Slasher movies are the lifeblood of the horror genre. Combining a terrifying antagonist, some ingenious killing methods, and an unquantifiable amount of viscera into one ridiculous package, watching big bad movie villains hack their way through an endless victim list has become part and parcel of the horror experience.

And with so many movies populating the subgenre, there's been a whole load of death across the years played out in the weirdest of ways. Whether it's sentient television sets tearing people apart or shattering freshly frozen faces the depths of space, there's plenty of contenders for what could be the best slasher movie death of all time in an almost impossibly wide field. Almost.

Now, fan favourites and subjective opinion will of course always reign supreme in this type of list, so please join in and share your picks in the comments section below so we can rack up the best (dis)honourable mentions. For now though, we're going to go right on ahead and take a wild stab at the creme de la bloody creme of the best deaths from across the years in the most broad sense possible.

Stick your mac on, it's going to get messy.

10. Factory Showdown - Child's Play 2

Chucky's pint-sized terrorising of all things human is a beloved part of the slasher canon, with his hot murder streak containing all the best imaginings of what a doll can do when inhabited by the soul of a serial killer. Whilst the whole airbag full of nails thing definitely stands as one of his most gnarly kills, it's actually the death of Chucky himself that seems most worthy of mention.

Set in the Good Guy Doll factory, we get to see a poor worker swing by who's had his eyeballs gouged out and replaced with googly eyes, before an injured Chucky manages to drag himself over to Andy with the intent of cutting his legs off. Of course.

As Chucky gets his arm stuck on a wild knife swing, Andy manages to turn a vat of molten plastic on the doll, melting and turning him into a steaming heap of what looks like liquified chicken nuggets. Resilient as Chucky is, he doesn't quite die until Kyle sticks an air pipe in his mouth and explodes him in a dramatic splash of plastic and guts.

Well, that's one hell of a way to go out.
