00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most shocking and brutal
00:11kills in Ty West's horror films X and Pearl.
00:15As we'll be revealing characters' fates, a spoiler warning is now in effect.
00:1910.
00:20Jackson Hole X, Vietnam veteran turned adult film actor
00:28Jackson Hole was by all accounts one groovy guy.
00:32Unfortunately, the well-endowed star didn't know what he was getting himself into when
00:36he agreed to make an X-rated film on a rural Texas farm.
00:39He certainly didn't anticipate Howard and Pearl, the elderly couple who own the farm,
00:44to be his ultimate undoing.
00:45While out looking for his wife, a shotgun-wielding Howard sets his sights on Jackson.
00:51After telling his unwelcome guest about his inadequacies in the bedroom, he accuses the
00:55war vet of enticing his old lady.
01:10With frustrations boiling over, Howard doesn't hesitate in pulling the trigger on his double-barreled
01:15gun, blowing Jackson straight into a watery grave offscreen.
01:219.
01:23Pearl's Father, Pearl In Ty West's prequel film, Pearl, artitulist
01:30psychopath, can be seen continuously mistreating her paralyzed father by means of abuse and
01:35neglect.
01:38He is also subjected to the horrors of watching his murderous daughter spiral out of control.
01:53And so, it was only a matter of time before the infirm dad met his own dire fate.
02:01Completely helpless and unable to fight back, Pearl uses a pillowcase to suffocate him to
02:05death.
02:20His body is left to decompose in the family home alongside his wife, Pearl's mother, Ruth.
02:25It's a grisly end for Pops, one that caps off Pearl's complete removal of her parents.
02:308.
02:31Lorraine Day, X Upon its release, many fans assumed that Jenna
02:35Ortega's character Lorraine would survive the slasher carnage in X.
02:39They were wrong.
02:40That's because the Hollywood It Girl would serve as yet another victim of Pearl and Howard's
02:45onslaught.
02:48Living in the unhinged couple's cellar, Lorraine realizes the direness of her situation when
02:52she discovers a dead body is down there with her.
02:59After being trapped, Lorraine luckily manages to break free with help from Maxine.
03:03Unluckily, her dash to freedom is cut short thanks to a shotgun blast from Howard.
03:17Ortega's character's demise marked a gasp-inducing moment, making it clear absolutely nobody
03:23was safe.
03:247.
03:25Wayne Gilroy, X Wayne Gilroy is the producer of the adult
03:28film being made in X.
03:33A good ol' boy with a way with words, Gilroy eventually finds himself on the wrong end
03:37of some farm equipment.
03:52You see, when the film's distraught director R.J. goes missing, Gilroy sets out to find
03:57him.
03:58Wandering into Pearl and Howard's barn, the producer steps on a nail.
04:03His problems only get worse when he decides to peer through some holes in the wall after
04:07noticing movement outside.
04:09It's then that he is met with a pitchfork blow to the eyeballs.
04:16We'd like to say he didn't see it coming, but, well, you know.
04:206.
04:21The Projectionist, Pearl From one pitchfork killing to another we go,
04:24as an unlucky movie theatre projectionist made the mistake of upsetting Pearl in the
04:29worst way.
04:30What makes this killing especially shocking is the fact that the young man was Pearl's
04:33love interest in the prequel film.
04:39Things turn sour for the two, however, when he becomes suspicious of our deranged protagonist
04:43and her odd behaviour.
04:55When he goes to leave, Pearl stops him by way of a pitchfork attack.
05:02The disturbing kill is relentless, with multiple stabbing blows that are more unsettling than
05:07the last.
05:08The Projectionist's body, along with his car, is then sent into a pond where a certain alligator
05:13has its way with it.
05:17Speaking of the killer gator…
05:195.
05:20Bobby Lynn Parker, Ex Poor Bobby Lynn never saw it coming.
05:25Adult film actress Bobby Lynn Parker goes on the hunt for Pearl, following Maxine's
05:30hysteric accusations that the elderly woman touched her while she slept.
05:40She eventually finds Pearl near a pond, but it's clear she's upset.
05:46In an act of kindness, Bobby Lynn attempts to comfort the old woman, however, Pearl makes
05:50it crystal clear that she doesn't want her help, and proceeds to push the X-rated starlet
05:56into the water.
06:02It's then that the pond's resident gator emerges to get a late-night snack.
06:07This marked an unnerving and literal bone-crunching end for the blonde Southern Belle.
06:124.
06:13Ruth Pearl As previously noted, Pearl showed no mercy
06:18when it came to her parents.
06:20In fact, Pearl's first kill is her own mother, Ruth.
06:30Although the death may not have been intentional, it remains incredibly shocking.
06:34It all goes down following a blowout argument over Pearl's would-be acting career.
06:47When things turn physical, Pearl pushes her mother into the kitchen hearth, sending her
06:51ablaze.
07:01Ruth eventually succumbs to the severe burns, but instead of feeding her mom's body to
07:05the hungry gator in the pond, Pearl places it in the basement, where it is left to rot
07:10until the end of the film.
07:143.
07:16Mitzi Pearl
07:17Mitzi, Pearl's sister-in-law, started out as one of the only people that Pearl trusts.
07:22Pearl even monologues her current bout of unhappiness to Mitzi.
07:27However, these positive feelings Pearl has for her husband's sister doesn't last long.
07:34After intimidating Mitzi into confessing that she got the part that they had both auditioned
07:39for, Pearl doesn't take it very well.
07:41She promptly grabs an axe, chases Mitzi down, and goes in for the kill with a wild swing.
07:47Make that swings.
07:51It's a shocking sight, and one that serves as a chilling confirmation that Pearl's ambition
07:55has led her down an extremely vicious path.
08:042.
08:08R.J. Nichols X
08:09The adult film director and cameraman featured in X, R.J. Nichols, finds himself spinning
08:15out of control after his girlfriend Lorraine takes part in an impromptu scene for the raunchy
08:20flick.
08:21Angry, R.J. goes on the run in the middle of the night and attempts to strand the crew
08:24by stealing the van.
08:25What the hell do you think she can have?
08:28Let's see how far they get without me.
08:30However, this plan is thwarted when elderly Pearl emerges in nothing but a nightgown.
08:39Pearl attempts to seduce R.J., but he turns her down.
08:44As you might have guessed, this makes Pearl angry.
08:51So angry that she proceeds to continuously stab the pretentious director in the neck
08:55until his head comes clean off.
08:57What can we say?
08:58When Pearl gets mad, heads will roll.

09:19Following her extreme trail of destruction, Pearl finally gets what she deserves, her
09:23own gruesome end.
09:25When Maxine gets the upper hand, she thinks she has the old woman dead to rights, however,
09:33her attempt to shoot Pearl fails thanks to the gun being empty.
09:37When Pearl fires a shotgun at Maxine, though, the resulting force knocks her off her feet
09:41and injures her.
09:46Pearl's ensuing admonishments over her sinful existence are silenced, however, as Maxine
09:51proceeds to back a truck over her noggin.
09:55Now, that's using your head.
