It might sound quite dark, but what horror fan doesn’t love it when the killer from their favourite horror franchise uses a weapon? If Jason or Freddy or Michael only took out their victims with their bare hands they might not be as well-known or as feared as they are today. As characters they’re already terrifying, but throw in a machete or a knifed glove or a kitchen knife and they become the stuff of legend. The weapon is like the final piece of the puzzle. Also, when you think about it, those iconic weapons are almost as iconic as the characters who brandish them.

But killers in movies, and not just horror movies, sometimes like to mix it up a bit. Either they get bored of using the same weapon over and over, or they have a strange sixth sense that the onlooking audience wants to see something a little bit different next time. Sometimes they might use a hammer, sometimes a nail gun, sometimes they might even use those bare hands we mentioned earlier. But sometimes, just sometimes, they might use a chainsaw.

A truly unique weapon with an instantly recognisable sound that can rip and tear like nothing else! In this list we’ll look at 10 of the craziest chainsaw kills in movies. Enjoy! (You sickos).
