  • Who are the psychos at Watchmojo who decided that a teenager running through a flock of pigeons deserved the instant karma of being instantly flattened by a pane of glass?
  • The actor who played Burke, his mother actually cheered when his character died
  • @Shadowstar395
    I remember going to see The Mist when it was in theaters. The place was packed and every single person cheered when Mrs. Carmondy was shot. One guy even yelled: It's about damn time!
  • Midsommer was a deeply disturbing movie. Even the characters who didn't deserve it meet gruesome ends. The one we hope would get away even winds up hopelessly insane.
  • I actually feel that the remake of Carrie did the instant karma better because she was more targeting the bullies. Also, Ms. Desjardin dying is like the opposite of karma.
  • @xmung
    Not exactly instant karma, but the merman scene in Cabin In The Woods sure was sweet karma all the same…
  • @ccthewhitewolf3163
    I love that they talk about the dead kids getting the kids back in Trick R Treat, but not about how the dead kids also get their killer too
  • @josephwest124
    The only REAL tragedy in Carrie's rampage (aside from what happens to Tommy--it's not clear whether the empty bucket that hits him ends up killing him or if he's just knocked unconscious and then dies in the fire) was the death of Miss Collins. She was really Carrie's only friend through the movie but, because Carrie snaps from Tommy's collapse, Carrie then hallucinates that everyone, including Miss Collins, is laughing at her. If Miss Collins had rushed to the stage to see to Tommy and Carrie, she might have survived but her own shock at the scene unfortunately turns her into a victim.
  • @droth1031
    In Aliens, he wasn't immediately killed. There's a deleted scene where Ripley finds him stuck to a wall, about to give birth to a chest burster, begging her to kill him.
  • You know, it’s funny that in Final Destination 5 basically foreshadowed his death, when he tried to get the coupon, there were thumbtacks there
  • @kahrahnoel814
    4:41 One of my favorite quotes in Scream 3: "I have not SCREWED that pig Milton to get a leading a role just to die here with second rate celebrities like you two."
  • I saw The Mist in theaters. When she got hers, someone yelled, "Finally!" and the whole theater cheered😂
  • @kristashafer93098
    On number 10: I’m not sure if M3GAN intended for Brandon to get killed, but it is obvious she doesn’t care that he was.
  • @jenewok
    Who else cheered when Mrs. Carmondy died? She was a real monster.
  • @juanelorriaga2840
    I remember seeing “Aliens” in a packed NYC theater and when Burke got killed everyone was laughing and clapping
  • @raspyswirly
    Final Destination 2 usually doesn't get as much credit as the rest of the franchise, but it's especially notable here having a cast of characters generally trying to help each other, instead of the sequels which have nastier people whose instant karma you actually want to root for
  • @ALM1GHTY.PEANUT
    I liked the karma of the lawyer in 13th Ghosts after mocking the captured ghosts then got split in half by a sliding glass wall
  • @olvialee7221
    227: Why does that not surprise me? Before he voiced Bolin on The Legend of Korra, he got a gruesome death in the last horror movie of Final Destination
