Created by Jeffrey Reddick, the Final Destination franchise introduced a unique concept: Death as an unstoppable force that relentlessly hunts down survivors who cheat its grasp. Tonight, AC and the gang explore the fascinating origins of this chilling idea and how it became the backbone of the series, fueling the horrifying and creative death sequences that have captivated audiences for 25 years.

Our expert panel of enthusiastic FD fans (Ashley Lamers, Mike Mayo, Frank Merle, Vanessa Morgan, Ciara Wylie) delves into the films’ hidden Easter eggs and behind-the-scenes trivia, from the special effects wizardry behind some of the most memorable kills, to the inspirations drawn from real-life experiences. And, of course, we can't forget fan favorite Tony Todd, whose ominous presence as the mysterious coroner has become one of the series' most iconic elements.
