10 Most Unlucky Horror Movie Characters

Martin Scorsese doesn't make horror films, but he's certainly come close a number of times. Most notably, this 1985 picture tells the story of a man (Griffin Dunne) attempting to make his way home after a night out. Traipsing the streets of Soho, New York, Paul stumbles into a series of bizarre and nightmarish encounters with the city's more unusual denizens - the night growing ever weirder and more unsettling as it progresses.

One of Scorsese's most underrated - and underseen - movies, After Hours is the simple story of a man, just trying to get home. We've all been there; Paul Hackett is all of us, the perennial everyman.

As he winds up lost, broken and, uh, cocooned in plaster, Paul's odyssey becomes an experience from which he will not emerge the same person (just see the movie's post-credits sequence, if you don't believe us). He just wanted to get home.
