* TooDumbToLive: Bobby Joe for running out of the cabin and straight into the evil infested woods after being scared by Ash's disembodied hand. Jake is even worse, forcing everyone out of the cabin at gunpoint to go look for Bobby Joe, along with idiotically stuffing the vital Necronomicon pages needed to save the day down into the cellar with the Deadite Henrietta.
