* OnlySaneMan: She is certainly the more intelligent and fight-capable between her husband and herself, given that she's been trained to defend herself while Ray was not. [[spoiler:This plays into her husband dying in the 2018 film while Karen survives until the end of the sequel.]]

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Michael from the last two films. During those movies, Michael was getting old, which resulted in him copping a lot more injuries and sometimes opting for a CombatPragmatist route. Corey, on the other hand, is in his twenties and is way more able-bodied, and experienced with engineering equipment which comes in handy during the massacre at the junk yard. He also only targets people who he feels wronged him personally, though he will kill others who are in his way. Contrast with Michael, who kills randomly for no apparent reason. Corey also lacks Michael's borderline superhuman abilities; as soon as he's up against someone he can't sneak attack, he goes down in no time.

Corey also lacks Michael's borderline superhuman abilities; as soon as he's up against someone he can't sneak attack, he goes down in no time. Michael's face is also almost always covered with little clear idea of what he even looks like underneath while Corey's appearance is known before he ever wears a mask. And while Michael was simply born evil, has no catalyst for his actions and never expresses any conflict or remorse, Corey was a flawed but well-meaning and sincerely kind young man whose guilt over accidentally getting a child killed and his isolation cause him to snap and eventually comes back from the brink enough to try and stop Michael. They also have radically different origins as Michael committed his first murder intentionally as a child while Corey's first death was an accident for which he felt genuinely remorseful and occured in adulthood.

The sheriff
of Lonnie Elam, Tommy's bully from the original ''Halloween''.Haddonfield.



* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Averted in ''Kills'', despite his actions as TheMillstone in the previous film, he did not deserve to be killed so gruesomely.]]
* TheAtoner: In ''Kills'' he tried to reconcile with Allyson for his actions in the last film.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: On the outside, he's likable when he has to be. Then he kisses another girl and trashes Allyson's phone. Subverted in a beginning of a deleted scene when Cameron does really care for Allyson, apologizes for trashing her phone and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one. The subversion is confirmed in the sequel, with Cameron regretting his actions, and genuinely trying to mend things with Allyson.
* BrokenPedestal: After his tiff with Allyson including wrecking her phone, he becomes this to the latter that leads to their break-up. In a deleted scene, Cameron tries to become a RebuiltPedestal to her by apologizing for breaking her phone and offering to purchase a new one.
* TheCharmer: He's quite charismatic and charming, and quickly wins over Allyson's parents.
* CrazyJealousGuy: He becomes this after drinking at the dance, getting angry and jealous that Allyson left for a few minutes to take a personal phone call, [[{{Hypocrite}} yet accepts a kiss from another girl while she's gone before trashing her phone when it rings again as she's confronting him]].
* GenderFlip: InUniverse. He and his girlfriend went as Bonnie and Clyde, with Allyson going as Clyde while Cameron went as Bonnie.
* HateSink: Despite [[BitchInSheepsClothing acting]] otherwise, he's quite a jerk and a terrible boyfriend who doesn't respect Allyson. [[spoiler:Contrary to slasher movie tradition, he's not seen to be killed by Michael. Subverted in ''Halloween Kills'' where he gets a RasputinianDeath from Michael it was quite horrific.]] Subverted in a beginning of a deleted scene when a guilt-ridden Cameron does apologizes for trashing her phone and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: A non-fatal example as in a deleted scene, Cameron does apologizes for trashing her phone and his behavior and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one. Then after sassy-mouthing a couple of cops, he gets arrested. [[spoiler:Played straight in ''Kills'' upon being given a RasputinianDeath.]]
* InTheBlood: He is much of a bully as his father Lonnie was towards Tommy back in 1978. Subverted and Played Straight again in the sequel. The subversion is that Lonnie is no longer the bully he was as a child, and straight version is that Cameron sheds his own asshole nature as well.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In a deleted scene, despite appearing to be a bastard boyfriend who broke Allyson's cell phone at the dance, he does felt bad for his action after having a JerkassRealization and tries to apologize to her and make up for it by offering to buy her another one. Then when he is arrested, it is revealed he is the one who asked his friend Oscar to escort Allyson back home rather than Oscar escorting her at his own accord that the theatrical cut's impression it gave out. Then in ''Film/HalloweenKills'', he assists his father and Allyson in hunting down Michael, revealed to be the one who found and rescued an injured Hawkins and is shown deeply regretting what he did earlier.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: He takes his bullying tendencies after his father Lonnie. A double reversion in the sequel, with father and son [[TookALevelInKindness being considerably nicer]] than they were in their previous film appearance.
* LowerClassLout: He and his family led by his father Lonnie gained notoriety in Haddonfield due to being this because of their bad manners and run-ins with the law.
* ManipulativeBastard: He pretends to be likable to get the approval of Allyson and her parents, then he shows his true colors at the school dance. Subverted in a deleted scene when it shows he does actually care for Allyson when she attempts to apologize to her for his bad behavior. The sequel canonizes the subversion where Cameron's first scene is him calling Oscar because he wants to try and mend things with Allyson.
* TheMillstone: His trashing of Allyson's phone while Laurie tried to warn her is what puts her in danger later in the movie.
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:After an extended, torturous beating, Michael finally ends Cameron's suffering by breaking his neck, twisting it a full 180 degrees around.]]
* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:Michael draws out his death and makes it especially violent and savage, if only to torment Allyson.]]
* SchrodingersCast: Had the aforementioned deleted scene been kept in the film, it would give out a different depiction outcome then the HateSink the theatrical cut make him out as. The sequel fully places Cameron in the JerkWithAHeartOfGold pile, maintaining the character's original subversion of being a HateSink.
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Film/HalloweenKills'', he joins the hunt for Michael along with his father Lonnie, arming himself with a Beretta 92.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Cameron's drunken fit when Allyson catches him kissing another girl [[DisasterDominoes has repercussions for the rest of the film]] — he trashes her phone, which leads her to abandon him at the dance (which is evacuated shortly after she leaves), walk home, and eventually encounter Michael with no way to summon help or get in touch with her family. [[spoiler:Getting picked up by Deputy Hawkins and Dr. Sartain results in the final sequence of events falling into place.]] This sequence of events also [[spoiler:inadvertently gets Oscar killed, as he wouldn't have crossed paths with Michael otherwise.]]

