3. Basketball of Death - Deadly Friend
Director Wes Craven has made some iconic horror films in his career; ranging from The Last House on the Left, to A Nightmare on Elm Street and the entire Scream series. There are a few hidden gems amongst his filmography and few stinkers as well. His 1986 sci-fi horror flick Deadly Friend falls into the stinker category as a decidedly dull exercise in the genre. A teenage boy reanimates his dead girlfriend with a microchip and she becomes a robotic killing machine. Its all pretty lame actually. However, the film does feature one of the wackiest and straight up over the top gory moments in Cravens career. The robotic menace, played by Kristy Swanson, who has super strength, gets revenge on her cranky old neighbor (played by Anne Ramsay from The Goonies) and throws a basketball at her face which causes her entire head to explode. Her headless body, spurting blood, then continues to flail around the room like a chicken that just had its head chopped off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQAcCTkFMIk Its definitely one of the best deaths by basketball youll ever see in a movie.
