Film Deaths[]
- The Contraption (1977) [The Man]: Commits suicide by placing his head on the trigger of the giant mousetrap he had built.
- Elvira's Haunted Hills (2001) [Lord Vladimere Hellsubus]: Sliced in half with his own pendulum axe device after he unknowingly falls onto the pedestal beneath it, after being blinded during a struggle with Heather Hopper; his bisected body is shown briefly when Cassandra Peterson and Gabi Andronache escape the dungeon.
- Night Train (2009) [Mrs. Froy]: Shot in the chest and head in a shoot-out with Togo Igawa on the train, as Danny Glover looks on in shock.
- Jackboots on Whitehall (2010) [Himmler]: Providing the voice of SS chief Heinrich Himmler ("animated" through puppetry), he is killed (along with Tom Wilkinson and Richard Griffiths) when Fiske (voiced by Dominic West) crashes his plane into the Hindenburg. (Obviously, this bears no resemblance to the historic facts.) (Played for comic effect.)