to:

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Averted NiceJobBreakingItHero: He doesn't take the threat of an escaped mental patient, who had murdered five people several years ago, just recently escaped from a prison bus, killing four more people including ''a child'' in ''Kills'', the process, serious enough to cancel Halloween, which probably would have lowered the death toll Michael caused.
** He also makes Hawkins take Dr. Sartain with him while looking for Michael. To be fair, he couldn't possibly have known that [[spoiler:Sartain was a budding psychopath obsessed with Michael]], but Hawkins points out that he's an unarmed civilian, who Barker wants Hawkins to take along with him. [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Sartain also has no idea how Michael operates]], outside of unproven theories,
despite being his pyschologist for ''forty years''.
** This eventually leads to a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment for him in the following film, where
his actions as TheMillstone in the previous film, he did not deserve [[spoiler: lead to be killed so gruesomely.a full-out anger mob forcing a man they mistook for Michael to kill himself.]]
* TheAtoner: In ''Kills'' he tried to reconcile with Allyson for his actions in the last film.

* GenderFlip: InUniverse. He and his girlfriend went as Bonnie and Clyde, with Allyson going as Clyde while Cameron went as Bonnie.
* HateSink: Despite [[BitchInSheepsClothing acting]] otherwise, he's quite a jerk and a terrible boyfriend who
doesn't respect Allyson. [[spoiler:Contrary do any sort of law enforcement, leaving the job to slasher movie tradition, he's not seen Deputy Hawkins. [[spoiler:After his failure to be killed by Michael. Subverted prevent the mob in ''Halloween Kills'' where he gets a RasputinianDeath from Michael it was quite horrific.]] Subverted in a beginning of a deleted scene when a guilt-ridden Cameron does apologizes for trashing her phone hounding an innocent man to his death, Barker seems to realize and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: A non-fatal example as in a deleted scene, Cameron does apologizes for trashing her phone and
deeply lament his behavior and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one. Then after sassy-mouthing a couple of cops, he gets arrested. [[spoiler:Played straight in ''Kills'' upon being given a RasputinianDeath.own uselessness.]]
* InTheBlood: He ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:In ''Halloween Ends'', after seeing that Michael is much of a bully as his father Lonnie was towards Tommy back in 1978. Subverted and Played Straight again finally dead, Barker allows for normal police procedure to be violated in the sequel. The subversion is that Lonnie is no longer name of giving the bully he was as town a child, and straight version is that Cameron sheds his own asshole nature as well.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In a deleted scene, despite appearing
sense of closure, allowing Laurie to be a bastard boyfriend who broke Allyson's cell phone at mulch Michael's corpse in full view of the dance, he does felt bad for his action after having a JerkassRealization and tries townspeople to apologize to her and make up for it by offering to buy her another one. Then when he is arrested, it is revealed he is the one who asked his friend Oscar to escort Allyson back drive home rather than Oscar escorting her at his own accord that the theatrical cut's impression it gave out. Then in ''Film/HalloweenKills'', he assists his father and Allyson in hunting down Michael, revealed to be the one who found and rescued an injured Hawkins and Shape is shown deeply regretting what he did earlier.

