EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

A Bunch Of Firefighters - Halloween Kills

The most impressive scene of Halloween Kills, and one of the most impressive scenes of the entire Halloween franchise, seeing Michael Myers taking down an entire group of firefighters is certainly a sight to behold.

Picking up the action immediately following Halloween's fiery finale, firefighters arrive at Laurie Strode's house, which is engulfed in flames and has Michael trapped in its basement. And upon entering that house, one of those firefighters falls through the damaged floor, dropping into the basement and coming face-to-face with the Shape.

Before you know it, Michael is standing on the property's front porch, as our firefighters realise their fire tools are now needed to be used as weapons to fight Myers. With the spectacular backdrop of a burning building, complete with some brilliant first-person shots from those firefighters, Michael decimates the group in a way we've never really seen before; an apex predator in its element.

In terms of numbers, Tommy Doyle later makes mention of 11 public servants who lost their lives to Michael, which seems to be a reference to these deaths, though a final figure is never particularly confirmed, and that 11 could well include two cops from the end of the previous movie.

Willie Haines - Halloween: Resurrection

His partner Franklin may have been killed off-screen, but Grace Andersen Sanitarium security guard Willie's death was at least one we got to witness.

Finding Franklin's head in a dryer during Resurrection's opening, Willie then trips over his pal's headless body, where he has his throat slit in fairly generic fashion.

Considering that Willie worked in a facility for the mentally unstable, including murderers, and that he'd heard his partner's terrified screams, you'd have expected him to be a little more vigilant here. But nope, he immediately made himself fodder for Michael.

Jim Morgan - Halloween: Resurrection

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and that's something that Resurrection's Jim learned the hard way.

With the cat out of the bag that the real Michael Myers is stalking the Myers House, Jim decides to take the fight directly to the Shape, attacking him with a camera tripod.

As one would expect, this doesn't work out all that way for Jim, as Michael squeezes Jim's head until he dies.
