DeeFunked, on 02/29/2008, -2/+8Yeah the basketball is pretty gnarly, but I like Dead Ringers a whole lot. The pizza cutter is pretty decent as well, surprised that one hasn't been used more often.
- TheMangler, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4Dead Ringers made me feel so damn filthy. After watching it I felt like I needed to take an acid bath.
  - zeejay, on 02/29/2008, -3/+2Saw it at the theaters. Me and my girlfriend walked out after it was done, and didn't say a word to each other for about 20 minutes afterward - we were in a state of disbelief/shock. Now *that's* a good movie. :)
    
    Also, this list forgot a couple other great Cronenberg weapons - the gun/hand from Videodrome, and the human brain, from Scanners.
    - Stupidumb, on 02/29/2008, -3/+1Cool, you have a girlfriend! Now everyone knows! COOL!
- RustyJ, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1It's refreshing to know that there are others who appreciate the value of the word "gnarly"
yacks, on 02/29/2008, -3/+40"and this... is my boomstick!"
- SuperVepr308, on 02/29/2008, -1/+612-gauge double-barrell Remington...S-Mart's top of the line...it's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel...and a hair-trigger
  - Xondar, on 02/29/2008, -0/+3Shop smart, shop S-Mart... YOU GOT THAT!!
- SuperVepr308, on 03/03/2008, -0/+0now I swear...the next one of you primates so much as touches me...OK I got to quit! I could trade quotes from this movie forever and be a happy man:)
Scopitone, on 02/29/2008, -9/+5"OMGhorror" are you kidding me?
jpezzznuts, on 02/29/2008, -7/+3Uhhh... no, snowman is number one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f8_rpc3jmQ
- linuxpenguin, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2That's Jack Frost FYI. "Snowman". . . psh.
Archipod, on 02/29/2008, -0/+7I really, really did not want to be reminded of that scene from cannibal holocaust..:( but they left out the even worse mud ball he..inserts..into her
uziko, on 02/29/2008, -2/+5Wow, that is what saw is about? Dam i haven't seen it because i thought it would be stupid but wow I'm gonna have to watch that immediately.
- uziko, on 02/29/2008, -1/+4that image of the girl crying with all the needles just adds to the mental image
- GreenGrassyNoel, on 02/29/2008, -0/+7The first one is great, second one okay, third is desperate... haven't seen 4
  - Llanowar, on 02/29/2008, -0/+24, in my opinion, is better than 3. But that isn't saying much though.
- mizike, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1totally agree with greengrassynoel --> first one is great -- lowish budget but a fresh idea and decent acting; second is a different style than the first, moving more towards a typical horror movie, but still pretty good; third was a complete fiasco which maybe had one or two decent scenes; four was better than three, but that's not really saying much...
slvrbullet87, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4In High Tension I thought that the concrete saw was way more ***** up than the club, but thats just me... something about tearing through a car and spraying blood everywhere for about 30 seconds is just better.
RetlawST, on 02/29/2008, -0/+3Oh god! I haven't seen deadly friend in years! The basketball crushing a woman's head was one the coolest things I had seen at the tender age of 10.

::goes back to perfecting his basketball decapitation skills::
m0zzie, on 02/29/2008, -0/+7the lawnmower.. uh.. holy *****?
- diadem2, on 02/29/2008, -0/+13remember, this is the same guy who brought you Lord of the Rings and King Kong
  
