List of Final Destination characters

Final Destination is an American horror franchise consisting of five feature films. There have also been tennovelizations and novels, and two comic books composed of six issues in total. Each medium features a protagonist who experiences a premonition of himself/herself and several others dying in a catastrophic accident, only to escape the event with a handful of other characters moments before it turns into a reality. The survivors die later on through a series of elaborate and often gory scenarios that frequently resemble Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity.

Despite depicting homicide, the series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre in that the "villain" of the films is not the stereotypical slasher or beast, but the entity Death itself (occasionally seen as a fleeting shadow or a gust of wind) which manipulates the environment in deadly ways with the intent of reclaiming the lives of the survivors.

As of Final Destination 5, there are 506 known deaths in the films, 183 known in the novels, and 754 known in the comic books. Counted deaths only include those who died in the protagonist's initial premonition and those who died along the survivors. Characters are listed in alphabetical order, and are arranged by chronological appearance. Unnecessary characters are excluded, for example, those who do not affect the story heavily.

Alex Browning

Further information: Alex Browning

Alexander Theodore "Alex" Browning (portrayed by Devon Sawa) is the protagonist and visionary of Final Destination. He is one of the survivors of Flight 180, and the sixth survivor to die.

Alex was a senior at Mt. Abraham High School who boarded Volee Airlines Flight 180 with his classmates for their senior trip to Paris, France. Before take-off, Alex had a premonition that a catastrophic engine failure would cause the plane to explode in mid-air, killing everyone on board. When the events from his vision begin to repeat themselves, he panics and is thrown off the plane along with six others, who witness the plane explode moments later. Over the next several months, the survivors begin to die one by one in a series of bizarre accidents, and after learning that Death is still after them, Alex attempts to find a way to cheat Death's plan. Six months later, Alex, Clear Rivers and Carter Horton travel to Paris, believing they have finally "cheated" Death, but their efforts prove futile when Carter is suddenly killed by a large neon sign. It is revealed in Final Destination 2 that following the events of the first film, Alex was bludgeoned by a falling brick. Alex was mentioned again in Final Destination 3 and seen in archive footage in Final Destination 5.

Billy Hitchcock

Seann William Scott portrayed Billy Hitchcock in Final Destination.

William "Billy" Hitchcock (portrayed by Seann William Scott) [1] is one of the survivors of Flight 180. He is the fourth survivor to die.

Billy was a student at Mt. Abraham High School, and a main target of Carter Horton's bullying. [2] He was supposed to board Flight 180 with his classmates for their senior trip to Paris, but got stuck in the airport's restroom before the plane's departure. He arrives just as Alex Browning and Carter Horton are being thrown off the plane, and is forced off as well after being caught in the commotion, and witnesses the plane explode in mid-air shortly after. Afterwards he attends the memorial service for the victims. He later encounters the other survivors at a cafe, where he witnesses Terry Channey's death. After Ms. Lewton's death, he reunites with the other survivors to discuss what they should do. As they ride through town in Carter's car, Carter learns that he is next on Death's list and begins to drive recklessly through town, wanting to die on his own terms. When Carter parks his car on railroad tracks, he becomes trapped, but Alex manages to save him just seconds before his car is smashed by an oncoming train. As Billy warns the others to stay away from Carter, he is suddenly decapitated by flying shrapnel from the car wreckage. Because of this, Alex realizes that Death will skip whoever is next if someone else intervenes.[3] Billy was mentioned again in Final Destination 2 by Officer Thomas Burke, who says that he was ordered to clean up Billy's remains when a call came in about a robbery, but his partner decided to handle it alone and was killed in a shootout.[4] Billy's death is shown again in x-ray format during the opening credits of The Final Destination and again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.[5][6]

He awakens just as Blake and Christa ask him to switch seats, just like in his premonition, and starts to panic. Disregarding Alex's warning, she stays on the plane and is incinerated among 286 other passengers. Later on, Alex realizes that it is not his turn to die, since he never changed seats with Blake and Christa, unlike his original premonition.[3]

Carter Horton

Carter Horton (portrayed by Kerr Smith) [1] is one of the survivors of Flight 180. He is the fifth survivor to die.

