Assigned by Sheriff Brackett to protect the Brackett House and his daughter Annie, Deputy Neale is ambushed from out of nowhere by Michael Myers.
It's a little hard to see the specifics of what happened to Neale due to the lighting and the quickness of the attack, but it appears he had his neck snapped and a piece of metal shoved through his head.
Sandwich Woman - Halloween (2018)
Universal
Played by Marian Green, who also did stunt work on the movie, this unnamed character is listed on IMDb as simply Sandwich Woman.
A death that technically happens off-screen, there's enough seen for this one to warrant inclusion here. For Sandwich Woman, she's casually making herself, well, a sandwich, blissfully unaware that Michael Myers is back in town. Before she can even dig into her sandwich, Michael enters her kitchen and brutalises her with a hammer, as we then get a grim glimpse at the end result of this particular attack.
Paul - Rob Zombie's Halloween
Dimension Films
Paul might not get a last name in the credits, but he at least gets to appear on-screen, unlike his 1978 namesake that was only ever heard on the phone.
The boyfriend of Annie Brackett, Paul's caught off-guard whilst making out on a sofa with Annie, with his death another extremely swift one that sees him fatally stabbed and dumped on the floor, as Michael then goes after Annie. We later see Paul's corpse with a pumpkin over its head.
