Devon Sawa's fateful Final Destination flight has come back to haunt him
On this, the actual 20th anniversary of Final Destination, let’s relive this legendary day in history.
Sunday marked the 19th anniversary of the release of Final Destination, the first installment in a horror franchise of diminishing returns that pitted a group of unsuspecting teens against the Rube Goldbergian schemes of Death itself. On Sunday, star Devon Sawa, mistaking the date for the film’s 20th anniversary—it happens, buddy—tweeted out a message simultaneously commemorating the anniversary and forecasting his own doom.
For anyone who doesn’t remember, the inciting incident of the first film involves a pretty horrifying plane explosion that’s predicted by Sawa’s character, causing him and a handful of classmates to flee the plane, cheat fate, and piss off Death. Fans got a morbid thrill out of Sawa’s tweet and immediately began taunting him with GIFs of Tony Todd’s coroner character, Bludworth, and other mysterious coincidences involving the number 317.
