Best Decapitations

What are some of your favorite decapitations from a horror movie?

Mine's a tie...

The Omen - David Warner gets it by a sheet of glass. For its time, this just amazed me and was very well thought out.

Wrong Turn - Although not exactly a decapitation, this is one of the most brilliant film deaths in the history of horror movies. From the moment the axe hit the young woman in the face, to the head sitting on the axe and the body toppling over tree branches to the floor below, I was just astonished. Great scene.

So what's yours?

I'M NOT SURE IF IT COUNTS AS A DECAPITATION SEEING AS THOUGH HER HEAD DID'NT COMPLETELY COME OFF BUT WRONG TURN WHEN THEY WERE UP IN THE TREE AND THAT CLASSIC THEATER MOMENT WHEN SHE'S STANDING THERE AND HE POPS UP ON THE SIDE OF HER AND THEN HITS HER WITH THE AXE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FACE AND THEN THE BODY RIPS APART FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD.

ya i know it was the emt's head, but when i saw it the first time i didnt know that and i was devistated. i thought that would be the last halloween movie. thats y its my favorite decapation, its not only twisted (when you thought that was michael and he was reaching for his sister and she chops his head off he was showing affection and she killed him) but seemed like the end of a great series especially because it was about 5 years maybe? before they made another halloween movie

The scene in "Idle Hands" where Anton's friend is running up the basement stairs... Anton picks up a sawblade and frisbees it at him while his friend is yelling "come on Anton, everything's gonna be..." then the sawblade slices through his neck, his head bounces down the stairs, and when it lands, his head says "cool"...A little later in the movie they get tired of watching him carry his head around so they jab a two-tined fork in it, shove the other end of the fork into his throat, and wind duct tape around his neck to keep stuff (like his burrito filling) from seeping out!!!

wrong turn for sure (although i think they should have left in the blink, if you dont know what I'm talkin about rent the dvd)
day of the dead shovel. that shit was fucking dope.
legend of sleepy hollow. where the farmer fights the horseman and get his head chooped off next to the mantel piece. good twin axe choreography. though that film is full of great head lopping.
most cinematic decap goes to braveheart. at the end. fucking powerful.

I LOVE that shovel decapitation! I also like the one in Day Of The Dead where that guy gets his head slowly ripped off by some zombies, and you can hear his vocal chordes stretching...great scene.
