10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died Painful Deaths

10. Timothy - Saw III

When it comes to death traps from the Saw franchise, it's hard to pick just one. This is a series which began with a guy chopping off his own foot with a blunt hacksaw, after all. Over the course of nine movies, Jigsaw and his many imitators have turned violent, painful death into its own industry.

One of the most memorable of the series' deathtraps popped up in Saw III - a tricksy little contraption, known as 'The Rack.' Resembling a metal crucifix, the Rack consists of rotating cylindrical contraptions, each fitted to a particular area of the human body. With the unlucky participant bolted inside, the Rack would twist and contort, breaking the arms and legs - one by one - until finally snapping the victim's neck.

Timothy Young (Mpho Koaho) is unlucky to experience the Rack firsthand, being kidnapped by 'Jigsaw' after committing hit-and-run. One by one, Timothy's limbs are wrenched to breaking point and snapped like twigs before, finally, mercifully, his head goes too, twisting like a bottle cap.
