EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Nurse Mary - Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers Nurse Mary — Dimension Films

Appearing only for a few minutes, this nurse, known only as Mary, doesn't make a stupid decision, but instead chooses to make an extremely brave, noble decision.

During the opening sequence of The Curse of Michael Myers, Mary is one of the nurses present when Jamie Lloyd gives birth to a baby boy. And it's Mary who eventually ushers Jamie and her baby to safety, allowing Jamie to escape the clutches of the Cult of Thorn. But in doing so, of course, that means Mary has the ire of the Shape, who swiftly appears and smashes her head onto a conveniently placed wall spike.

Misty Dawn - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

Rob Zombie's Halloween II Misty Dawn — Dimension Films

Having seen her boss/lover Big Lou brutalised by Michael, and then found the corpse of her co-worker Howard, The Rabbit in Red Lounge dancer Misty Dawn knew she was done for as soon as she was confronted by the Shape.

Upon revisiting his mother's old workplace, Michael takes Misty out by repeatedly bashing her head into a mirror.

Nurse Jill Franco - Halloween II

Like certain others in Halloween II, Nurse Jill Franco was simply trying to do her job, killed by Michael Myers at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital while doing her best to help Laurie Strode recover from the night he came home.

In terms of stupidity, Jill doesn't do too much wrong, really. Her death comes in the film's second act, as Laurie stumbles through the hospital's halls at a point that Michael is very much now on the scene. So much so, as Nurse Franco walks towards Laurie, the Shape steps out from a corridor, sticks a scalpel in her back, and lifts her off the floor in a way that mildly mirrors Bob's death from the original Halloween.

As an added touch, Nurse Franco's shoes drop off her feet as Michael claims yet another victim.
