NPO #27: Ten Favorite Horror Movie Deaths

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. Horror Timelines fan.

I like horror movies, Ticketholders!
And I have recently become a fan of Josh Speigel's Horror Timelines channel on YouTube. He also does movie series continuity videos for comedy, action, and sci-fi films, as well as Dead Last ranking videos and other top ten/list of ten videos, and has recently become known for his massive 80s Project series, wherein he covers and rates every sci-fi and horror movie from the eponymous decade (including some meme shorts where he dons Dustin Ferguson-quality old man makeup to fake-announce the 90s Project and the 2000s Project).

Today, Josh dropped a video requesting suggestions for a potential Dead Last list of horror movie deaths, so I thought I would take a crack at it, coming up with my own list of ten favorite horror movie deaths. I and all contributors have also been asked to rank those deaths.
It was hard to rank these as being "better" or more favored than one another, so I just went by which ones I remembered more immediately. If I gave myself time to think about it, other horror movie kills would have been on this list, so don't take offense if your favorite death isn't on here.

Also, Josh's Dead Last series usually works on golf rules because list placement equals points (First Place gets one point, Dead Last gets eight to thirteen points, depending on how many movies/looks/characters/deaths/etc. are being ranked in the video), but this ranking works backwards, so the more points, the more favored the death.

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the series. But because I wou

Dragon Blog Daima #23: Chatty

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Animeister My plan to record footage of me playing the new Vampire Survivors ' Ode to Castlevania DLC didn't pan out the way I wanted (because the update is massive -  or as MasakoX once pronounced it, which feels like a more appropriate expression, "ma- hoo -sive" - and I don't have the time, desire, or phone memory to devote to entire days of recording). But I'm still enjoying the experience of unlocking the new characters (there's a guy with a grenade launcher! A whip that explodes!), discovering the new quality of life changes (there's a map zoom now!), and exploring the environment (Dracula's castle! Hidden forest clearings! Giant bosses! Metroid vania -style progression unlocks! Platforming in a horde survival roguelike‽). And I don't think I'm even halfway done yet! So if you love playing Castlevania (or watching people on the internet play Castlevania ), give Vampire Survivors and the Ode t
