15 Insufferable Horror Movie Characters You Secretly WANTED To Die

7. Micah - Paranormal Activity

Unfriended 2014
Paramount Pictures

Micah, the man who films the supernatural events in the original Paranormal Activity film, is easily the most annoying camera-person in horror history.

There are two huge issues with this guy. Firstly, he's a reckless idiot. He repeatedly ignores advice from experts on the supernatural and aggravates whatever supernatural force is in his home by carrying on with his filming and also purchasing a Ouija board, which he was told very explicitly not to do.

Secondly, he's a massive d**k to his girlfriend, Katie. He never listens to or supports her as she loses his sanity and instead carries on filming her, making everything worse and just, in general, being very, very irritating.

He is ultimately killed by his possessed girlfriend. Since Paranormal Activity 2 is a prequel he does reappear, but luckily he's not quite so tiresome in that one and isn't around for long either.