Thanks to Dr. Sartain [[spoiler: killing Hawkins, then kidnapping Allyson and Michael, with the intent to drive Michael to Laurie's house as part of a sick experiment to view pure evil in a "controlled environment", Michael escaped, killed him, and ended up following the road Sartain was driving down to Laurie's house, but not before brutally killing the two policemen as part of a distraction to lure Ray out of the house, so he could kill him and gain entry to home in order to murder the one person who got away from him so long ago]]...

* DramaticSlip: Her socks cause her to slip on the floor when she's escaping from Michael [[spoiler:which leads to her death.]]

However, unlike Annie, Vicky genuinely cares about Julian and [[spoiler: screams for him to run when Michael attacks her.]]
* NiceGirl: She jokingly teases Julian and tells him he's the worst kid she babysits, but later tells him he's actually her favorite kid and immediately checks on him after hearing a noise. [[spoiler:When she's being attacked and he comes back to help her, she screams for him to run.]]
* SlashersPreferBlondes: Much like Lynda in the original movie, [[spoiler:Vicky is murdered by Michael.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with Julian, the little kid she babysits. They trade barbs and insult each other, but it's obviously all in fun, and she tells him he's her favorite kid she babysits when putting him to bed.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
Michael slits open [[spoiler: Richards']] throat, kills her, she tells him to run [[spoiler: Francis]], then proceeds cut off his ''freaking head'' using only the little knife he got off [[spoiler: the good doctor]], cuts out [[spoiler: his eyes and save himself.bits of his face so it would resemble a jack-o-lantern, hollows out the head taking out neck bones, brains, and other viscera, shoves a lit flashlight through the throat to make the head glow, then finally places Richards' corpse in their patrol car, with Francis' head in his lap and the pen-knife through his temple, and drives towards Laurie's house]].

* DefiantToTheEnd: Throws IntergenerationalFriendship: Richards is in his 30s while Francis is in his late 50s or 60s.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed; Richards insults Hawkins by calling him
a chair at "burnout", but for the most part he's a NiceGuy who tries to give his partner an exotic sandwich, protects the Strode-Nelson family, and he goes with Francis to check on Hawkins after seeing his abandoned patrol car with no response coming from it.
* KilledOffscreen: It's probably for the best that we didn't see how
Michael after [[spoiler:he stabs her but he murders her after she slips.[[spoiler: used Francis' head to try out his pumpkin carving skills.]]
* DramaticSlip: Her socks cause her to slip on the floor when she's escaping from OffWithHisHead: Michael [[spoiler:which leads decapitates [[spoiler: Francis]] and does bad things with the head...
* PluckyComicRelief: Their back-and-forth about their eating habits, with Richards knocking Francis for bringing a brownie as his dinner, would make them qualify. The exchange is inconsistent with a slasher film and is more reminiscent of something from the 2018 film's writers' usual comedies.
* PoliceAreUseless: They tried, they really did. But

Then he apologizes when his girlfriend reminds him that he just said that to their friend, whose grandmother was one of the few survivors of Michael's rampage.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. He's a spacy idiot and a bit insensitive about the horrors Laurie experienced, but he's a decent enough kid [[spoiler:who dies fighting Michael in a failed attempt to save his girlfriend.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: On the outside, he's likable when he has to be. Then he kisses another girl and trashes Allyson's phone. Subverted in a beginning
of him, a deleted scene when Cameron does really care for Allyson, apologizes for trashing her phone and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one. The subversion is confirmed in the sequel, with Cameron regretting his actions, and genuinely trying to mend things with Allyson.
* BrokenPedestal: After his tiff with Allyson including wrecking her phone,
he bears becomes this to the latter that leads to their break-up. In a deleted scene, Cameron tries to become a RebuiltPedestal to her by apologizing for breaking her phone and offering to purchase a new one.
* TheCharmer: He's quite charismatic and charming, and quickly wins over Allyson's parents.
* CrazyJealousGuy: He becomes this after drinking at the dance, getting angry and jealous that Allyson left for
a few of Bob's personality quirks. [[spoiler:He's minutes to take a personal phone call, [[{{Hypocrite}} yet accepts a kiss from another girl while she's gone before trashing her phone when it rings again as she's confronting him]].
* GenderFlip: InUniverse. He and his girlfriend went as Bonnie and Clyde, with Allyson going as Clyde while Cameron went as Bonnie.
* HateSink: Despite [[BitchInSheepsClothing acting]] otherwise, he's quite a jerk and a terrible boyfriend who doesn't respect Allyson. [[spoiler:Contrary to slasher movie tradition, he's not seen to be
killed the same way, too.by Michael. Subverted in ''Halloween Kills'' where he gets a RasputinianDeath from Michael it was quite horrific.]] Subverted in a beginning of a deleted scene when a guilt-ridden Cameron does apologizes for trashing her phone and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: A non-fatal example as in a deleted scene, Cameron does apologizes for trashing her phone and his behavior and attempts to make up for it by either advising Allyson to put in a bag of rice to repair it or buy her a new one. Then after sassy-mouthing a couple of cops, he gets arrested. [[spoiler:Played straight in ''Kills'' upon being given a RasputinianDeath.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Michael doesn't just stab him, he impales him so badly through InTheBlood: He is much of a bully as his father Lonnie was towards Tommy back in 1978.