  his real gems are classics like this
  - Viriatus2, on 02/29/2008, -1/+2I kick ass for the Lord!
mceggy, on 02/29/2008, -0/+11First detailed list that long I've seen on one page. My index finger thanks you.
dillweed33, on 02/29/2008, -2/+15"The 17 Greatest Horror Movie Weapons Ever". Why 17? Because 18 would of been excessive!
- emalen, on 02/29/2008, -2/+5have
pixelguru, on 02/29/2008, -3/+7Some in this list belong on the list of "strangest" horror movie weapons, not "greatest".
No multi-shotgun from Phantasm?
How about the propane bomb in Dawn of the Living Dead that wasted half-a-block of zombies?
What about the laser security system from Resident Evil that cubes the guy.
- JAGUART, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2Speaking of Phantasm, what about those damned 'Sentinel Spheres"?
- MacPh1st0, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4If you're going to add the laser security system from Resident Evil, then you might as well add the razor wire net booby trap from The Cube that also "cubed" that one poor unfortunate person.
  - zoomix, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1Those Phantasm spheres scared the BeJesus outta me as a kid..
  - Serapthi, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4I think the cube itself counted as a horror movie "weapon."
    - tektalk, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1Cube was awesome, Cube2 on the other hand, was really ***** up,and a 11/2 hour waste of my time.
  - Xondar, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2The Resident Evil cubed scene was clearly stolen from Cube in the first place.
- Aneurhythmia, on 02/29/2008, -0/+0Overlooking this thing is criminal:
  http://www.toxicshock.tv/interviews/reggiebanniste ...
- Vanor, on 03/01/2008, -0/+0Reggie's four-barrelled shotgun ***** YEAH!!!
CaptainMcNerd, on 02/29/2008, -0/+8Dugg for #5 and #1. Hail to the king, baby!
hasslinthehoff, on 02/29/2008, -0/+6Damn clowns...
- Snuff99, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1That movie scared the sh*t out of me. Still does to be honest.
shyboy2008, on 02/29/2008, -2/+4i know No Country for Old Men isnt a horror movie, but the weapon the serial killer had was awesome.
cli006, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2What a sweet list, so when did Texas Chain Saw become so ridiculous? I thought only gangstas rocked the gold plated equipment.
Stuart.n, on 02/29/2008, -0/+12Groovy
dhVyse, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1Suprisingly good read.
artwithbyte, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4I like how the naked lady from Scythe has Kuato coming out of her right boob. "Open your mind, Quade. Open your mind."
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/29/2008, -1/+1Start the reactor!
skellener, on 02/29/2008, -1/+16Dugg for "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"
- deltron, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2Same.
punkrockscks, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1Sadly, I actually own a copy of "the deadly friend"... ugh...
damndj, on 02/29/2008, -2/+2Sorry, Freddy's hands are the best for me.
blinker265, on 02/29/2008, -1/+2the machine gun leg from grindhouse should have been on this list...that was badass
Xanrez, on 02/29/2008, -2/+14Dugg for the single greatest movie of all time getting the nod at #1. Gimmie some sugar, Baby.
kmb1794, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2I actually like this list.
Wavemancali, on 02/29/2008, -0/+19Jason X ( Jason in space) they have a holodeck type of environment to try and distract him for a while while they run away. He encounters 2 scantily clad cheerleader types in a recreation of the original camp from Friday the 13th. Jason takes one of the cheerleader types in her sleeping bag and uses that to beat the other scantily clad cheerleader to death.

How could this not make the list?
Kendralee5, on 02/29/2008, -0/+3You forgot about the Really Huge Band-Aid in Dr. Giggles. Now that was a weird way to die!
mindsnare, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4Sif no wooden stake jackhammer from dusk till dawn, lame.
TheUngod, on 02/29/2008, -1/+4I'm surprised I didn't see anything from Battle Royale
bryannnnn, on 02/29/2008, -1/+14last time i clicked a greatest weapon link i got rick-rolled.....
stretta, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2Behold, the power of duct tape.

The double-double barrel shotgun from phantasm 2 was awesome, as was ripley's impromptu grenade launcher/flamethrower combo from Aliens
LastDitchHero, on 02/29/2008, -0/+0They forgot the water hose from I Drink Your Blood?
mogebier, on 02/29/2008, -0/+4I hadn't heard of most of those movies.
- leerayIG88, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1most of them are classic. go rent them!
gilgamesh23, on 02/29/2008, -0/+8#1
Ash...
Housewares.
hail to the king baby!
ninjan, on 02/29/2008, -2/+2I strongly disagree that #2: Stone Phallus is great. I'm just not into that kind of violence.
Jayeugene, on 02/29/2008, -0/+27Are you KIDDING me? Why isn't a Vinyl Record #1?

