There's no escaping the clutches of these grim horror flicks.

Short filmTranscript
00:00The world of horror is a cruel, cruel beast when it comes to the unfortunate characters who find
00:05themselves terrorised and tormented by whatever particular threat is rearing its sinister head.
00:10Whether it's miffed ghosts, the shuffling undead, savage creatures, or one of the plentiful other
00:15familiar big bad tropes, the villain of the piece is forever out to kill off all who get in its way.
00:21Whilst there's usually a victim or two who survived these movies, there are those rare
00:24examples where the crazed presence at the centre of a picture does the unthinkable and actually
00:29succeeds in slaughtering each and every one of its targets. So with that in mind, I'm Ellie for
00:35WhatCulture and here are horror movies where no one survives. Inbred. Receiving its premiere in 2011
00:43before a low-key release the following year, British horror film Inbred is definitely a picture that will
00:49stick with you long after its 90-minute runtime is up. Is Inbred particularly great? Well, that's
00:55questionable. What makes this Alex Chandon-helmed offering stand out, though, is its brimming with
01:00gratuitous, gruesome gore. Even now, over a decade since its release, Inbred remains a surprisingly
01:06jarring watch for those who've chosen to revisit it. Plot-wise, the movie centres on four troubled
01:12youths who were taken to a small Yorkshire village to carry out community service under the supervision
01:17of their two caretakers. But soon enough, the group find themselves not exactly welcomed with open
01:22arms by the locals of the area. As it turns out, the residents of said village like to brutalise
01:28any visitors in spectacular fashion. By that, it means that outsiders are kidnapped and then used
01:33as part of a creepy stage show put on by the locals for the locals, with such shows ultimately
01:39resulting in the death of these star attractions. Whether it's by chainsaw, gun, trampled by a horse,
01:45or even force-fed literal excrement until you burst, all six of Inbred's protagonists wind up dead.
01:52House of a Thousand Corpses
01:54Rob Zombie's directorial debut, House of a Thousand Corpses, infamously introduced the world to the
02:00Firefly family, a clan of twisted, murderous sorts. The Firefly crew would, of course, go on to cause
02:06chaos and carnage for a further two movies, with even their purported demise at the end of The
02:11Devil's Rejects not slowing them down enough to stop them rearing their heads once more in 2019's
02:17Three from Hell. As House of a Thousand Corpses opens up, the attention is on four friends travelling
02:22cross-country in order to pen a book on the most unique roadside attractions and events. Upon
02:27hearing from Captain Spaulding about the twisted legend of Dr. Satan, our buddies venture off to
02:33learn more about this sinister figure. Unfortunately for them, damage to their car means an initially
02:38warm stay at the nearby home of the Fireflies. By the end of Zombie's 2003 offering, the four
02:45friends become merely just another few notches on the Firefly family's bloody bedpost. For Bill,
02:51he's killed and sculpted into a fish boy. Mary is erratically, fatally stabbed by Baby. Jerry is
02:57tortured to death by the aforementioned Dr. Satan. And poor, poor Denise is maniacally hunted down by the
03:04Fireflies before she's last seen being operated on and presumably killed by Doc Satan. Unfriended.
03:10For every positive of social media, there are a handful of negatives, all usually due to the
03:16usual sort of idiots who have to ruin things for everyone else. In 2014's Unfriended, it's Facebook
03:22that's in the crosshairs, as a group of high school pals all end up dead by the time the picture rolls
03:28to a close. To set the stage, poor Laura Barnes took her own life after a video was circulated on
03:33Facebook of her drunkenly passed out and having soiled herself. Skip ahead a year and the friends
03:38involved in recording Laura are now seemingly haunted by her spirit. Being a tech-driven horror
03:44film, these hauntings actually play out through Skype chats, with Laura exacting revenge from
03:49beyond the grave and tormenting her supposed BFFs. By the time the penny drops that the mysterious,
03:54murderous Billy227 Skype user really is somehow the presence of Laura, it's too late for our core cast
04:01of teens, with them all winding up dead via bleach, blender, gunshot and, um, a curling iron shoved down
04:08the throat. Best of all, Laura then uploads the truth of this entire situation to Facebook herself,
04:13as the film ends with this miffed spirit lunging towards the camera.
