[[AC:Final Destination]]
* How doesn't anybody '''not''' mention the infamous plane scene in the beginning? It's graphic, pretty disturbing, and how it ends with it exploding and '''burning everyone alive'''. Just the beginning showing [[spoiler: a ''baby'' and a ''handicapped man'' makes it more disturbing and just [[TearJerker tragic]]...
* '''[[spoiler: Ms. Lewton]]'s death.''' Just to count: she gets stabbed in the throat by shards of her exploding computer screen, knocked to the ground by an exploding Vodka bottle, stabbed in the chest by a large kitchen knife when she was trying to grab a cloth to stop her hemorrhage, but it takes a chair falling on her and hammering the knife deeper in her chest to kill her. And to put the cherry on the cake, her house explodes, burning her body. Considering that she suffered [[SurvivorGuilt severe trauma]] after she witnessed the accident, does not take away the fact that her death is one of the most sadistic and '''fucked up''' of all.
* [[spoiler:Tod]] being strangled by a clothesline in his bathtub. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but watching him struggling to get the wire off or stand up is quite terrifying because you ''know'' that there's a very slim chance of him making it. The fact that it was drawn out to be a very slow and obviously painful death adds to this. This scene also shows that Death is capable of covering it's own tracks. Cue FridgeHorror at how many "suicides" have happened over the years.
* [[spoiler: Alex]] nearly getting electrocuted and blown up at Clear's house.

[[AC:Final Destination 2]]
* The shadowy, skeletal hands.
* Nora's death by EvilElevator. Her braid gets hooked on a bunch of stuff a man in the same elevator is carrying, causing her to fall with her head trapped in between the elevator doors. The elevator then ascends, and despite the people in and out of the elevator trying to help, her head is torn off her shoulders.

[[AC:Final Destination 3]]
* [[Series/{{Mythbusters}} Busted]] or not, the tanning bed death is still horrific.
* Erin's death. She falls against a nail gun, which proceeds to fire nails directly into the back of her head. Her body jerks as each nail penetrates her skill and bursts out her face. After the nail gun stops firing, she whimpers, then her body slowly goes limp as she dies.
* Listening to the song "Roller Coaster of Love" became uncomfortable, as it played as two girls [[spoiler: were burned alive in tanning booths.]]
* The roller coaster sequence at the beginning. The whole thing started over a hydraulic leak and a camera that was dropped and wrapped itself on the track. But the way the rest of the sequence was shot was still frighteningly realistic. Roller Coasters also are taken care of every morning and have alarm systems if something is wrong with it just so things like that never happen. However, consider some of the deaths like the razor sharp swords at the school and other pointless deaths that seem implausible. The whole planet has NoOSHACompliance. It's very probable that the Roller Coaster really would realistically use a horrible, horrible safety system like that. Death is less of a dick than trying to point out all the mechanical flaws like only he knows... and the Voodoo Shark is gone.
* [[spoiler:Kevin's death in the train incident. He is thrown against a damaged window before it breaks and he is sent out of the train screaming. Oh, and it doesn't stop there, as he is thrown outside, he is '''''THEN GROUND DOWN BETWEEN THE TUNNEL WALL AND THE TRAIN!''''']]

[[AC: The Final Destination]]
* [[spoiler: Samantha's sons]] watched as [[spoiler: their mother]] had ''a rock launched into her face.''
* Cheesy or not, [[spoiler: Hunt's death was pretty bad.]]

[[AC: Final Destination 5]]
* The nail which was on the gymnastics bar was terrifying. She was going to slice her Achilles tendon or something. But when she actually did die, that was just, AHH. Her broken body twitches several times as a wet stain spread across the crotch of her gymnastic leotard.
* The [[spoiler:LASIK surgery scene]] in the fifth movie. Holy crap. Even if [[spoiler:LASIK]] doesn't work that way, which should be comforting, but really isn't.
* The whole concept of "Taking another's life for yours", case you don't know it, if you're on Death's list, you ''can'' kill a person who wasn't even on Death's list, be it on purpose or by mistake, they take your spot on the list and you get their lifespan and you're homefree. Sounds fair and well, but then conflict comes in, do you have what it takes to kill a completely innocent person who wasn't even on Death's list, just so you can live longer? It gets worse as you realize that even if you do kill a person, you don't know how long they were even gonna be alive! For all you know, the person can either live for a long time before dying or suddenly die the next day, week, maybe even next hour. The countdown to your impending death doesn't help things either.
* That bloke getting impaled on acupuncture needles, almost burning to death and having his head crushed by a Buddha statue... Just... Damn. Sure, the bloke in question was a complete JerkAss and being incredibly racist to the receptionist but damn was that harsh.

* The entire concept is bad enough. (Oh, you managed to avoid dying? Fine. Now your death will be several times more horrifying, painful, or both.) Then there are some of the deaths themselves, and [[YouCantFightFate the movies' premise]]. Specifically, the opening disaster scenes, which prey on our everyday fears (flying, driving, carnival rides and now crossing bridges).

* Nora's death by EvilElevator. Especially because ''it can and has actually happened''.

* Erin's death. For extra ParanoiaFuel, the first video that shows after typing 'Death by nailgun' in Youtube's search bar is a clip of that exact scene. Coincidence much, or maybe this, too, is a part of Death's plan?

* The nail which was on the gymnastics bar was terrifying. She was going to slice her Achilles tendon or something. But when she actually did die, that was just, AHH. The fact that she's still twitching is even more horrific.