The subversion is that Lonnie is no longer the bully he leaves was as a child, and straight version is that Cameron sheds his body pinned own asshole nature as well.

to be a bastard boyfriend who broke Allyson's cell phone at the wall.dance, he does felt bad for his action after having a JerkassRealization and tries to apologize to her and make up for it by offering to buy her another one.

Then in ''Film/HalloweenKills'', he assists his father and Allyson in hunting down Michael, revealed to be the one who found and rescued an injured Hawkins and is shown deeply regretting what he did earlier.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: He takes his bullying tendencies after his father Lonnie. A double reversion in the sequel, with father and son [[TookALevelInKindness being considerably nicer]] than they were in their previous film appearance.
* LowerClassLout: He and his family led by his father Lonnie gained notoriety in Haddonfield due to being this because of their bad manners and run-ins with the law.
* ManipulativeBastard: He pretends to be likable to get the approval of Allyson and her parents, then he shows his true colors at the school dance. Subverted in a deleted scene when it shows he does actually care for Allyson when she attempts to apologize to her for his bad behavior. The sequel canonizes the subversion where Cameron's first scene is him calling Oscar because he wants to try and mend things with Allyson.
* TheMillstone: His trashing of Allyson's phone while Laurie tried to warn her is what puts her in danger later in the movie.
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:After an extended, torturous beating, Michael finally ends Cameron's suffering by breaking his neck, twisting it a full 180 degrees around.

Then he apologizes when his girlfriend reminds him that he just said that to their friend, whose grandmother was one of the few survivors of Michael's rampage.

''Film/HalloweenEnds''

A survivor young man accused of the first killing spree in 1978, alongside his baby-sitter Laurie Strode and his friend Lindsey Wallace.the boy he was babysitting prior to the main events of ''Halloween Ends''. Later takes on the role of the main antagonist, becoming a copycat killer with Michael's approval.