04:17The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning
04:20The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning has one of the great so-near-but-so-far
04:25final kills, with Leatherface appearing in the backseat of an escaping car to slice up Chrissy.
04:31As a movie, the beginning is bang average, at best. But with the slaughtering of Chrissy,
04:36Leatherface had finished his job and made sure that the picture had zero survivors.
04:41This 2006 prequel picture details how Thomas Hewitt became Leatherface, and the film opens with an
04:46early death as Thomas' mother dies while giving birth to the future Chainsaw enthusiast.
04:51From there, the now-adult Tommy kills his boss before then getting the chance to carve up five
04:56pretty young things by the time the beginning wraps up, the last of these being the aforementioned Chrissy.
05:02Away from that, Leatherface also manages to kill off a couple of cops as audiences got to see
05:06Thomas Hewitt blossom into the butcher poster boy of the Texas Chainsaw franchise.
05:11As of this recording, Leatherface has been seen to have killed a total of 55 people,
05:17and the beginning was the picture that first gave us a glimpse at the maniac's formative years.
05:222001 Maniacs
05:24A loose remake of a 1964 movie that was inspired by a 1940s musical, Tim Sullivan's 2001 Maniacs is a great
05:32little popcorn horror flick. Set in the Georgia town of Pleasant Valley, this picture finds six
05:37college kids and a few bikers stumble upon said town just as the annual Guts and Glory celebrations
05:43are taking place to pay tribute to the American Civil War. In reality, the 2001 Maniacs of the title
05:49were the 2001 Confederate soldiers killed during that war, and Pleasant Valley itself is actually
05:55a cemetery site. After all, but two of our protagonists are slaughtered in some truly gruesome
06:00ways. The reveal of Pleasant Valley's truth is made once those two survivors managed to make it out of
06:05the town into a nearby sheriff's office. There, the duo are informed that Pleasant Valley no longer
06:10exists and that the site is nowadays a graveyard. Rightfully freaked out, our heroic pair pile onto a
06:16motorbike and drive off into the sunset, only to then be decapitated by a well-placed slice of barbed
06:21wire. With that, every one of this 2005 movie's key characters are nicely killed off.
06:28The Dyatlov Pass Incident
06:30From director Rennie Harlan, as in the helmet of the likes of Die Hard 2, Deep Blue Sea, Cliffhanger,
06:36and A Nightmare on L Street 4, the Dyatlov Pass Incident is loosely based on the real-life
06:41deaths and disappearances of nine hikers in 1959. In regards to the loosely based angle here,
06:48Harlan uses these disappearances as the launching point for a film that goes utterly nuts and throws
06:53time-travelling, mutants, and time-travelling mutants into the equation. Also known as Devil's
07:00Pass in some markets, this 2013 film focuses on five modern-day American students who head to the
07:06snowy Russian mountains where the events of 59 reportedly took place. Desperate to unravel the
07:12truth behind this mystery, three of the group wind up dead during the early goings of the picture,
07:18and the remaining duo then encounter the aforementioned mutants. Trapped in a minuscule
07:22bunker, the pair of Jensen and Holly have screeching beasts outside their door as a strange wormhole
07:28appears in their tiny temporary safe haven. Left with no choice, the two opt to step through the wormhole
07:34and end up sent back to 1959. As a result of this time travelling, Jensen and Holly have mutated as
07:41the realisation kicks in that they are indeed the exact same mutants who had been stalking their
07:46future selves in the present. So yeah, the Dyatlov Pass Incident is definitely a weird one from
07:53Rennie Harlan. Cabin Fever
07:55While some critics pandered Cabin Fever as a stereotypical horror film that treaded too closely
08:00to humour, it deserves to be respected as a darkly comic homage to low-budget horrors and gory bonanzas
08:07that came before it. You know when you're watching a film by Hostel's Eli Roth that things are going
08:11to get bloody and get bloody fast. The film follows a group of college teens escaping the stresses of
08:17college life by spending spring break in a remote cabin in the woods. I mean, who needs beaches when
08:22you can have desolate horror cabins? As they enjoy their holiday of debauchery, an infectious disease
