10 Best Slasher Movie Kills
2. Death Bed - A Nightmare On Elm Street
Freddy Krueger has some of the most iconic kills in the horror genre. It's unsurprising really, considering he has the power of dreams at his disposal to make some seriously twisted fantasies come to life, but quite how ridiculous his deadly antics get is still terrifying even almost 40 years later. From turning into what would be by any other name a Teletubby and driving Jennifer's head through his iteration of a sentient TV screen, to dosing up a drug addict with his own needle-fingered concoction, there's plenty to choose from in his back catalogue of pain.
However, there can only be one, and the first movie is still the gold standard for his gross slasher goodness. Most memorable is Johnny Depp's murder as he falls asleep in his bedroom, sinking into his mattress only to be chewed up and spat back out again as pulpy raspberry smoothie. The sheer amount of blood that flies out of his (literal) death bed is both spine-chilling and creepily impressive in equal measure, making it a moment not easily forgotten in the vast Nightmare On Elm Street canon.
