Top Decapitations
 
My lame attempt at pulling off a WickerFan stunt. So what are some of your memorable ones?

Final Destination, The Omen, Dead Alive, Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Freddy vs Jason, Deadly Friend, Re-Animator, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, The Company of Wolves, Deep Red, Wrong Turn are some which come to mind.

Any others?

Hurray!! :D A Top list!!(My mind has burned out on list ideas for the moment)

One that immediately sprang to mind was Dario Argento's Traumahttp://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/ar...225588-000.jpg

Trauma was a good one. Phenomena also had one at the beginning. Argento sure knew how to pull off a nicely filmed decapitation.

30 Days of Night is another. Didn't the original Dawn of the Dead have one too? Or was that Day of the Dead?

Found this one from Dawn Of The Dead.http://www.hecklerspray.com/wp-conte...f-the-dead.jpg or maybe the helicopter scalping done on another zombie in Dawn Of The Dead.

Do head explosions count? If so, I'd like to include Scanners:http://mimg.ugo.com/200902/20530/scanners.jpg

Pretty sure it was Day of the Dead then. A swarm of zombies pull the head off this soldier guy or something like that. Just googled it but couldn't find a pic.

Another one would be the climax of Underworld. Not exactly a complete decapitation but close. Did any of the Cube or Saw movies have one?

Just remembered - Sleepy Hollow. Plenty of onscreen and implied decapitations. How about High Tension? Speaking of implied decapitations - Seven.

A little off the top please.
 
A few more. Scanners, Final Destination 2? the fencing doing a job on a guy. Dead Snow. Cheers

Scanners mentioned already, I need more coffee

Haven't watched Dead SNow yet. Any good?

Remembered some others- Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Halloween H20, Jeepers Creepers, Return of the Living Dead. Anyone know which was the first decapitation scene to be filmed in horror movies? Pretty sure it must be a classic one from the 60s or 70s.

I remembered this nasty decapitating device from Machine Girl:http://www.horrorphile.net/images/th...-shimazu-1.jpg

Don't know if it's the first, but The Execution Of Mary Queen Of Scots (1895) must be pretty close.http://www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/spec...execution.jpeg

Is that actually a movie or a documentary?

Just remembered- didn't Intruder have a nice decapitation too?
