The trailer alone made the whole world afraid of driving behind a log truck.

    Meh. This is the first I’ve heard of this in a very very long time.

    I’d argue The Matrix Trilogy, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Lord if the Rings Trilogy have had far greater cultural impacts. They’re referenced quite a lot, especially The Matrix.

      Yea if we’re talking about biggest cultural impact I don’t think final destination is even in my top 50. It’s not even in my top 10 horror (IT, Psycho, Blair Witch Project, The Shining, Alien, Jaws, Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, The Exorcist)

      I’d say LOTR is far more ingrained in society. The Matrix gets lots of references within our cohort, but Tolkien set the rules and visuals of a vast amount of fantasy and myth that we now assume to have always existed. I’d also throw in Star Wars above Matrix. But yes, I’d definitely agree any of these rank far higher than a morsel of paranoia that already existed on the road
