The umbrella... Definitely an item you don't see as a murder weapon frequently in horror movies![/caption]You know we all know the standard tools that killers use in horror movies, I mean Jason has his Machete, Freddy has his glove, and even Michael Myers has his kitchen knife... So I thought that I would mention, '5 Uncommon Killer Weapons In Horror Movies'....
Now before I go on, I will say that each one of these have been in more then 1 horror movie, but tend to be seen in less horror movies then you might think!
With that in mind, lets get stared...
At number 5: Garden Shears.

The new killer in Crystal Lake is trying out some new instruments of destruction![/caption]Now this one I have found in my travels to be a little more common, but still this one is quite cool, from it's use by, 'Fake Jason' in Friday The 13th: A New Beginning (1985), to gouge out horny teens eyes, to it being Cropsey's weapon of choice in, The Burning (1982), this item has been one of the more unusual choices for weaponry in horror movies, but it definitely has it's place in the annals of horror movie history!
At number 4: A Drill.

This guy is so good with both the, 'drill' and the, 'guitar' that he decided to show a group teens at a slumber party his, 'killer style'![/caption]This one is fairly common in the one time kill category, but I thought that I would mention this one because, the drill was made famous as the popular way that the, 'Driller Killer' used to kill people in the, 'Slumber Party Massacre' series, and real briefly in the, 'Sorority House Massacre' series, (both by the way are awesome slasher film series that were produced by Roger Corman!)
At number 3: A Ruler.

Chucky has decided to take educational tools in a new direction![/caption]This one is real rare... I mean I have personally only seen this once, and that was in Child's Play 2 (1990), when Chucky beats Andy's school teacher to death with it after Andy leaves!
At number 2: A Corn Row.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="620"]
This is one corn field that doesn't want people picking it's corn![/caption]You don't see that to often, but it is kind of a unique way to kill people that was first popularized in the, 'Children Of The Corn' movie series, and remains one of the reasons in my opinion that the, 'Children Of the Corn' series is still one of the better supernatural movie series of all time!
At number 1: Ice Cream Cone.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400"]
This guy is serving up a little more then just his customary, 'Mint Chocolate Chip'![/caption]This one is one of the more interesting ones, you see, this one was popularized by the brief but popular 90s horror movie series, 'The Ice Cream Man' and is still one of the most unique ways to kill people in a horror movie that I have seen to date!
In the end, in the history of the horror film, there has been quite a few ways killers have killed people in these films, but these are definitely some of the more unique ways I have seen of it being done, and definitely helped set the tone for the series that they would eventually produce!
