What about a really dull guillotine?

One that takes ten or fifteen drops to do any real damage?

I mean, yeah, but it just doesn't have the same vibe to it. You can't make a grandiose speech about "condemning them to the depths." Plus it's just much more terrifying, watching the surface of the water rise above you, as you're pulled inexhorably down into the abyss...

Also, the water muffles the screaming!
