Is there anything that would be worse than being implanted by a face hugger?
There cannot be anything as horrifying as this.

What is the most painful, excruciating, and terrifying way to die that you have seen in fiction?

That thing in a Saw sequel that slowly twists all of your limbs one at a time until they snap, then does the same to your neck. Yuck city. Slow and brutal.

Buried alive after being sealed inside a barrel with the decomposing body of your murdered best friend
Watching your brother get beaten to death with baseball bats in a cornfield knowing full well he's getting it easy.
It's absolutely horrible, but I'd say the relative 'quickness' of the death makes it less than some of the other gruesome stuff I've read. Will have to find some quotes later.
And in before anyone else says Vogon poetry.

Man o man, so many gnarly deaths in ASOIAF/GoT. Viserys had a bad one, and I can't imagine how bad it would suck to have a rat clawing at your stomach trying to avoid a hot surface.
Came to post this.
How about never being able to die?
*notices its on Prime*
Will report back with horrified research results later.
Being digested alive can't be pleasant.
Unless you're into that sort of thing...
Good pick. This movie is mad underrated. Extremely horrific and this scene is was also quite the twist.
You'll know it when you see it that's for sure.

There were some really great effects in that movie.
The Blob (1988), for anyone wondering.
The scene in one of the Wrong Turn movies where the inbred mutants remove a dude's kidney's and other organs and eat them in front of him.
Uh.. this?
Only a close second to killer vines.

Came for this one. Glad someone knows their history. Nothing compares outside of some shit like Event Horizon where technically you could endure that forever without the freedom of death.
Death by a thousand cuts, aka "slow slicing" as practiced in China is one of the very worst. DO NOT image search it. There are photographs, and they are horrible.
Being hanged, drawn, and quartered probably sucks. That said your brain is pretty good at appeasing you during death.
Being sawed in half from the perineum up would probably be worse than dying from a chest burster.
I don't always cite anime, but something that's stuck with me since watching Bleach would be how Mayuri kills one of the espada by slowing down time relative to the enemy. A second passes in real time as Mayuri drives his sword into the espada's heart, but it feels like decades to the enemy as he waits for the sword to finally kill him.

Indeed, no fiction comes to my mind as horrifying as the persian boats, also known as "Scaphism"
Oh yeah, you could probably do a top 10 just from the books/show, but dying by having your eyes gouged out and your head crushed in, by the man who raped and then murdered your sister in the same exact way... it wasn't just brutal in terms of the violence, but the utter humiliation, and in front of all your sworn enemies to boot.
It's just horrific on every single level in ways that few other deaths, if any, can really compare imo.
It's so incredibly horrific.
Yeah my pick for worse fiction. Essentially hell with the devil tormenting one individual as much as he can.
This also came to mind. Anything for a prolonged period of time is horrific. Like Kars I'm sure he lost his mind and stopped thinking long before being killed.
Drowning.
Simple death, and most movies do a shitty job at showing how awful it really is (most are like you're dead from having your head in the water for 10 seconds), but the few that do it well... *shudder*
Drowning scene in The Abyss with Bud and Lindsey always sticks with me.

A video that traumatized me for life was the one about a chinese mall and those mechanical stairs?
It was absolutely horrifying.