08:28carried by a tainted water supply is being spread by less than accommodating locals and eventually
08:33between the survivors. One by one, each of the cabin goers is taken out by this infection that
08:39appears to be sexually transmitted. By the finale, only drunken coward Jeff remains who had hidden and
08:45drank off screen for a solid portion of the movie. Perhaps the only final death on this list that
08:50audiences found satisfying, an initially devastated but now celebratory Jeff is dispatched by the corrupt
08:56sheriff. Meanwhile, the townsfolk begin to sell lemonade and a truck filled with tainted water
09:01drives away, leaving us to pessimistically think who will be infected next. The Final Destinations
09:07series. Final Destinations 1 and 2 must be disqualified as there are a handful of survivors
09:12canonically left alive by the time the credits roll. Luckily, these films follow exactly the same
09:18three-step plot. Protagonist has vision, vision saves people, death is pissed. Where the variety and most
09:24definitely the watchability comes from is both the different initial deadly disaster and the
09:30various ways death rights the wrongs. In the final three movies, the disasters are a gnarly
09:35rollercoaster crash, an insane NASCAR pileup and a terrifying bridge collapse. Meanwhile, each film's
09:41survivors are saved by the clairvoyance of Wendy, Nick and Sam respectively. In extremely entertaining
09:47fashion, one by one the survivors are killed by natural accidents. Heavy emphasis on the term
09:53natural here. Such as car crashes, botched eye surgery in a rogue lawnmower and stone. However,
09:59the cherry on top of this ridiculously extravagant death cake is that when each group of final
10:04survivors think they've outplayed death, they are proved very wrong. Firstly, the remaining rollercoaster
10:10crew are thrown mercilessly from a runaway subway cart. Next, our NASCAR buddies are hit by a massive
10:16truck while sipping coffees. And finally, our bridge brigade board the same flight that crashes to start
10:22off the franchise. No one cheats death. Quarantine. So here's the thing with this entry. Quarantine and
10:28its Spanish predecessor Wreck are essentially the same film in two different languages. Because of
10:34this, the original Wreck is the superior film. However, for those that want to watch a horror film
10:39without having to translate, Quarantine is a more than adequate English counterpart. Both are harrowing
10:45found footage films that get progressively more chilling. But for this list, Quarantine has the advantage
10:51of leaving no survivors. Both films follow a camera crew and their subjects, a firefighting
10:56station, as they are called out to an emergency in an apartment building. And once they find
11:01themselves there, are locked inside before they can complete their job. Once there, they slowly but
11:06surely find the apartment building ravished with infected, rabid residents who want to infect and
11:11kill anything in its path. One by one, the fighters, crew, and remaining residents are taken out,
11:16whilst Angela and her cameraman film in shocked horror. Eventually, they are cornered in the penthouse
11:22building by a spine-tingling creature that butchers the cameraman, and in the film's final
11:27shot, drags a sobbing Angela to her demise. 28 weeks later. For years, there have been whispers that
11:34Danny Boyle's stellar duology of the infected would become a trilogy. Many beg that day to come,
11:40but until then, 28 weeks later remains the final entry in the series. In fashion with the series,
11:46Boyle gives us a disturbing ending of hopelessness to round off an enthralling film. For the first
11:52half, 28 weeks later, follows Robert Carlyle's Don, a survivor forced to leave his wife and friends
11:58behind in the Hope Sanctuary. Perhaps the most intense start to a movie ever, where all but Don
12:03dies should have given everyone a clue for what was to come, but hindsight is 20-20. Eventually,
12:09Don is reunited with his children and his wife, perplexed but grateful about her survival.
12:14Yay! Well, the yays stop here, sadly. Don's wife is a carrier, and one kiss later,
12:20Don is infected and brutally beats his tied-down wife to death. The perspective switches to the
12:25young two children, who are forced to flee with military members played by Rose Byrne and Avengers
12:31own Jeremy Renner, whilst old papa spreads the infection through the quarantined London.
