Film Deaths[]
- Someone's Watching Me! (1978) [Sophie]: Choked to death by George Skaff while Lauren Hutton is watching through a telescope.
- Escape from New York (1981) [Maggie]: Deliberately hit with a car by Isaac Hayes; her body is shown lying on the bridge immediately afterwards.
- Creepshow (1982) [Wilma Northrup]: Mauled to death by a monster (Darryl Ferrucci) after Hal Holbrook lures her to its lair. (There are also two earlier daydream sequences in which Hal shoots her in the head and strangles her with a necktie.)
- The Thing (1982) [Computer]: As the voice of a chess-playing computer, it's destroyed when Kurt Russell pours his drink into it.
- Swamp Thing (1982) [Alice Cable]: Stabbed in the chest with a sword by Louis Jourdan (in his monstrous form); she is later brought back by Dick Durock's healing powers. (It's arguable as to whether this constitutes an actual death scene or a "brink-of-death" scene, but since it's been suggested, I thought I'd go ahead and include it.) (Thanks to Redeemer)

- Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989) [Dr. Kurtz]: Commits suicide by plunging her face into piranha-filled waters. (Played for comic effect.) (Thanks to Jack and PortsGuy)
