The discovery of Dr. Mixter's dead body is done brilliantly in Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II, with the doc having had a syringe stuck in his eye. Unfortunately, Mixter doesn't make this list due to his death not being seen on-screen, and instead, his corpse just casually turns up in his office.
It's poor Nurse Marshall who's tasked with finding the deceased Mixter, and it doesn't take long for her to join him on Michael Myers' hit list. Unaware that Michael has been lurking in the shadows behind her, the obviously shocked Nurse Marshall receives a syringe to her temple that causes her to immediately drop down dead.
Steve Haley - Rob Zombie's Halloween
Dimension Films
In a particularly grim and disturbing movie, Steve is one of the more sympathetic characters of Michael Myers' initial killing spree in Rob Zombie's Halloween.
The boyfriend of Michael's sister Judith, this is someone who is shown actually being pretty nice to young Michael. While there are some truly despicable characters dotted across this film, Steve isn't one of them - and he's even the one who brings the famed William Shatner mask into the equation in this timeline.
Still, that doesn't stop him from having his head bashed in with a baseball bat shortly after having had sex with Judith.
Andrea Wagner - Halloween (2018)
Universeal
Listed on IMDb as Andrea Wagner, as played by Marian Sing, this poor woman is another caught totally off-guard by Michael, with Andrea staring out of her front window on Halloween night, completely unaware that Michael Myers has entered through the back of her house, with the Shape then sticking a kitchen knife through her throat.
