10 Jaw-Dropping Death Scenes That Blew Audiences' Minds

5. Doctor Gets Severed - Damien: Omen II

damien 2 A forefather to the Final Destination franchise, the Omen series followed the mischievous escapades of the lovable rapscallion and Antichrist, Damien. Damien rarely took the hands-on approach to offing those who dared interfere with his nefarious plans for world domination, instead opting to use his demonic powers to instigate elaborate Rube Goldberg-like deathtraps to catch his prey. One of the most shocking and mind-blowing deaths in the series befalls an unfortunate doctor who incites Damien's wrath by testing Damien's blood and discovering that Damien was spawned from a jackal (don't ask). Rushing out of the lab to deliver this befuddling news to Damien's adoptive father, the unwitting doctor decides to save time by taking the last elevator ride of his life. In a series of demonically influenced mishaps, to elaborate to detail here, the unfortunate physician finds himself severed in half by a falling elevator cord. This is definitely proof that taking the stairs instead of the elevator can be beneficial to your health.
