At least he went out by getting his final wish "fullfilled", and ended up with his beloved ball.

I recently watched Hobgoblins (1988) for the first, and most likely very last time. However, it was nowhere near what I would describe as "one of the worst" movies ever made, but according to the director (forgotten the guys name) he sees it as a bit of a "quality" mark, to have his movie placed well down below at the IMDb bottom 100 films, which I can somehow understand, because many of those who lies around there, seems to have a large cult-following, and really are not all that bad in the first place. But it seems like the guy making Hobogblins really were afraid it might one day disappear from that list, and then be forgotten. I guess that is one of the reasons to why it incredibly enough, ended up getting an sequel, many years later on, which I have yet to see, but who knows? maybe I will some day.  Anyway, back to topic, and for me one of the films most hilarious scenes, came when the Hogoblins "attacked" some party-going teenagers inside a house, and it looked like someone behind the camera just throwed a bunch of stuffed teddy bears at the actors, and then the director shouted out: "Roll around like crazy people!" and even the pillows that they use to beat on those little furry beast, look far more intimidating than the actual monsters in the film.  I tried looking up for these clips, and well, the fun all begins around 00:44 seconds out in the video below, so grab a pillow and start the bashing!!! |

Sorry about that one, since none of the characters in the video/post above actually died of being attacked by the Hobgoblins, but I guess, well I think they still are worthy to be mentioned in this thread.

Another one, completely forgotten which of the Friday the 13th films it is taken from, but I laughed out loud, when Jason was actually killing a poor guy in the basement of a cabin, and where his latest victim was screaming or shouting out something like "OH MY GOD, HE IS KILLING ME!" while he was getting cut to pieces.

Alright, this one is a pure cheese of, "so-bad-its-hilarious" type of scene, and still, if I had seen some parts of it, specially as a little kid, it would probably scare the living crap out of me.
The one part, where a disfigured Vasile (with a mask hiding his gruesome face) kind of reminded me of that very disturbing scene where a young Jennifer Connelly tracked down the killer in Dario Argentos masterpiece, Phenomena which also were released in 1985.
Anyway, I just love how over-the-top and ridiculous everything from the "dramatic" build up, to where the poor little guy ends up having his eyes blown out of the skull by werewolf queen Stirba (Sybil Danning) only to become just another one of her slave-creatures set upon to destroy Stefan (Christopher Lee) and his action man sidekick Reb Brown, who then comes to the rescue and throws Vasile out the window.

Well, I guess I just have to keep on coming back to this thread, as there more I think about all of these hilarious death/attack scenes, the more "classics" seemss to show up in my mind:
This one, is must-see, of course if you are like me, a sucker for sleazy/cheesy low-budget 80s horror movies, and the one called Uninvited (1988), is pure cheese, so much that my DVD copy of it, actually is by a company named "Cheezy-Flicks", so there ya go.
The film is really quite something, a bunch of horny old yuppy-criminals ends up bringing along several students on their luxurious yacht, only to also get along an uninvited "guest", that is actually a mutated cat, who is by the way poisonous too!
The killer-cat or whatever it is, goes completely berserk, and start biting people all over, and what I really admire about guys like George Kennedy, is that no matter how huge or low budget the films he appeared in might look, he always gave his very best. I mean, his part is almost "Oscar" worthy, compared to the acting of many of todays actors in these huge horror movies, but he goes all the way, and I have always been a fan of the guy, so that made me only love this laughable movie even more.
Just for the fun of it, here are some other great scenes:

And they just keep on coming back to me:
Basket Case (1982) is of course one which really must be mentioned, specially the part where Duane and his twin brother Belial, is visiting an old "friend", Dr. J. Cutter, and when Belial attacks her, he almost screams louder than her, and the noises, and the whole over-the-top acting is such a joy to watch over and over again, and just one of many things that make this one an all time b-movie classic.

Damn, I might be "stuck" in here for a while now, but I just cannot stop re-watching all these hiliarous movie scenes.
Here's another great one, from a Frank Henenlotter classic by the name of Frankenhooker (1990), and where poor Dr. Jeffrey Franken and his super-drug seems to have a rather nasty side effect, which causes his female "guests" to explode, much to the dismay of their caring pimp, Zorro!
"Oh, God. She's gonna blow!!!"

The Last Shark aka Great White (1981) sure do come packing with tons of cheese, and while sadly some of the best and most funny moments seems to have been deleted or lost over the last few years, there is still this "epic" scene that makes good use of a little toy helicopter:
Also to be mentioned about the film, and some scene that was just so way over-the-top it made me laugh so hard, that I almost "threw up" my food when watching it the very first time.
There is a scene, I think much earlier on, when a couple of divers discover an underwater cave, or something like that, and the evil shark stalks them, then bumps his nose/head into some big rocks, that eventually makes the whole cave to collapse.
But what makes it into a riot is that the director switches, on and off, from showing what I guess is some random footage of a nature documentary, back to up close images of what is very likely a small rubber-shark, and it is so laughable done, that one just gotta give it to the italians and their many Hollywood 80s rip-offs. They were trashy, but highly enjoyable.

Oh yes, the scene from the mutant "man-bear-pig" nature strike back monster-thriller Prophecy, I have to re-watch than one soon, I loved the monster and the whole creepy opening scene.
Wasn't there also a similar scene in one of the Friday the 13th films, where a guy inside a sleeping bag got either burned or beaten to death by Jason?

My first choice was also the basketball death from Deadly Friend but as someone's beaten me to it I'll have to call in my #2 choice.
There's an exceptionally daft death by fruitbowl in the highly acclaimed Daughters of Darkness (1971). I could hardly believe how the bowl broke cleanly into two and then both halves simultaneously rolled precisely onto the wrists of the victim, slicing both open as cleanly as a razor!
It's quite an arty film so there's probably some subliminal or symbolic point to the scene but I wasn't drunk enough to figure it out.
I still enjoy the film - and the scene - every time however!

I had it in my mind earlier today, but almost forgot about the hilarious moment in the 1980s horror movie, Trick or Treat (1986) as the high school prom really begins to take off, especially when the presumely "dead" heavy metal idol, Sammi Curr suddenly arrives the stage and delivers one hell of a electric show. However, he soon starts to fire off these electrical "missiles" into the over-enthusiastic crowd of fans, and I always laugh out almost hysterical, when one of the fans on the first row, suddenly just burst into flames, and before you know it, some other random headbanger just storms up and takes his place and continues the party without a care in the world.

Nothing -- nothing -- is sillier than the death of wheelchair-bound Dr. Frankenstein (J. Carrol Naish) in Al Adamson's DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN (1971). He accidentally guillotines himself!

That was hilarious. Did the director really think that was going to scare the audience? |

I like the heck out of "Jaws 2", but when the shark takes down the helicopter, I thought it was a bit much.
Ditto "Damien: Omen 2" when Damien kills his cousin Mark, it seems like an extremely unspecific cause. It was just goofy. From the same movie, when the crow attacks reporter Joan Hart, I thought that was very silly looking, though technically she gets killed by a truck. (And I do like this movie a lot.)
