Top Creative Death Contraptions
 
My favorite elaborate or creative death contraptions:

Reverse Bear Trap (Saw)
Twisting Crucifix (Saw III)
Drill Bra (Machine Girl)
Portable Guillotine (Trauma)
Starving Rat Cage (1984)
Halloween Masks With Flints Of Stonehenge (Halloween III Season Of The Witch)

What others are there?

well, the only one I can think of at the moment is the sacrifice spike door in demonic toys which requires a virgin to complete the sacrifice!

Theres the fatal flying guillotine from some old school kung fu movies. Not horror but still a useful death device.

Dr. Phibes began it all...

Not sure if anyone touched on this or not, but the flying spheres from Phantasm was pretty cool for its day. I know I didn't see it coming. :)

(smacks head) I dont know how I forgot this one but in a final destination movie two girls get burned to death in tanning beds!

TheWickerFan 07-06-2010 03:42 PM

The Silver Sphere was mentioned.

The tanning beds in Final Destination 3 probably don't qualify because they weren't designed for killing.

Dr. Phibes was awesome! I guess the skull-crushing frog mask would qualify.http://www.stomptokyo.com/badmoviere...ics/A/ADP2.jpg

The entire movie revolves around Phibes killing his enemies with unusual devices. Another one was the system of tubes that dropped honey on his victim, and then locusts eat her. Another is killed by freezing to death, by a machine that spews ice.

I've always been fond of the phone with the spike that came out in the dude's ear in Dr Phibes.

I really must watch this film again; there's clearly a lot I've forgotten.

I love films where the killer follows a clear pattern in his killings:

Plagues Of Egypt (Abominable Dr. Phibes)
Shakespeare Deaths (Theatre Of Blood)
Deadly Sins (Seven)
Famous Serial Killer MOs (Copycat)
Ten Little Indians (And Then There Were None)

Couldn't find a picture of the device, but this dude deserves a place in the Top Evil Clowns list.http://www.weirdwildrealm.com/filmim...-evilclown.jpg

The deadly hair dryer in Theater Of Bloodhttp://tesla.liketelevision.com/like...lelectro6a.jpg

Theatre of Blood is a classic
 
Vincent Price said that this was his favourite film. The methods in the kills are all taken from Shakespeare and the acting is completely over the top. Its a lot of fun. Did you know that Theatre of Blood was also on stage at the National Theatre in 2005. It was well received by the critics and audiences. Jim Broadbent was the lead in the role (no one could replace Mr Price.) Thats a night at the theatre!
