I was thinking about weird murder weapons the other day while donating plasma. Once your plasma is donated, they freeze it until it's rock hard. Imagine a late night murder at the donation center and the murder weapon was a frozen bag of plasma. Blunt force trauma!

Or how about a pair of those ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors? Imagine getting killed with these.

Can you think of some weird murder weapons in movies? (Post pictures if you can)

The killer in Blood Hook uses a fishing rod with an oversized hook on it.
Those ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors were used in Prom Night 3.
How about the gigantic fish hook from The Mutilator?
I think it was Slumber Party Massacre 3 where a guy got impaled with a For Sale sign that was in front of a house.
It's not a movie, but in Roald Dahl's story "Lamb to the Slaughter," a woman kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb, which she then puts in the oven. When the police come, she serves the lamb to them.

Well, it did appear as an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0508189/
...eta: and 21 years later as an ep of "Tales of the Unexpected": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0717455/

The unicorn in Dr Phibes is my go-to classic wacky murder weapon:

Side Sho (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0965443/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) has a scene where one of the villains is brained with a pet turtle. Can't find any clips, sadly. Also, ignore the rating, this movie is great. :thumbup:

The film HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM opened with a woman being killed by a pair of spikes that were loaded into a set of binoculars; from what I've heard, this was based on an actual case.

Death by plastic boob asphyxiation in MOTHER'S DAY is the weirdest I've ever seen.
Choking somebody with ashes from an urn in Rouge River is probably the most original I've seen?

Live And Let Die. Yaphet Kotto go boom!
Flung alien pancake parasites in WITHOUT WARNING.

Death by suffocating on an arm (!) in JUST BEFORE DAWN.

This is one of my favourite bad movies. When my friend first told me about this film, I thought he was lying, or at least heavily exaggerating how bad it was. Later, we managed to rent it. I had to apologize to him since he was right all along.
Death from a tyre that has psychic powers. (Rubber)
Death from a Spoon, repeatedly hit. (The Incredibility Slow Murder with the Inefficient Weapon.)
There is a scene in "Cast a Deadly Spell" where someone is killed by thousands of bits of paper cutting them to pieces.
"Soul Vengeance" is about a man who uses his huge prehensile penis to strangle people.
"The Mutilator" also has an outboard motor used as a murder weapon.

Its fiberglass, so its defintely safer than the original in case of home invasion.

The film posted just above this post has an interesting--at least to me--plothole. As locusts are herbivores and not carnivores. The book, based upon the screenplay, got around the plothole by making ants the murder weapon. As some ants are carnivores.
Maybe dermestod beetles might be better.
