Working Title: Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: From YKTTW
Would Enchanted count? Er, a little? She doesn't get completely impaled but being a Disney movie intended to be a Disney pastiche of past works...well, falling on a tower, even a blunt tower, kind of implies some things.
Citizen: Why does this trope get a "Warning! This trope contains spoilers!" warning (which allows naked spoilers)? This isn't an ending trope (examples don't have to be the final bosses, and many at present aren't), where just being on the list is a spoiler. Seems like just a lazy excuse to not hide spoilers.
Its a little old, but Baldur's Gate 2 had a moment during dialog with a Beholder guarding a chest (formerly owned by some Drow) in the underwater sidequest that references getting speared. I took a screenshot of that moment, and shall transcribe here what that Beholder said. "Hmmmn. Well, he screamed 'my chest', as I recall. A spear was being thrust through his own chest at the time, though, so he could have been referring to that."
Operator: Again, I'll apoligize for my lack of wiki-markup, but I've got a potential addition, but it's definitely not-family-friendly.
In the John Ringo/Tom Kratman Posleen book "Yellow Eyes", the rejuved 'Matron Digna Miranda' arranges for General Cortez (the nephew of the deposed President of Panama) to be released into her custody after the coup removing his uncle from office. Owing to the fact that he had her beaten and gang-raped during her time in HIS custody, she has him staked out, and impaled from the rectum up through his stomach, and then has his body and stake levered into a hole so that she can spit into his face. She then leaves him impaled like this to die.
- I believe Cortez' rank was General, though I couldn't find the corroboration I wanted in the book. I also decided that I would be no more graphic than the above description, but the relevant passage in the book is HIGHLY graphic.