Carter was a student at Mt. Abraham High School, and an antagonist to Alex Browning and Billy Hitchcock. He boarded Flight 180 with his girlfriend Terry Channey for their senior trip to Paris. When Alex warns everyone that the plane will explode, Carter believes that he is making it up as a joke and attacks him. As a result, they are both thrown off the plane, along with five others who witness the plane explode shortly after. Carter refuses to admit that Alex saved him, and later confronts him at a cafe where they witness Terry's death. The survivors later reunite and Alex explains that Death is still after them. When Carter learns that he is next on Death's list he parks his car on railroad tracks, wanting to die on his own terms. He changes his mind at the last minute, but cannot get out when his seat belt jams. Alex manages to save Carter just seconds before his car is smashed by an oncoming train, and Death skips him. Six months later, Carter visits Paris with Alex and Clear Rivers to celebrate their survival. Shortly after Alex explains that Death never skipped him, Carter saves him from being hit by a large neon sign. When Alex tells Carter that Death has now skipped him, Carter asks who is next, and is suddenly hit by the sign. This reveals that once Death has skipped everyone it will go back to the top of the list and start over again.

Their classmate Tod Waggner had a crush on both of them, and planned to spend the flight trying to get with them.[2] Before the plane's departure, Alex Browning has a vision that the plane will explode in mid-air. He awakens just as Christa asks him to change seats, just like in his vision, and panics. Disregarding Alex's warning, she stays on the plane and is incinerated among 286 other passengers. Later, Alex realizes that it is not his turn to die, since he never changed seats with Blake and Christa, unlike his original premonition.[3] [7]

Clear Rivers

Further information: Clear Rivers

Clear Marie Rivers (portrayed by Ali Larter) [1][8] was a character who appeared in Final Destination and Final Destination 2. She is the seventh and final survivor of Flight 180 to die.

Clear was one of the students who boarded Flight 180 for her senior trip to Paris.[2] When Alex Browning warns everyone that the plane will explode, Clear is the only one who believes him, and she leaves the plane along with six others, who witness the plane explode shortly after. At the memorial service, she is the only one who thanks Alex for saving her, and gives him a rose to show her gratitude. After Tod Waggner's death, she and Alex sneak into the morgue to see his body. There they encounter William Bludworth, who warns them that Death is still after the survivors. Clear is initially skeptical, until the other survivors start to die. After saving Carter Horton, Alex distances himself from the group, believing that he is next on Death's list. He later learns that Clear is actually next, and rushes to her house to save her. Meanwhile, Clear is trapped inside her car, which is leaking gas fluid, and surrounded by live wires. Alex arrives in time to save Clear, and grabs the wire allowing her to escape from the car seconds before it explodes, and Death skips her. Six months later, Clear, Alex, and Carter travel to Paris, to celebrate their survival; however, after Alex narrowly avoids Death, they both witness Carter's demise[3] and realize that Death's plan is still in action.

In Final Destination 2, it is revealed that Clear is the last survivor of Flight 180, and has committed herself to a mental institution to protect herself from Death. She is visited by Kimberly Corman, who asks her to help her save the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up. She initially refuses, but later introduces Kimberly and Thomas Burke to Bludworth, who tells them that only "new life" can defeat Death. This leads them to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will ruin Death's plan, and they will all be safe. She, Kimberly, and Thomas manage to save Isabella and her baby, but Kimberly later realizes that Isabella was never meant to die in the pile-up, and was therefore not on Death's List. Clear searches for Eugene Dix at the hospital, but accidentally causes his room to explode from an oxygen combustion, incinerating them both.[4] Clear's death is shown in x-ray format during the opening credits of The Final Destination and seen again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.[5][6]