** Considering that she suffered [[SurvivorGuilt severe trauma]] after she witnessed the accident, does not take away the fact that her death is one of the most sadist and '''fucked up''' of all.

* The roller coaster sequence at the beginning. Granted coasters don't work that way (they use air for compression on the safety bars to keep them locked down during the high speeds. Not oil as shown here) and the whole thing implausibly started over a camera that was dropped and wrapped itself on the track. But the way the rest of the sequence was shot was still frighteningly realistic. Roller Coasters also are taken care of every morning and have alarm systems if something is wrong with it just so things like that never happen. However, consider some of the deaths like the razor sharp swords at the school and other pointless deaths that seem implausible. The whole planet has NoOSHACompliance. It's very probable that the Roller Coaster really would realistically use a horrible, horrible safety system like that. Death is less of a dick than trying to point out all the mechanical flaws like only he knows... and the Voodoo Shark is gone.

* Out of all the deaths, one of the most disturbing and drawn out from the first one was the teacher's.

* That bloke getting impaled on acupuncture needles, almost burning to death and having his head crushed by a Buddha statue... Just... Damn.

** Something that is also comforting is that [[spoiler:the girl in that whole laser situation got saved by the protagonists, still makes the death possibly greusome and nightmarish, kinda like the car-wash death in final destination 4/The Final Destination.]]

* Many of the deaths are quite frightening. That, and [[YouCantFightFate the movies' premise]].
** Specifically, the opening disaster scenes, which prey on our everyday fears (flying, driving, carnival rides and now crossing bridges).

* [[Series/{{Mythbusters}} Busted]] or not, the tanning bed death in the third movie is still horrific.
* From the third movie, Erin's death. For extra ParanoiaFuel, the first video that shows after typing 'Death by nailgun' in Youtube's search bar is a clip of that exact scene. Coincidence much, or maybe this, too, is a part of Death's plan?
* The entire concept is bad enough. (Oh, you managed to avoid dying? Fine. Now your death will be several times more horrifying, painful, or both.) Then there are some of the deaths themselves. To this day, I am unable to listen to the song "Roller Coaster of Love" thanks to the third movie, where it played as two girls [[spoiler: were burned alive in tanning booths.]]
** That scene is the reason why I will never ever EVER use a tanning booth. The rest of the deaths seem hilarious, [[spoiler: okay, except for the ones at the end,]] but the thought of dying that way! Ugh! It doesn't help that where I am from, a 10-year-old girl managed to give herself something like 2nd degree burns to 70% of her body.
** As a avid roller coaster rider, the sequence at the beginning made this troper cringe. Granted coasters don't work that way (they use air for compression on the safety bars to keep them locked down during the high speeds. Not oil as shown here) and the whole thing implausibly started over a camera that was dropped and wrapped itself on the track. But the way the rest of the sequence was shot was still frighteningly realistic.
*** As a former theme park employee I would agree on the oil thing and the typical air compression system. Roller Coasters are taken care of every morning and have alarm systems if something is wrong with it just so things like that never happen. However, consider some of the deaths like the razor sharp swords at the school and other pointless deaths that seem implausible. The whole planet has no OSHA standards. It's very probable that the Roller Coaster really would realistically use a horrible horrible safety system like that. Death is less of a dick than trying to point out all the mechanical flaws like only he knows.......and the Voodoo Shark is gone.

* The nail was on the gymnastics bar was terrifying for some reason, I really thought she was going to slice her Achilles tendon or something. But when she actually did die, that was just, AHH. The fact that she's still twitching is even more horrific.
* The [[spoiler:LASIK surgery scene]] in the fifth movie. Holy crap.
** Oh Lord. The trailer featuring that scene started airing roughly two weeks before I was scheduled to get [[spoiler:LASIK.]] It turns out [[spoiler:LASIK]] doesn't work that way, which should be comforting, but really isn't.

** The scene in question is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MePuh3-6Q_8 here]], oh how I pity the curious. Don't watch if either you are planning on getting a LASIK operation or just have eyes.
** For extra ParanoiaFuel, the first video after searching 'Death by LASIK' On YouTube is a clip of that exact same scene. Coincidence?

* That bloke getting impaled on acupuncture needles, almost burning to death and having his head crushed by a Buddha statue... Just... Damn.
** This troper found that particular death hilarious. Not just because of the sheer karmic retribution present, but also because after taking one look at the statue, they knew that it would almost definitely be the final nail in the perv's coffin.

* [[{{Mythbusters}} Busted]] or not, the tanning bed death in the third movie is still horrific.

* That bloke getting impaled on acupuncture needles, almost burning to death and having his head crushed by a Buddha statue... Just... Damn.

*** [[SoBadItsGood Do]] watch if you are a laser enthusiast. The amount of inaccuracies in that scene will induce a healthy dose of [[{{Narm}} laughter]].

* I believe Bludworth to be nightmare fuel himself for various reasons: 1. He is played by The Candyman himself Tony Todd. 2. He knows more about death more than anyone else. 3. This is the big one: He may as well be the reaper himself and only gives the protagonists cryptic advice because he took pity on them. The other characters on the list were either already dead or too busy to talk to him.

** Oh, thank god I'm not alone! I also refuse to listen to that song as it freaks me out too much. It wasn't just the movie that did it though, it was also the story behind the song...
