EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Big John - Halloween Kills

Halloween Kills Michael Myers Big John
Universal

Big John and Little John are a couple who own the Myers House by the time of David Gordon Green's trilogy. Big John and Little John also make some stupid decisions that lead to their deaths.

The main stupid decision made is deciding to separately search the house when they notice their back door open and a bloody handprint on the wall. For Big John, he's stabbed in the armpit and has his eyes gouged out in grim fashion when Michael attacks him in the old bedroom of Judith Myers.

While Big John gets included here, Little John doesn't, as his death happens off-screen. After finding Big John's lifeless body and Michael staring out of that bedroom window, Little John, who has a knife in his hand, freezes and spouts a line about Michael having come home, before we cut to a shot from outside the old Myers House, as Michael closes in on Little John.

Later in the movie, we'd see the dead bodies of both Johns laid out together in their front room.

Ronnie White - Rob Zombie's Halloween

Played by genre fave Bill Forsythe, Ronnie is one of the absolute most detestable characters in the entire Halloween franchise.

From the moment we meet Michael's stepfather, it's immediately clear that he is a total scumbag, as he throws tantrums, trashes the kitchen, berates Debroah Myers, makes all kinds of creepy comments towards Judith Myers, and has nothing but disdain for Michael.

Fortunately, Ronnie's killed off fairly early into Rob Zombie's first Halloween, with young Michael duct-taping the passed-out-drunk Ronnie to a chair, slitting his throat, and throwing in a few extra stabs for good measure.

Marion Chambers - Halloween Kills

Having been killed in Halloween H20's opening in that timeline, the timeline of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy has Marion Chambers offed in Halloween Kills.

Now retired, Chambers, played again by a returning Nancy Stephens, is the first of the 1978 characters to fall victim to Michael in Halloween Kills, and it's a death that's somewhat frustrating in the stupidity stakes.

Marion is one of those on the hunt for Michael; one of those who, unfortunately, finds Michael and pays the price for that.

In a callback to John Carpenter's original Halloween, Michael grabs at Marion through a car window, which causes her to fire off a few stray bullets. With those stray shots very much coming back to bite her, Marion then has Michael in her crosshairs, utters a line about this being for Dr. Loomis, fires her gun... only for it to now be out of bullets.

From there, Michael stabs Marion to death.
