Halley's comet loses a bit of mass every time it makes a trip around the sun. Eventually, it will run out of volatiles (gasses) and become an almost invisible asteroid. There is the possibility that it might crash into something. While I don't believe its course intercepts any planets currently, the outgassing could change the course enough to cause Halley to crash into a planet.

In 1994, that fate befell Comet Shoemaker-Levy which fell dramatically into Jupiter.
