## Key points

- Many horror films preserve a survivor, but some end in total loss.
- *Night of the Living Dead* turns human fear into a deadly threat.
- In *Fallen*, the demon survives by possessing a cat.

## Summary

The article examines horror films that end with no one surviving, arguing that such bleak conclusions are unusual in a genre that often offers audiences a survivor or some hope. It says these films can leave viewers unsettled, but their uncompromising endings can also sharpen the stories’ themes.

Examples include *Night of the Living Dead*, whose sole human survivor, Ben, is mistakenly shot and killed, reinforcing the film’s theme of people as a danger to one another. In *Fallen*, Detective Hobbes sacrifices himself to stop the demon Azazel, which survives by possessing a cat; *The Blair Witch Project* is also cited for following a doomed documentary crew through footage presented as found after their disappearance.
