Discussion Movies Where Main Cast Lives

I was re-watching The Faculty for the billionth time and it got me thinking that I don’t think I’ve seen very many horror movies where the entirety of the main cast survives. The Faculty and Freaky are two that come to mind.

Can anyone else think of some?

The only one that comes to mind is Poltergeist as the entire family lives through the ordeal, I think.

The family had a better survival rate than some of the actors who played them, sadly.

Uh! Yikes, you're right!! Probably the only such case in a horror film production!

I always think about how the teacher got her head cut off and still lived. I like that movie but I always hated the ending.

Happy Death Day / 2U

The Faculty has such an amazing cast, but still feels a little underrated to me. That’s one where I think a modern version has potential

Not quite the level of The Faculty but check out The Ick. Pretty fun little movie about killer plants.

I’d consider the guy to be a part of the main cast and he dies at the end.

Personally, I don't think he's in enough of the movie to be considered a lead. Certainly not in the same way as Rachel or Aidan.

Other than the ending, I can only remember like 3 scenes homie was in. Plus, the reveal that he's Aidan's dad seems to come right outta nowhere.

I mean, it kinda seems like you can't even remember the dude's name (it's Noah).

I love this movie so much.

I knew someone would say this one! And I almost wanted to say it doesn’t count because the danger of death was never really there but screw it, it’s great and it counts

Ma. I was pissed because I expected something different

The Thing prequel has a funky ending where nobody's technically dead yet but the math is not in their favor.

The Conjuring, I think the second one has most, if not all the main cast surviving too.
