Top Ten Execution Methods of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Boiling

Whoever made this list is probably sadistic.

2 Crucifixion

Crucifixation is terrible!

3 Electric Chair

Barely humane, and only for special occasions, like mass child murder

4 Impalement
5 Hanged, Drawn, And Quartered

Exactly what Guy Fawkes got

6 Burning at the Steak

Medium rare, please.

7 Rat Torture

So is this like...throwing someone into a pit full of rats so they can get eaten alive by them?

This one is just... So very messed up.

8 Guillotine

Be glad this isn't painful or torturous unlike the rest of the methods.

This one was relatively humane.

9 Scaphism
10 Hanging

It's a nice way to be killed. Just hanging freely from a rope. It can also either be quick or torture depending on how far the drop is.

Another good method that's scary but still humane. Hanging generally if done right breaks the neck and it's a pretty quick death.

The Contenders
11 Gas Chamber

The primary execution method in the Nazi Concentration Camps.

12 Cyanide Poisoning
13 Flaying
14 Lethal Injection

Likely the most humane and painless of them all. Perfect for someone who only killed 3-5 people.

Too merciful. Save it for innocent beings (animals) that are being put out of their miseries.

15 Firing Squad

Another good method that's scary but not inhumane.

16 Suffocation
17 Thrown from Helicopter

Weird and cool at once...

18 Blood Eagle
19 Napalm

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
