William Bludworth is the mysterious coroner from Mt. Abraham, New York who seems to know a little bit too much about Death and it's tendencies.

Fans of the franchise have speculated and created their own theories about who Bludworth really is. Is he the human incarnation of Death itself? Is he the devil? Or is he something else entirely? In this video, I'm going over the entire life of William Bludworth to bring you an answer.

I'll also discuss how there are multiple universes within the Final Destination franchise, so for the purposes of this video, I'll be referring to the events of "the sequel universe."

Candyman actor Tony Todd plays Bludworth in Final Destination (2000), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 5 (2009) -- and Todd's voice makes a cameo in Final Destination 3 (2006).

For the purposes of Horror History, the movies are canon, however, I've decided to include the details in the book, Final Destination: Death of the Senses, that don't directly contradict anything in the films, because they do fit. (This stuff will almost certainly never be contradicted in a movie, but probably can't truly be considered canon, seeing as how the books are out of print and never acknowledged anymore.)
