  • 31 Days of Horror: Terrible Tuesday Way to Die (SAW Franchise)

    The first installment of this piece on movie death scenes focuses on a rather brutal franchise...

    October 2, 2012

    This part of the 31 Days of Horror series at The Awards Circuit won’t be for the faint of heart. This is going to be a weekly segment on the “best” horror movie deaths. To start of with a bang, so to speak, I’m opting to highlight a trap from each of the 7 Saw movies. Obviously, this is pretty gruesome stuff, but I figure go big or go home here, though there is a survivor or two to be found in the videos to follow. Yes, I’m a Saw apologist, but I won’t pretend that they’re high art or anything, and in the weeks to come I’ll try to go a little more upscale with my picks. Anyway, after the jump you can see a trap/death from each film in the franchise. Warning, they get progressively more violent, so consider this extremely Not Safe For Work. Also, there are spoilers to be found in terms of events in the franchise, but I’m not especially sure anyone care about that part of the scenes. If your stomach is strong enough, take a gander at these Terrible Tuesday Ways to Die below.

    About Joey Magidson


    When he’s not obsessing over new Oscar predictions on a weekly basis, Joey is seeing between 200 and 300 movies a year. He views the best in order to properly analyze the awards race/season each year, but he also watches the worst for reasons he mostly sums up as "so you all don't have to". In his spare time, you can usually find him complaining about the Jets or the Mets. Still, he lives and dies by film. Joey's a voting member of the Internet Film Critics Association as well. Today the IFCA, tomorrow the world!

    1. Gross. That third one might be the worst. I am a fan of the first movie. And I have seen the second, but I couldn’t go past that.

      • They go downhill but still remain solid in their own way, though #6 is a surprisingly good satire of the health care debate…

    2. I have seen all of them and enjoy them mightily. Of course they’re not Oscar-worthy by any means, but I just love the fact that they are all so inter-connected even if they are ludicrous. It doesn’t pander to the uninitiated which I am a fan of.

      And besides, the first one is honestly one of the most influential horror pics of the millennium.

    3. I love the Saw films and have watched the entire franchise numerous times, but I can never bring myself to rewatch that trap from Saw III posted, the rack. There’s just something about it that I can’t put my finger on, maybe because when watching it again you know there is no hope of escape for that poor man (even if he did kill Jeff’s son, Dylan). Greatest horror franchise in movie history in my opinion.
