Since the dawn of genre cinema, horror films have thrilled audiences with gruesome death scenes at the hands of monsters and madmen. Over time, filmmakers came up with the slasher subgenre to excite bloodthirsty audiences with a particular hunger for over-the-top simulated murder.
Of course, some of these cinematic deaths were bound to be stranger than others. With that in mind, we recently published an article spotlighting six unusual weapons in horror movies, hoping to celebrate the creativity behind these iconic death scenes. With so many murder movies to choose from, we couldn’t stay on one list. This time, with some suggestions from readers like you, we’re going to show you six of the most unusual weapons in horror movies!
As before, the list will operate under a few rules. First, the weapons are chosen according to your overall creativity with regards to their use, so it’s no use complaining that the rest of the movie wasn’t good. Second, the entry must have been actively used as a weapon. eat alive) or environmental hazards (such as liquid nitrogen from Jason X).
With that out of the way, don’t forget to comment below if you think you’ve missed an important tool of the trade.
Now for the list…
6. Corn (sleepwalker)
Written by Stephen King and directed by horror master Mick Garris sleepwalker It’s a strange thread about a murderous duo of shapeshifters looking for virginity. It’s often remembered as one of the worst King adaptations, but I personally think this reputation is unjustified.
A great example of this fun cheesiness is genre veteran Alice Kridge using corn on the cob to backstab an unsuspecting police officer, followed by 007-Escline delivery in the form of “no vegetables, no dessert”. This moment is so ridiculous that it has to look believable. That’s why this deadly corn is on the list.
5. Trombone (The town that feared the sunset)
Based on a real-life series of Texarkana murders, Charles B. Pierce’s classic seems strange. The town that feared the sunset Takes one of the most ridiculous death scenes in cinema. But when her teenage musician, Peggy, finds herself helplessly tied to a tree, the Phantom Her Killer begins stabbing her in ridiculously elaborate fashion, landing on the end of her victim’s trombone. Attach her knife to the pocket, play it on her.
It’s technically a knife on the end of an instrument that kills its victims, but this death wouldn’t have the same impact without the killer’s bizarre penchant for performance art. Luckily for us, the trombone returns in 2014’s underrated sequel/reboot (directed by Alfonso Gomez Rejon).
4. Sentinel (Phantasm)
One of the most underrated masters of low-budget horror, Don Coscarelli Phantasmwhich follows a young boy trying to stop the villainous Undertaker from enslaving our planet’s dead. It also boasts a series of floating metal orbs that do the bidding and are responsible for some of the franchise’s most memorable kills.
In a world filled with common ax killers and machete-wielding lunatics, it’s fun to watch filmmakers think outside the box when coming up with iconic horror villains and weapons. With its ability to constantly evolve between movies and become more and more ridiculous in sequels, The Sentinel is as iconic as horror can get.
3. Holy Water Super Soaker (from dusk till dawn)
talking from dusk till dawn The horror movie may be a bit of a spoiler (the movie is over 30 years old at this point, so blame yourself, I guess), but the second half of this Rodriguez and Tarantino mashup is the most creative. A person will appear. A vampire killer made into a movie. In fact, it’s kind of hard to pick a favorite weapon from a movie where Tom Savini fires a crotch gun, but I have to go with the Holy Water Super Soaker.
Not only is it one of cinema’s most delicious chatty ideas, but it’s also a great little piece of character development, using emergency holy water as a sign of Harvey Keitel’s newfound faith. Holy water balloons are also included, which are less stylish but equally effective.
2. Candy Razor (Trick or Treat)
John Carpenter’s iconic contribution to the slashing genre, Michael Dougherty’s Trick or Treat is one of the most Halloween-centric experiences ever. Naturally, this means that the film references several urban legends surrounding this festive occasion, including the classic “razor blade hidden inside Halloween candy.” To do.
This sugar-coated trap is used by seemingly cute Sam like a cheeky little pocket knife, and by a pumpkin-headed kid to slice Brian Cox’s Achilles tendon like stale candy corn. increase. Unconventional but effective!
1. Double-sided dildo (Deathgasm)
Jason Ray Howden Deathgasm is a super fun ride for fans of heavy metal and satanic horror comedies. After a group of metal-loving teenagers accidentally unleash an ancient demon possessing the inhabitants of a small New Zealand town, the film has no shortage of brutal killings. But one particular scene of the supernatural carnage stands out for its sheer absurdity.
Our hero is possessed by a killer, with the only weapon at his disposal is a creative assortment of sex toys hilariously hidden in a box marked “Church Thing”. I notice that.Naturally, a comedic battle ensues in which the teenagers defend themselves using an array of phallic objects, including a double-sided dildo. preferable A zombie-killing weapon, but wielded like a vein nun, it’s surprisingly effective!
