How many bodacious babes have we seen run screaming into the woods to their deaths, or earnestly ask \u201cwho\u2019s there?\u201d after a break-in? Their presence is so ubiquitous it has become a genre staple, a trope to be subverted or (more boringly), mocked outright.

Which, in the literally cutthroat world of horror, isn\u2019t exactly a recipe for survival. But damn it if we don\u2019t love these idiots anyway. They\u2019re not malicious bullies or sinister psychos; they\u2019re just big, dumb boys doing their best under the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>The attractive, naive, vacuous men of genre cinema have been ignored for far too long! They have a lush history of being extremely hot and stupid and that deserves to be celebrated!

Of course not, just look at the man. He\u2019s got the floppy hair of early-career Hugh Grant and the charisma of an amateur actor really trying to master Old English, and it\u2019s endlessly endearing. What\u2019s not to appreciate about a Jonathan Harker who is finally played the way he was written: handsome and dumb?<\/p>\n<p>Our love affair with Reeves has never been about his quality as an actor, but rather how in tune he is with the mood a film is trying to exude. With <em>Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula<\/em>, Reeves was more than up to the challenge of synthesizing <strong>Francis Ford Coppola<\/strong>\u2019s vision of Golden Age Hollywood elegance into a modern, mainstream horror film.<\/p>\n<p>So was it an intentional choice from Reeves to fully embrace the hokey charm of classic-era acting? Of course not, but goddammit it doesn\u2019t matter. You can\u2019t tear your eyes away from him, and that\u2019s a quality that isn\u2019t earned or learned but rather genetically bestowed to a himbo of Keanu\u2019s caliber.

When Mitch (voiced by <strong>Casey Affleck<\/strong>) first steps on screen in <em>ParaNorman<\/em>, your spidey-sense starts tingling. As the muscly cool older brother of pudgy Neil, he\u2019s too perfect a specimen to be anything other than an asshole.<\/p>\n<p>Shame on you. Didn\u2019t your mom teach you to not judge a book by its cover? Mitch is a total babe, and his synapses don\u2019t snap speedily, but his heart is strong, and his power of empathy matches the rest of our zombie-bashing heroes. After a few minutes alongside his titanic frame, you\u2019ll be swooning as much as Courtney\u2019s cheerleader. This dude is an absolute snack, but Courtney, he\u2019s not for you.

He wants to figure out what kind of man he\u2019s going to be. But he wasn\u2019t expecting a roving gang of Southern vampires to expedite the process. This horror himbo\u2019s a walking advert for Lee\u2019s jeans. He\u2019s rugged yet gentle and gives off very strong horse-boy-next-door energy.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb\u2019s a lover, not a fighter, but he\u2019ll commandeer a tractor-trailer if he has to. Our reluctant hero is a sweet Southern boy and what he lacks in brains (e.g. getting himself bitten by a beautiful drifter lady) he makes up for in charm, politeness, and a knuckle-headed dedication to the people he loves. Maybe it\u2019s best that Caleb doesn\u2019t intellectualize his circumstance; when you\u2019re suddenly running with a gang of vampire cowboys headed by a sadistic undead confederate soldier, country boy instinct may be just the ticket, in the end (Meg Shields)<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Dan_Cain_in_Re-Animator_1985\"><\/span>6.

Bimbos I\u2019m familiar with, but I never really saw their kind as stupid. Hot, sure. Pliable, of course. Kind, usually. But stupid? To me, they\u2019re women playing a role for the men in their lives. It\u2019s maybe not the choice I would make in their high-heeled shoes, but I understand both their need and their intention. But himbos? Men don\u2019t typically have to walk that same path, so a hot, stupid guy is often just that.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us to <strong>Bruce Abbott<\/strong> and his character Dan Cain in <em>Re-Animator<\/em>. Is he hot? Sure, if you dig guys in wife-beaters. And well-intentioned? Absolutely, as he just wants to help his friends. But stupid? Hell to the yes. A smart person wouldn\u2019t choose to spend time with a sweaty little bastard like Herbert West (no offense to Jeffrey Combs) over the dean\u2019s lovely, non-bimbo daughter Megan (Barbara Crampton). An intelligent man would have booted the little weirdo out of the apartment the second he found his girlfriend\u2019s dead cat in the dude\u2019s mini-fridge.<\/p>\n<p>That he continues to go along with West\u2019s increasingly insane schemes \u2014 and then after seeing them all implode in blood and madness, he still thinks it a good idea to inject poor Megan with a serum he knows won\u2019t end well for anyone \u2014 just seals his inclusion on this list of horror himbos.
