10 Horror Characters We ALL Foolishly Thought Had Got Away
4. Rachel Carruthers - Halloween 4 & 5
One of the most out of pocket deaths to ever come from the Halloween franchise was the brutal killing of Rachel Carruthers in Halloween 5.
Her heroic show of courage and care in Halloween 4, in which she protected adopted sister Jamie from all hell and high water, seemingly wasn’t enough to earn her a life. Having survived all of Michael’s shenanigans in Halloween 4, we naively thought that maybe she would be made into another badass final-girl type for the franchise.
We weren’t correct, of course, as when Halloween 5 came about she was quickly slashed from the Halloween ensemble. Whilst getting ready in her house she fails to notice she’s not alone, and just moments after lovingly admiring a photo of herself and sister Jamie (which is mysteriously smashed and on the floor, may I add), Michael appears to finish her off.
She gets a classic slasher death: being stabbed multiple times with a pair of scissors. It seems beneath her really; she could’ve been a hero and we all stupidly thought she might get the chance!
