 Morgain said , " The main thing they wanted about Death coming to get people is that you never saw a kind of a Michael Myers figure . You never saw a killer . And they liked that idea and they said , ' Okay . Go write it . ' Once we had a basic story , I started cataloging the strange coincidences in my own life . For example , I was in the Vancouver airport waiting for a flight when John Denver came on over the loudspeaker . I remember saying to myself , ' Hey , he just died in a plane crash – that 's a little weird . ' We wrote that version of that experience into the script . "
