10 Most Messed Up Horror Movie Siblings

You're likely thinking how on earth is someone as messed up as the Boogeyman himself ranked so relatively low on this list?!

Well it’s a little thing called ‘The Bizarre Continuity of the Halloween Timeline’. Even for die-hard fans of this juggernaut of a franchise, there is a lot of head-scratching involved when trying to explain the lore.

Essentially, as of Halloween II, Michael was revealed to be Laurie Strode’s brother, which is maintained throughout the silliness that was the Cult of Thorn story arc and the Rob Zombie remakes. It was used as a way to try and explain why Michael was so fixated on Laurie, and why their lives were so entwined.

However, the 2018 reboot/sequel completely retconned this and stated it was just a rumour.

Still, for about 30 years or so, Michael was the very, very messed up sibling of Laurie. Given how popular the film saga is, your scribe doesn't really need to go into detail as to why. The stabbing, hanging, strangling, dropping teeth into a toilet stall, electrocuting, boiling and of course stabbing someone with a shotgun...

Laurie herself is pretty messed up as a result of Michael and his actions. Yes, she's a badass and an icon of the horror genre, but it came at a terrible cost. She is severely traumatised, suffering from PTSD and emotionally distant from her family. She even died in the saga like three times! Get this woman a therapist immediately.