* AccidentalChildKillerBackstory: Angry over being locked in a room, and unaware Jeremy is standing behind the door, Corey kicks in the door and unintentionally sends the boy plummeting to his death.
* AlasPoorVillain: Despite everything Corey did, after he's dead, Laurie continues to feel some sympathy for him, seeing Corey as a victim of the town's harassment and Michael's evil influence.
* AmbiguousSituation: Was his StartOfDarkness prompted by years of abuse, or by something else, like a supernatural encounter with Michael Myers. Jeremy's father more or less posits this to Laurie.
* BastardUnderstudy: After helping Michael kill Doug, Corey becomes his protégé and follows in his footsteps. After embarking on double kill together, Corey decides he doesn't need Michael anymore and steals his mask to "succeed" him as the Shape. Michael [[NeckSnap doesn't appreciate this]], [[PayEvilUntoEvil to say the least]].
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Being mistreated as a pariah caused him to go off the deep end.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Most of the time in public, Corey hardly speaks. Once he goes down his villainous path, he becomes a straightforward example of this as he silently preys on his victims like Michael before him.
* BigBad: Once he starts going off the deep end, Corey effectively becomes the main villain of ''Ends'', with Michael being more of a corruptive influence than an active threat until the very end.
* BigBadSlippage: His character arc chronicles his transformation from a nerdy teenager, to bullied pariah, to Michael Myers copycat.
* BigBadWannabe: Although he successfully usurps the BigBad title from Michael and is plenty dangerous toward the average Haddonfield citizen, Corey is easily dispatched by Laurie the moment he tries gunning for her, and later finished off by Michael in time for the film's ''real'' climax.
* BoringButPractical: Lacking Michael's inhuman abilities, his first murder is very much this, ambushing and suffocating Allyson's asshole boss with a plastic bag while repeatedly stabbing him. It's only after he steals Michael's mask that he starts to take on some of the Shape's brutality.
* BullyingADragon:
** While Michael may have been [[DentedIron diminished]] by age and injury, Corey beating him up, [[BerserkButton stealing his mask]], and smugly calling him "just a man" was a ''phenomenally'' short-sighted thing to do, especially as Corey had already seen firsthand what Michael is capable of.
** Corey is well aware that Laurie has ''twice'' survived and even outfought Michael while the Shape was at his strongest; going after her, no matter how good he thought his chances were, proved to be exactly as bad of an idea as it sounds.
* BungledSuicide: Corey's attempt at a SpitefulSuicide fails to end his life as quickly as he thought it would; he ends up lingering, slowly and painfully bleeding out, long enough for Michael to catch up to him and [[NeckSnap finish the job]].
* ButtMonkey: For his role in Jeremy's death, Corey is a pariah in the town and either shunned or outright mocked by most.
* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from a remorseful accidental murder just trying to work a regular job to a willful killer that takes revenge on his tormentors over the course of the film.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Michael from the last two films. During those movies, Michael was getting old, which resulted in him copping a lot more injuries and sometimes opting for a CombatPragmatist route. Corey, on the other hand, is in his twenties and is way more able-bodied, and experienced with engineering equipment which comes in handy during the massacre at the junk yard. He also only targets people who he feels wronged him personally, though he will kill others who are in his way. Contrast with Michael, who kills randomly for no apparent reason. Corey also lacks Michael's borderline superhuman abilities; as soon as he's up against someone he can't sneak attack, he goes down in no time.
* CopKiller: He aids Michael in murdering officer Doug Mulaney.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: With Michael absent, the people of Haddonfield needed a new "boogeyman" at whom to direct their anger. When Corey accidentally killed Jeremy, they got one, turning the young man into a hated pariah who endured endless abuse. While it hardly excuses his actions, it's unsurprising that Corey finally does snap and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil become the monster everyone accuses him of being]].
* CurbStompBattle: His attempt to kill Laurie fails before Corey can so much as lay a finger on her; Laurie fakes him out with an apparent suicide and shoots Corey twice in the chest, critically wounding him. The only damage he actually manages to do is temporarily ruining Laurie and Allyson's relationship, and that doesn't last long.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: After fatally wounding himself, when Michael goes to pick the knife up to go after Laurie, Corey grabs his hand to try and stop him, likely [[DyingAsYourself breaking free of the evil inside him at the last moment]].
* DefiantToTheEnd: Despite laying bleeding and virtually helpless, Corey tries with all his remaining strength to stop Michael from taking the knife he used to stab himself just before the latter snaps his neck.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Leaving Michael alive after stealing his mask was ''dramatically'' short-sighted; sure enough, Michael tracks Corey down within a few hours and takes back what's his, finishing a wounded Corey off for good measure.
** Trying to kill Laurie, despite her reputation as a CrazySurvivalist and survivor of Michael in his prime; Corey severely underestimates her and is quickly shot for his trouble.
** Corey's attempt to frame Laurie for murdering him fails because he left Willy the Kid's radio tower in flames, cluing Allyson in to the fact that Corey was no innocent victim.
* DisappearedDad: Corey's father is never mentioned in the film.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He spends much of the runtime committing the murders instead of Michael and the film appeared to be setting him up as his successor, but he's killed the moment he tries his luck with Laurie, and Michael returns as the FinalBoss.
