10 Horror Movie Characters Punished For Not Believing

One bloody, brutal summer of a shark stalking the shores of Amity Island should be enough to have anyone and everyone on their toes at the mere whiff of a unwanted underwater presence.

Unfortunately, the idiots on the Amity Town Council refused to believe that there could ever be another shark attack in the history of Amity, and thus the body count of Jaws 2 was unnecessarily added to.

Jeannot Szwarc's 1978 sequel offering opened up with a 25ft great white shark killing a couple of scuba divers, a water skier, a boat driver, and then is alluded to have brutalised a killer white.

Having already been through similar terrors, Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) knows a shark problem when he sees one. The thing is, his pleas to Mayor Larry Vaughn and the Amity Town Council fall on deaf ears.

Not only do Vaughn and his cronies refuse to believe Amity could be in the midst of more shark trouble - even though Brody presents them with plentiful evidence - but they actually vote to have Martin removed as the Chief of Police.

A further three deaths would happen, a bunch of youngsters would be left emotionally scarred, and the reputation of Amity and its beaches took yet another major hit - all because of the Amity Town Council.