12:36Hawkeye is burned alive whilst Byrne is beaten to death with her own gun, whilst Don is eventually
12:41shot by his own daughter and the siblings are flown to safety. The final shot shows an empty chopper
12:47and an overran Paris. Bleak isn't strong enough a word. The Blair Witch Project. For those just now
12:54experiencing the horror genre, you will never truly understand how innovative and ingenious the
13:00Blair Witch Project was at the turn of the century. Whilst horror was largely going down a campy,
13:05self-aware route thanks to Scream, Blair Witch offered fans the found footage genre, where the
13:11experience felt real and terror and paranoia were at the top of the agenda. The frightening flick
13:16follows three friends, Heather, Josh and Mike, who, like in paranormal activity, were played by
13:22themselves, hiking through a creepy forest on the hunt for local legend, the titular Blair Witch.
13:28Though things start out innocently, soon things go bump in the night and the crew lose all sight of
13:33their bearings. Josh is suddenly lost and following hearing his screams, Heather finds fragments of
13:38Josh, including his shirt, teeth and tongue, by a tree. With one down, it was just a matter of time
13:44before the duo would become separated. They once again follow Josh's screams to an abandoned house.
13:50Have they learned nothing from horror movies? And Mike is attacked off screen. When Heather finds him,
13:55Mike is standing facing the wall, possessed in what has become an iconic shot in horror history.
14:00Heather resigns to her fate, recording a farewell before being attacked. Never track a witch, kids.
14:07Dawn of the Dead
14:08When Zack Snyder watched the original Dawn of the Dead, you can just imagine him saying,
14:13it's good, but I wish it was more badass. In 2004, Snyder and James Gunn brought that vision
14:19to life with an awesome, action-packed and quirky zombie extravaganza. The story mainly follows Anna,
14:25who goes from timid nurse to final girl material in record time. Snyder right away showed he'd be
14:32pulling no punches by doing a truly rare trope in horror movies, killing a small child. The first
14:37zombie we see is an adorable little girl who adorably rips Anna's husband's throats out with
14:42merciless power and ungodly speed that will make you jump every single time. It appears Snyder saw
14:49more shambling corpses and once again went more badass, leading us to some of the most terrifying
14:55zombies on the big screen. Eventually, a group forms within a shopping mall and after realizing
15:00they can't stay there, turn buses into deathmobiles and head out to the docks to ride Steve's boat off
15:06into the sunset. Obviously, things go awry and after chainsaws, zombies, explosions and secret zombie
15:13bites, we are left with a small pocket of survivors. However, just when you think they're safe,
15:18the credits turn to found footage which shows the survivors out of gas pulling up to an island
15:23crawling with zombies. There is no way they're getting out of that one. Night of the Living Dead
15:291968. Night of the Living Dead is filmmaker George A. Romero's revolutionary horror masterpiece.
15:36It's the film that changed how horror was seen and made and its influence on horror cinema is still
15:41prevalent to this day. A group tries to take shelter in a farmhouse and end up fighting for survival
15:47as the dead begin to rise. The movie is over 50 years old, but it remains an incredibly
15:52influential one. It was the first time a horror picture was led by an African-American actor
15:58and it was one peppered with socio-political commentary. But it's the shocking way in which
16:03the film ends that made audiences gasp. Ben, the last survivor of the zombie hordes, leaves the farmhouse
16:10for supposed safety, and is shot by armed men after being mistaken for a ghoul.
16:15The Crazies. 2010. Whilst you can argue that the 2010 remake of The Crazies isn't quite a zombie
16:22movie, the actual concept and structure certainly makes it feel like one. Based on the 1973 George
16:28A. Romero movie of the same name, this 2010 effort deals with a small group of survivors attempting to
16:34work together to escape the town and The Crazies. Structurally, it has all the hallmarks of your
16:40typical zombie experience, except here the infection isn't passed through bites. It's ingested thanks to
16:46a weaponized biological agent that's accidentally found its way into the town's water supply.
