Alright, wrapping up the H20 timeline so I’ll conclude with some pretty big tables at the end to compare and contrast. Also, just because this is a Resurrection post, I’ll try to remember this is an analysis not a criticism.
The Kills
Franklin – Decapitated. 8 movies in and we’re just now getting a decapitation. Fantastic.
Willie – Throat slit.
Laurie F’n Strode – Stabbed and then dropped off the top of a psych ward. I’m torn between putting this in as a stabbing or counting this as the series first thrown off of a building because I’m sure that’s what actually kills her, but I think I’ll stick with stabbing. Mikey’s gotta have a specialization after all.
Charley – Impaled with a tripod.
Bill – Stabbed to death.
Donna – Impaled by a busted up gate. Still makes more sense than the random spike in the wall in part 6.
Jen – Decapitated with a chef’s knife. I’ve used a lot of chef’s knives of varying quality and while no, I didn’t say too much on the several times where the movie implies the strength of one could hold up a human body which we’ve seen quite a bit in this franchise, but you definitely aren’t cutting through bone, cartilage and everything else in a neck I don’t care how strong you are. That’s what cleavers are for. This is like trying to loosen your lugnuts on your car with a screwdriver. Sorry, not a place for criticism, rant over.
Jim – Killed with bare hands
Rudy – Stabbed to death, then hung up on a wall…as I was saying. I didn’t criticize every other time this has happened, I even called it iconic in the first one. Just wait till I do a Retroview of this series, I’ll tear it apart every time I see it.
Norma – It’s not really clear, it looks like she has a knife sticking out of her torso, but she’s found hanging so let’s just say she was hung.

Contrast on the methods Michael Myers kills in covered continuities. Numbers are going to be different from other tables because the H20 timeline is only going to include H20 and Resurrection so that we’re not double counting kills.