Larry Murnau

Laurent "Larry" Murnau was a French teacher at Mt. Abraham High School, and was in charge of chaperoning the students on their trip to Paris. He was portrayed by Forbes Angus.[1]

Larry was very fluent in the French language, which is why he was selected to guide the students on their field trip to Paris.[2] After several students are removed from the plane, Ms. Valerie Lewton volunteers to stay behind and look after the students until the next flight, and sends Mr. Murnau back on the plane. The plane explodes shortly after, and he is incinerated among 286 others. His death affected Ms. Lewton the most, who became guilt-ridden, holding herself responsible for his death.[3] Larry was briefly seen via archive footage in Final Destination 5.[5]

Agent Schreck

Special Agent Schreck was an FBI, portrayed by Roger Guenveur Smith.[1] He is the partner of Agent Weine.

He and Agent Weine interrogated the survivors, following the explosion of Flight 180, and become suspicious of Alex Browning. They keep a close eye on Alex, and their suspicion grows when the survivors begin to die on by one. At the end, he and Agent Weine attempt to arrest Alex and chase him into the woods, but after they witness Alex rescuing Clear Rivers,[3] Alex is cleared of suspicion.

When Alex Browning warns everyone that the plane will explode, Carter attacks him, and is thrown off the plane. Terry follows him off the plane as well, and witnesses the plane explode shortly after. After the accident, Terry is ignored by Carter, who seems more interested in starting fights with Alex. While driving past a cafe, Carter sees Alex and instigates another fight. After scolding Carter, Terry storms off in anger, and is suddenly hit by a speeding bus.[3] Terry was mentioned in Final Destination 2 by Kat Jennings, who says that she was on her way to a bed and breakfast when the bus she was riding hit Terry. As a result she avoided a gas leak that suffocated the staff and guests staying in the lodge.[4] Terry's death was referenced during the opening credits of The Final Destination, and she is seen again via archive footage in Final Destination 5.[5][6]

Tod Waggner

Tod Waggner (portrayed by Chad Donella) [1] is one of the survivors of Flight 180. He was the first survivor of Flight 180 to die.

Tod was a student at Mt. Abraham High School, and Alex Browning's best friend. He boarded Flight 180 with Alex and his brother George for their senior trip to Paris. When Alex had a premonition that the plane would explode, George instructed Tod to go check on him, and Tod witnessed the plane explode shortly after. The Waggners blamed Alex for George's death, and Tod's friendship with Alex became distant. Tod later delivered a farewell speech at the memorial service. That night, while Tod is in his bathroom, the toilet begins to leak, causing him to slip and fall into the bathtub. The clothes line wraps around Tod's neck and slowly suffocates him as he desperately attempts to free himself, but he eventually dies. His death is deemed a suicide. Tod is mentioned by Kimberly Corman in Final Destination 2, who says that she went shopping with her mother, but got distracted by a news piece on Tod's death, while her mother was killed by car thieves outside.

Valerie "Val" Lewton, or Ms. Lewton (portrayed by Kristen Cloke) [1] is one of the survivors of Flight 180. She is the third survivor to die.

Ms. Lewton, a teacher at Mt. Abraham High School, is chosen to chaperone the students on their field trip to Paris. After a handful of students are thrown off the plane, Ms. Lewton volunteers to stay behind and look after them, convincing Larry Murnau to get back on the plane. She witnesses the plane explode shortly after, which she holds Alex Browning responsible for. Among all the Flight 180 survivors, she externalizes her guilt the most for causing Larry's death, and prepares to leave town to restart her life. While packing her things, her coffee mug cracks, and vodka leaks all over the floor and into a computer monitor. The computer explodes, sending shrapnel into her neck, and the sparks ignite the trail of vodka, which leads to a bottle sitting on top of the counter. When the bottle explodes, the counter catches fire, and Ms. Lewton falls to the floor. She reaches for a rag sitting on top of a rack of knives on the counter, but it tips over and one of the knives falls into her chest. Alex arrives shortly after, but the oven explodes, causing a chair to fall on top of her and push the knife deeper into her chest, killing her. The fire eventually spreads and incinerates her whole house, as Alex flees.[3] Ms. Lewton is mentioned in Final Destination 2 by Eugene Dix, who says that he was substituting for Ms. Lewton after her death, when a homicidal student from his previous job killed his substitute.[4] Ms. Lewton's death was shown in x-ray format during the opening credits of The Final Destination and she appeared again via archive footage at the end of Final Destination 5.[5]

