What are some of the best meanstreaks/killstreaks you've seen in Horror films?

In case you don't know, those things are when a VERY large portion of the cast is killed in the period of 5-10 minutes with very little time between kills.



Some favorites of mine:

The seven deaths in the last 20 minutes of Dawn Of The Dead '04, ESPECIALLY the last 7 minutes which had the deaths of FIVE characters.

Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter - All eight main 'teens', Mrs. Jarvis and Rob are all wiped out in the period of 28 minutes, with most of them dying in the period of 8 minutes.

Assault On Precinct 13 (2005) - Not a Horror meanstreak but still worth mentioning. Four characters killed in the period of under four minutes. Yikes!



So yeah, what are some of your favorites? (thumbsup)

Assault On Precinct 13 (2005) stood out quite well. So did the original (1976).

Final Chapter of course!

I gotta think about some more.

I realized a lot of kill streaks now in modern slashers tend to happen toward the beginning of the film rather than towards the end(My Bloody Valentine '09, Friday '09 ect).

Another thumbs up for the killstreak at the beginning of the My Bloody Valentine remake.

A pick of mine would be the scene in Dead Set where everything just up and goes to hell. And, of course, the third act of The Cabin in the Woods.

Yeah Final Chapter defo

But has to be Dream Warriors for me.

for me I don't think that can be bettered.

Taryn, Will, Lt Thompson, Nancy then Freddy that literally is in the space of 10-15 mins

and the fact they killed off 3 of the characters from the original and 3 of the biggest characters in the franchise in a matter of 5 mins I don't think has ever been done in another film before.

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - Revenge streak toward the end with 6 or 7 of the deformed crazies being taken down.


Saw VI - Debbie, four carousel people, and three detectives all dying in the space of sixteen minutes. Woah!


The Collection - Club sequence, if that counts.

Forgot The Collection. The rest of the movie was kind of forgettable for me, but I'll never forget that absolutely balls-out nightclub sequence at the beginning.
