20 Ludicrous Ways To Die In A Horror Film

15. Tromeo & Juliet (Lloyd Kaufman, 1996)

Tromeo1 Tromeo & Juliet is the infamous Lloyd Kaufman's Troma-rific retelling of the classic Shakespearian tale- full of incestual sex, penis monsters and at least one totally ludicrous death. Tromeo is one of the ba**ard sons of Monty Que, a former-businessman turned alcoholic who lost his company to his former-partner, Capulet, in some sort of shady con. Juliet is a budding young woman who has an insanely incestual brother and disturbingly twisted relationship with her father- who keeps her bound and locked in a giant glass box. Tromeo and Juliet have fallen for one another, despite the fact that their families have forbid them to be together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUC5VQ6Rv6A After Tromeo (makes sweet, sweet love to and) frees Juliet, from the confines of her father, the two elope and go on the run together, while being pursued by one of Juliet's goon brothers. Eventually he finds Tromeo, and a scuffle ensues. Just when he is about to stab Tromeo, a car carrying a wide-load-ladder (sticking fully extended out the side window) drives by snagging him and ripping off his arm. When the car slams on it's brakes, the Capulet goon goes flying off, right into a flatbed tow-truck as it's raising it's bed....decapitating him. His head is hurled through the air and into the windshield of a local family, whose car flips and crashes in the process. The family survives...and the kids start playing with the head as a new souvenir. Just another normal day in Tromaville.

I'm also an anarcho-punk fan that rides a bike, enjoys going on hikes, and really likes fruit....a sort of hippy-punk hybrid, if you will. I graduated from Brock University with an Honours degree in Political Science and an unofficial minor in Film. I enjoy writing learning, reading and writing about politics, film, and punk related issues. I hit shows in TO pretty often and look forward to checking out new films at TIFF every September.
