8 Great…’Final Destination’ Kills

Eleven years later and the Final Destination franchise is still going strong for a reason, and it probably has to do with how much we enjoy seeing the new sick and twisted ways the filmmakers come up with to kill people off.

Scroll through for our our 8 favorite deaths.