16:52Unlike other similar movies where the survivors escape and leave behind a location still filled
16:57with the infected, The Crazies features a nuclear bomb being dropped to destroy the town
17:02and hopefully all remnants of the agent. Timothy Oliphant and Radha Mitchell's surviving couple
17:08is seen walking away towards a new city when the film ends. That is, until a satellite spots them
17:14and the chilling on-screen text suddenly reads,
17:17Initiate Containment Protocol, basically sealing the pair's fate. A mid-credits news report sequence
17:23also shows footage of soldiers battling with the infected in the aftermath of the explosion.
17:28Wreck 3. Genesis. Wreck 3 is the third installment
17:32in the Spanish-bound footage horror franchise and acts as both a prequel and a parallel to
17:37the original two movies. Also, surprisingly, it's the first in the franchise that suddenly
17:42decides to switch to traditional filming about a third of the way into the movie.
17:47It's Koldo and Clara's wedding day and the celebrations are abruptly interrupted
17:51when an infected veterinarian, which connects the movies, becomes aggressive and starts biting
17:57the other guests. It's a blood-soaked affair and Koldo and Clara, now infected herself,
18:03share one last kiss before they're gunned down by police outside the venue as it becomes the subject
18:08of a quarantine. Pet Sematary, 1989. When the Creed family move into their new home in Ludlow, Maine,
18:15they were probably hoping for a lot less reanimation. After the family cat is killed on the highway
18:22outside their home, neighbor Judd suggests that family patriarch Lewis takes it beyond the pet
18:27cemetery near their property and buries it in an ancient Native American burial ground. He does,
18:33and the following day, the once-dead cat arrives back at the home alive, but not quite right.
18:39Later, the young Gage Creed dies in a horrific accident on the highway, and Lewis, against all
18:45warnings, buries his son in the same place. Gage returns with malevolence and kills both the
18:51neighbor and his mother. Lewis fights off his reanimated son, finally injecting him with morphine
18:57to kill him, and he takes his wife's body to the cemetery to bring her back. She obliges,
19:03and in her undead state, comes back and stabs Lewis to death as the screen goes black.
19:09Pontypool. In 2011's Canadian horror Pontypool, we hear a lot more than we see.
19:15The town of Pontypool has been quarantined. The French transmission, once translated,
19:20instructed, instructs listeners to stay indoors and to avoid using the English language and other
19:25certain phrases. This is discovered to be the source of this strange virus, and all those who
19:31hear it are changed. Grant discovers that by manipulating language, you can control it and
19:36help anyone infected, even helping to reverse the symptoms altogether. However, the local authorities
19:42have different plans and decide to blow up the radio station to prevent any further spread.
19:48Later, it was confirmed by news reports that the quarantine was a failure, and the virus just
19:53kept on spreading. The movie plays out like a bottle episode of a TV show, and it's a very creative
19:58way of telling a zombie-themed story, and one which you can imagine the apocalyptic nightmare sitting
20:03just outside those doors. Day of the Dead 2. Contagion. The off-slam-based Day of the Dead 2.
20:10Contagion was a direct-to-video effort from co-directors Anna Clavel and James Duddleson.
20:16It was confusingly marketed to the general public as both a sequel and a prequel to that of George
20:22A. Romero's 1985 zombie threequel Day of the Dead, despite having nothing to do with the original
20:27film whatsoever. A group of patients and their doctor discover a strange thermos buried out in
20:34their hospital yard. Once opened, it releases a deadly virus into the building, turning the infected
20:40into flesh-starved ghouls. Contagion is a movie built with low-budget run-of-the-mill zombie action,
20:46and by the movie's lacklustre conclusion, almost everyone in the hospital has been infected,
20:52bar a few survivors. Some of the already infected try to pressure these survivors into turning
20:57themselves, but with a suicidal sacrifice, the last man standing makes it impossible for him to become
21:03one of the living dead, stating that, quote, in the end, the only way to truly defeat death
21:09is by the act of dying.
