10 Terrifying Horror Movie Deaths You Don't Remember

9. Unnamed Doctor - Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is often viewed as the low point of the Halloween franchise. A hugely troubled production led to an utter turd of a movie, and Curse ended up being the film that caused the series to undergo a complete reset with Halloween H20. Well, until the canon of H2O was itself undone with David Gordon Green's 2018 Halloween, not to mention Rob Zombie's do-over of the property with his two films of the 2000s.

Still, one thing that The Curse of Michael Myers does have going for it, is that this sixth Halloween picture has some pretty darn gnarly kills.

While some remember Jamie Lloyd getting her stomach churned up by a piece of farm machinery, and others recall the electrifying demise of uber-d**khead John Strode, one Curse death that often gets forgotten is that of a random doctor towards the picture's climax.

There, with Michael Myers having decided to slaughter several members of the Thorn cult he was associated with, the bodies of plentiful corrupt, now totally dead medical personnel quickly pile up. Just as one unnamed doctor - played by Fred Lerner - thinks he's escaped the Shape's clutches, Michael grabs him and brutally pushes the fella's face through the bars of a metal gate.
