10 Exact Horror Movie Moments You Knew Characters Were Screwed

6. Carter Drops An "N-Bomb" - The Final Destination

Though the majority of the characters in the Final Destination franchise are mere meat shields who exist solely to be destroyed in a myriad of creatively gnarly ways, the fourth movie's racist tow truck driver Carter Daniels (Justin Welborn) earned himself the primest-of-prime spots on Death's list.

Just minutes after the opening speedway accident, Carter drops an "N-bomb" while addressing fellow survivor George Lanter (Mykelti Williamson), in turn ensuring he wouldn't be making it to the end of the movie - or really anywhere near.

Hilariously, Death wastes no time at all giving the racist a suitably grisly demise, as in the film's very next scene his attempt to burn a cross on George's lawn is scuppered when he gets dragged off, set on fire, and exploded by his own runaway tow truck. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, clearly.

Even accepting the basement-low expectations audiences have for the survival prospects of Final Destination characters, Carter basically committed an act of cinematic suicide by outing himself as a weapons-grade a**hole.
