Fantastic Fest’s life-defying clip show returns from the grave with a dazzling onslaught-er of the finest chills, shrills, and kills in a presentation you never wanted to see, but won’t be able to look away from! 100 Best Kills dates back to the earliest days of Fantastic Fest, a cornerstone of the fest’s grand tradition of lowbrow pandemonium. In previous years, we’ve focused our knee-slapping man-reaping sights on everything from vehicular mayhem to gut-busting infanticide.
