This week is simple, goblinites! It’s Halloween, and that means Saw. Here’s my favorite traps, and click here for the complete trap list.

5. Saw Trap (Saw V)

In this trap, the survivors of the group games come together and mush fill a container with blood if they hope to escape. What makes this trap so cool is the fact that, had they worked together, a little slice on the palm from all of them would have set them all free.

Ah, the irony.

4. Bathroom Trap (Saw)

The entire first movie centered here, pitting two men against one another if they hope to live. Now, Jigsaw allows the men to think they are alone with a cadaver, thinking that he’s watching from another location. However, he’s right there, pretending to be dead.

So good. ^_^

3. Save As I Save (Saw IV)

Save as I Save is a work of symbolism, embodying the terrible relationship of a couple. They are tied to a pole, with iron bars piercing them. The man’s vital points are punctured, then the bar is angled so that it pierces a non-vital point of the woman.

The woman’s challenge is to remove the bars, breaking free of her abusive husband. Of course, the husband wants to keep her trapped, both by bars and by their relationship. In the end, she frees herself of both and is grateful. Amazing.

2. Mausoleum Trap (Saw IV)

Two men, chained to some gears, being pulled into the grinder. One has his eyes sewn shut. The other, his mouth. Being unable to communicate, the man who can’t see begins trying to kill the other noisemaker, while the other man struggles to keep them both alive.

I love this trap, because the bindings on their senses are the real trap. Phenomenal.

1. Pig Vat (Saw III)

This trap was the grossest, and my favorite. Why? Because no one wants to drown in ground up pig carcasses and maggots. Also, because you can totally side with the father, wanting justice from the judge in the trap. It makes for a heart-wrenching scene and one heck of a trap.
