Worst Horror Husbands (Dead Meat Podcast Ep. 207) 

I went spelunking a couple years ago, and the whole time I was thinking about that movie. If a best friend can be that bad that it gives me an entirely new type of anxiety, she deserves to win.

Those jackasses from Truth or Dare would be my pick on that bracket.

@@weirdguy1495 those are good contenders too!

I would also put Blair from Unfriended she is the reason literally everyone died in that movie

@@angel_bow20 that’s a top one For sure!

Same!

I was scrolling for this comment! I don't believe he actively tried to kill her so, for me, it narrowly escapes a Jack Torrance situation. But he is truly despicable.

Thank you! I immediately thought of Alex too

same, i was surprised not to see him

Like, even if he hadn't tried to sacrifice her in the end, the fact he didn't warn her about the possibility of pulling the hide-n-seek card shows he cared more about owning her than about keeping her safe

You mean Kevin Bacon? 😹 IYKYK

TS. Motherfuckin' A. We handle shit.

He's TS MUTHA FUCKIN A they handle shit consider the shit handled! Rod was the GOAT!

Yes! Rod hands down!

"You in some Eyes Wide Shut situation! Leave, motherf***a!"

absolutely 1000% i'm also so glad jordan peele went with the Rod ending instead of the other tragic ending

It's so Spring Time Vibes

the peeps be peeping@@theysaykillerwhales

she served honestly

It's so cute and perfect for springtime

I love it!

Oh, I hate her, too. I immediately thought about her as a worst best friend contender.

I think you can count him slamming her head into a wall an attempt on her life, hence why he isn't here. That disqualifies him.

Shoes on the bed… SHOES ON THE BED???? Disgusting. Someone put Derek in the dumpster

That falls into the too bad list like the husband from Rosemary's Baby, like these are douches not full on abusers

That's a great pick. Juno is the absolute worst (not the Ellen Page movie, which is the absolute best).

My first thought was Markie in Truth or Dare. I remember both James and Chelsea hating her when they discussed the movie.

YES LMFAO

@@82Jaster Oh that’s a good choice, too.

that and everyone in bodies bodies bodies

That gives me such gross vibes. Every time I hear someone say call me daddy or anything like that makes me fuckin sick.

Yeahhh, that’s why I was thinking Gerald should clear the whole game.

And I think that's the reason that discounts him from getting far in this bracket lol. Being so real and grounded in reality when compared to some of the almost cartoonish villainous actions of the other characters makes him the most "regular" not-so-great person in this entire bracket lol. It's like the "hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby" meme lol. If it wasn't for the major events of Midsommar, Dani and Christian would simply break up and both live regular lives. It's hard to say that for any of the other horror husbands/couples.

Now I'm going to picture Homer Simpson in his role the next time I watch it. :D

He didn't fit the criteria. They didnt wanna include partners who openly tried to murder their girlfriends

​@lynettebr I know what I meant is that I was considering him because I genuinely forgot he was the killer I know he wouldn't qualify

​@@MinigolfwindmillIs that the power of Matthew Lillard?

I totally agree! I was waiting for him to switch up the entire time but it never came!

agreed. i remember being really surprised by him when the movie came out!

Yes! We love Bret 👏👏👏

ty for the non spoiler, decided to watch the movie based on your comment as i'd been planning on doing so for a couple years, was worth the watch. Cheers to you

@@ryanbeatbox8274 😄😄I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!! I’ll be rewatching it with my sister tonight!

I personally would have allowed Peter to last for more brackets, because of how controlling he is of Jess, how he is *this close* to becoming physically abusive of Jess etc. etc. If the director is deliberately making you as the boyfriend look almost indistinguishable from the murderer, you are definitely a bad boyfriend. It is a common horror trope to have a non-monstrous character somehow symbolically paired with the monster & in the OG Black Christmas, it's obvious they are doing this with Peter & Billy.

@@jonsrecordcollection7172 Fun fact: The guy who voiced Billy actually dubbed a couple of Peter's lines to make him even more suspicious.

Graessle :)

Agreed. As soon as I heard they were doing this, my first thought was "it's Micah, no question". He's such a giant piece of shit throughout that entire movie, I'll never forget my feelings towards Micah when I first watched that movie. Hell by the end I was rooting for the demon just to get rid of him.

Just started the video and my first thought was, "that douche from paranormal activity"

That hurts

I immediately thought of Micah when the subject was first broached.

​@@micahrowe Sorry. I'm sure (or at least I hope) that you're a much better Micah.

He's still the worst before that though!

@@chrisytfc879 That is...literally irrelevant to my specific comment. Bad boyfriend? Yes. Deserved his fate? NO!

If his fate was determined solely on him cheating on her than I could agree but that douche’s fate was determined based off the countless examples of bad boyfriend and bad person in general that he displayed since the beginning of the movie.

