Worst TV/Movie deaths

[Soubriquet]

Watching the final destination franchise again and I’m on number 3 where the girls die in the tanning beds.

There are a lot of gory deaths but I always think this is the worst.

I cannot bear to be in a car behind a lorry carrying logs .

And one famous time, me and dh stupidly watched it before going to a theme park the next day. We were shitting bricks before the ride ended and didn’t go on anything else which was fine as we had taken our two young children anyway.

Oh that's so weird I was just about to say that one. (The tanning bed scene.
Also Spooks where someone got their head put in a deep fat fryer.
I'm a bit of a ghoul so im sure ill think of more.

I can’t think of any but just had to say I’m the same about driving behind a lorry carrying logs or anything like that because of that film!

I think final destination traumatised a lot of people

Cl. Henry Blake in MASH. Not the worst, but a realistically cruel one.

I love the final destination films

worse death is Me before You - heartbreaking. She’s tired so hard to show him positive things then WHAM too bad, didn’t see that one coming

And Matthew in AOGG cry buckets every time - Matthew was just too sweet to die

Rose in Dr Who when she gets sucked into the Void and they are both listening through the wall and she’s all tears and snot and he’s just broken - not broken enough to go back in time and save her though

Cucumber, my gob was smacked, I can't recall ever shouting at the TV before. Strange as I only watched it recently and had somehow managed to avoid reading anything about it.

The tanning scene was awful I agree.

At the start of the film Ghost Ship a load of passenger get chopped in half by a malfunctioning string of fairy lights. It's quite gruesome.

The first 60 seconds of ghost ship is MESMERISING! Don’t bother watching the rest! 😂

@Awwlookatmybabyspider - I came on here to say the deep fat fryer scene. I’ve watched loads of horror films but that scene in spooks is the only one that has stayed with me.

The melty faces of the Nazis at end of Raiders of the Lost Ark

12 days of Christine, inside no9. I cried my eyes out at the end of that, I know it's rated, but it was very impactful.

I asked my friend and he said somebody from ff7 (a game) he loved, he is 36 years old lol

The Spooks fryer one has always stayed with me as well. It’s horrific!

Not a gory death, but one I found very upsetting was in the recent Sandman series. The scene where Death takes the baby and you can hear the mum slowly realising something is wrong in the background as Dream and Death walk away from the house is utterly heartbreaking.

Hard agree, re Cucumber.

I remember it so clearly, actually shouted at my tv when it happened.

Just remembered another gory one

I know the entire film is gory anyway, but that scene in Hostel where his Achilles heels are cut.

The scream made my spine shudder

That tanning scene is awful!

Sybil's death in Downton Abbey (don't laugh) is really quite brutal.

The entire Red Wedding on Game of Thrones.

Especially Robs pregnant wife.

My eyeballs practically fell out of my head, I just wasn't expecting it to happen!!!

Gage in Pet Semetary, both the book and film got me. Especially when I re-read it with a toddler.

What about the end of The Fly where the guy is stuck in the web shouting 'Help me, help me?' as the spider inches it's way towards him. Then his friend picks up a rock and squashes them both. I found that quite upsetting as a child. In fact it's the only part of the film I remember.

The guy who jumps off the back of Titanic and hits his legs on the propeller, sending him spinning into the water. My shins turn to jelly at the sound 😂

There's nothing in the Jeff Goldblum version, as gory and brilliant as it is, that's half as disturbing as this scene.

And let's not mention the Saw franchise.

Horrendous 😮

Gage in Pet Semetary, both the book and film got me. Especially when I re-read it with a toddler.

I was going to say the hedgehogs in Animals of Farthing Wood but Gage's death is awful. I think the deaths which are more likely to happen in real life hit the worst.

I found cucumber hard to get into, the main character is not a very sympathetic one. However once I actually watched it all I loved it, think its the best thing he has done. The last line made me laugh out loud.

Agree!

At the beginning of the book King talks about how he came up with the idea and it was when he was chasing his toddler son across a field towards a busy road, he managed to catch his dungarees but the idea of "what if" was born 😦
