10 More Horror Movie Characters You Trusted (But Shouldn't Have)
2. Marybeth Hutchinson - The Faculty
In fairness, can anyone really be blamed for letting their guard down around The Faculty's Marybeth Hutchinson (Laura Harris)? The adorably naïve and southern-accented new student of Herrington High School gives off no suspicious vibes at all.
But of course, that's precisely why she's eventually revealed to be the queen of the alien species turning the school's teachers into mindless drones.
Taking the guise of a cute, friendly high-schooler was the perfect choice to ensure that neither the audience nor the movie's characters would ever peg her as the ultimate antagonist. And so, in the third act Marybeth drops her disguise - and at one point, her clothes - as she reveals her grotesque alien form in what proves to be quite the genuinely surprising twist.
She soon enough gets what's coming to her, though, when she ends up stabbed in the eye with a couple of pens packed with drugs, killing her and returning all the zombified teachers to normal.
