10 Horror Movie Heroes Who Made Everything Worse

10. Ash Williams - Army Of Darkness

Army of Darkness opens with our boomstick-blasting hero, Ash Williams, transported to medieval times. After consulting The Wise Man, Ash learns he can return to his timeline by retrieving the Necromonicon and uttering the words, "Klaatu barada nikto".

When he locates the book, Ash realises he has forgotten the last part of the enchantment. Out of desperation, Ash mumbles the phrase, hoping it will be close enough to trigger the spell. Instead, Ash's fumbling summons a malevolent doppelgänger called Evil Ash and a legion of Deadites.

As expected, Ash unites the citizens and leads them against the zombie legion, ultimately destroying them and his dark twin.

Even though Ash is hailed as a hero, it doesn't change the fact he unleashed Evil Ash's forces onto the world, because he couldn't remember three words. As such, Ash should be held somewhat accountable for anyone who died during battle.

Also, if those words were so important, why didn't he write them down? When Ash realised he couldn't remember the enchantment, why didn't he doublecheck with The Wise Man, instead of just trying to wing it?
