Fuckin missed opportunity. Would be even better if it was over 98 and the killer says like a really bad joke about running hot.
Somebody get Sam Raimi on the thread
“You should cool off”
What would really tie it together is the transition to the next day/murder investigation scene showing it drop down to room temperature.
That’d be dope
Then up again during the transfer to the morgue, implying something.
I dunno, but that’s brilliant. You should be writing this stuff. 🤣
This would have been a hilarious Dexter gag.
That would be silly. The only reason that the average body temperature is said to be 98.6°F is because that is what 37°C converts to. Notice how that is a nice round number? It’s actually about 97.9°F or 36.6°C.
Jam ’em? I rectum!
A natural what?
There’s one where a guy sticks his arm in a blood pressure monitor and then zombies rip his arm off his body while it’s still in there and it reads 0 over 0.
Emily answers in the kitchen and is attacked by a masked assailant, but stabs him in the neck with a meat thermometer. Steven returns expecting Emily to be dead, but finds the assailant’s body.
From A Perfect Murder, so it’s been used, but the close up? Who knows, and yeah not horror though.
Trying to research it is just coming up with a bunch of people being stabbed in movie theaters by meat thermometers… why is there so many…
Season 3 Hells Kitchen
I’ve taken my temperature with a meat thermometer and I’m pretty sure the calibration on those things isn’t that precise, it’s never really at 98.6
Not a thermometer, but there’s something similar in the movie Sleepaway Camp… but I think it’s a curling iron iirc…. And you don’t want that inside you
There’s a number of meat thermometer murderers - The Summer of Massacre holds the Guinness Book of records for most on-screen kills and so they get a little creative.
A man was also once stabbed with meat thermometer while watching a horror movie.
