5 Repulsive Horror Characters Who Had Us Unwillingly Rooting For Villains
These five were so insufferable that most viewers were actually rooting for them to meet a gruesome end at the hands of the villains.
While we're usually supposed to care about the supporting characters in horror movies, some of them end up being so repulsive that you can't help but hope they get killed next.
So here are five of the most disgusting horror movie characters who were even worse than the villains.
Margaret White — Carrie (1976)
While it was hard to choose between her and the school bullies from this Stephen King adaptation, we decided to go with Margaret because she's Carrie's mother.
Instead of being supportive of her daughter, she constantly berates Carrie and acts like an abusive religious zealot, to the point where her demise is actually quite satisfying.

Mrs. Carmody — The Mist (2007)
Speaking of religious zealots in Stephen King adaptations, Mrs. Carmody is absolutely despicable, even serving as a sort of human antagonist along with the mist monsters.
Marcia Gay Harden did a great job portraying the character, as everyone who saw this movie felt nothing but hatred for her.

Dr. Frederick Chilton — The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
The head of the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane ended up being even more terrifying than his patients.
Looking at this creepy, opportunistic, self-absorbed moron, you actually feel a little sorry for Hannibal Lecter, which says a lot.
Yon-suk — Train to Busan (2016)
Even if you don't remember his name, we're sure you already know who we're talking about if you've seen this Korean horror movie.
A businessman willing to throw anyone under the bus to save his own skin, Yon-suk is completely devoid of any redeeming qualities, leaving viewers eager to see him finally become zombie food.
Carter J. Burke — Aliens (1986)
An absolutely insufferable corporate bootlicker, Paul Reiser did a masterful job of conveying the slimy nature of this Weyland-Yutani representative.
After the first movie, you might have expected the android to be the traitor, but somehow Burke was more of a corporate tool than Lance Henriksen's Bishop.
