Ranking My Top 10 Favorite
Exploding Head Scenes

This may seem sadistic to all the normies out there but to us horror fans nothing beats a good exploding head scene.

This was kinda hard to rank because the top five were all so good. Let me know if I& #39;ve missed any.
#10 Child& #39;s Play 2 (Chucky)

I wasn& #39;t sure if this exploding head counted because it happens to a doll but it& #39;s great and I make the rules so here it sits at #10

Just before his head pops he kinda looks like a Garbage Pale Kid.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

It always makes me laugh.
#9 Halloween 6 (John Strode)

Well this is probably one of the only good things I can say about Halloween 6: The Cure of Michael Myers.

Originally it wasn& #39;t meant to explode but the producers said they needed to up the gore.

John Strode was a major dick so it was satisfying.
#8 Seven Psychopaths (Charlie)

I haven& #39;t seen this movie but I& #39;ve seen this head pop several times in clips.

It& #39;s a nice kill. First Woody Haralson gets an arrow shot through his neck and then blam! Head matter goes a flying.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
#7 Planet Terror (Abby)

Here& #39;s another nice head pop in the Grindhouse film Planet Terror.

I thought this movie was so so but this was a nice kill.
#6 The Prowler (George Fraser)

Now this is how you take out the killer in a slasher.

This one was done by horror legend Tom Savini so of course it glorious.

Expect to see more from Savini on this list.
#5 Dawn of the Dead (projects man)

Here& #39;s one from my favorite zombie film and the second head explosion done by Tom Savini.

This kill set the tone for what was to come.

Wanna have a laugh? Check out what the dummy looks like before he is shot. It& #39;s so bad.
#4 Chopping Mall (Leslie)

This one takes me back to when I was a wee lad.

This time the kill is delivered by security robots run amock.

I do find it funny that it zaps her a couple time in the back and butt and nothing really happens.

I guess you gotta hit that sweet spot.
#3 Deadly Friend (Elvira)

This is one that I saw countless times on HBO when I was a kid.

This head pop comes via a basketball which is rather original.

But it doesn& #39;t stop there. After said head explosion the body stumbles around for a bit, bumping into walls. Fantastic!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
#2 Maniac (Disco boy)

Here& #39;s another fantastic headshot this time done by special effects master Tom Savini.

Tom was so lucky to get to make his own head explode.

It& #39;s been stated that they used leftovers from lunch to fill the head. Pretty cool. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
#1 Scanners (first scanner)

And sitting at number one is the most famous head exploding scene ever filmed.

I& #39;m not a huge fan of this film but the gore effects are outstanding and stand the test of time.

Just seeing this image makes me want to re-watch this.
