20 Horror Movie Characters We NEVER See

The Final Destination franchise revolves around hapless people being chased down by Death itself - a force capable of extreme punishment, and yet which is never physically depicted on-screen as a tangible being, thankfully.

Now, it's absolutely worth pointing out that the series has occasionally depicted the vague essence of Death by way of shadowy shapes moving around, but it's also quite sensibly never committed to showing Death without ambiguity.

For many years, it was a popular fan theory that mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd) was actually the personification of Death - hence his intimate knowledge of how Death operates - but the most recent sequel, Final Destination Bloodlines, quite categorically proved that not to be true.

Given the enormous potential for a physical rendition of Death to come off as obscenely silly, especially this far into the franchise, the filmmakers would be best to stick to what works - keeping Death an intangible force pulling the strings from behind the curtain.
