So I'm writing a screenplay...

Agreed, there are many different scenarios for 'death on the farm':
- caught inside the silo filling up
- thrown down the well
- various farm machinery deaths
- death by farm animals

Some of these have been played a lot on TV shows and movies. That doesn't mean that they aren't still viable. You just need to a have a twist (preferrably a comic twist) about how the situation developed or occurred that will set your story apart.

The prospect of cannibalism is there since farm generally have all the tools to turn animals into food and you'll have bodies that need disposing of, either accidentally or on purpose. (BTW - I seem to recall some B-grade horror movie from the early eighties ("Motel Hell"?) where they cut out people's tongues and buried them up to their necks so they could 'harvest' them. Probably not a good idea for a story though, since that was part of the reason why it was a B-movie...LOL!)

How about an elderly, frail-looking, church-going couple who just happen to be really, really good at ending people and disposing of the remains, because "Back in our day, this is how we handled young miscreants."?
