Angus Taylor is the groundskeeper in the cemetery where [|Judith Myers] is buried and leads Dr. Loomis to her grave, only to find the headstone stolen.

Annie Brackett

  • Portrayed by Nancy Loomis and Danielle Harris
  • Appears in: Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween: Resurrection, Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween , Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends
  • Status: Deceased
  • Died in: Halloween and Halloween II
Annie Brackett first appears is in the original Halloween film. She is one of Laurie Strode's best friends, and the daughter of Haddonfield's sheriff, [|Leigh Brackett]. She is portrayed as having a very rebellious and sardonic personality. On Halloween night, she is babysitting [|Lindsey] Wallace near Laurie, and the two friends gossip over the telephone throughout the evening. After leaving Lindsey with Laurie in order to go and meet her boyfriend [|Paul], Annie is murdered by Michael Myers, who strangles her in her car and slits her throat. Michael then sets up her corpse for Laurie to find, leaving her in the Wallaces' bed with Judith Myers' tombstone placed behind her body. Annie makes a cameo appearance in Halloween II as her father, Sheriff Brackett, closes her eyes as her corpse is being taken out of the house in a stretcher.
The character's more recent onscreen appearances occur in Rob Zombie's Halloween reboot and its sequel. As with the original, in the reboot, Annie is Laurie's sassy friend from high school and Lindsey's babysitter. However, her encounters with Michael Myers are different: walking home from school, she sees and cursingly threatens him from across the street, remarking that her 'daddy is the sheriff'. A few hours later, that Halloween night, she goes to leave Lindsey and her babysitting duties to Laurie in order to have a secret date with Paul, an older schoolmate, that soon arrives in his car and takes Annie back to Lindsey's house. There, Annie is kissing Paul while stopping his attempts to pull her sweater off, until she agrees and leaves herself topless. Preparing to have sex with Paul, Annie fails to see Michael nearing them until he attacks. While Paul is instantly killed, the frightened Annie makes a run for the front door, almost escaping, but is caught. Michael pulls her back inside, however, she manages to slip away and get a kitchen knife, attempting to face the towering killer. Her resistance quickly ends with Annie captured alive, exposed to Michael's crueler attacks; she is left lying on the floor brutally tortured and bleeding when Laurie brings Lindsey home, although her father finds her still alive some time later due to Laurie having called 9-1-1.
In the following sequel, Annie, although slightly disfigured with the scars from her near-fatal attack, is shown to be much more stable than Laurie, who is living with Annie and her father. On a Halloween night when she is at home alone, Michael breaks into the Brackett house, seizes the fleeing Annie then stabs her repeatedly off-screen. When she arrives home, Laurie finds Annie on the bathroom floor, naked and severely wounded by Michael. Annie then tries to persuade Laurie to leave the house, without success, until she dies.

Barry Simms

Barry Simms, is the host of the radio show Back Talk. Barry was often rude to his callers, even ignoring Jamie Lloyd's call for help. Barry was killed by Michael, who stabbed Barry in the chest and hung his corpse from a tree. Simms was originally intended to be portrayed by and modeled after Howard Stern, who declined in order to appear in his own film Private Parts.

Sheriff Ben Meeker

Ben Meeker, is the father of [|Kelly Meeker], who becomes a victim at the hands of Michael Myers. Sheriff Ben Meeker is an integral part of Halloween 4, as he attempts to help Dr. Loomis find and destroy Michael. In the next installment, Ben Meeker returns but has less screen time than in the previous film, and once again attempts to help destroy Michael in order to protect Jamie Lloyd. Towards the end of the film, Michael is locked in a cell, however, a shoot out begins, which allows him to escape and kills Ben in the process.

Ben Tramer

  • Portrayed by Jack Verbois
  • Appears in: Halloween , Halloween II, Halloween , Halloween Kills
  • Status: Deceased
Alive
  • Died in: Halloween II
Bennett Samuel "Ben" Tramer attends Haddonfield High School with Laurie Strode, Annie Brackett, Lynda Van der Klok, [|Paul Freedman] and [|Bob Simms]. It is revealed by Laurie in the original Halloween film that she has a crush on Ben when she tells Annie that she would like to go to the dance with him. Later in the film, Annie tells Laurie that she called Ben and told him, and that he was interested. However, Laurie is embarrassed by this and asks Annie to call him back and tell him that she was only kidding. But Annie tells Laurie that she would only consider doing so if she babysits Lindsey while she goes to pick up her boyfriend, to which Laurie agrees.
In the sequel, someone in a very similar but varied mask as Michael Myers runs into the street without looking and gets hit by a squad car which pins him to another vehicle that bursts into flames, leading to his death. At the morgue, a dentist is unable to match the burnt victim's teeth to Michael's due to the body's state and a lack of resources. Later on, Ben's two friends Craig and Randy run up to Deputy Gary Hunt, who is standing in front of the old Myers house with Dr. Loomis, to report the Halloween mask-wearing Ben Tramer as being drunk after leaving a Halloween party and missing in action. This leads Dr. Loomis to believe the teenager was indeed the victim, and to suggest that the dentist should confirm this.
In Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of Halloween, Ben is said to have a crush on Laurie which is told to her by Annie.
In Halloween Kills, Ben is mentioned once again to be Laurie's high school crush by [|Deputy Frank Hawkins] and in the sequel, it is revealed that he survived the events of Halloween night 1978 and has a son named [|Robert] and a grandson named [|Terry] who is attending Haddonfield High School much like he did in his youth.
