EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Cameron Elam - Halloween Kills

While his father Lonnie is killed off-screen, the death of Cameron Elam is one we get to see in full, brutal glory.

After discovering his dad's dead body hanging out of the attic of the old Myers House, Cameron is immediately attacked by Michael, stabbed a few times, before then having his head slammed through the upstairs bannister. A lot.

With that, Michael puts an exclamation point on this attack by snapping the nearly-already-dead Cameron's neck, as his girlfriend Allyson watches on from the bottom of the stairs.

Buddy - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

The night watchman of Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, Buddy really should've listened to Laurie Strode.

After all, Laurie had just gone through the horrific events of the first Zombie Halloween movie, with Halloween II picking things up in the immediate aftermath as Michael Myers has tracked her down to the hospital, intent on killing anyone who gets in his way.

For Buddy, he should be praised in some ways for trying to calm Laurie, to reassure her that everything will be okay. The other side of that, though, is that if someone tells you that the boogeyman is back and slaughtering people in your hospital, maybe you pay a little more attention to those words. As such, Buddy winds up with an axe in his back.

Barry Simms - Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

A local shock jock who's running a big harvest festival on Halloween night, Barry kinda gets his just desserts for wanting to exploit the legend of Michael Myers and the trauma Haddonfield has endured over the decades.

After all, when Barry learns that Tim Strode now lives in the old Myers House, he decides to pause his live radio broadcast and finish the show from that ominous abode. The only problem for Barry is, he doesn't even make it to the Myers House, as Michael is waiting in Barry's van, where he guts him like a fish.
