8 Horror TV Shows Where Everyone Dies In The End

4. The Terror Season 1

Dead Set
BBC

The Terror is a brilliant retelling of the tragic events of the artic expeditions of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, which mixes the real-life events of the expedition with supernatural occurrences to create a one-of-a-kind psychological thriller.

Those who have watched the series finale might say that when compared to the historical events and the novel, the show's kill count is actually missing one person. After all, Captain Crozier is shown to be alive in the final shot, sitting on the sheet of ice with an Inuit boy on his lap. However, given the narrative of the Terror and how it showcases that the British explorers' arrogance and trust in technology ultimately led to their demise, the new life to which Crozier adapts after all of his crew is gone feels like a death scene of its own.

As the sole survivor of the tragedy, Crozier acknowledges the errors of his and his men's ways. He ultimately chooses to abandon his old life, and the final scene is meant to show you that what was left of Crozier gave way to a completely different man. The words of the translator in the final scene only confirm this: "Tell them we are gone".
