Remember that part of Nightmare on Elm’s Street when Johnny Depp gets sucked into a portal in his bed, then gushes out as a geyser of blood, drowning the ceiling with human pulp in some of the most amazing analog visual effects in horror? (They just rotated the set 180 degrees. Take that, CGI.) That was totally fucking ridiculous. Watch it again in this compilation of top 10 most ridiculous on-screen deaths according to Uproxx.
A lot of it involves people’s bodies being destroyed in quick and anatomically impossible ways, but then again, I’ve never seen a waffle-shaped security laser slicing a dude. Final Destination movies appear more than once, because really, that’s all they are — ridiculous deaths and amor fati-themed fluff.