21:12Dead Set
21:12If you were told that there was a zombie TV series taking place on the set of Big Brother
21:16without knowing about Dead Set, you would probably think it was some sort of dark comedy in a similar
21:20vein to Shaun of the Dead, right? Well, as it turns out, Dead Set is not only super intense,
21:25but also incredibly depressing. The show was always full of brutal and nerve-wracking encounters with
21:29the undead, but the series finale managed to crank its levels of brutality to the absolute maximum.
21:33The series ends with the mansion being overrun by the zombie horde, which kill every single
21:37character you've grown to love or care for over the course of the show one by one. The scene where
21:42hero Kelly convinces Space to let her out of the diary room, hoping to make a run for it only so
21:46that she can get immediately sworn by the horde, is so shockingly bleak. It goes to show you how
21:50hopeless their fight for survival was from the very beginning. And to add more salt to your tears,
21:54the final shot of the episode shows zombie Space and Kelly looking at each other through the camera.
21:59Midnight Mass
22:00Midnight Mass is a captivating horror story about the isolated community of Crockett Island,
22:05which begins to experience all kinds of supernatural phenomena after the arrival of
22:09a mysterious priest. The show's finale is fiery and gruesome, but also oddly heartwarming,
22:13and not just because of the flames. By episode 7, the entire population of Crockett Island has either
22:17been killed or turned into vampires, save for the few survivors who want to prevent the monsters from
22:22ever leaving the island. Father Paul's flock falls under the control of the fanatical Bev who wants to
22:26burn down the island but leave the church and the recreation center to shelter the vampires from
22:30sunlight. The survivors try to destroy the buildings but ultimately fail and get killed.
22:34Their sacrifice is not in vain, however, as it awakens something in the undead congregation that
22:39quickly turn against Bev. Consequently, the people burn down the church and the rec center and then
22:43prepare themselves for the upcoming sunrise, singing in unison. In the end, only two kids,
22:48Lisa and Warren, survive the island's destruction by escaping on Warren's boat, and their departure means that
22:53Crockett Island will forever remain an empty and destroyed ghost town.
22:57Shiki
22:57In terms of its premise, Shiki scares a few similarities with Midnight Mass. Both shows are
23:02about isolated communities becoming breeding grounds for vampires, and both of them end up with their
23:06communities being burned down completely when the tensions between the living and the undead reach
23:10their climax. But the main difference between the shows is that here, the show actually tries to
23:13make its audience sympathize with the vampires a little bit. The town folk turned into the titular
23:17Shiki are shown to have retained most of their human qualities, and they appear to only just want to
23:21survive in this world, just like the rest of the town. This is why when the Shiki's existence becomes
23:26exposed and the humans decide to kill them all, the carnage that ensues hits the viewer especially
23:30hard. Pretty much every single scene during the burning down of the town of Sotaba shows its
23:34vampiric citizens getting staked, burned, and even tortured by their own family members.
23:38At the end of the final episode, we see Saishin and Sunako driving away from the carnage. Though they
23:43make it out of the town with their own lives, the town's destruction is a clear sign that they can never
23:47escape humanity's wrath. Strangers from Hell
23:50Strangers from Hell is a brilliant Korean thriller about a young man living in a dormitory with a
23:54cast of strange neighbors, all of whom seem to be hiding a dark secret. The show does an amazing
23:59job of portraying the issues of modern Korean society, exposing the pressure it exudes on its
24:03poor and destitute members, all while delivering a truly tense and disturbing story with a twist that
24:08is short to blow anyone's mind. The story of the main character, Yoon Yong-woo, was bound to end with
24:12murder and death, but no one expected that it would be him who would be killing his creepy neighbors.
24:16Well, to be fair, the show was building up to this moment, leading plenty of closers to why he would
24:20become an unhinged killer. We see how much he is struggling with his past and how nobody in the
24:24present seems to treat his concerns seriously, and this is why, ultimately, he falls for Moon-woo's
24:28brainwashing, and why he ends up killing the psychotic dentist along with his neighbors. The show
24:33pulls off an incredible twist by revealing that it was the protagonist that was the killer all along,
24:37all the while delivering an important but very disturbing message.
