Tony Todd Stars in Final Appearance for 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' May 16

Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth installment of the iconic horror franchise, is set to premiere on May 16, 2025, marking both a return to the series’ roots and the final on-screen appearance of horror legend Tony Todd as William Bludworth. The film’s marketing has garnered attention with an on-brand, grisly billboard and a unique record for the oldest person ever set on fire on camera, performed by 71-year-old stuntwoman Yvette Fergusion. The plot follows college student Stefanie, who seeks to break her family's cycle of death, with the narrative reaching back to the franchise’s origins in the 1960s. Tony Todd's last performance was especially poignant, as he was given the freedom to ad-lib a farewell message to fans before his passing in November 2024. The movie is directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein and features a cast including Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Brec Bassinger, and Teo Briones. Final Destination: Bloodlines is not just a continuation but a tribute to the franchise’s legacy and Todd’s enduring impact.
