Halloween 5 (1989) – Kills Analysis

The Kills

  • Mountain man – Michael comes up behind him, empty handed, and makes stabbing motions at the guy to death. I’m going to assume he beat the guy to death?
  • Rachel Carruthers – Stabbed to death with a pair of scissors.
  • Mikey – Stabbed in the head with a hand rake . It’s going to feel real bad considering I chose to make hammer claw to the head its own method of killing but I’m leaving this as a stabbing for now. That opinion might change if I find other films to compare this to and find other killers who fancy a hand rake but for now…
  • Spitz – Impaled with a pitchfork.
  • Samantha Thomas – Killed with a scythe. First slashing death?
  • Deputy Tom Farrah – Killed offscreen, he has 2 punctures in the neck so I’ll assume he was stabbed in the neck with the pitchfork.
  • Deputy Nick Ross – When Tom is discovered, you see Nick dead next to him. You can’t really tell what happens and could assume he was killed in the same way, but I’ll just leave it in unknown.
  • Tina – Stabbed in the chest with a chef’s knife.
  • Deputy Eddy – Has his head beaten into his steering wheel. I’ll just put this in killed by bare hands to be safe.
  • Deputy Charlie – Hung from a window with a rope ladder.
  • Dr. Max Hart – He’s pulled out on a stretcher and is implied that Michael killed him. Unknown as to how as the only glimpse you get of the body is him face down with a little bit of blood coming from the mouth.
  • 2nd body with Max Hart – They don’t even show the body to confirm who it is, just again, implied to be another victim of someone we haven’t been watching.

Just a note, I won’t be counting the random bodies lying around at the end as they are implied to have been killed by Wynn. In future counts I’ll keep separate counts for multiple killers in a movie / franchise for reference purposes…but I’m not sure anyone actually cares about Wynn. If I get people who want my census of deaths that guy would cause throughout the series I will but for now I’ll leave it alone.
