10 Dumbest Ever Horror Movie Protagonists

Defining Dumb Moment: Not taking proper precaution when meeting an alien lifeform.

For a movie populated by characters who are scientists and space explorers who you’d assume were reasonably intelligent, Prometheus is surprisingly overflowing with stupidity and idiotic decisions.

But one character that stands out in his sheer and absolute asininity is Millburn. This is a man who after coming across the mostly humanoid corpse of an Engineer in the temple on LV-223 practically soils his spacesuit in fright and wants to go back to the ship. Yet moments later when he encounters an actually alien-looking alien he’s all kinds of enthralled and completely lets his guard down.

So in the world of Millburn logic, humanoid lifeforms are something to be feared but a Hammerpede that emerges from a primordial black goo and looks like a cross between a penis and a cobra suffering from a bad case of vagina dentata? He runs over and tries to pet it like an excitable child meeting a cute puppy. Some biologist.

And that is how you end up getting deep-throated to death by a phallic alien lifeform. Somebody give this man a Darwin Award.