Ed: 'Purple Rain'?
Shaun: No.
Ed: 'Sign o' the Times'?
Shaun: Definitely not.
Ed: The 'Batman' soundtrack?
Shaun: Throw it.
Ed: 'Dire Straits'?
Shaun: Throw it.
Ed: Ooh, 'Stone Roses'.
Shaun: Um, No.
Ed: 'Second Coming'.
Shaun: I like it!
Ed: Ahhh! 'Sade'.
Shaun: Yeah, but that's Liz's!
Ed: Yeah, but she did dump you.
Shaun: Oh!
- JusticeFriend, on 02/29/2008, -10/+1Lame movie...
  - Price, on 02/29/2008, -0/+9Oh just ***** off. Shaun of the Dead was great. Not as good as your mum, but still...
  - JusticeFriend, on 03/01/2008, -2/+1Thank you for my mothers apreciation!
    But still a lame movie
trizzlelv, on 02/29/2008, -0/+3great article! I'd love to add the cow killing device from No Country for Old Men as a honorable nominee. Not a horror flick, but it's a great concept.
weyr, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1I am so glad Leprechaun was on that list :D

"This old Lep, He played one, he played pogo on his lung!"

I wish they mentioned his little car, that thing was awesome =D
isaactwito, on 02/29/2008, -2/+1FAILED. Has nobody seen any of the Slumber Party Massacre movies? I've seen the second one and all I can say is "drilltaur". That's drill + guitar, or a guitar with a huge ***** drill on the end. Check out the box art from the second movie: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm526294016/tt0093996
jello, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2I hope I'm not the only one that remembers the 1981 horror movie parody Student Bodies. "PAPERCLIP"
- forgottenPW, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1you are not alone
  - fredkreuger, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1I am here with you.
- DarthMalcontent, on 03/01/2008, -0/+1Horse head bookends
PitbullRaven, on 02/29/2008, -3/+1Although not a horror movie (unless you're a woman or a moron[just kidding]), I think we can all agree the ultimate weapon is actually the "Death Star".
- DarKnight90, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1The 17 Greatest Horror Movie Weapons Ever. Your a fag for bringing that up and thats coming from a big star wars fan.
SuperVepr308, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1How about Derek Vinyard's boot in American History X? That still gets me to this day...
moron, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2Come on, how could Halloween III not make the list? What's more odd/strange then Halloween Masks equipped with lasers to kill kids while watching TV?
socoolisme, on 02/29/2008, -1/+1Digg for cannibal Holocaust.
gharding, on 02/29/2008, -1/+2Should really watch Slumber Party Massacre 2. The killer serenades a bunch of girls with a guitar with a drill bit on the neck then kills them with it. Badassery.
sixthchild, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1Did anyone else notice that the High Tension clip had the same music from the end of 28 Days Later? Is it common for movies to share scores like this?
- Xondar, on 02/29/2008, -0/+2If the composer is the same for both movies, it happens quite often. For example, you can hear parts of the Star Trek II score in Aliens. James Horner recycled it because he said that James Cameron didn't give him enough time to write a full score.
leerayIG88, on 02/29/2008, -2/+1I'd like to watch #2: Stone Phallus. mmmm.
meeksthegeeks, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1No Phantasm 4 barrel shotgun!?
weeeezzll, on 02/29/2008, -0/+5Sawed off shotguns are cool, but Chainsawed off shotgun are in a whole different league...

Glad to see Killer Clowns got number 3. It's about time that movie got some recognition. "U.S.A. UP ALL NIGHT!!!!"
tdamore, on 02/29/2008, -1/+1 While I'll agree that some of these are good, others are just plain stupid. The glaring omission of the 4 barrel shotgun and the chrome plated orbs from the Phantasm series make this list fail
