* Done twice in Disney's ''[[The Haunted Mansion (film)|The Haunted Mansion]]'' with poison being put into goblets of wine.
* In ''[[Ghost Ship (2002 film)||Ghost Ship]]'' there's a flashback comprised of a montage of images of what occurred on the ocean liner. During this there's a scene in the kitchen where cooks are putting rat poison in food. We then see passengers eating the food and one person vomits as a result.
* The horror movie ''[[Night of the Demons]]'' features a mean old man who puts razor blades in apples on Halloween to do [[Moral Event Horizon|terrible things to children.]] At the end of the movie, {{spoiler|his wife makes an apple pie out of the leftover apples, which he eats. The blades slash through his throat and leave him dead.}}
* ''[[Murder By Death]]''. Lionel Twain arranges for one of the cups of wine served to the guests to have a tasteless, odorless [[Poison Is Corrosive|acidic poison]] in it. It turns out to be a subversion: Twain made sure the cup with the poisoned wine was served to the one guest who could identify it.