* DisproportionateRetribution: While the majority of Corey's victims were [[AssholeVictim less than admirable people]] who wronged either he or Allyson in some way, none of their transgressions warranted violent murder. This is particularly egregious when it comes to Terry (who Corey burned alive with a blowtorch; although the worst of the bullies, nothing that Terry did to Corey was nearly so brutal), Margo (whose skull Corey stomped despite her not taking part in the bullying), Willy the Kid (whose insults earned him a lethal beating and TongueTrauma), and Laurie (who he tried to murder for rightfully telling him to stay away from Allyson).
* DrivenToSuicide: After Laurie shoots him, he realizes his plan is hopeless, and he stabs himself in the neck. He doesn't die immediately, though, and is finished off by an angry Michael.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Zig-zagged. He gets along with his uncle but despises his mother enough to kill her.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Corey is first seen going to Jeremy's house and meeting the latter and his parents, speaking with them about his intention to show Corey a good time and his longterm school goals. This cements Corey as a normal teenager who just wants to competently do his job, and makes the events of the night all the more tragic.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted:
** Corey becomes very attached to Allyson, and he never targets her after becoming a killer, but his actions where she's concerned are violent and murderous; he leads a romantic rival to Michael to be killed, and murders her boss for a slight towards Allyson (he promoted another nurse, whom he was sleeping with, over her). In the end, however, his affection for her is portrayed as more of an obsession and desire to possess her; he sabotages her only other positive relationship, and when trying to kill Laurie doesn't work, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him, happy to die rather than allow Allyson to have a positive relationship with someone other than him.
** Corey's mother is extremely possessive of her adult son, as well as emotionally and at one point, physically abusive. During his murder spree, Corey lumps her in with everyone else who's wronged him and murders her.
** Corey's uncle Ronald is one of the very few people in Haddonfield who treats him well, giving him a job and an old motorcycle, as well as sincerely hoping the embattled young man finds love. Corey doesn't kill Ronald himself, but he shows no emotion when Ronald is caught in the crossfire of Corey's rampage and dies accidentally taking a bullet for Corey (and given that Ronald had seen Corey with Michael's mask, it's doubtful that Corey would have let him live anyway).
* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
** In a conversation with Laurie, Corey assumes that she experienced something like he did when she looked into Michael's eyes, telling her that she should [[EvilFeelsGood give in to that feeling]]; unlike Corey, Laurie has never shown any sign that she enjoys violence or feels any need to take her own suffering out on others (Michael, the cause of said suffering, being the sole exception).
** Corey assumed that Allyson would completely believe that Laurie murdered him in cold blood, hence his ThanatosGambit; while, in the heat of the moment, Allyson did initially buy into it, all it took was a single clue to Corey's true nature for Allyson to realize the truth, showing that she wasn't quite as gullible as Corey believed.
* EvilCounterpart: Corey is one to Karen since Karen is Laurie's protégé while Corey becomes Michael's successor. Corey and Karen also die in a similar fashion to the other's predecessor: Michael kills Karen after Karen believes Michael is dead while Laurie mortally wounds Corey after Corey presumes that she committed suicide.
* EvilFeelsGood: Before embracing evil, Corey was neurotic, jumpy, and [[HatedByAll understandably]] miserable. Once he's jumped headlong into sociopathy, however, he's much more confident and content, clearly enjoying his newfound murderous attitude.
* EvilIsPetty:
** The first death that Corey ''deliberately'' causes is that of Doug, a former flame of Allyson's with whom Corey had an argument. While it's implied that Doug followed Corey to physically assault him, Corey gleefully leads the man to be murdered by Michael just to learn how to commit murder for himself.
** Corey doesn't just attack Michael and steal his mask prior to the third act, but he takes a moment to mock the Shape as well, deeming him "just a man".
** During his attack on the teen bullies, Corey takes a moment to remove Michael's mask so that they can see that it's him attacking them, not Michael. As he intends to kill them all regardless, it's implied that the only reason he bothered was for the sake of his own ego.
** His attack on Willy the Kid was provoked by the shock jock insulting Corey, a particularly petty motive compared to his killing of the teen bullies (one of whom threw him off an overpass) and his mother (who abused him). He also goes the extra mile of setting fire to Willy's radio station after murdering him.
** After savagely beating Willy the Kid, Corey takes a moment to cut off the shock jock's tongue with a pair of scissors before leaving him for dead.
** After being defeated by Laurie, Corey stages a SpitefulSuicide to spoil any chance she has of reconciling with Allyson.
* {{Expy}}:
** He's one to the original concept of [[Characters/HalloweenJamieLloyd Jamie Lloyd]], who was meant to go down the same murderous path as her uncle before the sequel kiboshed the idea.
** He's also one of [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning Roy Burns]], being a copycat killer who takes on the likeness of an infamous mass murderer to commit his own revenge-driven killing spree.
* FatalFlaw: His temper. Corey's unintentional killing of Jeremy was caused by him beating down the door in the house in a fit of rage (unawake that Jeremy was right by it), his breaking of his glass milk is trigged by him being insulted and thereby getting angry enough to snap it, and his killings (which are all directed at people he feels slighted by) are extensions of him expressing his anger.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Seems to have this dynamic with Frank Hawkins, who despite having met Corey and viewing him as a good kid, never interacts with him throughout the film.
