10 Horror Movies That Brutally Punish Hobbies

5. Final Destination 3 - Tanning

Breeder Movie 2020
New Line Cinema

For some people, maintaining a good tan is a part of their regular routine, with them hitting the tanning salon a couple of times a week.

If those tanning enthusiasts happened to check out Final Destination 3, chances are they may reconsider getting their bronze again.

Famously, the third Final Destination picture gave audiences one of the greatest death scenes in the history of the franchise. The first of the Devil's Flight roller coaster survivors to bite the bullet, Ashley and Ashlyn end up burnt to a crisp when Death comes calling for them during one of their usual trips to the tanning salon.

With standard Final Destination shenanigans at play here, this pair of characters end up nice 'n' crispy when their tanning beds malfunction and we get an elaborate sequence involving a drink, the air conditioning, a coat rack, a potted tree and a shelf.

As a result of this wonderful, coincidental turn of events, Ashley and Ashlyn are trapped in their overheating tanning pods, with their safety goggles melding to their eyes before they're toasted up real good.
