A version of The Cameo (usually a joke) where someone on the production crew (often the director, creator, etc.) appears briefly to just die like all the other Innocent Bystanders. See also Dead Star Walking, Celebrity Casualty, and Creator Cameo. As a Death Trope, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead! Beware. |

Bruce Willis appears in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle as a government agent protecting one of two rings that forms a top-secret government list. As he gets on his private jet, he is almost immediately held up by a masked assailant who takes the ring from him, and then shoots him point blank in the head (off-screen). We later find out that his assailant is an ex-Angel played by Demi Moore, who is Willis' ex-wife. Subtle revenge, perhaps? | |

Happens a few times in the Disney Animated Canon: The deer featured in the opening of Beauty and the Beast is Bambi's mum, just before she is shot. This is a case of animation being reused. Since one of the heads featured on Gaston's wall strongly resembles Bambi's mum, it is implied that Gaston was the killer. A similar-looking deer made a brief cameo toward the end of The Jungle Book (1967), where she is instead stalked by Shere Khan, that film's Big Bad. In The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney), one can clearly see Pumbaa being roasted in the background of a scene. In Hercules, when Hercules is posing for a painter, he is wearing Scar's hide. Four times, as a director cameo: Those guys in Mulan lighting the fireworks were the movie's directors (Barry Cook & Tony Bancroft). They jump off and presumably fall to their deaths after seeing Mushu. |

The Simpsons: In "The Otto Show", Spın̈al Tap's tour bus crashes in a fiery explosion thanks to Otto's reckless driving. Shirley Temple appears briefly before getting eaten by King Homer in "Treehouse Of Horror III". "Marge Vs The Monorail" has Simpsons crew members Rich Moore, Wes Archer, and David Silverman falling to their deaths riding the escalator to nowhere. The Flying Nun cameos in "Brother From The Same Planet". The wind carries her over a hill where an explosion can then be seen. The frogs from the '90s Budweiser commercials cameo in "The Springfield Files" but get immediately eaten by an alligator who mentions the rival beer, Coors. Mario appears on a bus full of Italian tourists laughing at Homer in "Homer And Ned's Hail Mary Pass". Homer kills him by throwing trash cans at him, complete with the death animation from the original Donkey Kong. "Treehouse Of Horror XX" had a segment parodying Alfred Hitchcock movies. While Lisa is trying to murder Bart, they accidentally push a man resembling Hitchcock off a cliff, an homage to his cameos in his movies. Corpses of The Simpsons appearing crudely drawn as they originally did in The Tracey Ullman Show appear buried in both "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" and "Adventures In Baby-Getting", a Godzilla skeleton appears beside them in the former. Weirdly this forshadows a segment in "Treehouse Of Horror XXV" parodying The Others, where The Simpsons have to share their house with the ghost of their Tracey Ullman counterparts. |

Forever Evil (1987) has the unintentional variety, where writer Freeman Williams shows up, only to die thanks to a mutant Jawa. This is actually the demo reel, which was added to the story during principal photography. It's easily distinguished from the rest of the movie (and the original cut puts it at the beginning) due to the fact that none of the movie's main characters appear. | |

Homestuck. When Andrew Hussie ran a Kickstarter to raise funds for an adventure game adaptation, the reward for a $10,000 donation was "Your fantroll will become canon.". The reward for a $100,000 donation was "Your fantroll will survive past the first panel." These reward tiers were originally intended as jokes, but two people actually donated $10,000. True to his word, Hussie prominently featured both characters, then killed them in the very next panel. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "A World of His Own" is about an author who can create anything with his magic dictaphone. If the resulting dictation tape is destroyed, so is the created object. Rod Serling appears at the end and says something to the effect of "We hope you enjoyed this little fairy tale full of nonsense." When he does this, the main character says "Now, Rod, I wouldn't use the word nonsense." He then takes an envelope out of a safe — the envelope is labeled "Rod Serling" He tosses the envelope into the fire and Rod Serling says "That's the way it goes" before disappearing in a puff of smoke. | |

Both characters are subsequently killed off rather quickly: Miguel dies in the attack that opens the SEED series, Heine lasts around three chapters before being killed in battle. A rather insistent rumor among fans says that Nishikawa's fellow OP singer Nami Tamaki was offered the role of Action Girl Shiho Hahnenfuss, but rejected it because she feared Shiho would end up playing this trope straight. | |

