Horror films and controversy often go hand in hand.
Historically, no genre has pushed the boundaries of what is acceptable onscreen as much as horror, with authorities like the MPAA and the BBFC constantly stepping in to protect filmgoers from extreme content.Controversies abound in horror, with countless examples of censorship, intrusive cuts, or outright bans.
Other times, films can provoke a visceral reaction from the audience; “Audition” prompted people to faint in the initial screenings, for example, while “The Exorcist” gained everlasting notoriety for the apparent hysteria it caused in cinemas.Rather than a comprehensive list, this represents a broad spread of different types of controversial deaths in horror films.
