Bloodthirsty gorehounds praise the greatest massacres horror has to offer

Horror fans can't get enough of these blood-soaked massacre moments.

From gore-fest gatherings at the hands of twisted villain Jigsaw to a fiery explosion inside of a building full of civilians, the colossal horror genre is swarming with disastrous moments that feature unfathomable massacres in movies. And while some of these massacre moments are definitely more in-your-face than others, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t included on a long list of favorites as far as bloodthirsty horror fans are concerned.

The discussion of these massacres initially kickstarted on the r/horror subreddit, where user u/baldanderrod encouraged fellow Reddit gorehounds to share some of their favorite massacre scenes in horror movies while simultaneously listing a handful of their own delectable picks.

In typical horror fans fashion, commenters immediately sought to congregate in the thread in regards to the appealing topic — with many users refusing to shy away from some of the wildest selections in the genre.

One user brought some serious ‘00s nostalgia by offering up their choice as the iconic cornfield scene in the horror crossover Freddy vs. Jason.
