now where were we in the horror genre
death is a constant but it doesn’t
always satisfy our thirst for gore
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
lame horror movie deaths for this list
we’re focusing on depths and horror
movies that are painfully lame with few
if any redeeming qualities the following
scenes are barely even scary they’re
just mostly known as dreadful
across-the-board even so a spoiler alert
is probably worth mentioning number 10
ceiling drop Paranormal Activity for
given the modest 5 million dollar budget
of this fourth installment of the
Paranormal Activity franchise nobody
really expected high production value
even so it’s usually the scare tactics
that allow some horror films to rise
above the rest but when the Nelson
family senses an evil presence in
Paranormal Activity 4 and people begin
acting a little crazy mother Holle
receives quite a surprise but doesn’t
receive the most inventive of deaths the
initial fly through the air has little
shock value and the subsequent drop to
the floor just doesn’t cut it the icing
on the cake is the use of a wide-angle
shot it leaves the viewer more irritated
than fully invested in the scene
higher-ed number 9 garbage day Silent
Night deadly night part 2 carpet day
building on the momentum of the 1984
film Silent Night deadly night director
Lee Haeri took the reins
for the inadvertently hilarious sequel
featuring these psychologically damaged
Ricky Caldwell the brother of the
original film’s antagonist the narrative
presents the deranged killer committing
random acts of violence the lamest
moment of the film comes during a
suburban rampage as Ricky utters a
now-infamous line that overrides the
horror itself carpet day perhaps the
scene could have been a little more
authentic with the inclusion of actual
movie blood instead it seems to be more
about comedic style than Jarah substance
number 8 Charles in Charge saw 5 oh yes
don’t close the door
it’ll set off the timer in the fifth
installment of the iconic saw franchise
we meet a group of victims one of whom
is an investigative journalist named
Charles who is presumably a smart guy
but due to an ethical failure involving
arson jigsaw steps in to subject him to
a nasty game of life and death let’s do
this you think we pull the bones no off
in an attempt to secure a bomb shelter
key Charles loses his composure only to
be taken down by Luba who was also part
of an arson conspiracy Charles bravado
stands out in this particular scene and
leads viewers to anticipate an epic
horror death yet the deadly explosion
were shown seems like a waste of time at
least given the usual saw gore
for disappointed viewers it’s a
completely forgettable moment that fails
to capitalize on the selling point of
the entire franchise yep bitches
survival of the fittest
number seven fall from grace final
destination 5 don’t worry Molly I didn’t
kill him after surviving the collapse of
the North Bay Bridge life becomes
problematic for Sam Lawton and his
girlfriend Molly Harper however it’s
their fellow survivor Peter that
ultimately tries to claim Molly’s
lifespan but when an FBI agent named Jim
block starts poking around
well the narrative of final destination
5 takes yet another deadly turn are you
okay
what’s going on it’s Peter hands again
unfortunately Peters surprise execution
of the agent is just downright offensive
and the evidence is in Jim blocks
ridiculous fall not only is there no
blood but all the guy really does is
just fall over and die that’s it it’s
Sam’s turn number six wizard master fail
a Nightmare on Elm Street three dream
warriors in my dreams I can walk my
light is strong my dreams I am the
wizard master in the third chapter of
the iconic Freddy Krueger franchise we
see that will Stanton has a unique set
of skills but only in his dreams in real
life the role-playing game enthusiast
doesn’t sleep much
and he’s also confined to a wheelchair
even so he manages to hunt Freddy down
in the dream world but he’s not quite on
top of his wizardry game received
Thanks fine just the way I am
unimpressed with the bravado of young
will Freddie swiftly disposes of the
self-proclaimed wizard master
however the kill itself is a massive
horror fail given the lack of gore and
is complemented by a lame scream most
devoted fans of the franchise can
probably agree that will deserve better
than such a weak death scene sure kid I
don’t believe it
fairy cake number 5 Michael loses his
head
Dino croc one might be surprised to
learn that horror icon Roger Corman
actually produced a flick named Dino
croc
despite his presence the film
contributes to the Canon of lame horror
deaths early on the moment arrives when
little Michael searches for his
three-legged puppy named Lucky
unfortunately Dino croc emerges and he
means business
Michael almost gets away but like so
many ill-fated horror victims he places
himself in the perfect place to be
annihilated by the titular monster it’s
a setup for a spectacular death if the
subsequent beheading leans more toward
comedy than tragedy given the weak
visual effects and the odd facial
expression of the victim you don’t need
to be a film scholar to identify the
inherent lameness of the scene Tom
number four Belial means business basket
case three the progeny what the hell is
that
but it’s heavy if you’re not familiar
with the central narrative of this
franchise it’s about a deranged and
deformed twin by the name of Belial say
uvula we’re coming in basket case three
the progeny he breaks into a police
station and delivers one of the more
graphic horror moments with his attack
on Brennan and then there’s Baxter who
inexplicably falls into Belial grasp
only to receive a nasty face bite he’s
alive he’s here and what happens when
someone or something violently pulls
away at human skin well here the victims
entire head plops off which not only
provides for a lame visual but seems
rather nonsensical as well in fact one
could argue that director Frank Hannon
Lauder likely didn’t have an Anatomy
consultant on set number three deaths by
compact disc Hellraiser 3 hell on earth
shall we begin
there’s nothing quite like an ironic
death in horror movies and there are
many ways to capitalize on the inherent
drama of a gruesome kill but in
Hellraiser 3 director Anthony Hickox
takes a unique approach with the DJ
played by real-life club guru Brent
Bolthouse
one spin head splits into two different
beings the menacing one wreaks havoc on
a club called the boiler room
while this particular depth scene feels
dated through no fault of its own it’s
the manner in which the dated objects
are used that makes it horribly lame for
such a well-known horror franchise
there’s no excuse for the awful imagery
of the death by compact discs and the
dark lighting makes it even worse number
two death by penetrating corncob
sleepwalkers Travis Sheriff’s Department
where’s IRA in horror movies fans
typically appreciate a well-executed and
creative kill but death by corncob to
the back doesn’t sound too appealing
even on paper there’s a woman here she
said she’s a Brady kids mother and I
think she killed Don Robertson casting
logic aside director Mick Garris
utilizes the corncob kill anyway in his
narrative about vampires and virgins
Mary Brady plays a prominent role in the
film as the incestuous vampire mother of
Charles and when their feeding is
compromised she uses any means necessary
to protect her own this blood everywhere
unfortunately for viewers the idea of
corn cob penetration from the back makes
little sense and the officers gargling
reaction only makes it more troubling of
course there’s also the inevitable
vegetable joke surprisingly written by
the one and only Stephen King no
vegetables no dessert those are the
bolts before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
your better shot
[Music]
now no one slings
number one veggie matter oh my god
troll two they’re eating her I’m not
going to eat me there’s plenty of room
for improvisation in the horror genre
especially in B movies and even the
cheesiest of lines can be enhanced by a
good performance this is not the case in
troll 2 which actually has nothing to do
with the original film nor does it
include actual trolls however it does
include a supporting character named
Arnold that witnesses the wrath of
vegetarian goblins most notably the
Queen Creedence unsurprisingly Arnold
finds himself in a bit of trouble and
attempts to verbalize his concerns
[Music]
when combined with the ludicrous visuals
of a woman who is transformed into
vegetables the overall awfulness of the
collective horror in this scene makes
for the lamest of all lame horror deaths
and why can’t I move there there must be
a logical reason for all this shut up do
you agree with our list
yes which big screen horror death do you
think is the most lame form or scare
inducing top 10s published every day be
