50 Infuriating Horror Movie Characters We All Secretly Wanted To Die

11. Rosemary's Baby - Guy Woodhouse

There have been some truly terrible husbands in horror movies over the years. Rosemary's Baby's Guy Woodhouse (John Cassavetes), husband of Rosemary (Mia Farrow), is one of the very, very worst.

After all, this is the guy who's so desperate to further his acting career that he allows a coven to impregnate his own wife with the son of the antichrist. It doesn't get much worse than that. Furthermore, the coven curses an actor with blindness so that Guy can get his part and also cause the death of one of his wife's friends; he's complicit in all of that as well. 

As if all of that wasn't bad enough, when Rosemary first falls pregnant, he tries to hide what really happened by claiming that he impregnated her while she was asleep, saying, "It was kinda fun in a necrophile sort of way." Seriously, there's nothing to like about this man. 

Make no mistake, it is this traitorous bastard who is the most loathsome character in the movie by far, even more so than the various members of the coven, but if you're hoping for a death scene, then you'll be disappointed. Nevertheless, we do get to see Rosemary spitting in his face after learning of his betrayal - that won't fail to make you smile.
