10 Horror Movie Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won

10. Death - Final Destination 2

Final Destination 2 ends with protagonists Kimberly (A. J. Cook) and Thomas (Michael Landes) seemingly managing to cheat Death for good. 

Given that the pair haven't reappeared in any sequels and every other major character in the series has been claimed by Death in the end, they're effectively the series' two only survivors.

Except, not quite.

The DVD release of Final Destination 3 includes a "Choose Your Fate" feature, allowing audiences to watch alternate branching paths of various scenes from the film.

This includes a different ending in which a newspaper cutting is briefly visible which reveals that Kimberly and Thomas were killed in a freak woodchipper accident. 

And even if you dismiss this as non-canon, it's worth knowing that, according to franchise creator Craig Perry, the intent was always to have Death beat the duo eventually.

In fact, the original plan was to have Kimberly and Thomas show up in Final Destination 3's final train crash sequence, yet due to scheduling conflicts it never happened.

But given that neither has been heard from since the second movie, and Final Destination 5 did everything it could to give Death a decisive victory over everyone, it's clear that the duo aren't still among the living.
