Craig Perry, the producer of the Final Destination series, shares insights about the franchise that has entertained and terrified audiences for over 25 years. With a focus on unconventional death sequences resulting from mundane activities, the films have grossed over $657 million globally. The series began with a plane crash premonition and has expanded to scenarios involving tattoos, barbecues, and glass elevators, creating an enduring fascination with death's unpredictability. Perry attributes the series' longevity to its unique portrayal of death through inanimate objects rather than personification, allowing viewers to engage with their own experiences.
Over 25 years, his films have punctured, skewered, crushed, flattened and decapitated men, women and children in a series of horrifying accidents.
To date, the films have made more than $657m worldwide and helped to terrify a generation of millennials about the dangers that arise from the mundanities of life.
Death soon followed them all home and constructed shocking, often grimly amusing, Rube Goldberg-style death sequences for them, correcting the imbalance.
Using inanimate objects to achieve its objective is something Perry believes has given the series its staying power.
