The Movie: Pet Sematary (1989)
The Character: Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff)
Louis is truly one of the stupider characters in the genre, primarily because he goes against so much good advice.
When his family cat is killed on a local road, he's told of the strange powers of a local graveyard. But he's also told that nothing good can come of it.
We understand that he's wracked with grief and sees so many members of his family dead, but how many times have we seen the deceased return as happy, well-adjusted sorts who slip right back into their lives? Answer: never.
If Only They'd: Listened to his elderly neighbour Jed, who warned him about the Sematary. Oh, and not buried his cat, his child and, most importantly, his dead wife in the place.
How Do They Die? That last one (Rachel Creed, played by Denise "I gave up a role on Star Trek: The Next Generation for this?" Crosby) acts exactly like everything else he buries and comes back evil. With a knife.
Should've seen it coming, Louis.