​@@notyouraveragebear9326 Ok no. Just because he was a terrible person and an awful boyfriend doesn't mean he deserved to be r@ped and murdered in one of the most painful ways imaginable. I'd argue that nobody deserves that fate. Also he didn't cheat on her, what the fuck?? He was drugged and forced into it. Can't believe I have to say this.

@@notyouraveragebear9326 Believe it or not, but nobody deserves to be drugged, r@ped, and boiled/burned alive. It's literally one of the cruellest fates imaginable. Is Christian a bad guy? Yeah. Does that mean he deserve what he got? No, absolutely not. I can't believe I have to say this.

ugh both of their subtle acting is so amazing and those scenes really hit you because of how accurate and real it feels

It definitely gets overlooked compared to the rest of the movie. It is truly horrifying.

As someone with bipolar (what her sister had) that scene really hit me hard. Immediately hated the guy.

I think in a lot of ways his FRIENDS were worse than him loool

Respectfully, I cannot disagree more. And personally I think what makes someone like Christian so particular insidious is not how in how seemingly harmless he is, but in how much he *manipulates* people to SEE him as harmless. If you closely watch every interaction he has the entire movie, he does not once do anything that is genuinely kind or sincerely altruistic. Every conversation he has is emotional grifting. Even resisting dumping Dani after her family dies comes across less as him feeling any kind of sympathy for her (seriously, look at his expression as she cries on his lap, and it just screams “Great, look at what *I* have to deal with now), and more that he understands people will automatically think of him as the bad guy, which he constantly (I might even say pathologically) refuses to let anyone paint him as the entire film. That’s why he’s conflict-averse: not because he cares about the other person’s feelings or anything, but he understands that the risk in conflict is the potential to be perceived by others as wrong. So as a result, he constantly weasels his way out of people being able to call him out for the self-centered jerk that he is. If you look up a “dark empath,” I feel like he has many of the signifiers. And what makes them so dangerous is that, unlike a normal narcissist, they have the emotional sophistry to really fly under the radar, like Christian does.

@scottlovesmoviestoomuch Him being a piece of shit is not the issue here. It's how he died in such a terrible way that makes people be more sympathetic to him than they otherwise would be:

​​@@weirdguy1495 Him being a pos is literally the issue, what 😂? That is what the op comment is partially about and the podcast is wholely about.

​​@@scottlovesmoviestoomuch100%. I'll never understand people thinking Christian isn't a bad person, but they saw him do what he did, stealing his friends thesis being one thing that comes to mind. He's selfish, inconsiderate and manipulative and people forget that just because he "didn't deserve" his ending. No one deserves to be graped, but I wasn't sad to see him die either. Not to mention the cult set it up to make it seem like C was cheating. How could Dani have known any better, especially because of how it treated her before hand? He's death wasn't even the most gruesome in the movie. His friends deserved to die even less, one (if I remember right) died more horribly than he but no one here feels sorry for them. Also, I'm not even sure anyone truly thinks Dani had a good ending. Sure, someone out there probably genuinely thinks that, but mostly I feel that is mostly a meme, and/or people trying to make Dani seem worse than Christian. I saw one person say she was awful because "she forced herself on the trip", forgetting that C literally invited her. If you don't want someone to come with you, don't invite them, even if you think they'll say no, there's always a chance they'll say yes. I could be completely off base but I think the May Queen also dies, but that's just a thing I saw somewhere, so I'm not sure.

Or Marki from Truth or Dare.

The wife from antichrist

Mom from Brightburn is another good candidate

​@coolnerdlll6053 I would say Markie Is more of a shitty friend until I realized one of the plot points of that movie is her being a serial cheater.

@@thepancakereviewer She’s just a shit person 😂

On the one hand I thought that would fall under the "DQ'd after they start killing people" but then Jennifer has completely normal, non-supernatural shitty friend behaviors that could keep her in the bracket.

I'd think Jennifer would be disqualified due to her being the main killer in her movie

@@thepancakereviewer She’s the main antagonist but she’s not the main character, Needy is.

she did that cause she wanted Needy for herself, which is why Needy ripping off her BFF necklace weakened her enough to kill her

@@SketchyCharactersAndCrime I said Main Killer, not Main Character

THAT PART

Because if we're being honest, the chance of something horror-esque (especially supernatural) is like pretty low. And even if it does happen, it most likely would not be a long experience (either you die or it does). But being stuck with an abusive, manipulative creep for a partner is unfortunately very possible. Not to mention, it could last for years or if they're a real expert pos, they'd wait till you're stuck and comfortable with them. Then getting out is harder because you can't exactly just off em.

Lot of correlation there too, if the data is to be believed…

- Charlene (Freaky) - Hendricks (Jaws) - Any cops besides Dewey (Scream) - The cops (Gremlins) - The cops who arrest Helen (I Know What You Did Last Summer) - Nash (Black Christmas) - Beadle Bamford (Sweeney Todd) - Deputy So-And-So (Sinister) - Boyle and Pembry (Silence of the Lambs) - Schreck & Weine (Final Destination) Just to get things started.

