Supernatural
One ofSupernatural’searliest episode blatantly copy a noted repulsion franchise in season 1 , actuate an interesting trend in the long - running series . Although the show has many different influences , Supernaturaloften references popular horror moviesin its instalment patch and theatrical role , peculiarly inSupernatural’smeta episodes , and has evencopied similar supernatural show likeBuffy The Vampire Slayer . However , in 2005 , whenSupernaturalreleased its first season , the show had not build itself yet , so it is apprehensible whyone of the earliest episodes inSupernaturalseason 1 was based onFinal Destination , a previously successful repulsion franchise .
As a supernatural repulsion film that was released in 2000,Final Destinationfollows the lives of a radical of teenagers who cheat deathby avoiding a carpenter’s plane detonation . Throughout the film , they are effectively hunted down by Death , who arrange luxuriant accidents to pour down off those who were meant to die . Final Destinationwas a box office success due to its interesting take on the genre , spawning a five - movie franchise , andFinal Destination 6is currently in production . The assumption of this movie is copied inSupernatural’s“Phantom Traveler , ” which was released five years afterFinal finish .
How Supernatural’s “Phantom Traveler” Copies Final Destination
Supernatural’s Season 1 Episode Has The Same Premise
Supernaturalseason1 , instalment 4 , “ Phantom Traveler , ” copiesFinal Destination’spremise as the episode is center around a plane crash . During United Britannia ’s flight 2485 , a nervous rider becomes possessed by a Disaster Demon , who open up the threshold mid - flying and causes the plane to doss down . However , when seven people survive the aeroplane crash , the Demon then hunt down down the remaining targets , declare “ No survivor , ” and begins killing them in other plane clank . The Winchesters encounter the Demon while aboard a target flight of stairs , exorcize it from the co - original before it can cause another sheet wreck , sending the Demon back to Hell .
Supernatural’sDisaster Demon is the first demon Sam and Dean encounter in the show .
“ Phantom Traveler ” straight off copiesFinal Destinationas it has the same premise ; a plane crashes and the seven survivors are hunted by an nameless entity and killed one by one . Moreover , when Alex stops Carter’sdeath inFinal Destination , Death skips to the next somebody , like to howSupernatural’sDisaster Demon skip over mass and only targeted those on planes . Nevertheless , Supernaturalmakes the concept its own by changing the nameless entity to a Demon , instead of Death , as well as maintaining the original manner of death . However , this is not the only time thatSupernaturalhas copiedFinal Destination .
Supernatural Season 6 Has Another Final Destination Style Episode
“My Heart Will Go On” Delivers A Tense Set Up
In one ofSupernatural’sstranger episodes , season 6 , episode 17 , “ My Heart Will Go On , ” sees the Titanic saved from dip by the angel Balthazar , causing history to vary . As a result , Fate intervenes , kill those who should have died through seemingly inadvertent , sequential death . The first step scene in thisSupernaturalepisode designate aFinal terminus - style cockeyed dying , as although the mark was sharpen a vane , a bizarre series of events ends with him being decapitated by the garage door . However , there is also one demise scene in “ My affection Will Go On ” that copiesFinal Destinationone for one .
Supernatural Has A Habit Of Copying Horror Movies (But It Works)
Supernatural Is No Stranger To References
Final Destinationis not the only revulsion motion picture thatSupernaturalhas copy . Other episodes blatantly rip off iconic moving picture , sometimes even cite import from them , likeSupernatural’sbus death scene . Supernaturalseason 5 ’s “ Fallen Idols , ” sees the great unwashed murder by wax shape in an ode to 2005’sHouse of Waxstarring Jared Padalecki and Paris Hilton , time of year 10 ’s “ Halt & Catch Fire ” is resonant of 2014’sUnfriended , and season 11 ’s “ Out of the Darkness , Into the Fire ” copies28 Days Later . Yet these character of references inSupernaturalhelped to define the showand are well - loved by fans , despite being ripoffs .
Supernatural had many surprising Edgar Guest stars over the age , but I completely forgot that a major Star Wars player had his first - ever role in season 1 .
Supernaturalgets away with copying repugnance movies because the show never takes itself too badly , often includinghorror actor cameos inSupernaturaland criticize its image , setting the serial apart from other show . Supernaturalprides itself on the ability to embrace meta concepts , which is of import forSupernatural , especially , as the show is really written by God . Therefore , it is not a bighearted mess whenSupernaturalcopies other revulsion movies likeFinal Destination , because the show always provides a twirl or commentary that keep on the conception bracing or , in the character of Shawn ’s bus dying , blatantly parodies it .
