Larry Drake in Dr. Giggles
Larry Drake (1950 - 2016)
Film Deaths
- Darkman (1990) [Robert G. Durant]: Seemingly killed in a helicopter crash/explosion (along with his cohorts) after it hits a bridge, when Liam Neeson chains it to a big rig. (While the character was brought back for the 1994 sequel Darkman II: The Return of Durant (1995), it seems clear that this was originally intended as a genuine death scene.)
- Dr. Giggles (1992) [Doctor Evan Rendell/Dr.Giggles]: Impaled in the stomach/torso and chest with his own home made surgical tools by Holly Marie Combs after first being electrocuted with a defibrillator (on top of being badly burned in a fire). He dies after talking to her (Drakeās face was covered with burn make-up at this point in the movie).
- Darkman II: The Return of Durant (1995) [Robert G. Durant]: Killed in an explosion when Arnold Vosloo detonates a remote-controlled robotic "rat" underneath Larry's limo (after locking him in his vehicle).
- Desert Heat (Inferno) (1999) [Ramsey Hogan]: Neck snapped (after being strangled at the end of a fight) by one of his own sons (David 'Shark' Fralick/Silas Weir Mitchell), he dies whilst being held by his youngest son (Jonathan Avildsen).
- Dark Asylum (2001) [The Trasher]: Killed in an explosion after Paulina Porizkova kicks Larry off a sewer ledge, causing him to land next to a bomb.
- Pathology (2008) [Fat Bastard]: Asphyxiated/frozen to death when Lauren Lee Smith tricks him into inhaling liquid nitrogen, which he thinks is a drug. His body is first shown in the morgue as the other doctors examine him, and his death is shown in a flashback as they figure out what happened.
TV Deaths
- Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981 TV) [Bubba Ritter]: Shot to death by a lynch mob; he later comes back to life (by posessing a scarecrow) to avenge his murder.
- Tales from the Crypt: The Secret (1990) [Tobias]: Throat torn out/open by either Grace Zabriskie or William Frankfather after they catch him trying to escape with Mike Simmrin. His body is later seen when Simmrin looks up to see him slumped over a banister.
