Line 80:
* ''[[Narutaru]]'' has a fair few of these. Let's put it this way: getting impaled through the chest with a broken plane strut is one of the ''nicer'' ways to die in this series.
** {{spoiler|Norio}}. Dear god, {{spoiler|Norio...}}
* ''[[Baccano!]]''. [[Ax Crazy|Claire]] [[Heroic Sociopath|Stanfield]], angry and [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique|in need of information]]. [[Smug Snake]] [[Mook]]. [[What a Drag|Railroad tracks]]. ''[[Gorn|Yuck]]''.
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', the first Greed dies in a vat of molten metal. [[Go Out with a Smile|Laughing]] hysterically.
** Scar's trademark [[Face Palm of Doom]].

== Literature ==
* In ''The Cone'', by [[H. G. Wells]], a man gets deliberately roasted to death by being thrown onto the top of a blast furnace. Don't read it if you're the slightest bit squeamish. You're welcome.
* In the original draft of [[Stephen King]]'s ''[['Salem's Lot]]'', Doctor Jimmy Cody is eaten alive by a horde of rats. The book's editor convinced King that it went too far, so he replaced it with a scene in which the doctor falls into a booby trap made of butcher knives that have been driven through a table. When the book was rereleased as a "10th Anniversary Edition", he (King) made sure the original scene was restored to the story.
*** The [[Film of the Book|2004 TV movie]] has him fall onto ''a running table saw''. '''''Tzzzzzing!'''''
** In ''[[IT]]'', Patrick Hockstetter recieves what is quite possibly the most horrific death in the whole book. He is killed by the titular [[Big Bad]], who has taken the form of what can only be described as giant, flying leeches who possess ''extremely'' large and ''extremely'' sharp proboscises, which proceed to completely swamp him and almost completely drain him of his blood. It's made even ''worse'' by the fact that one of them ''penetrates his eyelid'' and [[Eye Scream|utterly destroys his eyeball]], and another lands his his mouth and ''drains all the blood from his tongue''. He eventually dies after fainting, being dragged away to Its lair, and then being devoured alive when he awakens.
