Worst death in zombie films?

[acealive1]

even though i didnt like the whole movie, i'll have to go with survival of the dead. being scalped in a barn by a dead guy is no fun.

I'm not sure what the question is exactly... Could you please rephrase it?

[acealive1]

worst death in a zombie film. what is your choice of one.

Wow, tough question. First thing that pops into my mind is Captain Rhodes being pulled apart in Day of the Dead. Then again, Stephen being munched in Dawn of the Dead was kind of nasty too. If including TWD as a zombie "film" (although technically it's a series),   then Otis being ripped apart would rate also. Admin - We havnt all seen episode 3 yet. Please be very aware of this when posting spoilers.

Depends on what u mean by worst. Being the crappiest death scene in my opinion was Dianne from Shaun Of The Dead. She ran into a horde of zombies with no general common sense about what would happen.

Rhodes. Shot multiple times AND torn to pieces by zombies. After that would probably be Roger. Two bites and a long, agonizing road to death.

Diane didn't die, though. We didn't see her die, doesn't count. Um, I'd have to say... that one guy in Day with the vocal cords... You know who I mean. Yeah.

He was screaming as they pulled his head off; his vocal cords were stretched like tightening guitar strings further and further. Um, eww.

Rickles in 'Day of the Dead'. Bloody chilling.

There are so many horrible deaths. I think being torn apart after being shot is pretty horrible but Rhodes is true to himself, a bastard to the end it does not seem to phase him after fighting until the last he still gets in the last word. I think knowing it is coming is terrible. How about Michael in the dead remake sitting on the dock not able to go with the survivors just waiting to die, or for the fire to die down and be over run, or kill yourself. Wanting desperately to go with the woman you have fallen for after fighting through everything, losing your kid, and then just to watch all hope sail away while you wait to die THIS close to what you think is safety. Roger in Dawn was pretty bad too, but he had snapped and lost it and then was out of his mind with fever so I don't think he ever really knew the terror. Helen in Night was bad, they still had no idea what was going on. Didn't know the rules fully or what was at stake. Her daughter came back to life and stabbed her with a spade and then ate her and as a mother she was so conflicted about self preservation or destroying what she viewed as her child she allowed herself to be killed by what was once the child she cared for so deeply.

Um, eww. fuckin' get out of my head, both you and shootem' - out now. i was just about to wax poetic about rickles' bone-chilling, horrid death, but you've both fucked it up for me. -- -------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ---------- Helen in Night was bad, they still had no idea what was going on.

We didn't see her die, doesn't count. in fact, i think that somewhere in the special features there is a "what happened to dianne" segment, where she is shown up a tree holding off a horde of zombies with someone's leg (or was it arm?). someone give me some back-up on this one.

She ran into a horde of zombies with no general common sense about what would happen. on the dvd they explain what happened to her. she beat the zombies with david's leg and climbed a tree and ate his leg while waiting out the zombie outbreak

I always felt real bad for Barbara at the end of night getting pulled into the crowd of ghouls by Johnny while she shouts "No, Johnny!!!" while you see Ben consider for a moment to try to save her, but theres nothing he can do. Not an onscreen death per se (although you would assume she died in the crowd) but no matter how many times I have seen NOTLD in the past this still makes my skin crawl. But in Zombi 2, the Fulci film that pretended to be a euro sequel to Zombi aka "DAWN OF THE DEAD" there was that scene where the woman her face pulled towards that wooden splinter that goes into her eye. A little fake looking to be sure, but freaking gruesome!

Patrick (Andy Nyman) in Dead Set, a rip off Rhodes death in Day of the Dead but quite a bit more gorier.

A little fake looking to be sure, but freaking gruesome! Dammit Yojimbo! Why did you make me remember that scene! I apparently (and for years thankfully) forgot about it until your post! [insert "BIG NO" here] @Mike70: dude that was a great post!
