A "kill room" generally refers to a specific space used for killing, often associated with various contexts. In older houses or certain settings, a kill room might be a place designated for butchering animals, conducting medical procedures, or even hiding criminal activities
. In popular culture, such as the TV show "Dexter," a kill room is depicted as a room lined with plastic sheeting to contain blood and evidence during a murder, designed to make cleanup easier and reduce forensic traces, though this portrayal is more for dramatic effect than practical accuracy
. Additionally, "The Kill Room" is the title of a 2023 American crime comedy thriller film involving a hitman, an art dealer, and a money laundering scheme, but this is unrelated to the literal meaning of a kill room as a physical space
