17	ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: A fight that takes place in a slaughterhouse, amongst the meat chunks hanging from the hooks. Adds a certain edge to a confrontation, surrounding it with death from the onset and simultaneously blocking the line of sight in all directions. Expect NoOSHACompliance and a ConveyorBeltODoom. Bonus point if the place doubles as a SickeningSlaughterhouse.

19	And hey, if you survive you can get a BeefBandage immediately.

21	Has nothing to do with ''Literature/SlaughterhouseFive''.

27
28	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
29	* In ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'', [[SerialKiller Barry]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Chopper]] tries to kill Winry and Ed at one of these. Makes sense, since he's also a butcher.
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	[[folder:Comic Books]]
33	* ''[[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Batman Inc.]]'' has one when [[EvilMatriarch Talia]] tries to poison a huge supply of beef. It ends with [[SociopathicHero Damian]] declaring himself a vegetarian and adopting "Bat-Cow."
34	* ''ComicBook/CaptainBritain'' fights the monstrous killer Silver Death in a Glaswegian abattoir. Silver Death, one of the mutated Warpies, is a flying bundle of bladed, hooked tentacles surrounding a disembodied head. He absolutely shreds the beef carcasses during the fight - and flying through them doesn’t even slow him down.
35	* [[ComicBook/{{Carnage}} Cletus Kasady]] and [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Flash Thompson]], who are both legless due to losing their symbiotes, fight in a meat processing plant at the end of ''Carnage U.S.A.''
36	* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} gets into a fight in a slaughterhouse with Mr. ImprovisedWeapon himself, Bullseye. The only way for Wade to survive is to make a [[MemeticMutation suit of frozen meat armor,]] thus fulfilling his childhood dream.

39	[[folder:Fan Works]]
40	* When [[HockeyFight ice hockey]] first comes to Ankh-Morpork on the Literature/{{Discworld}}, the best available venue for big men[[note]]and suitably inclined ladies[[/note]] on ice skates to beat Hell out of each other is the deep-frozen Pork Futures Warehouse. Where room is created for a fighting/occasional playing area among all the deep-frozen meat carcasses. It's all in the Creator/AAPessimal version.
41	[[/folder]]

48	* ''Film/Predator2'': Keyes and his DEA team plan to capture the Predator in a slaughterhouse, filling the air with dust to foil its InvisibilityCloak, while the low temperatures and some special suits will render his team invisible to thermal vision. [[DidNotThinkThisThrough Unfortunately for the feds]], the Predator still has ''ears'', and its CoolMask comes with [[DidntSeeThatComing additional vision modes]].
49	* Happened in ''Film/SherlockHolmes2009'', with the DamselInDistress chained to a ConveyorBeltODoom leading to a bandsaw and gas pipes spewing flame. The location was later justified [[spoiler: when it was revealed the BigBad was refining his poison gas in the bellies of swine.]]

68	* ''VideoGame/EatLeadTheReturnOfMattHazard'' has the beginning of the second level (arguably the first real level, since the first is more of a tutorial/setting-of-the-stage thing) set in a butcher's store, complete with a shootout in the meatlocker, and an achievement for destroying all the hanging sides of meat.
69	* After [[spoiler: Michael is taken hostage by the Triad in Ludendorff]] in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', Franklin tracks him to a slaughterhouse in East Los Santos. [[NoOSHACompliance Said slaughterhouse has open vats of acid and open saws]], which would be dangerous enough without the gunfight that ensues, and several mooks fall into these as you fight them.

74	* The last (non-DLC) heist in ''VideoGame/PaydayTheHeist'', aptly named "Slaughterhouse". Has since been ported to [[VideoGame/Payday2 the sequel]].
75	* The restaurant stage in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilGunSurvivor'' has a scene where the protagonist battle zombies in a slaughterhouse freezer.
76	* In ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2'', the protagonist faces off against Mr. Sunshine (HollywoodVoodoo-powered [[TheDragon Dragon]] of a drug cartel) and his men in a slaughterhouse. For extra creepiness, there are occult symbols scrawled all over the walls, floor, and ceiling.
77	* The boss fight against [[spoiler:Eddie Drombowski]] in ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'', in what's implied to be [[spoiler:his version of the Otherworld]]. The theme of "butchery" is also significant in ''VideoGame/SilentHillOrigins''.
