Thursday's Ways Not To Die

.

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

Bam, Ted Raimi goes down. Bam!

I wasn't a huge fan when I finally got to see Ryûhei Kitamura's (director of the wonderfully insane Versus) take on Clive Barker's classic horror tale, but I do remember my jaw dropping at this delightfully gruesome moment. Made all the better by it being Sam Raimi's awesome brother Ted getting the business end of Mahogany's meat hammer, of course. Ted! Ted go down!
