This Year’s Best Kills That Didn’t Take Home The Chainsaw Award

With this year’s Chainsaw Awards in the bag, we saw plenty of brilliant filmmakers take home the most coveted award in horror, as voted by you, the FANGORIA readers. But the biggest award of the year, Best Kill, is always a write-in, letting you, our dear readers, tell us what impressed you the most on the big screen in the last year. 

Since the category is always a write-in, we only ever announce the winner during the awards, rather than the many contenders for the big award of the night — we received countless votes recounting your favorite bloody, vicious, and totally killer horror movie deaths from the last year, but unfortunately, only one can win. (Congrats to the folks behind Terrifier 3, by the way!) But, since you lovely readers are always curious about what ends up in the mix, and we at FANGORIA love to celebrate all things horror, not just the big winners, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite submissions for this year’s category, as written in by you, our lovely audience. 

Without further ado, here are some of YOUR favorite kills of the year that didn’t quite make the cut! (Spoilers incoming, obvs.)
