I’m back with part 2 of horror movie characters I have no sympathy for. These characters aren’t the main villains of their films, but through their actions or words, they made me not only unsympathetic towards their situations, but actually rooting for their downfall. I hope you enjoy and let me know which horror characters you lost all sympathy for! (MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)

Stooge – Night Of The Demons

Have you ever watched a movie where a total a**hole was mixed in with a group of friends and you wonder why they ever put up with them? For me, that a**hole was Stooge (Hal Havens). Stooge was among a group of friends invited to a Halloween party that took place at an abandoned funeral parlor. There, demonic forces awoke and trapped everyone inside and picked them off one by one. Overall, Stooge was just a terrible person throughout the whole film, even before his possession. He treated everyone like dirt, called someone a b***h every other sentence, and intentionally upset people for fun. Do I think he necessarily deserved his fate? Well, no, but I wasn’t exactly crying about it either.

Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi – Hannibal

If greed was ever a person, it would take the form of Rinaldo Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini). Crazed serial killer, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) spent ten peaceful years in the beautiful Florence, Italy. When Pazzi began to suspect who he was, he did a little research and found that one of Lecter’s previous victims was offering $1,000,000 to anyone who found him. Instead of doing the right thing and turning him into the FBI, Pazzi decided to go for the million. He didn’t have a care in the world about the risk for not only himself but his wife. The thing that really got me was how he paid a pickpocket to get Lecter’s fingerprint and when Lecter stabbed him, Pazzi let him bleed to death to cover his tracks. I despise crooked law enforcement and Pazzi let his own greed and selfishness prevent the end of Lecter’s body count.

Jonah And Chloe – The Children

In a movie, when the audience knows a character is innocent but the other characters do not, it can be the most frustrating thing to witness. Casey (Hannah Tointon) was a rebel teen who was forced to spend Christmas vacation with her parents, aunt and uncle, and her very young siblings and cousins. When the younger children contract a virus that turns them violent, they start to turn vicious on their parents. After Casey’s uncle was killed, her aunt, Chloe (Rachel Shelley) and her (step?)dad, Jonah (Stephen Campbell Moore) start to suspect that she was the one causing all the carnage. Watching them accuse her and get violent with her made be unbelievably furious, especially when they had absolutely no evidence that she did anything.

David And Clare Poe – Home Movie

Usually, when I look at the choices horror characters make that are detrimental to their lives, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, David (Adrian Pasdar) and Clare (Cady McClain) Poe have made constant horrible decisions from the very beginning, and it was so hard to feel bad for them. They wanted a peaceful, simple life so they moved to a quiet house in the middle of the woods with their two children and many pets. Soon after they moved, the children started to become more violent and psychotic. It’s crazy seeing the parents do so little about their kids until it was too late. They killed three of the family pets before David and Clare finally admitted something was wrong with them. Not to mention David taught them how to pick a lock and tie knots and Clare gave them medication that she clearly didn’t make sure they took. These two gave their kids all the tools they needed to later use against them. They were some of the dumbest characters I’ve ever seen in the entire genre, and they sealed their fates by not only ignoring the issues, but actively making them worse.

Annie Hardy – Dashcam

Annie Hardy (Annie Hardy) was one of the worst characters I’ve seen in a long time. She was a live-streamer who traveled all the way to England to visit her friend, Stretch (Amar Chadha-Patel) just to be a horrible friend to him and be a horrible guest to his girlfriend. She then stole his car, and brought him into a world of s**t after picking up a demon in said car. Then, when things started to hit the fan, she abandoned Stretch every chance she got, even when there was a gun to his head! She was selfish, inconsiderate, and she didn’t take anything seriously the entire time. I stuck through the whole movie because I believed her death scene was going to be so satisfactory, but did she die? Nope! She survived with no character development or redeemable qualities! Stretch should’ve been the last one standing, not Annie.
