernest Scared Stupid" has several scenes of little kids being turned into wooden dolls. I was seven when I watched it, and I thought the kids were dead. Add that to the makeup design of the Troll, and it's been haunting my nightmares since.

When I watched Raiders of the lost ark as a child, my father told me that if you stared at opening of the Ark of Covenant in the movie, you would die just like the Nazi’s in the movie.

I know he told me it so I’d cover my eyes during the scary part, but I think it ended up being worse, because I thought if you watched the first Indiana Jones movie without covering your eyes for that part you’d actually die

That reminds me of when The Ring first came out and all my friends were talking about how it was about a movie that would kill you if you watched it. My spazzy adhd-riddled ten year old brain interpreted that as "If you watch The Ring you'll die," and I spent a very confused couple of weeks wondering how it wasn't against the law to show something like that in theaters and why everyone I knew wanted to go see it.

Chestburster scene from Alien.

I wouldn't say scared per say but Gordon's death in 2012. Seeing someone getting crushed alive by gear is quite something. And Georgie (?) in IT.

Your turn. Tell me what deaths terrified you as a kid.

Hmm this thread is glowing...


Anyway the dead silence movie scene where the son discovers his dead father has a huge chunk of his back and back head dug out with a stick placed inside the cavity, it was shown that the lady was using it to puppet his father like a ventriloquist doll, pretty gruesome.

Next we've got pet cemetery that whole movie gave me goosebumps, then final destination, the nail gun scene grossed me out.

Hocus pocus, Binxs death.

And last but not least legends of the eight samurai(this took a while to find the title) at the end of the story two of the co lead characters try to lift a boulder that had the rest of their allies blocked off, the two are forced to hold the boulder for their allies to get through but are ambushed, the two before they are attacked die by turning themselves into stone while lifting the boulder up, sacrificing themselves. This one was scary because I watched this as a kid.
