The Movie: The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The Character: Michael "Mike" Williams (Michael Williams)
While the movie has long been considered an indie smash classic, that doesn't spare it from boasting three of the least likeable types in horror history.
By the time we've watched Mike, Heather (Heather Donahue) and Josh (Joshua Leonard) bicker, whine and bitch about their situation for the 17th time, we're about ready for the Witch to get on with the murderlising.
And though it's tough to choose between the three, we're going with Mike for reasons that become clear.
If Only They'd: Not kicked the map into a river out of sheer frustration. Yes, in the middle of the scary forest, he really does lose their big hope for finding a route back. Way to go, idiot.
How Do They Die? He and Heather both lose their senses when they hear Josh's cries for help coming from an abandoned house in the woods. Instead of running, they dash in to "help".
The last shot is Mike, stood in a corner, seemingly about to die. We'll miss you, man. Oh, wait... no, we won't.
