Impalement is the process by which a person is stabbed with a long, cylindrical or sharpened item, which penetrates the other side of the body. In most cases, such a thing tends to be fatal. Impalement is also the most effective means of destroying and/or incapacitating a vampire. Classically, this is done by hammering a wooden stake into their heart. Impalement is also a popular method for executing targets if one happens to be a T-1001 Terminator with metallic polyalloy components. This was effectively demonstrated in films such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day and episodes from season two of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
