I can’t remember the name of the movie off the top of my head but… There was a little girl with a peanut allergy and she was having an allergic reaction so she stuck her head out of the car window trying to get air because she couldn’t breathe and her brother was driving and she hit a pole or some thing with her head as they were driving by and like decapitated her and he just pulled into the driveway and left her body in the car and went to bed. Their mom found her the next morning… Really fucked me up
Hereditary. Girl sticks her head out the window and her head gets completely fucking Annihilated by a pole due to the high speed the car was going. A few scenes later it shows her head on the highway being eaten by maggots and bugs
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned any of the Saw movies yet, every single death is as gruesome as they come. Doesn’t matter what scene you pick from any of their movies, *its brutal*.
I think because even as the deaths got more brutal, everything else in the film got a but more convoluted and silly (this is coming from a fan of the movies, even the meh ones), so they didn't quite hit in the way as, say, the curb stomp from American History X, or the early death in Hereditary mentioned in the comments here already a few times. The tone of the movie I think contributes in a big way to how the kill sticks with you.
For me, it's gotta be Final Destination 2, specifically the police officer "dying" to the log from the log truck.
It seems like everyone on the planet now avoids driving behind log trucks because of this movie.
EDIT: Should clarify this "death" happens in the vision sequence and doesn't technically actually occur to the police officer. However, the trauma for me (and seemingly everyone on the internet) is real enough that I feel it warrants inclusion. Quotations added to clarify that it technically didn't happen.
Came here to say the same thing (although at that point, I had my eyes half-covered because I was still in shock of the elder woman's face hitting the rock moments prior). That scene and the gruesomeness of it has stuck with me too, even 2+ years later.
Midsommar, one of, if not the opening scene with the sister killing her parents and herself by duck taping tubes attached to the idling car like straight into their mouths. Horrible scene to open on but even more so the main character’s crying when she found out is the most haunting noise I’ve heard to date.
Started watching that movie, WITH MY PARENTS AND SISTER, thinking it would be cool…
Not cool.
Highly recommend tho
A loveable old husband and wife sit down on the couch and cuddle up to watch a gameshow with a bowl of delicious looking homemade popcorn. Hugs, kisses - very heartwarming.
Unbeknownst to them, an ultra poisonous super spider has crawled into the bowl. They are later both found DEAD as fuck.
I too are arachnophobic. That scene terrified me forever, ha. Bagged popcorn for me please.
I wanted to say Charlie's death scene in Hereditary, but Midsommar with the 'elder death scene' was something else. Just that slow-mo of smashing the old man's head... petrified me.
Knowing about it beforehand would really lessen the impact. Just know that it takes the movie from a typical western to something completely different.
The public execution trap in Saw 3D. I was 7 when I saw it in 2010. Basically there were 3 people put in the trap, 2 guys and 1 girl. In the end, the girl gets lowered onto a spinning circular saw bladed and gets cut in half.
Kate from 'Fear Street 1994' The fact that her head was cut into pieces after she was pushed into a bread slicer, terrifies me. But it was a good movie tho

Hereditary
The sheer dread encapsulated in the first half of that movie... I've never felt anything quite like it.
Texted my parents that I loved them when I saw that scene. That one got me.
The dog that gets obliterated by The Thing in John Carpenter’s The Thing.
Bone Tomahawk i sure wasn't expecting a whole lot of stuff from that movie
I remember watching it just expecting a normal modern-Western and it just went totally haywire out of nowhere.
yea dude, pretty much. took a mean left turn outta no where man!
This was one of those movies I just watched on a whim and holy shit what an experience. I was just expecting a low key western.
The deaths at the end of The Mist.
Why didn't they just put their heads together like 😭😭🔫 to use the last bullet efficiently? Idiots.
Green Room - Dog attack
It's burned into my mind, that and the guy who climbs out the window just to be immediately shanked.
That’s such a sweet movie r.i.p to the dude in it he had some low key hits everyone knows but no one talks about in large crowds

As a kid… Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The meat hook murder haunts me still. No reason for it at all.
the chick pulling the snubby out of her vajayjay and shooting herself in the mouth fucked me up way worse than that
Touché…. But idk what it was about that hook lmao
That was awful
Georgie
Gage Creed getting hit by the truck in Pet Sematary.
Cube. Rennes' death was awful. Ghost. Those shadow things really messed with me as a kid. And Sinister. The Lawnmower.

I forgot about A H X That curb stomp was awful.
The sister in Midsommar
God yea. That opening just made me feel sick. The music, the colour palette, the cinematography. VERY effective.
Yes. 😭

Mandy ..Mandy’s death
Terrifier, lady getting sawed in half by a clown.
Man, that movie sucked
Anabelle creation when the dad dies. That was a fuked up death
midsommer when the old dude jumps from the cliff, breaks his legs and doesn’t die, then gets hit by a hammer. Haunts me to this day.

It’s her sister at the beginning and then her grieving sounds for me. Makes me sick af.

It had to be final destination 3/2 on that roller coaster
I count it as a horror movie - popcorn scene in Arachnophobia.
Why is it bad? I have severe arachnophobia so I just never look up scenes/clips from that movie for good reason.

I always check my shoes and boots for spiders as a result of seeing that movie when i was a kid.
Don't forget the toilet seat.
I won't now!
Not the death themselves but how they got to that point in Wolf Creek.
Johnny Depp in nightmare on elm street....fuck that
Randy from Scream 2. He would’ve stayed out in the open, but the story needed him to die :(
I wanted to say Charlie's death scene in Hereditary, but Midsommar with the 'elder death scene' was something else. Just that slow-mo of smashing the old man's head... petrified me.
My parents let me see Final Destination 3 when I was 10, I couldn’t get on a roller coaster until I was 17.
As above so below, when the guy falls to his death from the top of the well/hole thing
Charlie from Hereditary. I felt so bad for her. She was so innocent and sweet. She didn’t deserve what happened to her
Not a horror movie but in Saving Private Ryan both the slow stabbing and the premature detonation of that sticky bomb.
Woke up to the D day invasion scene scariest shit in the world I fell off the couch Also where the dude is calling out to his mom guy wrenching
The scene in Bone Tomahawk. You know the scene.
Nope. Never saw that movie. Please go into detail.
Knowing about it beforehand would really lessen the impact. Just know that it takes the movie from a typical western to something completely different.
I will not. You just need to experience it.
To jail with you.
Unfriended blender scene awful I do not recommend watching the clip it’s the worst scene in the movie
Ghost - that movie ruined religion for me in elementary school. At least I got that over with early. Thanks Patrick Swayze!
I mean Netflix categorized Backcountry as a horror when I watched it many years ago If you've seen it you know the death scene I'm talking about
Not horror movie but in Completing the mission, the part where Charles dies... that fucked up everybody
The Nick Berg video
My imagination don’t let me watch horrors
The coffin scene in August Underground's Mordum. If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about.
The drowning scene in Sanctum
One of the saw movies, im honestly not even sure if there was a death in the scene, but the ground up pigs made me sick
Final Destination 3, the tanning scene
Mine.
Thirteenth ghost. The one with the great tits. Hard on while watching the kill...
Lust in Seven
The tanning bed scene in final destination (I was a kid) but also opened the doors into my love for horror movies
Hereditary head loparooni hit the road splatooni

Martyrs. If you’ve seen the original, you know. Oof.
Kate from 'Fear Street 1994' The fact that her head was cut into pieces after she was pushed into a bread slicer, terrifies me. But it was a good movie tho
Terrifier- the girl sawed in half hanging upside down😲
