EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Lynda Van Der Klok - Halloween

"See anything you like?"

Unaware that her boyfriend Bob has just been killed downstairs by Michael Myers, Lynda welcomes a sheet-wearing, glasses-adorned Michael with that particular question, presuming the person under that sheet is Bob. Unfortunately for Lynda, this is not Bob, and she has not been brought a beer, as requested.

Instead, after a frustrated Lynda decides to ring Laurie Strode, she's strangled with the phone cord by Michael, with Laurie picking up the phone to hear her friend's final, gargled breaths.

The Motorist - Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

The second kill of The Curse of Michael Myers, this unknown motorist - as played by stuntman Tom Proctor - is startled to see Jamie Lloyd and her newborn baby stealing his truck as Jamie looks to make her escape from Michael and the Cult of Thorn.

The guy is on-screen for barely 30 seconds, if that, and gets his neck snapped by Michael while confusingly looking at Jamie.

Buddy Kupfer Sr. - Halloween III: Season of the Witch

The patriarch of the Kupfer family, and the entire reason they find themselves at the Silver Shamrock factory, Buddy has quite the time of it - going from being celebrated as one of Silver Shamrock's best salespeople, to seeing his son and wife die in front of him.

Buddy Sr.'s death ranks mildly more stupid than the rest of his family, just by the fact that he had a smidge more time to take in the situation. Then again, when that situation is your son's head spewing out bugs and snakes, and your wife dropping dead in shock, that's certainly quite the moment to find yourself in.

And it's one of those snakes that bites Buddy, causing him to drop to the floor, where he's consumed by a wide array of creepy-crawlies.
