‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Set a 71-Year-Old Woman on Fire in Record-Breaking Stunt

Death comes for us all, no matter the age.

Final Destination Bloodlines broke the world record for oldest person set on fire on camera, with 71-year-old stunt performer Yvette Ferguson (“Midnight Mass,” Deep Rising) coming out of retirement for the full-body burn.

“We lit so many different people on fire, including breaking the world record for oldest person on fire with Yvette Ferguson, who did that full body burn in the silver dress,” Zach Lipovsky, who co-directs with Adam Stein, told EW. “That was the oldest person ever on fire, on camera.”

The film’s stunt team reached out to Guinness World Records to officially submit the feat for consideration, but they have not yet heard back.

Ferguson plays Mrs. Fuller, who’s immolated in film’s 1960s-set opening sequence. Iris, a young woman on a date at a restaurant atop a 400-foot-tall tower, has a deadly promotion in which the crowded building collapses.

In theaters May 16 from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., the sixth installment in the horror franchise will take audiences back to the beginning of Death’s twisted sense of justice.

Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.

Kaitlyn Santa Juana (“The Flash”), Teo Briones (“Chucky”), Richard Harmon (“The 100”), Owen Patrick Joyner (“Julie and the Phantoms”), Rya Kihlstedt (“Dexter”), Anna Lore (“Doom Patrol”), and Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) star.

Late horror legend Tony Todd will make his final big screen appearance in Final Destination Bloodlines as recurring character William Bludworth.

Guy Busick (Scream 5, Scream 6) and Lori Evans Taylor (Cellar Door) wrote the script. Franchise staples Craig Perry and Sheila Taylor produce alongside Jon Watts (Spider Man: No Way Home), who also shares story credit.