Agent Weine

Special Agent Weine was an FBI agent, portrayed by Daniel Roebuck.[1] He is Agent Schreck's assistant.

He and Agent Schreck interrogate the survivors, following the explosion of Flight 180, and become suspicious of Alex Browning. They keep a close eye on Alex, and their suspicion grows when the survivors began to die one by one. At the end, he and Agent Schreck attempt to arrest Alex and chase him into the woods, but after they witness Alex rescue Clear Rivers, Alex is cleared of suspicion.[3]

William Bludworth

Further information: William Bludworth

William "Bill" Bludworth is a mysterious mortician who appears in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5.[1][8][9] He was portrayed by Tony Todd.[3][4][5]

Tony Todd portrayed William Bludworth in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5. Additionally, Todd made a voice-over cameo in Final Destination 3.

Bludworth has the most knowledge of Death, although it is unclear how. Some have speculated that he has survived Death's list, or is in fact Death himself. In the first film Alex Browning and Clear Rivers sneak inside Bludworth's morgue to see Tod Waggner's corpse. After Bludworth catches them he explains that they have ruined Death's plan, and Death is now claiming the lives of those who were meant to die in the explosion, unless they can find a way to "cheat" Death's plan.[3] In Final Destination 2, Bludworth is visited by Clear, Kimberly Corman, and Thomas Burke, to acquire more knowledge, and explains that only "new life" can defeat Death,[4] leading the three to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will interfere with Death's list and they will all be safe. In Final Destination 5, Bludworth ominously watches the survivors of the North Bay bridge collapse, and when confronted by Sam Lawton, Molly Harper, Peter Friedkin, and Nathan Sears he warns them about Death and tells them that by killing someone else they can acquire that person's remaining lifespan.[5]

Brian Gibbons was a teenage farmer, portrayed by Noel Fisher.[8] Although he is originally not on Death's list, Brian's death is prevented by Rory Peters, adding him to the list.[4]

Brian was the son of a wealthy farmer, who resided near the 180 Mile Marker of Greenwood Lake, New York.[4][10] After Kat Jennings's SUV crashes onto their farm, Brian and his family try to help them. Rory pulls Brian out of the path of a speeding news van, which appeared out of nowhere at the last second, unknowingly adding him to Death's list.

En route, Kimberly has a premonition of a massive pile-up, in which a semi truck smashes into her SUV, killing all four of them. As a result, Kimberly stalls her SUV to prevent other drivers from entering the freeway. After Officer Thomas Burke tells Kimberly to exit the car, Dano, Shaina, and Frankie, are killed by the same truck from Kimberly's premonition. His death is referenced in the opening credits of The Final Destination and seen again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5. [4]

Dr. Ellen Kalarjian was a physician, portrayed by Enid-Raye Adams.[8]

Dr. Kalarjian worked at the Lakeview Hospital in Greenwood Lake, New York.[4][10] In the film, Kimberly has a premonition of what she believes is Dr. Kalarjian "strangling" Isabella Hudson, during child labor. At the hospital, she is requested by Isabella's obstetrician and Officer Thomas Burke immobilizes her as Isabella gives birth. Soon after, Eugene Dix's room blows up, prompting her to move a crash cart among victims. Moments later, she resuscitates Kimberly from drowning in Greenwood Lake, which turns out to be Kimberly's actual premonition.

