Played by Walt Gorney in the first two Friday The 13th films, Crazy Ralph is small town America’s prophet of doom, and if you see him, you should leave immediately because his appearance foreshadows terrible events.

His wardrobe and diction need serious attention, he probably frightens off more people than he convinces and the kids always end up being brutally slaughtered, but it’s the thought that counts. Somehow, despite being the last person to talk to most of these people, he's never been investigated by the police.
