8 Horror TV Shows Where Everyone Dies In The End

In terms of its premise, Shiki shares a few similarities with Midnight Mass. Both shows are about isolated communities becoming breeding grounds for vampires, and both of them end up with their communities burning down completely when the tensions between the living and the undead reach their climax.

The main difference between the shows is that Shiki actually tries to make its audience sympathize with the vampires a little bit. The town folk turned into the titular shiki are shown to have retained most of their human qualities, and they appear to only want to survive in the world, just like the rest of the town.

This is why, when the shiki's existence becomes exposed and the humans decide to kill them all, the carnage that ensues hits the viewer especially hard. Pretty much every single scene during the burning of the town of Sotoba shows its vampiric citizens getting staked, burned, and even tortured by their own family members.

At the end of the final episode, we see Seishin and Sunako driving away from the carnage. Though they make it out of Sotoba with their (un)lives, the town's destruction is a clear sign that can never escape humanity's wrath.