Eugene Dix

Eugene Dix (portrayed by Terrence C. Carson) [8] was one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up. He was the sixth survivor to die.[4]

Eugene was a high school teacher.[4][10] Prior to the crash, he was substituting for Ms. Valerie Lewton at Mt. Abraham High School, and one of the students from his old school stabbed his substitute teacher during class.[4][10] In the film, Kimberly Corman has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23, in which Eugene's motorcycle crushes his torso after he skids across the road. Although he is initially skeptical that Death is still after the survivors, he meets up with the other survivors at Thomas Burke's apartment, where he witnesses Nora Carpenter's death. A horrified Eugene steals Thomas' gun and attempts suicide, wanting to die on his own terms, but this fails despite the fact the gun was fully loaded. Clear Rivers explains that this is because it wasn't his turn to die yet. Afterwards, the remaining survivors leave to find Isabella Hudson. On the way there, Kat Jennings' SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van and they swerve onto a nearby farm. Several PVC pipes penetrate the car, and puncture Eugene's lung and he is rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Numbed by hypoxia he helplessly watches as the vents close, the tubes of his oxygen tanks snap, and the power plug of his defibrillator disengages. The machine's emergency mode activates and revives him, but Clear Rivers abruptly opens his door which completely detaches the plug, creating a spark that ignites the oxygen and creates a huge fire throughout his room, that incinerates both him and Clear.[4]

Eugene's death was referenced in the opening credits of The Final Destination and he was seen again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.

[11][12][13][14][15]

Evan was a recent lottery winner.[4][10] In the film, Kimberly Corman has a premonition in which Evan's new car crashes into a log truck's oil tank, engulfing him in flames until a semi-trailer truck runs him over, and she prevents him and several others from entering the highway. Afterwards he is brought to the police station for questioning, and is interrogated by Detective Suby. After being released he returns to his apartment, and heats up some noodles in the microwave, unaware that a refrigerator magnet has fallen in, while he pan-fries mozzarella sticks. While listening to his voicemail and trying on his new jewelry, his microwave begins to spark, startling him and causing him to drop his new ring down the sink. When he reaches into the drain, his watch causes his wrist to get stuck. The stove begins to flare, and he attempts to put out the fire with his shirt, causing the pan to fall, and setting his entire apartment on fire. When he finally frees his hand he tries to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but it stalls. Desperate, Evan smashes the windows, escaping seconds before his apartment explodes. Evan climbs down the escape ladder, however, as he walks away he slips on old spaghetti (which he irresponsibly threw out the window just moments earlier), and the ladder falls, impaling his right eye. This alarms the other survivors, who watch news coverage of his death.[4]

Evan's death is seen in X-ray format during the opening credits of The Final Destination, and he is seen again in archive footage in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.[11][16]

In the film, Kimberly Corman blocks the entrance ramp, preventing Isabella from entering the highway before a major pile-up occurs. When Kimberly discovers that Death is still after the survivors she learns that "new life" can break the chain, and Isabella is apprehended by Deputy Steve Adams under Officer Thomas Burke's orders to protect her from Death. While in jail her water breaks and Deputy Adams rushes her to the hospital. On the road, Kat Jennings' SUV almost collides with Isabella's van; nonetheless, she arrives at the hospital unharmed. At the hospital, Kimberly has another vision of Isabella's physician, Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, "strangling" her. Thomas stops Dr. Kalarjian from disrupting her pregnancy, and she successfully delivers her son. This leads them to believe that they have cheated Death, however, Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never meant to die in the pile-up, and was therefore never on Death's list.[4][11][16]

Kat Jennings

Katherine "Kat" Jennings (portrayed by Keegan Connor Tracy)[8] was one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up. She is the fourth survivor to die.[4]

Known for her portrayal of the Blue Fairy in Once Upon a Time and Miss Watson in Bates Motel, Keegan portrayed Kat Jennings in the 2003 sequel.

