Michael Myers has a curious relationship with toilets. From the death of Annie Brackett to the brutal slaughter of horror legend Ken Foree in a public bathroom, there are a surprising amount of Halloween movies which feature Michael murdering someone in a lavatory.

After getting Michael riled up by trying to interview him for a true crime podcast, a pair of hapless podcasters find themselves on the killer's radar. Escaping from the institution where he was being held, Michael tracks the pair down to a roadside public bathroom.

In the film's most memorable sequence, Michael stalks the terrified Dana (Rhian Rees) across the bathroom, toying with her by scattering her dead colleague's teeth across the floor. He then makes short work of her too, recovering his iconic mask in the process. With this bit of business done with, Michael would return to Haddonfield - and to old foe Laurie Strode - but this remains the movie's most effective and chilling sequence.
