Strange movie deaths quiz 2.

Shall we play a game? 

One of the perks of watching a lot of movies is that you see screenwriters getting more and more creative as time goes on. Writers always try to come up with something that hasn’t been attempted/done before. And nowhere has this been more apparent than in the morbid niche of movie storytelling that is: the death scene.

I must have seen thousands of people meet their maker on the silver screen during my short life on this earth. Explosions, gunshots, you name it. But there are far more creative ways to kill a human –as movies tell us.

So here I wish to have a little (morbid) quiz. I state ten causes of death and in the spoiler tag below it is the movie it came from. See how many you get.

Theme: items around the house.
Anything in your house can kill you. You can trip over toys, stabbed by a fountain pen, put something metal in your microwave. But there are more creative ways to meet the reaper as movies tell us.

1. Death by basketball.

Deadly friend.

2. Death by stair-lift

The Gremlins.

3. Death by bed.

The bed that kills.

4. Death by television-set.

Final destination (or Tales from the crypt: none but the lonely heart).

5. Death by curling iron.

Sleepaway camp.

6. Death by fireplace.

The haunting.

7. Death by mounted dear horns.

The lost boys.

8. Death by water pistol.

From dusk till dawn

9. Death by walking rack.

UHF

10. Death by meat thermometer .

A perfect murder.

I think, by now, you’ll have figured out that there’s a reasonable chance that there's going to be a Final Destination-death in each and every one of these quizzes. I can't help myself – those movies are so deliciously silly.
