EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Marshal Terrence Gummell - Halloween II

Taking over as the central police figure once Sheriff Brackett exits Halloween II after learning of his daughter Annie's death, Marshal Gummell doesn't particularly do all that much, bar getting shouted at and shot at by Sam Loomis, and then becoming one of the most stupid deaths of Halloween II.

In fact, Gummell is the most stupid death of Halloween II, with that demise coming after he, Loomis, and Marion Chambers arrive at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital as Michael smashes through the front door and lunges towards them. Luckily, Loomis fires off a bunch of bullets into Michael's chest, causing the rogue to drop to the floor.

Idiotically, Gummell then goes and inspects the Shape from close range, with zero protection or any sense of caution. And so, he pays for that naivety by Michael springing up and slicing his throat with a scalpel.