24:40Terror Season 1
24:41The Terror is a brilliant retelling of the tragic events of the Arctic expositions of the HMS
24:46Terror and HMS Erebus, which mixes the real-life events of the expedition with supernatural
24:50occurrences to create a one-of-a-kind psychological thriller.
24:54Now, those that have watched the series finale might say that when compared to the historical
24:57events and the novel, the show's kill count is actually missing one person. After all,
25:01the captain is shown to be alive in the final shot. However, given the narrative of the terror
25:04and how it showcases that the British explorer's arrogance and trust in technology ultimately led to
25:09their demise, the new life to which the captain adapts to after all of his crew is gone
25:12feels like a death scene all its own. As the sole survivor of the tragedy, the captain acknowledges
25:16the error of his and his men's ways. He ultimately chooses to abandon his old life, and the final
25:21scene is meant to show you that what was left of him gave way to a completely different man.
25:25And the words of the translator in the final scene only confirm this, which are,
25:28tell them we are gone.
25:30Supernatural
25:31Supernatural is a cult dark fantasy television series that aired for a whopping 15 years,
25:37and although it certainly lost much of its initial fear factor throughout its incredibly long
25:40lifespan, it certainly didn't diminish its fans' attachment to the main cast. And after 15 seasons
25:45and 327 episodes, the series finally came to an end in 2020, delivering an incredibly emotional
25:50collusion to the story of Sam and Dean. By the end of the series, all of the Winchester family
25:54are gone. Sam and Dean's relatives have long since fallen victim to demons that they were
25:58fighting, and eventually Dean suffers the same fate. Well, he actually died several times
26:01throughout the show, but this one somehow managed to stick with him permanently. Dean gets impaled
26:05by a vampire, leaving Sam distraught. Eventually, however, Sam learns to move on
26:09and starts a new family of his own. At the end of the final episode, Sam is old and on
26:12his deathbed, and when he finally draws his last breath, we see him appear in heaven to
26:16finally reunite with his brother.
26:18Death Note
26:18It shouldn't come as a surprise that in an anime like Death Note, the main cast of characters
26:22didn't really have a huge chance of surviving. If there's one message that the show has tried
26:26to highlight the most, it's that every choice has its consequences. Death Note follows the
26:30life of Light Yagami, a brilliant young man who, after acquiring the titular Death Note,
26:34which allows him to kill anyone whose name is written into the book, becomes a justice-obsessed
26:38vigilante known to the rest of the world as Kira. Throughout the series, Light comes across
26:41many people trying to expose him as Kira, including his arch-nemesis L, and acquires
26:45a handful of allies to help him carry out his mission. By the end of all things, all of his
26:49allies are six feet under, and Light shares their fate shortly after, as the Death God,
26:53who he's been using like a puppet, uses the Death Note against him. Right up until his very
26:57last moment, Light believes he's outsmarted everyone, but his death immediately shows him
27:01that, in the end, he was really just a puppet of more sinister forces. Light dies alone,
27:05and his legacy dies with him. Shortly after his death, his last remaining companion,
27:09his fiancée, is seen standing on the ledge of a building, implying that she's about to kill herself.
27:13American Horror Story Murder House
27:15Now, the early seasons of American Horror Story are where the show was truly at its peak. The
27:20first season, Murder House, set an alarmingly terrifying tone for the entire series, in fact.
27:24Murder House follows the story of the Harmons after they move to Los Angeles. They're trying to
27:28get a fresh start after a traumatic miscarriage, but much to their continued dismay, their lives change
27:32only for the worse. The family has to deal with hauntings, violent break-ins, and plenty of murders
27:36as their whole world slowly falls apart. By the end of the season, all of the Harmons are dead,
27:40their souls forever trapped in the Murder House. Their family of ghosts decides to act as guardians
27:44of the house to prevent any more deaths from happening there. And at that point, you could think
27:48that the Harmons' fate is maybe not so bad, especially seeing as they are even shown happily
27:51celebrating Christmas together. But unfortunately for them, even death couldn't keep them away from
27:55Tate. On top of that, the only thing that's left of their time in the house is a literal
27:59spawn of Satan. So yeah, one to avoid on Airbnb, that one.
