EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Charlie Deveraux - Halloween H20

You don't actually see the action of Michael Myers killing Charlie in H20, but you see Charlie encounter the shape, then see Charlie's dead body shortly after, with a stab wound that looks like it came from a corkscrew.

This all comes at a point when the few people left at Hillcrest Academy had no idea that Michael Myers was on the rampage, nor did the school kids have any idea that their headmistress, Keri Tate, is really Laurie Strode. This also all plays out in a timeline that ignores everything since the events of Halloween II, which is a film that took place in 1978. The point being, Michael had been inactive for 20 years, with him long presumed to have died in Halloween II's fiery finale.

As such, the last thing on young Charlie's mind would be a serial killer who was last active before Charlie was even born, let alone that this killer was not dead, and that he was really the brother of his headmistress - a headmistress who was the sole survivor of Michael's last murder spree.

Gary Scott - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

You can always count on Rob Zombie to throw in some questionable dialogue when it comes to his movies, and the first two victims of his Halloween II certainly fit that bill.

One of those is a coroner by the name of Gary Scott, as played by Richard Brake, who makes all kinds of creepy comments that verge on necrophilia. After he and his grubby pal crash into a cow - yes, a cow - while transporting Michael's supposedly dead body, that crash wakes up the totally-not-dead Shape, who then proceeds to decapitate Gary with a piece of glass.

It's a brutal death, and one that very much sets the tone for Zombie's Halloween II.

Lynda Van Der Klok - Rob Zombie's Halloween

Yep, the remake's Lynda death is fairly similar to the original Lynda's demise, with her choked to death minutes after her boyfriend Bob has been killed by Michael. The only difference is that, rather than a phone cord to get the job done, Michael chokes Lynda with his bear hands this time out.

Given the completely empty setting of the derelict Myers House in the remake, this one ranks mildly more stupid than the original movie's Lynda death, as surely it'd be even easier to hear Bob being killed here.
