Which are your favorites?

I personally have a thing for the headshots in Dawn of the Dead (original) and The Beyond.

Louis Del Grande in Scanners. 'Nuff said!

Again a movie I have not seen in its entirety. I have heard of that head explosion from my buddy.

Oh yeah, good one. I like the shotgun to the face in Maniac, myself. They blew up a watermelon to get the right effect. Vintage Savini.

Savini makes my pickle tickle!

The end of Roman Polanski's Macbeth has the best beheading I've ever seen in a movie.

For my money, it's the death of the voyeur pervert at the hands of the Mark 13 in Hardware.

Does "Re-Animator" count?

Rory L. Aronsky · 07-11-2005, 11:50 PM

Damn right. That's great head!

Kristy Swanson obliterating the old woman's head with a basketball in Deadly Friend. Then seeing the headless old woman jostle about with a bloody neck.

The Omen - plate glass severed acrobatic noggin'

Friday the 13th - mommy's head removed with more acrobatics

Day of the Dead - head pulled-off while screaming, pitch raises as neck is stretched

Blood Sucking Freaks - the brain sucked out of woman's skull ... wait a minute, that doesn't count... sorry

**actually Savini discussed the Maniac head trick - fired both barrels at a blood condom and entrail filled replica of his own head, not a watermelon**

Hmm, I had heard the watermelon thing. Cool way to do the effect, and to shoot a sequence that quickly, too...

If my memory serves correctly, I was impressed by the suicide head-shot in The Devil's Advocate. I'm not sure if that classifies as a horror movie, though.
