A video roundup posted by Tasty Husbands on Instagram highlights a sequence of Michael Myers finishers, including a victim’s head forced through a television, a throat crushed by a barbell, a car dropped onto someone, a head smashed with a refrigerator door, and a face introduced to a running table saw. The clip also shows other brutal set-pieces such as a toppled motorcycle topper, a victim placed in a fire pit with a heated knife, faces on hot stove burners, bodies suspended from hooks in a Texas Chain Saw Massacre-inspired display, a stand mixer struck against a head, multiple knife stabs to a single victim, and a balcony throw.