* {{Foil}}: To Michael himself; Michael's defining moment was deliberately murdering his sister while he was a child, whereas Corey's is accidentally murdering a child as a young adult. While they both became killers (with Corey even wearing Michael's mask), Michael was a spree killer who attacked at random, while Corey targets those who he feels wronged him. Michael is void of human attachments, while Corey becomes attached (albeit in a far from healthy way) to Allyson. Michael is an old man who, despite his [[DentedIron weakened state]], is still deadly, while Corey is a young man who relies on sneak attacks. In their confrontations with Laurie, Corey is quickly defeated without touching Laurie, whereas Michael, despite losing and dying himself, puts up a solid fight.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Much like Michael himself in his younger days, Corey is a good-looking, clean-cut young man whose looks attract him some positive female attention despite his bad reputation. Beneath that handsome exterior, however, Corey ultimately proves to be a deeply troubled person who, while a victim of abuse, becomes a vicious, [[EvilIsPetty petty]], and self-centered murderer.
* FrameUp:
** {{Implied|Trope}}; before setting out on his killing spree, after which he intends to leave town along with Allyson, Corey attacks Michael, stealing his mask and dressing up in the Shape's signature attire, presumably intending for his murders to be attributed to the local boogeyman.
** After Laurie gets the better of him and Allyson is nearly at her door, Corey, in an attempt to spite Laurie for telling him to stay away from Allyson, stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him with the intent of ruining her and Allyson's relationship once and for all.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Goes from a dorky, shy man to the protégé and copycat killer of Michael Myers.
* GenerationXerox: A rare mentor as opposed to parental variant; he bears a striking resemblance to Michael when he was young.
* HatedByAll: After Jeremy's death, Corey is a pariah; only his uncle, Lindsey, Allyson, and Laurie are willing to give him a chance.
* HatedHometown: After the populace turns on him, Corey grows to deeply resent and despise Haddonfield, hoping to leave it behind even before his run-in with Michael. By the third act of ''Halloween Ends'', he's taken this to an extreme, murdering the people who have given him the most grief and acting on Allyson's metaphorical desire to burn the place down by literally setting fire to Willy the Kid's radio station, all with the intention of skipping town for good once he'd finished his killing spree.
* TheHeavy: Since Michael's age and injuries have left him heavily debilitated, Corey picks up the slack in moving the plot with his villainous arc before making a grab for the BigBad role in the last third of the film.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: At the beginning of the film, Corey is a well-meaning, misunderstood young man who unintentionally caused the death of the child he was babysitting and generally keeps to himself when he isn't going to work.
* IfICantHaveYou: Develops this attitude toward Allyson, though he doesn't say it to her directly, but to Laurie. In a variation on the trope, he never tries to kill Allyson. Rather, his intention is that if she doesn't have a relationship with him, he won't let her have a relationship with ''anyone'', doing his best to destroy her relationship with Laurie once he's been bested and set to be exposed as a murderer.
* ImplacableMan: Though nowhere near as strong as Michael, he's still this. Even before his killing spree, during a date with Allyson, he falls off a building and sits up, eeriely like Michael does. When Laurie shoots him twice in the chest, he sits up again. When he tries to kill himself by stabbing himself in the throat, he ''still'' doesn't die and tries to grab Michael to stop him before Michael breaks his neck.
* ItGetsEasier: The first time Corey killed someone, it was an accident and he was shocked and traumatized. The second time, he was acting in self-defense and was shocked enough to throw away the weapon. The third time, he deliberately lures someone to Michael, fully intending for them to die, so that he can learn how to murder for himself; every other death Corey causes is 100% deliberate and done without hesitation, mercy, or remorse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Once Corey has [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped headlong into darkness]], he stops caring about anyone or anything except himself and the wrongs he feels were committed against him, brutally murdering people for such minor offences as insulting him and stabbing himself in the throat when he realizes that he can't have Allyson to spite Laurie and completely ruin her and Allyson's relationship.
* JackTheRipoff: Becomes "The Shape II" and commits most of the kills for ''Ends''.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He isn't wrong when he points out that Laurie is the one who introduced him to Allyson and thereby served as the catalyst for them starting a relationship after Laurie tries to warn him to stay away from her granddaughter.
* KickTheDog:
** While the teens who tormented him arguably [[AssholeVictim brought their fates on themselves]], Corey also murders Margo, who argued for leaving him alone and apologized for her friends' actions.
** Before killing Willy the Kid, Corey murders his receptionist, who is innocent.
** Beaten by Laurie, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame her for murdering him so as to ruin Laurie and Allyson's relationship.
* LikeParentLikeChild: Corey's mother is overly attached to him and hates the idea of him growing close to someone else; Corey himself proves to be no different where Allyson is concerned, telling that Laurie that if ''he'' can't have her, ''no one'' will, which he tries to see through by sabotaging Allyson and Laurie's relationship.
* MadeOfIron: Though nowhere near as sturdy as Michael, Corey withstands falls, gun shots, a cut to his hand, and other injuries as the film progresses.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: In his murder of Dr. Mathis, Corey wears a scarecrow mask that Allyson gave him, and during his rampage later in the film, he steals and wears Michael's own mask.
* ManipulativeBastard: Post-StartOfDarkness, Corey does his best to isolate Allyson from Laurie, even telling her that Laurie threatened his life, in order to have Allyson all to himself. After Laurie defeats his attempt to murder her, Corey even stabs himself in the throat to make it look like Laurie murdered him, intending to exploit the fears he planted in Allyson's mind to permanently ruin her and Laurie's relationship.
* {{Matricide}}: Before leaving to attack Laurie, Corey murders his own emotionally abusive mother.
