Fail were torn off in horror movies.

I'd like to take his his face for this list.

We're looking at the grossest face ripping scenes in horror movie history though notable we won't be including face off or seven in this list in an attempt to stick as straight as we can to traditional horror cinema, there will be spoilers ahead.

Can you think of any we missed?

Let us know in the comments number 10 Rita, Dead Alive, A.

K.

A brain dead rita.

The graphic violence of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive may come as a shock to those who mainly know the director for his middle earth movies.

Old school fans know full well, Jackson's devilish sense of humor and that comes through big time in this 1992 splatter fest in just one of the gore soaked scenes of Dead alive, the unholy spawn of an undead coupling bursts forth from poor Rita's face in graphic detail.

The effects are still gruesome and disgusting to this day and believe it or not, there's a lot more where that came from with Dead Alive.

Number nine Barb, the deadly spawn, The deadly spawn is a neat creature feature from 1983, a gross out horror flick that relies heavily upon its excellent effects to deliver the thrills.

The face rip in question occurs relatively early on in the film when the protagonists parents Sam and Bob meet their ends at the sharp teeth of articular spawn.

Sam goes first and is devoured.

But Barb's death seems more protracted and painful as she loses her face to the creatures before being devoured by the smaller baby spawns in the basement arthur It's all extremely goopy, gross and disgusting and horror fans probably wouldn't want it any other way.

# eight Narcisse night breed, what did you say?

Shut up Clive barker isn't known as one of the masters of horror for nothing.

Night Breed is the first film of his to make an appearance on our list but spoiler alert, it won't be the last barker wrote and directed Night Breed as an adaptation of his novella cabal and it's one of his most imaginative works.

Narcisse is a member of the titular night breed who shows up early in the film, cryptically revealing to protagonist Aaron how to enter the monster realm of Midian.

What do you know about it?

They forgive you there, See they only take you with your worthy know what they do to those that aren't worthy.

Shortly afterwards, he shocks erin by violently removing the skin from his face before being overcome by authorities in the hospital.

First I have to show you.

That's how it works what my true face, that's what these are for number seven Freddy Krueger A nightmare on Elm Street.

The next encounter on our list may be short but it's also one of the most iconic scenes from the world of 19 eighties horror Tina Gray is built up at first to perhaps be the lead protagonist of Wes Craven's original, a nightmare on Elm Street, but audiences soon realized that nothing in Freddy Krueger's dream world is as it seems.

The child murderer is at his most intense and disturbing here as he torments poor Tina.

Although the young woman does attempt to fight back at one point, she even tears off Kruegers face, but it's to no avail as she's ruthlessly torn apart by Freddie in her nightmare.

Number six, Adam banjo, the devil's rejects.

Stop, stop.

I have just started the horror cinema of rob zombie is visceral, violent and unrepentantly sleazy evoking the spirit of 19 seventies new york and the grind houses of Times Square.

Want proof.

Well, how about zombies?

Decision to not only shoot one face ripping scene for one of his movies, but to the firefly Clan's first appearance in Zombie's house of 1000 corpses has a scene where killer Otis towards the victim with his father's severed face.

More gruesome.

Still was the encore for 2005.

The devil's rejects where Otis again does the deed to adam banjo, a musician whose band falls afoul of the fireflies, It's wince inducing stuff.

Number five, Sergeant jim Pembroke the Silence of the lambs dr Hannibal Lecter is no stranger to let's say facial reconstructive surgery, such as the time he narcotic lee induces mason verger into a state where he self inflict such damage fans of Lecter's second appearance on film are probably more familiar with his dramatic escape.

In 1991 Silence of the lambs Ready when you are sergeant here, Lecter played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, uses the face of a guard.

He attacks Sergeant Pembroke as a disguise to escape police custody.

This is only revealed when Pembroke slash Lecter emerges during an ambulance ride and causes more bloody carnage.

It's a shock.

Many movie goers never saw coming grandma seizure activity, but he's number four L.

G.

Peters the texas chainsaw massacre two, The original texas chainsaw massacre was loosely based upon the exploits of notorious Wisconsin serial killer Ed Geen.

Specifically the killer's penchant for grizzly flesh constructions throughout his home.

This texas chainsaw sequel from 86 continues in this vein to the point where Leatherface not only tears off a victim's face, but puts it to another different use.

This occurs when radio DJ stretch is being held captive by leatherface and the Sawyer family and leatherface decides to place her coworker LG's face over hers creating a horrible sight that we still remember to this day.

Trouble is, it's then revealed that the now faceless LG actually survived his initial attack at least temporarily.

Number three.

Edna Gruber Eyes without a face Who said slasher movies have all the fun horror fans in the know will likely point to this stylish and atmospheric thriller as an early example of transgressive horror within contemporary cinema and with good reason the plot of eyes without a face has been retrieved numerous times such as in 1988 with faceless directed by notorious exploitation.

Artur Jesus Franco.

We must make the incision as low as possible.

It's simple.

Really.

But oh so effective.

A surgeon is desperate to successfully transplant a human face onto his disfigured daughter.

It's a motive that turns into madness after young Edna Gruber is incapacitated by the doctor and has her face forcibly removed.

What's worse the transplant doesn't take meaning that Edna's disfigurement and later death was all for nothing.

Number two marty poltergeist.

It's arguably one of the scariest horror movie moments under the PG rating, we're talking about the O.

G.

Poltergeist from 1982 and a scene so graphic that almost put this steven Spielberg produced classic into R rated territory.

Mm hmm.

The flight occurs during a dream sequence when a paranormal investigator named marty is peering into the bathroom mirror.

We then see a terrifying hallucination culminating with the mirror's reflection of marty tearing off his own face.

The special effects are still fantastic and the hands that are doing the tearing actually belong to none other than Spielberg himself.

Before we name our number one pick.

Here are some honorable mentions, darry Jenner jeepers creepers.

Dari is missing something private robert Rickles Day of the Dead.

A bad day to be a soldier.

Seth Brundle.

The fly Brundle into Brundle fly Shane Charles play the gift that keeps on giving dr Julius life Lander basket case a new kind of malpractice.

# one Frank Cotton Hellraiser.

No, we had to hear it from your own lips.

This isn't for your eyes.

This is the face rip against which all other horror movie slashings are judged.

The creme de la creme of creepy grossness from the twisted mind of Clive barker?

To be honest.

Hell raisers.

Uncle frank was already creepy enough.

Played to the hilt by an through Robinson.

However, frank's comeuppance at the hands of the center Bytes is more than suitable as his face and body are torn apart by the extra dimensional creatures.

All while frank utters the immortal line not to be outdone barker's sequel.

Hell bound, brought back the other antagonists from the first film Julia basically doing a gender swap of the path taken by her departed lover frank.

It goes about as well as you'd expect.
