And a Gruesome Death It Was...

The Halloween season always helps us focus upon our interests of the macabre, the ghoulish and the grisly.

I know that I will spend a good portion of the season watching quite a few horror movies in which hapless victims meet their demise in what is usually quite a gory, blood filled state. The more movies I watch, the more I am starting to realize that Hollywood is running out of original ideas on how to kill off their characters. There's only so many buckets of fake blood, or even computer generated blood, that can be utilized that can still impress. In fact, you really don't need a lot of blood for a good old fashioned movie demise these days.

One film studio that has always delivered when it has come to dramatic deaths of their characters is the House of Mouse. Throughout the years Disney has dished out some nasty amounts of karmatic comeuppance for its villains of its animated, family friendly films.

After doing a little research on this subject, I've come across this video compilation posted by a YouTuber who obviously had the same thoughts of the darkness in Disney as I did.

For your viewing pleasure, here are a collection of Disney villains meeting an abrupt, and many times brutal ending.




There. Wasn't that just darkly scrumptious? We had some stabbing, some impaling, being dragged to hell, a hanging and quite a few falling to death from a great height.

Retake another gander at the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs falling to her death. Not only is it insinuated that the huge rock she is trying to dislodge falls down on top of her, it is also implied at that two hungry vultures descend down to the body to peck away at what is left of the old gal. How wonderfully morose. A lot of those princesses that little girls worship certainly earned their crowns off of the blood of others. Justly so, I suppose.

Let's leave these despicable masterminds to the abandonment of their mortal coils and do something a little more Halloween themed. I think another trip to a haunted attraction is just what the mad doctor ordered.

This time we're going to visit a wonderful little location near Atlanta called The Netherworld. This is from their walk through from 2009.



I love it when a haunt has a pre-show and a bit of a storyline as well.

I've got to get going as I'm going over to my sister's place to help put up Halloween decorations with the help of my my niece, "Lil' G". So that will be it for now. But keep you eyes open here for more Halloween themed posts!

I'm outta here like a Disney villain.
