EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Big Joe Grizzly - Rob Zombie's Halloween

Rob Zombie's Halloween Big Joe Grizzly Ken Foree — Dimension Films

He may only be in the film for a handful of minutes, but Big Joe Grizzly is one of the more memorable supporting characters of Rob Zombie's Halloween.

Part of that is because he's played by the great Ken Foree, and part of that is because of Foree's delivery of lines about tacos talking back to him while he takes a bathroom break.

When Michael comes knocking on the toilet stall door, Joe's attempts to pull a knife on Michael are quickly reversed, and he's stabbed several times before Michael steals Joe's overalls and leaves his lifeless body lying in a pool of blood.

Will Brennan - Halloween H20

Halloween H20 Laurie Strode Will Brennan — Dimension Films

In some ways, you can't help but feel sorry for Will Brennan. After all, the woman he fell in love with, Keri Tate, wasn't who she said she was. And not just does he find out that Keri is really Laurie Strode, but he then learns about Laurie's murderous brother in this timeline.

Still, despite being told about Michael Myers and refreshed on his previous murder spree, you never really feel like Will takes the potential threat of Michael all that seriously. Even when Michael is on the scene at Hillcrest Academy, Will bafflingly mistakes LL Cool J's Ronny for Michael and shoots the poor fella.

Moments later, Michael emerges from the shadows, sticks a knife in the back of Will, and lifts him up in a way that mirrors certain other deaths in the franchise.

Floyd - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

Rob Zombie's Halloween II Floyd — Dimension Films

Floyd is one of the three people killed by Michael Myers as he walks through fields... and fields... and fields, with Floyd and his son-in-law Sherman deciding that they don't like strangers, and needlessly attacking Michael.

While the two do get Michael down, the Shape doesn't stay down for long, with Floyd the first to die, impaled on some deer antlers.

Sherman Benny - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

Rob Zombie's Halloween II Sherman Benny — Dimension Films

The second of those three victims - the third being his wife Jazlean - who meet Michael in the middle of a field, Sherman is stabbed to death in response for, to be perfectly honest, attacking Michael for absolutely no reason.

For such A-hole behaviour, he's stabbed multiple times, including across his eyes.
