If You Were A Character In A Horror Movie, How Would You Die?

If it turned out your life was actually taking place inside a horror movie, which one is it, do you survive, if not how are you killed?

I picture myself winding up in a Friday The 13th movie. I hate camping, so I stick around the cabin, getting drunk and complaining there is no internet. None of the girls fuck me, but while going outside for a cigarette, I spy on one of them getting undressed through the window and Jason slits my throat, which leaks cigarette smoke as I choke and collapse to the ground.

Not so much horror as thriller, but if I have to go, I want to go like the guy during the opening credits of Basic Instinct.

I wouldn't die, because I'd be the serial killer that can't be killed.

My Death - Being drugged, having my skull removed and chowing on my own delicious brains - all courtesy of Hannibal Lector and his impeccable taste. I really do appreciate the finer things in life.

Other possiblities...

Most Bleak - A quick death seems desirable. But I always liked the dude who was meat-hooked and left alive in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.

Most Random and Hilarious Death - Pick any from the Final Destination movies.

Most Enchanting Death - To be part of something supernatural would confirm my belief in an afterlife. Probably the most comforting death.

I'd be a flashback death. When the killer is just a child, and learning how to kill.

Suspended in a giant blender full of nails that Jigsaw somehow manufactured. I'm open to ideas pertaining to the task I was allotted but failed to complete.

Having a screwdriver being shoved into my neck slowly, whilst I spit up blood everywhere.

Thanks, Jason Voorhees.

i would stick my head into the front loading washing machine looking for a missing sock, and get my head vigorously banged up and down inside of it until it was mush. perhaps my killer would remove my body and someone would inadvertently use the machine with my skullmains inside as a defacto "green" form of fabric softener.

I would like to save a group of kids by taking down a horde of zombies. But, there are too many, so I get torn apart in the end.

Re: If You Were A Character In A Horror Movie, How Would You Die?

I have always wanted to go out by being ripped to pieces by a shark. The scene in Jaws when Robert Shaw's character gets it still freaks me out to this day. When I was in elementary school a teacher over heard me tell some friends that I thought it would be cool to jump in a shark tank at Sea World and be ripped apart in front of everyone there. I ended up spending months in therapy after that.

I never thought about this before.

After going missing, I would be found by my friends months later, awake in a bed with clean white sheets and surrounded by medical equipment. My heart would be missing, and my aorta would be hooked up to a pump on a stainless steel cart. I would whisper some critical information, but no one would be able to understand me. Then the monitoring machine would go Beep beep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Tickled to death by Miley Cyrus because I forgot my flashlight. Depending where she tickles me, I'm okay with this.

Re: If You Were A Character In A Horror Movie, How Would You Die?

I like to think id survive such a scenario, but my luck would probably have me fight the killer and see that I can't make a dent. Knowing when I'm beat, I would run away and almost escape, only to step in some bullshit long forgotten trap set up years earlier. While incapacitated, is get a dew good knocks in before getting choked.

Or, like Robert Deniro in 15 Minutes.

Or, I'd escape and return to help out others at the end.

I want it to start with opening the cupboard and having a cat jump out.

When the killer appears, be sure to say "Oh, it's you!" to them.
