10 Most Unlucky Horror Movie Characters

2. Paxton - Hostel

10 Most Unluckiest Horror Movie Charecters
Lionsgate

Poor Paxton, plucked from a lads holiday to take centre stage in a worldwide murder conspiracy for rich people. While travelling Eastern Europe with his awful friends, Paxton (Jay Hernandez) - the least awful of the lot, but still awful - is lured to a remote town hostel with the promise of sweaty hot Eastern European sex.

The last man standing as his friends are kidnapped and murdered, Paxton is lured directly into the basement of the Elite Hunting Club (no kidnapping required!) where he too is strapped down and violently tortured. Sure, Paxton manages to escape, but his survival proves to be nought, but a stay of execution. Poor Paxton is murdered - off-screen - during the opening moments of Hostel II, beheaded to serve as a trophy for the Hunting Club for the rest of his days.

Stupidity may have played some part in Paxton's eventual fate but, as the altogether more sympathetic girls of Hostel II found out for themselves, it could have happened to anyone.
