☠ THE HALL OF DEATH ☠
A memorial to the original wave of stick figure death animations — the 56k-era shorts, Flash cartoons, and Newgrounds upload-of-the-day winners that taught a generation that crude is a feature, not a bug. Most of these no longer exist anywhere except cached on someone's old hard drive. We remember them anyway.

☠ THE FOUNDERS · 1999—2003
1999
STICKDEATH.COM
The original. Hundreds of three-second deaths archived in HTML frames. The reason this site exists at all.
2001
FRAG MOVIE
A pivotal moment. Two stick figures, one rocket launcher, and an unprepared third stick figure.
2001
XIAO XIAO 3
Imported from China by Zhu Zhiqiang. Choreography that frame-perfect martial arts movies still envy.
2002
JOE ZOMBIE
Episodic narrative stick figure horror. Got dramatic enough that people forgot to laugh.
2002
CYANIDE
Three-act tragedy. Bus involved. Often imitated, never improved.
2003
ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION
Alan Becker's masterpiece. The stick figure achieved consciousness, then revenge.

☠ THE GOLDEN AGE · 2003—2008
2004
SALAD FINGERS
Honorary entry. Not a stick figure but spiritually adjacent. He has rusted spoons.
2005
MADNESS COMBAT
Krinkels. Hank. The Auditor. A whole mythology built from stick figures with circle heads.
2006
PIVOT MASTERS
Pivot Animator democratized everything. Suddenly every middle schooler had a stick figure dying in a forum sig.
2007
EBAUMS REPOSTS
Without consent. Without credit. Without watermark removal. A dishonorable mention.
Adobe Flash powered most of what's listed above. It is gone now and we are worse for it. The Reaper takes his own eventually.
