Horror : Exploding heads! (and other crush injuries…)

Exploding heads! (and other crush injuries…)

Lets start with Lucio Fulci's The Beyond (1981). Low budget effects work but gruesome and I like the way the head moves forward ejecting brain matter.

Re: Exploding heads!

One more from the same year to show what Tom Savini could do.
The Prowler (1981).

Re: Exploding heads!

Maniac (1980) Tom Savini on effects and he plays the man in the car.

Re: Exploding heads!

You can't be a real person. You must be that faggot nimda on a sock account.

Who would join a forum and reply to their own threads? That doesn't make sense.

Re: Exploding heads!

Because its a collection of things for amusement, not a conversation.
Why do anything? Why are you here? You should go and do something more productive with your time if this upsets you.

Re: Exploding heads!

Savini also doubled Joe Spinell when he fires the shotgun.

Yes, this is really me.

Re: Exploding heads!

Cool, that bit I did not know.

Re: Exploding heads!

Deadly Friend (1986) Anne Ramsey gets medicine balled.

Re: Exploding heads!

Who goes to a forum to reply to their own thread a bunch of times?

You're not a real person. You're a sock account.

Re: Exploding heads!

I'm real. I checked.
Did someone not wish you a Happy Birthday today?
Happy Birthday-have a good one!

Re: Exploding heads!

Oh shit

Dawn of the Dead (1978) Tom Savini again. He had limited time and money and its shows.
Still the best zombie film.

Re: Exploding heads!

Dawn of the Dead (2004) CGI isn't quite the same…

Re: Exploding heads!

Scanner Cop (1994)

Re: Exploding heads!

Scanners (1981) The classic everyone knows…

Re: Exploding heads!

Beautiful thread! Thank you. I'll try to find more exploding heads and I'll watch all of those films here that I havent seen yet, which is pretty much every one, except of Chopping Mall and Dawn of the Dead. It seems like especially 1980's films had exploding heads in them. I wonder why. That decade was especially ridden with nuclear angst and threats, triggered by the escalating Cold War and the Chernobyl incident. Maybe that's why people in the 1980's wanted to see heads exploding in ze movies more than ever?

@Hepocles what do you think?

Re: Exploding heads!

Re: Exploding heads!

i am a motherless child tho technically, and by my own decision. but i'd rather have no mother and my life back than no self-determined life at all, right? if i hadnt broken with her, i'd still be the exploited, emotionally blackmailed, psychologically manipulated, remote controlled daughter of a heartless cunt i wanted to not be anymore, so i'm better off being a "motherless hun" now than anything i've been before. it is what it is..

Lol i said more now than i actually originally wanted, as always lol i just wanted to say that it's ok, i'm fine now, it just hurted in the first moment reading "motherless" bc that word has such a sad, tragic connotation. Jesus was a motherless child. he chose to be it for mankind's sake and to be able to die for all our sins.

i'm the new messiah, ur modern day female Jesus, but i don't die for ur sins, i live through ur sins.

Praise be! Praise me!

🙏✟🌿

Re: Exploding heads!

Re: Exploding heads!

Thank you right back! Yeah the '80s was full of exploding heads. Like you said a product of the times and maybe advances in special effects.
Theres a lot I can't find gifs for, or even pics for and some I can't remember the film name to find a gif. Might have to expand to extreme head injuries…
So heres Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991) An insane film and insanely violent.

Re: Exploding heads!

Ew i'm gonna have to watch this one, too then! 😐

It reminded me of The Mountain smashing the head of Oberyn Martell (The Red Viper) in Game of Thrones, so i looked for gifs of that particular shot and found many but they really all look disturbing bc of how real the head smash looks.

It's not actually an exploding head, more like a bursting one, but eewww, poor Oberyn… these look so horrible.. i can't even properly look at them.. 😨



Re: Exploding heads!

Nice! Thats nasty.
Time to expand to head crushes.
The Fly 2 (1989)

Re: Exploding heads!
