The Most Horrible Deaths In the Hunger Games

The Top Ten
1 Glimmer

Ugh... Tracker jackers... I imagined her all bloody and gory with green poison leaking out of her body and her guts ripped out when reading the book. They made her suffer less in the movie.

Okay. Glimmer called for help. She died painfully alone. Yes, if I were there, I would run away. That's me. I wouldn't help someone who was dying like that. I'd run for the lake - no thank you, universe. I don't feel like sacrificing my life for someone who I might have to kill anyway, or they will kill me. Yes, I'm pretty selfish. In fact, I might have said, "See you! Don't want to die. Try your best, Glimmer! I'm sure you'll make it!" No. She wouldn't. Do you know how many stings she already had? I'm pretty sure the others felt the same way - understandable behavior. Let's not forget that the District 4 girl also died that way. But...it is still sad.

2 Finnick

Getting torn apart by mutts is about as gruesome as it gets, and then getting blown to bits isn't much better. Not to mention that he was just married, with an unborn child on the way. Finnick endured so much suffering, between both Hunger Games experiences, watching his mentor and motherly figure, Mags, die, knowing the woman he loved was suffering for months, and eventually the way he died: lizard mutts feasting on his flesh in the cold, dark sewers.

When seeing the short clip of his death, fighting to the last but getting dragged by lizard mutts, and plunged into the dark, murky cold water. Then the other mutations fought over his body to get a bit more of his flesh, and his agonizing wails of pain. It was a bit different in the book, but either way, it was such a horrible death that he didn't deserve. He had just gotten married.

3 Cato

No person should die like that.

He was in pain for hours. How is that not gruesome?

No one deserves to die like that.

I can't believe Glimmer decided to just decapitate him like that.

4 Prim
5 Mags

Yes, it was fast, but she was probably in so much pain before she died!

6 Cinna

He was killed right in front of Katniss. Imagine seeing your best friend die like that and then having to go and fight to stay alive for the second time! After watching him be smashed against the tube, he was hung from a lamp post. Come on, people, his death is sad!

Man, this guy was nice. Why? His sense in fashion wasn't bad! It was amazing!

7 Clove Clove Kentwell is a fictional character in the The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. She was portrayed by 19 year old Isabelle Fhurman in the film adaptation.

In the film, it was her head and the cornucopia, and in the book, it was her head and a rock. Both were painful.

8 Wiress

She was such an important character and one of my favorites. It was sad to see her die.

9 Rue

Her death is not horrible, but she was so young!

10 District 8 Girl (74th HG)

It was Peeta and Cato's shared kill. She made a fire, so the Careers hunted her down. They tackled her, beat her up, and then she begged for mercy. So, Cato got his sword, tortured her, and stabbed her multiple times. But she did not die, and Katniss heard her moaning in pain. They left her, and a few hours later, they realized she was not dead. So they sent Peeta to finish her. Peeta went back, slashed her several times, and after he returned to the Careers, she died. It is very horrible. She was chopped up and left there to die in pain, and she was only 13.

The Contenders
11 President Snow
12 Foxface Foxface is a fictional character in the Hunger Games franchise. She was portrayed by Jacqueline Emerson.
13 Messalla

Come on, guys, he melted like cheese in the sun. That's gruesome as heck.

14 Thresh
15 Mr. Everdeen
16 Cashmere
17 District 10 Male (74th HG)
18 Darius
19 President Alma Coin
