EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Michael Myers - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

Given how Rob Zombie's planned third Halloween movie never came to be, the death of his Michael Myers at the end of Halloween II really was it for that version of Michael.

That kill sees Michael fall back onto some farm equipment after being shot a few times by Sheriff Brackett, and it's Laurie Strode who finishes the job, stabbing her brother several times after telling him she loves him.

In terms of stupidity, this rare Michael death is very middle-of-the-road, having taken the unconscious Laurie to an abandoned shack, complete with plenty of visions of Deborah Myers, now from Laurie, too. It's also a nice slice of playback that it's Brackett who gets to play a key role in this death, getting a semblance of revenge for the death of his daughter Annie.

Kevin - Halloween (2018)

Kevin is the name of the first on-screen kill that we see in David Gordon Green's Halloween. Also, the death of Kevin is a rarity, as it's Michael killing a child.

With Michael being transferred from Smith's Grove, it's Kevin and his father who discover the transport bus crashed on the side of the road. After his old man disappears after going to explore the crash, Kevin takes a gun and goes to look for him, where he finds a security guard who shortly dies from the wounds of something.

Getting back in his vehicle, Kevin is totally unaware that Michael Myers is in the backseat, and the Shape swiftly breaks the kiddo's neck.

Jen Danzing - Halloween: Resurrection

When watching Halloween: Resurrection back, Katee Sackhoff is by far the biggest name in the cast, bar Jamie Lee Curtis' brief return as Laurie Strode. However, this was at a time before Sackhoff had yet to breakout as Starbuck in the Battlestar Galactica reboot. And so, she's just another body piled up by Michael Myers as Resurrection kicks into its final act.

By this point, our remaining survivors have been let in on the joke that Busta Rhymes' Freddie Harris has been playing dress-up as Michael, parading around the Myers House to make for more entertaining action for those streaming this chaos. Unbeknownst to our group, though, the real Michael is likewise stalking the Myers House.

It's here that Jen discovers the dead body of Bill from earlier in the movie, where she's confronted by the Shape, who decapitates her with a knife, causing Jen's head to roll down the staircase and land in front of her friends - hammering home that, yep, things have just gotten a whole lot more real.
