10 Slasher Horror Movie Characters Who Were Seconds Away From Dying

10. Lindsey Wallace - Halloween Kills

When it was announced that Kyle Richards would be reprising her role of Lindsey Wallace in Halloween Kills - a part she originated as a child in John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween - the first question from many fans was, "How is she going to die?"

But while fellow returning character Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall) was indeed felled by Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney), Lindsey just barely made it out of the sequel alive.

It certainly wasn't for lack of trying on Myers' part, though, as when Kyle attacks him with a sack of bricks (!) in the movie's climax, he responds by grabbing her throat and shoving her against the nearby car.

Michael looks like he's about two seconds away from crushing Lindsey's windpipe, snapping her neck, or simply crushing her head to a sheer pulp, but she quite smartly decides to quickly rip his mask off.

Michael's a bit particular about wearing his mask, as you might know, and so immediately throws Lindsey to the ground while he puts it back on, giving her precious seconds to flee into the nearby woods and successfully hide from Michael.
