Scanners, Vidoedrome, The Dead Zone,The Fly, Dead Ringers

I really liked all his 80s movies. Big fan.

Loved Scanners as a kid, I mean it featured the first exploding head in cinema. I videotaped that off HBO and used to replay that step by step.

After seeing Dead Ringers in the theater, I remember walking out thinking, ok, it's official, this guy is really wacked out.

Good to see him still going strong.

Dawn of the Dead '78 has an exploding head scene.

When I was a kid I saw Dawn of the Dead after Scanners, so I must have forgot that.

Even right now I can't place the scene. I've been meaning to buy the DVD for like 8 years now. Guess it's going to be Blu Ray.

It's during the beginning of the film and the SWAT team is going through the building. One of the team shoots one of the apartment resident's head with a shotgun.
