There’s a special kind of horror that sticks with you—not the jump-scare variety or the eerie quietness of a haunted house, but the stuff that seeps under your skin and lives there forever. It’s the kind of thing that makes you squirm in your seat and look away, but when you close your eyes, it’s still there. It’s worse than any monster or ghost. It’s real violence, violence that feels personal. And in 1987, RoboCop gave us the most traumatic death scene in cinema history—a scene so gory, so relentless, that it transcended the movie and carved itself into our collective memories like a scar we all share.
