20 Awesome Horror Movie Deaths NOBODY Talks About
5. Sleeping Bag Explosion - Prophecy
Sometimes a death scene is so ludicrously over-egged that the only correct response is to laugh your ass off, and you know what? That's just fine.
In John Frankenheimer's Prophecy, a mutant bear known as Katahdin wreaks havoc in the wilderness, culminating in the absurdly unhinged moment where it makes short work of a child.
In the middle of the night, a young boy zipped into his yellow sleeping is woken by the rampaging bear, and before he can do anything but hop around helplessly, the bear smacks him with full force, catapulting the poor lad into a nearby boulder where he instantly explodes in a plume of feathers.
Props to Frankenheimer for making child murder so undeniably funny - just try not to laugh while watching this scene.
Prophecy may not be a great or even particularly good movie, but this bats**t insane scene has brought joy to millions over the decades.
