Hi all!

Last week, I professed my diehard love for the Final Destination franchise, by ranking the films here. Today, as promised, I will be sharing the 5 best deaths from the movies. Some of them are downright ridiculous and others, absolutely terrifying. My list contains a mixture of both. Also, if you’re wondering where I got my fabulous Flight 180 t-shirt, I’ll link it here. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

1.) Billy Hitchcock – Final Destination

I love this death, because it’s completely unexpected. In this scene, Carter drives around recklessly, in an attempt to rebel against death. He maneuvers the car onto the railway tracks, waiting for an incoming train; with his friends Alex, Clear and Billy, still inside. Everybody gets out, whilst Carter remains, convinced nothing is going to happen to him. However, as the train gets closer, Carter realises the car won’t start. He attempts to open the door, just as death locks it. At this point, it feels likely that it’s his time to go. However, Alex saves him just in time. As the carriages hurtle past, Billy begins screaming at Carter that he will be the next to die. All of a sudden, a piece of scrap metal from the tracks sails through the air, decapitating Billy. It’s a brilliant scene first-time viewers won’t see coming!

2.) Rory Peters – Final Destination 2

Rory Peters has the most unrealistic and crazy death in Final Destination 2. It’s definitely worthy of this list. In this scene, Rory is standing in an open field, discussing how he thinks he’s going to die with Kimberley. At the same time, a trail of gas is seen spreading towards a news van. When a lit cigarette hits the gas, the van explodes, hurling a wired fence towards Rory. The wires slice through his body, bisecting him. It’s a quick but memorable death!

3.) Ashlyn Halperin & Ashley Freund – Final Destination 3

This might just be the most memorable death in the entire franchise. It actually put a lot of people off tanning beds – which we all know are bad for you. In this scene, spoiled teens, Ashlyn and Ashley, go to a salon and lie in tanning beds, next to one another. I love that Love Rollercoaster plays during this scene. Unbeknownst to them, their Slushees start to leak onto the electrical system, causing the heat to rise. By the time they realise something is wrong, a panel of wood wedges itself between the two beds, making it impossible to escape. The temperature continues to increase, until the glass inside shatters, burning them alive. Brutal, yet so good!

4.) Erin Ulmer – Final Destination 3

Ouch! Poor Erin Ulmer. This is another Final Destination 3 favourite of mine. In this scene, Wendy and Kevin rush to the hardware store, to warn Ian and Erin that they are next. As they are talking, Ian accidentally causes a box to fall off a shelf, right onto the forklift’s gear shift. The forklift slowly begins to follow them, impaling a larger shelf, resulting in a hammer falling and hitting the controls. The forklift rises, putting pressure against a set of ladders, causing them to snap and knock down several planks of wood. Wendy pushes Ian out of the way, but the plank flies through the air, puncturing a bag of sawdust that gets in Erin’s eyes. She stumbles backwards against a nail gun that activates, shooting her multiple times through the skull. What’s great about this death, is how it keeps the viewer guessing. It could’ve been any tool in that warehouse that did her in. I didn’t think it would be the nail gun!

5.) Hunt Wynorski – Final Destination 4

This death is truly terrifying. It involves drowning and being sucked through a pipe. In this scene, Hunt dives into the pool to retrieve his lucky coin. Death uses a water gun to activate the control box, causing the water to drain. The pipe begins to swallow Hunt’s flailing body. Unable to move underwater, Hunt’s organs are completely sucked out through his anus, which are shot poolside, along with his lucky coin. This instalment may have sucked, but this moment was worth making the list.
