there’s no crueler villain than the
hands of fate itself welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten final
destination deaths for this list we’ve
excluded the premonition death scenes
and we’ve selected each stomach-churning
goodbye based on a combination of its
gore and the strength of the chills
thrills humor and irony it gives us as
well as its overall execution
pun intended
also obviously spoiler alert number 10
Evan Lewis
final destination to ah the kitchen
where anything can kill you
exploding microwave hand hungry garbage
disposal cooking fire accident all of
the possibilities are teased in a clever
moment deaths invisible forces clue you
in by dropping the H magnet of the heyy
from the fridge to spell i tossing that
spaghetti out the window was a slip-up
Evan and death doesn’t take kindly to
litter bugs
[Music]
Christ Oh number nine
Olivia castle final destination five
who’s that relax you know it looks a lot
worse than it really is
okay I’m gently going to position your
head surgery is always scary but
throwing lasers and restricted head
movement and the fright factor is
multiplied tenfold I can’t move my head
perfect
having your eye on a vice can be
disconcerting so the scene plays with
this uncomfortable knowledge through its
dark lighting and slow pace did you know
what my assistants given me an
incomplete file I’ll be right back hold
on you’re leaving in a twist it’s not
the botched surgery that kills her but
the very eye prongs that sent us
squirming in the beginning
[Music]
[Music]
number eight nor a carpenter final
destination to
[Music]
a box of hooked prosthetic limbs is
rendered as creepy as possible when a
man with a hair sniffing fetish gets one
caught in Nora’s ponytail a man with
hooks is gonna kill you what what what
is it north
[Music]
while most deaths in the franchise
happen to generally unlikable characters
we don’t really want wholesome
good-natured Nora to die
and her last words while her head is
stuck between two floors exploit that in
full measure
[Music]
number seven Candace Hooper final
destination 5 come on Candace yup
this scene takes advantage of an
excellent principle and suspense it’s
not what happens it’s what doesn’t for
over three minutes the audience’s own
imagination actively participates in
wondering what form death will take when
it comes for Candace McGinnis you got
this in a brilliant bit of foreshadowing
notice that the chill she gets when she
powders up are well warranted because
it’s the powder that does her in
don’t touch someone call nine-one-one
number six Billy Hitchcock
final destination your that I’ve made up
the hill hello Billy
when Billy’s fear and paranoia get a
little too intense death wastes no time
in using a piece of shrapnel to chop his
head off with the Grace and precision of
a Ginsu blade
what are you doing gonna work through
that Billy I’m not dead oh you will be
you’re dead you’re dead anyway get a
window
what makes this simple kill off special
is the fact that a few lives were saved
near moments before it
[Applause]
so our collective relief for the
characters dies just as suddenly death
is just a douchebag that toys with
everyone
number five Ashley friend and Ashlyn
Halperin final destination 3
[Music]
it’s way too warm in here now love the
best part of final destinations deaths
is often the Rube Goldberg factor ie the
twisted machinations of how accidents
happen based on one simple misstep the
tanning beds could have easily locked by
jamming but only death would come up
with something as convoluted as the
machine overheating because of an errant
slushie then a small breeze from the
exhaust causing a coat rack to tumble
knocking down a bookshelf that
ultimately traps the girls
[Music]
number four
Ian McKinley final destination 3 you
didn’t even believe me
yeah well seeing is believing this one’s
simply extraordinary because it’s spiced
up with character and plot point reveals
and is during a dramatic showdown of
confrontational dialogue Oh tell me how
to start it off let’s get this over with
as if that’s not enough of an adrenaline
rush it’s all set over the backdrop of
an exploding fireworks fest waiting to
flare into a finale well I care it
skipped me for me it is over I’m not
dying I’m not dying
we don’t even know if Ian will die or
not because his very presence is based
on a plot twist of course if he’s on
this list then you say I’m not gonna die
it’s you Wendy you’re dead
number three hunt Winiarski the final
destination hunt you know what to do
hunt listen everybody listen no water
okay stay away from water swimming pool
drains are one of those simple devices
that look harmless
they aren’t sharp electric or inherently
dangerous in nature but they induce fear
over the what-if factor alone like what
if your butt got stuck in one leaving
you to wonder if you’ll die by drowning
or disembowelment in Hunts case though
it’s pretty much a coin to us
number two Aaron Elmer final destination
3
oh my god guys what’s going on what’s
going on that’s crazy it’s crazy here we
have a spectacular combination of all
the factors that make for a good death
scene death is king complicated with
half a dozen characters who will the
victim be there are over four minutes of
suspense and witty dialogue discussing
the film’s logic and character
skepticisms while a series of dangerous
accidents waiting to happen builds
around them all
but there’s a safety hazard in there
that really hits the nail on the head
[Music]
before we deliver us from evil with our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions I’ve got my eye on you two
[Music]
that’s all I do Kevin baby I just wear
number one Tim carpenter final
destination to
[Music]
the red herring is Tim’s trip to the
dentist
where pigeons of death torture him by
repeatedly flying into the window a fish
tank leaks water into an electrical
outlet that threatens the oxygen and
nitrous oxide canisters when a plastic
fish falls into Tim’s open mouth to
choke him while he’s getting gassed
through his nose
you don’t expect him to get out of the
office alive but he does almost
