9. Pac-Man: Arcade/Consoles (1980) Pulled Apart
How can the arcade classic Pac-Man be on a list about disgusting ways to die? The game is unbelievably charming, with its colourful setting, loveable characters and well-crafted music, surely I must be wrong? Well, do you remember how you die? Jesus Christ, it looks like torture. When you're hit, everything stops dead, and your body or head/mouth thing is slowly pulled back on itself as your pixelated screams echo throughout the stage. And, only when you're pulled back to the breaking point, do the blood curdling screams stop and you vanish into nothingness. Sure, there is no blood or body parts to see, but my God when you think about it, it's a horrible way to go. It's not unlike a Saw movie, and that really isn't something we should be saying about a loveable character who gets chased by adorable ghosts.
