10 Times You Totally Thought Horror Movie Characters Were Dead (But They Weren't)

10. Sondra Dickerson - Halloween Kills

Sondra Dickerson (Diva Tyler) was a minor but memorable character in 2018's Halloween - Laurie Strode's (Jamie Lee Curtis) neighbour who re-appears in sequel Halloween Kills where she and her husband are brutally attacked by Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney).

While trying to fight Michael off, Sondra is stabbed in the neck with a broken light tube, and as she seemingly bleeds out from her horrific injury, she's additionally forced to watch as Michael "tests out" a set of kitchen knives on her husband.

There didn't seem to be any doubt at all as to Sondra's demise given the traumatic extent of her injuries, but sure enough, she shows up again in Halloween Ends.

When Laurie is out shopping in Haddonfield, she's confronted by Sondra's sister, who blames her for bringing Michael back to the town, before we see Sondra, who sports a huge scar on her neck and is now unable to speak, while also being wheelchair-bound as a result of the attack.

Having suffered enough, Sondra at least survives the events of the film, and is even present when Michael is pulped by an industrial car crusher at the end of the movie.
