Mason Strode, we barely knew ye.

The adoptive father of Laurie Strode, Mason is kind of killed off-screen, but we have enough of an idea of what happened to him.

As Mason stands outside his home, about to join his wife Cynthia inside, he's suddenly punched in the face and grabbed by Michael, with us then switching to a knife-carrying Michael dropping the stabbed, bloody corpse of Mason in front of Cynthia as he decides she's next on his hitlist.

For the pure speed of this assault out of nowhere, Mason never stood a chance.

In hindsight, and with what we know from the 'rules' of horror - thanks, Randy Meeks - Bob's goose was cooked the moment he told his girlfriend Lynda that he'd "be right back" after she told him to go and get her a beer.

I mean, you can maybe look a smidge disprovingly at Bob and Lynda for not only taking over the Wallace family's house, but for having sex in the Wallace parents' bed, but Bob is one of those poor souls who had no idea that a masked maniac was on a murderous rampage in the small town of Haddonfield that night.

So, when Bob grabs a beer in the dark Wallace family kitchen, it's easy to see why he'd be caught off-guard when Michael Myers jumps out of nowhere, with some fair ol' force, too, and lifts Bob against a wall, before pinning him to it with a knife in one of the franchise's more memorable kills. This is also the first time we get to see Michael admiring his work with a post-kill head tilt or two.

The Bob of Rob Zombie's Halloween had near-enough the same fate as the Bob of John Carpenter's 1978 picture, stabbed and pinned against a wall by Michael Myers after going to grab some post-coital beers. The only slight difference is that the original Bob was killed in the kitchen of the Wallace House, whereas the 2007 Bob met his fate on the staircase of the Myers House.

Interestingly, Bob actor Nick Mennell has the unique privilege of appearing in both the Halloween remake and Marcus Nispel's Friday the 13th redo.
