10 More Horror Movie Characters Who Didn't Know They Were The Killer

8. Anton Tobias - Idle Hands

The utterly ridiculous yet ludicrously entertaining cult classic Idle Hands centers around stoner teenager Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa), who after his parents go missing for a week, stumbles upon their brutalised corpses inside his house.

Anton's pothead pals Mick (Seth Green) and Pnub (Elden Henson) immediately assume him to be the killer, which Anton naturally denies, yet in the ensuing moments, he also ends up killing them both - shoving a glass bottle into Mick's skull and decapitating Pnub with a circular saw.

The rub? Anton technically is the killer despite his denials, but only because his demonically possessed right hand is acting of its own accord and killing whoever the hell it wants.

Anton spends the rest of the film battling his disobedient appendage, eventually resorting to chopping it off with a cleaver, which really only makes matters worse.

Ultimately the hand is defeated for good when it's stabbed with a ritual knife, but not before it's racked up quite the impressive body count indeed.
