10 of the Most Outrageous Death Scenes in Horror
Alien: No one saw this coming. No one. Kane, as you’ll likely remember, was attacked by a facehugger in the earlier minutes of Ridley Scott’s Alien. That spidery bastard – for lack of a better term – impregnated Kane, leaving a vicious little monster growing inside the man. And it isn’t long before the nasty bugger is prepared to see freedom. When he does burst from the man’s chest in a spray of ruby red, it is absolutely shocking. For those that don’t know, Ridley Scott didn’t inform the cast exactly what was to happen during this specific scene so when that monster breached the flesh of Kane and everyone around looked mortified and near passing out, it was all real.
Saw III: 100 percent honesty here: I cannot watch the scene in which Tim finds himself strapped to a torture rack… that turns at horrid angles and snaps bones, compound destruction, flesh tearing away as the bone bursts outward like a drowning man breaching water, eager for his first breath. It’s a fucking disgusting scene. My stomach rolled many a time during my inaugural Saw III viewing. And you couldn’t pay me to watch that again.