@@coolnerdlll6053 gotta have some from the Saw franchise too

My first thought was Mark Hoffman but he gets disqualified for sure 😂😂😂

Also terrible psychologists (cough Loomis)

I liked Fall, but I spent half the movie thinking "This is just The Descent but in the other direction and not as good".

the Ascent LMAO

That's hilariously astute and witty, kudos

Annabelle, too, if I recall.

I don't know if it counts his partner is dead for the whole movie but Nicolas Cage from mandy is definitely up there

I think another solid one is the husband in us. He never underplayed his wife or kids' fears, actively tried to protect them, and tried to ensure the crawdaddy as a means of escape for all of them and put faith in his wife's ability to protect them when he realized he was in over his head

Also the dad in Hereditary! Only wants the best for them and does everything he can to help until the very end.

I'm STILL angry about that, myself!

that kiiiiilled me 😂

“THE AMISH ARE AFFECTED! IT MAKES ITS WAY TO AMISH COUNTRY, THAT’S HOW BADLY MICAH F***S UP!”

they never stay consistent with rules lol

wasnt the rule that they couldn't try to murder their girlfriends/wives? he specifically wanted to spare erin in that movie

Yeah, I feel like if Guy from Rosemary's Baby is out, then Crispin should have been, too. Both men put their women in traumatically violent situations to benefit themselves financially.

Came here to say that! He was a spoiler from the beginning.

I sorta agree, he's riiiight on the line even if he claims he planned for her to survive. But it was still fun to listen to xD

He’s the one that got killed with the blender too, not Crispin

Yes Alex was awful lol

unfortunately he doesn't qualify since he tried to kill her

alex suuuuuuuuuuucks

Alex is disqualified because he tries to murder his wife.

he really sucks and i wouldve liked to see that conversation but i think he's disqualified because of him deciding to participate in the ritual and being the one to stabby stab her (even if she moves)

i also suggested chip!

Bobby from Saw 7 DEFINITELY should have been in there, that guy is literally awful.

Jeff wandered into the bracket five minutes after the podcast finished and wondered where everybody went.

I was thinking the same thing. Daniel set it all off when he transfers the demon to Katie.

Yes! I think he is so much worse than Micah! He’s racist, dismissive of his wife, actively mocks and scares her with the pool vacuum, and then redirects the demon to her sister who she loves so much

@@vickimorelos8897 that part!

ALSO could do worst dates? And that way you could include Fresh and The Menu!!!

Right? At that point you can't blame alcoholism 💀 and then his son randomly loses his pulse at the hospital right after Esther leaves!!

No, James is the best Horror Husband, he let's his wife count kills for fun too

Is this a joke? Please be a joke.

😂😂😂😂😂 I see what you did there....

​@@kingfrog5788I definitely think they're joking...its sarcastic wit imo

@@shantellakaladypersephone8671 oh my bad

"He a little confused but he got the right spirit."

@@Billwarson29 that's exactly it. Because, it WASNT her fault. But there is absolutely no evidence of that from his perspective.

Chewie and Lawrence from the Friday reboot need to be in as a duo for that. Best characters in that movie.

Marty from Cabin in the Woods, Anton from Idle Hands and of course Leprechaun/Lil Sh*t would be contenders.

@@coolnerdlll6053 I'm here for Anton. I love Idle Hands!

@@coolnerdlll6053 Marty is my favorite stoner! I really wanted him to survive in the end 😭

@@lovestumacher Unfortunately, in that movie's lore, if he didn't get murdered the world would end, so he was kind of screwed.

🤣🤣🤣

I fully fully agree with this comment!!

Thank you!! Don is a weasel but I also think he did so much to try and stop it and protect her and she kept messing up. He survived while he could.

@@Poirotgirl Don made his stance clear and she was the one who didn't listen after many warnings and after several of those warnings came true. Don was a moron later in the film, but in the opening scene, he was 100% in the right and it wasn't his fault.

As you say, he was right IN THE OPENING, but he is a complete idiot for what he does later.

​@@AlatuberI mean, that's what they literally said, twice. Don't know why you felt the need to repeat it lol.

@@revenge3265 for some reason, RU-vid didn't show me the replies to this comment 🤔

Micah is from the first Paranormal Activity movie.

Slow-ass Jeff!

Thank you! I'm so surprised that Slow Ass MF'ing Jeff isn't on the bracket

I think Damien wins that one before you even start, how do you beat the antichrist?

To clarify, not only does she LOOK like his daughter, he hired her to ROLEPLAY as his daughter during sex acts. Also, his daughter is dead

Well no actually audrey's boyfriend was a jerk. That boyfriend was rude and abusive to her. The dentist. He could definitely be on the list.The dentist played by steve martin...but not Seymour
