Best of Wikipedia: Index of movies by type of grisly death scene

A sample from the glorious, necrofabulous whole:Dr. Phibes Rises Again...or at least part of him does

Death from a fall into a molten substance

Death by fluid extraction

  • The Abominable Dr. Phibes, in which Vincent Price's insane physician dispatches a victim by hypnotizing him, then draining his blood, pint by pint.
  • Dr. Giggles, the Doc puts a sucking tube with blades down a patient's mouth filling a bowl with blood, etc.
  • Exorcist III, in which a patient in the hospital has all his blood drained into Dixie cups lined up neatly next to his bed.
  • Halloween II, Michael Myers puts an arm pump around a patients arm in a hospital and cuts a tiny hole under the pump. Later, victims running from Michael enter the room and a man slips on the blood from the drained and lifeless.
  • Hot Shots!, wherein a blood donor is sucked out dry during a blood extraction.
  • Interview with the Vampire, in which various minor characters have their blood drained by vampires.
  • Killer Klowns from Outer Space, in which various characters have bodily fluids sucked out by sippy straws.
  • Starship Troopers, in which a character has his brains sucked out by a "Brain Bug"
  • Tank Girl, wherein characters have all water from their body extracted.
  • War of the Worlds (2005 version), in which captured humans have blood drained from their bodies so as to grow the red weed.
  • Tuxedo, wherein Peter Stormare's character tests his bioweapon on an underling. This deadly bacteria completely dehydrates the man within seconds, leaving him a brittle and dried-out corpse.

Awesome! This should save precious hours once wasted haggling over which godawful Charlie Sheen sci-fi to watch. The one with the exploding skulls, or the one with the blender scene? How much more efficient computers have made us, and what marvelous levels of achievement we are able to attain with the time thus gifted to us. Like getting really good at PS2.
