Deep Red - Decapitation

Another great death by the master Dario Argento. In the climax of the film Deep Red, Martha confronts Marcus with a butcher knife. In the struggle, Martha's necklace becomes entangled in the bars of an elevator shaft that then ascends, lifting her into the air until she is decapitated.

Terror at the Opera - Peephole Headshot

In the most incredibly filmed scene from Terror at the Opera, Mira looking through a peephole, is greeted by a bullet gliding gracefully into her face. The shot is fantastic because the camera is slowed down to the extreme as you can see the bullet pass from the gun into the metal tunnel of the spy hole. Its not a special effects trick, it's a slow motion real time shot of a bullet being fired and looks fantastic.

C.O.D. - Headshot

Victim - Mira (Daria Nicolodi)

Assailant - Inspector Alan Santini (Urbano Barberini)

Famous Last Words - "No, not the gun. I want to see your face" --Mira

Suspiria - Dario Argento: Violent Deaths

Suspiria is a 1977 Italian horror film directed by "Giallo" master Dario Argento. The story is about a young American ballet student who arrives in Germany to attend a prestigious dance academy. After a couple of strange occurrences she begins having suspicions that all is not as it seems at the school. She eventually discovers the school is a front for a coven of witches who practice black magic. Entertainment Weekly rated the film #18 in its top 25 scariest movies of all time and said it had "the most vicious murder scene ever filmed." The first clip was actually on Bravos' scariest moments list. In the scene, some poor girl gets her face smashed through a window, stabbed in the heart(seriously, she gets stabbed IN the heart), dropped though a skylight and hung by the neck, Brutal! In the second clip, a woman tries to escape only to fall into a giant pit of barbed wire, ouch! Then gets her throat slit just to top things off. Two classic deaths from one classic movie.