There, she and Clear Rivers attempt to save Nora Carpenter from death, but to no avail. On their way to the Lakeview Hospital, she nearly collides with Isabella Hudson's van, and drives onto a nearby farm, where her SUV is penetrated by PVC pipes. She is trapped in her seat by a log, and when rescuers attempt to free her with the Jaws of Life, they inadvertently trigger her airbag, which pushes her head into a pipe protruding from her headrest.[16]

She stalls her vehicle preventing those who would have died from entering the freeway, but her friends are killed moments later by a speeding semi-trailer truck. She and the other survivors are later brought to the police station, where she and Eugene Dix explain the similarities between their experience and the survivors of Flight 180. When Evan Lewis dies, Kimberly seeks the help of Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers, who initially refuses, but later brings her and Thomas Burke to William Bludworth, who tells them that only "new life" can defeat Death, leading them to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will ruin Death's plan and they will all be safe. Although the other survivors meet their demise, Kimberly, Clear, and Thomas manage to save Isabella and her infant son. Upon realizing that Isabella was never on Death's List, Kimberly attempts to sacrifice herself by driving a van into a lake. She is then rescued by Thomas, and resuscitated by Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her "new life".

In Final Destination 3, a newspaper article reveals that Kimberly and Thomas were killed after being knocked into a wood chipper at a hardware store; however, this was only mentioned in an alternate ending.

After Kimberly prevents them from entering the highway, she and the other survivors are brought to the police station for questioning. While there, Kimberly tries to warn her that Death may still be after the survivors, but Nora dismisses her theory and leaves. The next day, Tim is killed while leaving the dentist, which leaves Nora devastated. Her distress is much displayed when she exits a group meeting at Thomas Burke's apartment. While inside an elevator with Eugene, she is called by Thomas, who warns her of a man with hooks. Her braid is then entangled by an old man holding prosthetic limbs (which have hooks), and her neck is trapped between the elevator doors when she tries to escape. Clear Rivers and Kat Jennings try to help her, but the elevator rises, and the force decapitates her.[4]

When the group leaves to find Isabella Hudson in Kat Jennings' SUV, the vehicle swerves onto a nearby farm, and the car is penetrated by PVC pipes. While there, Rory pulls Brian Gibbons out of the path of a speeding news van, unintentionally adding him to Death's list. He later asks Kimberly to hide his addictions from his mother if he dies. After Kat is killed, she drops a cigarette into a fuel leakage from the news van, and the van explodes, sending a barbed wire fence flying through the air, which trisected Rory.[4]

En route, Kimberly has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23 in which her SUV is smashed by a semi-truck, killing all four of them. As a result, Kimberly stalls her SUV to prevent other drivers from entering the freeway.

Kimberly prevents him and several others from entering the highway, and the survivors are brought to the police station for questioning. Thomas is the only one to consider Kimberly's theory that Death may still after them. After Evan Lewis's death, he and Kimberly attempt to save the remaining survivors, with the help of Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers. She brings them to William Bludworth, who asserts that only "new life" can defeat Death. This leads them to believe that if Isabella Hudson had her baby it would ruin Death's plan, and they would all be safe. Thomas falsely accuses Isabella of grand theft, and she is incarcerated. After the death of several other survivors, Isabella goes into labor, and Thomas, Kimberly, and Clear rush to the hospital, where they witness Isabella give birth. They believe they have finally cheated death until Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never on Death's list. Kimberly sacrifices herself for Thomas's sake, and after he saves her, she is resuscitated by Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her "new life".

Kimberly stalls her car on the entrance ramp, preventing them from entering the highway, and he and the other survivors are later brought to the police station for questioning. While there, Kimberly warns them that Death may still be after them, but he and Nora ignore her warning and leave. The next day, he and his mother go to his dentist appointment. While there, he is infused with laughing gas and the dentist leaves due to an emergency. He is numb and unable to move when a plastic blowfish from a hanging mobile falls into his mouth, and nearly chokes him death, but another dentist enters the room and removes it before that can happen. As he and Nora leave the clinic, Kimberly and Thomas Burke warn them about pigeons, and for fun Tim scares several pigeons near a pavement away.
