Biography
Surviving the accident

Erin is first seen with her goth boyfriend Ian McKinley in line to get on Devil's Flight. She and Ian warn of a fearful Wendy Cristensen that it is easier to die going to an amusement park than to die on a roller coaster. She enters the fourth cart with Ian, where she watches Wendy shouting to stop the ride.

She thinks Wendy is joking, until toy workers lift the safety locks for Kevin and Wendy to leave to clarify that she had a vision of a fatal roller coaster accident. When Lewis Romero argues with Kevin Fischer, he accidentally ends up slapping Erin. This makes Ian fight Lewis, while a furious Erin gets out of the cart and follows them out of the place.

Aftermath

Weeks after the Devil's Flight accident happened, Erin is seen doodling in her yearbook with Ian. She giggles when Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin invite a devastated Wendy to a tanning session. She doesn't seem to care about Wendy's pain, reacting nonchalantly beside her boyfriend.

After the deaths of Ashley and Ashlyn, Erin attends their wake. She is uncomfortable when Ian starts to make a speech about who should die or live according to his actions. Helped by Lewis and Kevin, Erin manages to get Ian out of the funeral. She gets into the van with him, upset about what happened, leaving the cemetery in the process.

Death
After Wendy alerted him and Erin to the planks, they began to fall. Wendy saved Ian from being impaled and soon all of the other items on the shelf fell and fell down on the survivors, except Erin, who was out of the way. No one was hurt. Seconds afterward, a wooden tile landed on top of the end of a plank and sent it through the sandbag, spraying sand in Erin's eyes. She promptly falls back against a nailgun that Ian had left on a set of boxes. It activated, discharging several nails into her head. After a few seconds, Erin dies, devastating Ian and caused him to despise Wendy.