It happens in The Fairly OddParents! movie Abra-Catastrophe, although it requires a little bit of Fridge Logic. During his battle with Evil Overlord Crocker, Timmy and Crocker himself get shrunken down to subatomic levels. The audience is given an Establishing Shot zooming in on the pencil erasure of a rather frustrated looking series creator Butch Hartman. Fast forward a few minutes and Timmy splits an atom, resulting in a nuclear explosion, as expected. Timmy and Crocker survive via different forms of magic, but Butch and his studio are nowhere to be seen. | |

While not a cameo so much as a major character, Tarantino still manages to die in From Dusk Till Dawn. He can't even get a break in movies he didn't direct (though he did script it). Tarantino's character is executed even more quickly in Desperado, another movie directed by Robert Rodriguez (and this time Tarantino didn't even write the screenplay). | |

Doom II: The Big Bad of the game, the Icon of Sin, is actually a giant wall with a shoot-through brain texture. Behind the brain texture is a small passage leading to a chamber containing the skewered head of John Romero, one of the game's programmers and level designers. John Romero's head is the actual boss entity in the game, and the Icon of Sin is killed by firing rockets into the brain, which will travel down the passage and explode above Romero's head. John Romero actually found out about this while testing the final level and recorded a soundbite for the boss that was a backwards-masked recording of him saying, "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero." In the add-on level pack Requiem, the 24th level, "Procrustes Chambers," features a Space Marine crucified on an inverted cross, with a sign reading "ADEL" nailed to the top. The designer of the level, and the artist of that texture, was Anthony Czerwonka, also known as "Adelusion." |

The last event in the Grand Finale of Two and a Half Men—right after Charlie had a piano fall on him—was when the audience's view expanded to include Chuck Lorre himself. And then a piano fell on him, just as it did to Charlie. The idea was apparently to show that just as the show showed disrespect to Charlie by turning him into a threatening stalker, so it's also going to kill off the director himself in the same way as what just happened to Charlie. | |

The announcer would voiceover, "Tonight's special guest star - (guest star's name here)!" during the title sequence, and the special guest star would then be killed (often in a hilarious, over-the-top manner). For completeness' sake, the list is Episode 1: Lorne Greene (stabbed and thrown from moving automobile), Episode 2: Georg Stanford Brown (police officer crushed by safe), Episode 3: Robert Goulet (shot by firing squad), Episode 4: William Shatner (restaurant patron, survives machine gun attack only to die via poisoned glass of wine), Episode 5: Florence Henderson (cooking show host, gunned down by machine gun on the set), Episode 6: William Conrad (stabbed and thrown from moving automobile, bookending the fate of Episode 1's special guest star Lorne Greene).note Conrad's scene was filmed as a last-minute replacement for a scene featuring John Belushi at the bottom of a river with his feet encased in cement after Belushi died of a drug overdose before the episode's air date; the footage of his "death" is believed lost. | |

The Happy Tree Friends team animated a music video for Fall Out Boy's "Carpal Tunnel of Love" featuring the Happy Tree Friends characters. Fairly late in the video the four band members appear in Happy Tree Friends form, and just like those characters they all meet a gruesome over-the-top death. | |

Director Martin Campbell appears as the tanker truck driver murdered at Miami airport in Casino Royale (2006). He also appeared in GoldenEye as a motorcyclist who gets run over by Xenia Onatopp, and in that same movie Pierce Brosnan's stunt double Wayne Michaels (who performed the bungee jump at the beginning) appears as a helicopter pilot who gets blown away with a machine gun by Xenia Onatopp. | |

One of the potential anomalies you can encounter in Stellaris is a mummified alien child in a lifepod that was launched from a dying homeworld. Its genetic makeup reveals it would have been a very strong specimen should it have matured, essentially a dead baby Superman. | |

Turned on its head in Spaceballs; during the duel between Lord Helmet and Lone Starr, Helmet accidentally kills one of the film's camera operators. Additionally, John Hurt briefly appears near the end reprising his role from Alien, and winds up dying in the exact same way. |

After TUGS, the short-lived sister series of Thomas & Friends ended, the models that were used on TUGS were recycled and made various cameo appearances on Thomas. A particularly grim example is in the episode, "Edward, Trevor, and the Really Useful Party", where the model of Puffa appears in pieces in the scrapyard. | |

Transformers (2007) has Megatron casually flicking (a CGI approximation of) Michael Bay, saying "Disgusting." There was actually going to be a much longer scene with Megatron personally plucking Michael out of a car for no reason other than to be a bastard and to have Michael in the movie. The cast and crew spent almost an entire day tormenting Michael by doing this scene over and over again. Hilariously, after Michael spent a day hanging on to a car, the scene ended up being cut from the movie due to time constraints. |
