Film Deaths[edit | edit source]

Night of the Creeps (1986) [Young Scientist]: Throat ripped out by a possessed Ivan E. Roth (after Ivan is defrosted by Jason Lively and Steve Marshall). His body is later seen as police investigate then in a morgue, he later returns from the dead after being possessed by one of the creeps high jacking his body. He once again dies when the slugs burst out of his head off-screen and his body is later shown.
Heart and Souls (1993) [Hal the Bus Driver]: Killed in a bus crash (along with Charles Grodin, Kyra Sedgwick, Tom Sizemore, and Alfre Woodard); he periodically appears as a spirit later in the movie.
