EVERY Halloween Death RANKED By Stupidity

Annie Brackett - Rob Zombie's Halloween II

Danielle Harris' Annie may have gone one better than Nancy Kyes' version, managing to survive until the sequel, but that sequel saw Michael Myers finally add Annie to his victims' list, and it's done in a very raw, emotional way.

Alone at home on Halloween night, Annie is attacked in her bathroom by Michael as she's brushing her teeth. What happens from there is a chase sequence where the bulk of the violence takes place off-screen, with us later getting to see Laurie Strode find Annie's dying body; Annie taking her final breaths in Laurie's arms.

For a movie that's so often about extremes and excess, the handling of Annie Brackett's death and its impact on Laurie is handled incredibly poignantly by Zombie and all involved.

Judith Myers - Halloween

When looking at the 200+ deaths of the Halloween franchise, it all starts with Judith Myers, Michael's older sister.

It's maybe easy to forget all these years later, but think back to the very first time you saw John Carpenter's Halloween, before you were fully aware of Michael and, more importantly, his origins. That first watch, especially if you went in completely blind, followed a first-person shot of somebody sneaking around outside a house, entering the kitchen, grabbing a knife, heading up the stairs, and repeatedly stabbing an unexpected young woman to death, as she screamed the name "Michael."

It's only when the killer heads outside the house that we realise he's an angelic-faced six-year-old boy, which is a thoroughly chilling revelation the first time you watch the 1978 Halloween.

For Judith Myers, there was no particular stupidity tied to her death. This was a girl slightly startled by her younger brother, who inappropriately walked in on her while she was undressed. While this was certainly a surprise, there was no way Judith could ever have expected her sibling to be capable of such evil.
