10 Scariest Car Scenes Of All Time

2. The Log - Final Destination 2

Urban Legend movie
New Line Cinema

In Final Destination 2, a car crashes on a highway, setting off a chain reaction that causes motorcycles, cars, and trucks to collide into each other, killing dozens.

What makes this scene so horrific is that we see each of the victims suffer. We witness these poor souls (including teenagers and pregnant women) being crushed, impaled, shredded, and incinerated in graphic detail. One of the most haunting visuals is a man on fire helplessly trying to release his wedged arm from two vehicles. Watching the flames peel the skin off his face while a burning truck collides into him is one of the most horrible deaths in the franchise (and that's saying a lot).

However, the moment everyone remembers is what triggered the car pile up in the first place. In the beginning of the scene, the logs on a truck trailer disconnect, sending one of them through a police car, turning the driver into a bloody pulp. Even though Final Destination 2 came out almost 20 years ago, many drivers become noticeably anxious on the road when they see a timber truck, purely because of this movie.
