10 Awesome Recent Horror Movie Death Scenes

7. John Labat - MaXXXine

Terrifier 3 Art the Clown
A24

One of MaXXXine's primary antagonists is sleazeball private investigator John Labat, played with a certain campy glee by the great Kevin Bacon. 

And Labat certainly receives a fate befitting the low content of his character, after Maxine (Mia Goth) lures him into a trap, tricking him into following her before she, he agent Teddy (Giancarlo Esposito), and her pal Shepard (Uli Latukefu) ambush him.

Labat ends up trapped inside his car as it's placed under an industrial car crusher at a junkyard, and despite his pleas, he's helpless as the crusher goes into action, smooshing his body into a bloody pulp along with the car he's sealed inside.

It's certainly a death scene in the lurid vein of the giallo films Ti West keenly homaged throughout the movie, even if it's also horrific enough to perhaps make you feel slightly sorry for Labat, undeniably reprehensible though he was.
