Added DiffLines:

* HateCrimesAreASpecialKindOfEvil:
** In ''Film/TheFinalDestination'', when [[spoiler:Carter]] is preparing to burn a cross on George's lawn, Death [[spoiler:causes his truck radio to start playing "Why Can't We Be Friends?"]]; then it kills him in a manner not too dissimilar to how racist lynch mobs would execute their victims.
** In ''Film/FinalDestination5'', Death does the same thing to [[spoiler:Isaac]], an idiotic sleaze who tries to invoke a HappyEndingMassage at an Asian parlor after other visitors point out that he's not at a brothel. [[spoiler:Isaac's head is crushed by the same Buddha's statue he previously sneered at.]]

Added DiffLines:

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. While most of the films have characters who don’t have the same name, there are two victims named Carter. One is in the first movie, who is a bully to the others, and the other is in the fourth movie, who is a racist.

%%* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Death shows up in a lot of small, mysterious ways, like random portents of death showing up (such as the number 180).


Added DiffLines:

* OurSlashersAreDifferent: This is essentially a SlasherMovie series with a twist: Death itself is hunting the protagonists and killing them off one by one after they survive a major freak accident or incident. Separate movies adopt slightly different attitudes towards the exact nature of the connection, which will be detailed on the individual pages.
