Too much gore is never enough

There are a TON of great gore fests in so many slasher flicks, it's really hard to recount. But I will accept Tilam's kudos and say that "Yes, Virginia, slasher and gore flicks are among my favs". So, in response to T-Dub's offering, I respond with only a smattering of Thew's high quality gory scenes (and btw all you single men out there, keep in mind the way to T-Dub's heart is through blood and entrails!):

Evil Dead - tree meets woman, tree ties woman down, tree screws woman, tree smokes cigarette
Scanners - man's head blows up like Gallagher's Watermelon trick.
Faces of Death - man gets electrocuted, close up of face being fried, eyeballs popping
The Gates of Hell - man meets angry father - angry father introduces man to large drill - gives new meaning to the expression "in one ear and out the other"
Thirteen Ghosts - sleazy lawyer friend gets a nasty little cut from some sliding glass doors (it’ll make you think twice the next time you step through automatic doors)
Robocop - man meets nuclear waste, man starts to dissolve, man gets run over by head bad guy, head bad guy turns on windshield wipers
Blade II - vampire bad guy attacks blade with sword, blade takes it and slices vampire bad guy from bottom to top - just cuz Wesley Snipes is so damm cool as Blade
Cube - In the very first scene of this cult hit, a man named has the misfortune of stepping into a razor wire trap and getting “cubed". VERY COOL
American Werewolf in London - dog bites man, man transforms - I remember watching this scene all slack-jawed in wonder and awe - amongst the best of all time
Alien - dude meets face-hugger, face-hugger impregnates dude, dude gives birth - all at the dinner table!

A couple of honorable mentions:
Exorcist - possessed girl stabs privates with scissors, forces mother's face up close and personal
Nightmare on Elm Street - hottie blond bimbo falls asleep, gets cut up like a cuisinart, blood trails all up the walls and on the ceiling
