10 Horror Movies That Punish You For Getting Wasted

7. John Strode - Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers

The Halloween franchise is one that has its fair share of d**kheads dotted across its 11 (soon to be 12, then to be 13) movies. When it comes to the biggest d**k of them all, though, it could well be Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers' John Strode (Bradford English) who takes top spot.

Mercifully for audiences, John is killed off during this sixth Halloween's first act.

A aggressive, abusive husband and father, this asshat returns home from work to an empty house after his poor wife had discovered that the family were living in the Myers house; a fact that John had conveniently hid from his bride.

Having already hit the bottle in work after his angry conversation with wife Debra, the Strode family patriarch continues his supping once back at his abode. Once the power goes out, the tipsy John heads to the basement to fix this problem and keep his One Man Party going.

There, in the basement of the house where he killed his sister when he was just six years of age, Michael Myers is waiting to murder John in one of the most memorable deaths in the entire Halloween series - with the Shape stabbing Strode and then electrocuting him for good measure.
