It's got to be Clayton. But Shan-Yu's a close second. I mean, did you see the look on his face as that rocket was about to explode? Guy was terrified!

I love Clayton's death. It was great. I was surprised that Disney made him die like that...but it was unique.

I like Frollo's death a lot too. He's standing on a gargoyle saying "And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the firy pit!!" Then he falls to his death into molten lead. How ironic.

Well before that the gargoyle awakens and evilly grins at him.

I always thought the witch was the scariest when I was little. I shut my eyes during those parts of the Snow White ride b/c I was so scared. But now it's hard for me to look at her and not laugh. Though evil, the queen was pretty silly as a witch.

I thought the creepiest and most distrubing Disney villain death had to be from Atlantis (white so not to ruin part of the ending for those who have not seen it or those who refuse to believe it is a good movie and refuse to see it):

First of all, you don't realize for a long time into the movie that Rourke and some of Milo's new "friends" are the villains. Second, being stabbed with an Atlantean crystal and having the power spread through your blood vessels and then becoming a terrifying crystalline blue monster born from greed is certainly quite creepy.

There was an amazing, very chilling scene of the Beast snapping a wolf's neck at the storyboard phase- boarded by Glen Keane- but after all these years I don't remember if it made the film or not. I'd be surprised if it did. I think at the moment of the "snap" it was seen from a close-up reflection in Belle's eye...

Of course, the death of Bambi's mother was also storyboarded to happen on-screen.

Frollo's death was very much a metaphor, he basically plummet's into hell

Clayton's was enchanting as it was his own fault

Wicked Queen's was creepy with those vultures

Clayton for his silhouette.
Scar for being eaten.
Ursula for being impaled.
Nuka's must have been the saddest though.

The funny thing is that most Disney villians die from falling or something like that.

Also like I wrote at the beginning of the thread, I think the Horned King's death is most horrifying because not only was the life sucked out of him, his skin came off (I dont know if he was a skeleton to begin with, but anywho...). The thing about it is that he actually suffered a long & painful death, unlike most other villians, who usually die much quicker. It was pretty scary, especially for a Disney film.

Most Disney villians die from a fall. It's the easiest way to kill them off, without showing bloody and gore to the kiddies

maybe is the fall of evil in front of the power of goodness

yeah, Nuka´s death was very sad, I mean, he wasn´t so bad at all, I mean, he only wanted to make something right to be loved and yes, kill Simba wasn´t the best option, but it was something that would assure him his mother love(or that´s what he thought because Zira always loved him, too bad she didn´t noticed until he was almost dead)

Mine would be


Clayton

Ursula

Scar

The Queen

Shan-Yu

Maleficent

I didn't find any of them scary but they all had awsome death scenes. The Horned King's was pretty strange.

For me, I think the most Violent Death and Disturbing scene if a villain is in The Little Mermaid Ursula's death.

Not only does she get impaled by a giant ship splinter and it goes right through and catches a bolt of lightning, and its in water. Yeah pretty painful lol. Plus her lackey's flotsam and jetsam were zapped into pieces by the Trident.

I think another disturbing death is Tarzan when Clayton get's hanged. It would have been over the top had they shown it.

My top 3
1. Clayton
2. The Queen
3. Gaston

Of course, the hyena's were very picky and skinned him first seeing as his skin shows up a few years later in Hercules.

The only death scenes that really stand out in my mind are:

1. Queen Grimhilde

2. Clayton

3. Scar

4. Ursula

To me, Queen Grimhilde's is the most disturbing because of her scream. If the original ending for The Little Mermaid had been used (the one where Ursula attempts to drown Eric and then he stabs her with the Trident; the scream was scary ), I might've found it more terrifying than I did.

I mentioned this in a thread in the Polls and Games section, but Frollo's death sequence really chilled me the first time I saw it (that evil gargoyle's coming to life had a lot to do with it), and I think it marked the first time that a Disney villian's demise ever got to me. Having studied the scene a bit more carefully since, it no longer strikes me as being frightening so much as it is harrowing. I certainly don't see his death as a metaphor for "plummetting to hell", but rather a further reflection of his increasing loss of his mind (which we see a lot of during the latter half of the film).

If you watch the individual actions leading up to it closely, it becomes evident that Frollo sowed the seeds of his own demise through his ruthless sword-wielding...there is a brief close-up shot which quite clearly shows his weaponing entering that particular gargoyle, weakening it, so that when, one dramatic confrontation later, he leaps upon it, it is unable to hold his weight and gives way (not as a result of the Cathedral itself "conspiring" against him, as I'd originally assumed). The gargoyle's "coming to life" doesn't strike me as being especially different from the delusions he'd previously experienced during the "Hellfire" song sequence, only with more intensity given his current situation. He then falls to his highly ironic death (in light of his final words to Quasi and Esmerelda) in the molten lead below...and thus dies by exactly the same means as he does in the original Victor Hugo novel, though in a somewhat different context.

Other than that, I can't say I found many Disney villian deaths to be especially disturbing, even as a kid, though the evil Queen's death in Snow White did strike me as a little macabre, simply for the way they had that large boulder tumble off the mountain after her, presumably pulverising her the instant she'd hit the ground, just in case the fall itself didn't manage to finish her off. And, on the odd chance that we needed any further indication she had well and truly kicked the bucket, they had those two vultures fly down in her direction...grim.

As for Scar, I kind of liked the way they let the hyena's have their own mini-victory...all they really wanted was fresh meat after all.

For me, the Horned King will always have the most frightening death. My friend had nightmares when we first watched the movie.

However, Frollo and Ursula are up there, and the scene right before Ratigan attacks Basil and loses any trace of his former composition is still pretty chilling.

claytons was the creepiest...but how can you not cry when poor bambi is orphaned

My pick would probably be the death of the Horned King in the Black Cauldron. The film may not be the best Disney animated film, but that death scene was pretty gruesome if you ask me.

I agree with you, the horned king's death is probably the most scary, but I also like Maleficient Dragon's death! When I was a child it was terrifying!

My top 3 creepiest deaths

1.The Queen
2.Ursula
3.Scar
