The writers definitely have had to come up with unique ways for people to be murdered over all these seasons! I think the Gulliver's Travels type death and the Crop Circle were two of the most creative. Which ones do you think were creative?
The rigged microphone in the first part of The Axeman Cometh certainly springs to mind.

Though I can't recall the exact details without re-watching the episode, 'Destroying Angel' had a quite creative death/cover-up involving an inflatable dinghy and a bow and arrow or crossbow.
shareI don't know if it's the most creative one, but it's definitely the one that gives me the creeps... in "Hidden Depths", they hammer a guy to the ground in the middle of his crocket field and shoot bottles of wine at him from his replica of a Roman catapult, while his wife is forced to watch.
This is the only MM murder I've actually had nightmares about.
Also, all the murders in "The Magician's Nephew": blades in a magician's box and pieces of glass laced with frog poison. And then the murderer himself falls into a terrarium full of Dendrobates frogs. I remember these were so suggestive that I subconsciously avoided touching glass for several days after watching the episode.
If I recall correctly, the wife kind of enjoyed seeing him dying like that?!
May I suggest five degrees to the left (or is it right).
shareI think the attempted murder in Ghosts of Christmas Past was a clever one.
It must have been very frustrating for the killer for all that planning to be wasted.
"Oh, to hell with it, I'll just shove her down the stairs instead!"
The one that cracked me up was in Midsummer Rhapsody, when the guy on the motorbike drove under the wire and his head just popped right off and went bouncing onto Barnaby's windshield. It was just so unexpected, and the way Barnaby's eyes widened and blinked, like "wut??" ... LOL... I know mine did the exact same thing. I was watching and it just ... POP! and I was like WUT??
Then I started laughing and had to watch it again.
Yes, that is a creative one. Actually the death scene is the only thing that episode left impression on me.

How about being crushed to death by a tank? Series 19, episode 1, The Village That Rose From The Dead. Nasty way to go.
