10 Horror Movie Characters Who Die In The Very Last Scene

2. Carter Horton - Final Destination

In terms of movie premises, Final Destination is pretty much as bleak as it gets.

After surviving a plane crash thanks to a premonition, Alex Browning and a group of people from his school are slowly picked off by a vengeful Death, who takes great pleasure in making its victims suffer for initially escaping its clutches.

One gets hanged, one gets hit by a bus, and one gets stabbed in the head and their house explodes. Death is in its element. 

Alex, along with fellow students Clear Rivers and Carter Horton, think they managed to escape the reaper and take a trip to Paris to celebrate. Because that’s a good idea - travelling on a plane whilst being hunted by Death! 

Whilst in the French city, the penny drops that they aren’t as safe as they first thought. That’s not the only thing that drops, as a huge sign swings down from above them. Carter pushes Alex out of the way, before asking “Who’s next?”.

You, Carter. You’re next.

The sign swings back around and, just before it hits the poor boy, the film cuts to black.
