10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died (But Survived The Remake)

10. Annie Brackett - Halloween

While Laurie Strode clearly gets the spotlight in John Carpenter's iconic Halloween, one could argue that Annie Brackett (Nancy Loomis) is the most enjoyable character in that picture.

Complete with a dry sense of sarcasm to whatever she's doing, Annie brings an energy to proceedings whenever she's on screen. Like her pal Lynda, though, poor Brackett is one of those friends of Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie who ends up offed by Michael Myers on the night he came home.

That demise sees Annie attacked in her car by the Shape, as Myers strangles her and slices her throat. And with that, audiences get their first glimpse of the present-day Michael fully in action.

By the time Rob Zombie's Halloween remake came around in 2007, Zombie very much decided to make this movie his own. Whether you like that redo or not, one cannot argue that Rob, for better or worse, made something different to Carpenter's '78 film rather than simply retelling the same note-for-note tale.

Where the Annie Brackett character is concerned, one difference in Rob Zombie's picture is that, while she's attacked by Michael, Danielle Harris' Annie just about survives that assault.

Unfortunately for Annie, she would still have her life brought to an end courtesy of Myers, with him returning to brutally finish the job in Zombie's Halloween II.
