The Long Walk/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: The Major starts out as a mythical figure to the Walkers, but as the Walk goes on, they all seem to vilify him. Stebbins even goes so far to believe that he's The Major's illegitimate son.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: And there's no shortage of it, either.
    • Barkovitch's suicide. He rips out his own throat.
    • Olson's Rasputinian Death. He is shot in the belly, falls down, and then gets up to continue walking. He is shot a few more times in the belly, causing his intestines to spill out, but he's still walking. The soldiers put a couple more bullets in him and then carry him away. Also, he dies screaming "I DID IT WRONG!"
