Halloween Kills: 10 Biggest WTF Moments

10. Hawkins Lives

In one of the previous film's most contentious moments, Doctor Sartain stopped Sherrif Hawkins from killing Michael by stabbing him in the throat with a concealed weapon.

The twist reveal of Sartain being evil was rightfully chastised by fans and was seen as being nothing more than a plot device to bring Michael and Laurie together for the third act showdown. What stung the most though, was that a potentially great character like Hawkins was needlessly killed for such an arbitrary reason.

Or so we thought...

At the beginning of Halloween Kills, Hawkins is discovered in the middle of the road by Cameron. At a first glance, it would appear he's bled out, but he soon comes to and he's quickly rushed to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, where he spends the rest of the movie with Laurie at his bedside. The two of them sweetly recalling an unfulfilled night of passion that they shared many years previously.

Given the brutal nature of Sartain's attack, audiences were genuinely surprised to see that Hawkins had managed to survive, especially given his age and the sheer amount of blood he'd lost, but then again, this is a Halloween movie so anything is possible.
