10 Most Stupid Characters In Classic Horror Movies

4. Friday The 13th: Part VII - The New Blood - Judy

If a character finds themselves in a Friday the 13th film, and they aren't Jason Voorhees, odds are they are going to do something stupid and get themselves impaled on the wrong end of a blade. The franchise is all about punishing dumb, horny teenagers, and Part VII - The New Blood is no exception.

In the movie, one of the characters who made the stupidest choices was Judy. Judy went for a fun camping trip with her boyfriend Dan near Crystal Lake. Initially, Dan comes onto her, but she shrugs off his advances, preferring he go out to find firewood. At night. By himself.

Judy then goes into the tent and undresses before moving into her sleeping bag. After a while, she hears someone walking outside the tent and sees their boots through the tent's opening. Assuming it's Dan, she calls out to him.

Several stupid decisions put her in this mess, but the last decision she makes is easily the dumbest. The boots end up belonging to Jason, who slashes through the tent. Seeing this, she freaks out, and instead of getting out of her sleeping bag and running away, she ducks into it like a child might hide under their blanket for protection.

Jason simply picks up the bag with the squirming Judy, and slams it against a tree, killing her instantly.