* MeaningfulAppearance: When first introduced and before his initial encounter with Michael, Corey wears glasses. Once they're broken and he returns from looking into Michael's eyes, he no longer wears them or tries to get another pair, signifying a change that alludes to the impact of the encounter.
* MeaningfulName:
** His surname is a reference to Arnie Cunningham from John Carpenter's ''Literature/{{Christine}}'', who gets obsessed with and corrupted by a malevolent supernatural force. Corey ends up going down a similar road.
** Like the series' original boogeyman, Michael Myers, Corey Cunningham has an AlliterativeName.
* MisplacedRetribution: His killing of Susan, Willy the Kid's receptionist who he encounters before going after the latter, can come off as this considering most of his other victims were people that directly mocked or harmed him in the past and he had no prior transgressions with her.
* MistakenForPedophile: Terry accuses Corey of being a pedophile while taunting him, though whether he actually believes that or is just trying to wind him up is unclear.
* MoralMyopia: Corey is angry and later tries to kill Laurie for telling him to stay away from Allyson, despite the fact that Corey has either deliberately committed or been an accessory to three murders by that point.
* NearVillainVictory: Before being defeated by Laurie, Corey had successfully killed every single person that he had targeted, tricked Allyson into thinking he was a good person, and succeeded Michael as Haddonfield's new killer.
* NeckSnap: Despite his attempt at a SpitefulSuicide, Corey lingers long enough for Michael to come along and repay Corey for beating him and stealing his mask.
* NeverMyFault: After being confronted by Jeremy's mother at a party Allyson invited him to, Corey angrily blames Allyson for "making" him go, despite the fact that he's the one who decided to accept the invitation.
* NiceGuy: In the beginning, he seemed like a decent guy before he started killing people.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Corey makes a genuine attempt to appeal to Jeremy while babysitting him, and his concern for the boy leads him into the prank that unintentionally causes Jeremy's death.
* NotQuiteDead: After stabbing himself in the throat, Corey appears dead, but when Michael arrives to reclaim his mask, Corey proves to be hanging on by a thread, albeit a thread that Michael [[NeckSnap swiftly cuts]].
* OfficialCouple: With Allyson after he confesses to his first (purposeful) murder.
* OhCrap: The already immobile and dying Corey gets one last moment of shock and fear when Michael finds him and retrieves the mask that Corey stole.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Though Jeremy's death was ultimately an accident, the people of Haddonfield have long-since decided his guilt and relentlessly bully and abuse him for it, even three years later. Unsurprisingly, Corey ends up snapping under the pressure and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil really does become the murderer the town treated him as]].
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Corey would have been a formidable slasher villain in almost any other movie, but he made the fatal mistake of going after Laurie Strode, who put Michael Myers through his paces even at his prime.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: The biggest difference between him and Michael is that while the latter kills indiscriminately, virtually every victim (or attempted victim) of Corey is someone who he feels has either mistreated or wronged him or Allyson. He targets the school band bullies after multiple instances of harassment from them, his mother after she tries controlling him and assaults him, Willy the Kid and by extension his assistant after Willy mocks and threatens him, and Laurie after she tells him to end his relationship with Allyson.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: His arc is him GainingTheWillToKill and becoming a murderer in the same vein as Michael.
* PsychoticSmirk: As a sign of Corey [[ThenLetMeBeEvil fully embracing his dark side]], he smiles creepily at Doug while leading him to his death at Michael's hands, gives a similar smile to Michael himself after watching him kill Nurse Deb, and taunts Terry with one more smile before murdering both him and Margo.
* ReformedButRejected: Whatever anger that Corey has that can sometimes cause him to act out physically never manifests itself in the years after Jeremy's death yet the town continues to treat him poorly.
* RevengeIsSweet: He smiles right before double-teaming Doug with Michael. Realizing that Allyson is pulling up in the driveway, he smiles at Laurie before stabbing himself to trick his girlfriend into thinking her grandmother murdered him.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After donning the Shape's mask, Corey goes after people he feels personally wronged by, murdering the teens who harassed him, the shock jock who insulted him, his abusive mother, and tries to finish with Laurie, whom he sees as an obstacle to his relationship with Allyson.
* TheScapegoat: Although Jeremy's death was caused by the boy being by the locked door that Corey kicked hard, had Jeremy would not have died had he not trapped Corey in the room with his prank, but because Jeremy's parents heard Corey's threats before the death, he's blamed for the death. Jeremy's father, long after the event, theorizes that people holding Corey responsible for Jeremy's death was less because of the act itself, and more because, in the absence of Michael, the town wanted ''someone'' to direct anger at for the collective trauma they experienced because of the Shape.
* SelfDisposingVillain: Corey goes after the one heroic person who can stop him and although she doesn't kill him, his injuries and subsequent attempt to take his own life renders him weaker when trying to stop Michael.
* SlasherSmile: While he previously restricted himself to {{Psychotic Smirk}}s, just before he stabs himself in the throat, Corey flashes a blood-stained grin at Laurie, [[SmugSnake assuming that his final effort will succeed]].
* SmugSnake: After JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, Corey is brimming with newfound confidence, and by the end of the film, arrogantly assumes that he can get the better of both Michael and Laurie, even leaving the former alive after stealing his mask, [[BullyingADragon smugly rubbing in to Michael that he's "just a man"]]. Needless to say, both [[CurbStompBattle Laurie]] and [[NeckSnap Michael]] prove him wrong in short order. Even his final ThanatosGambit, framing Laurie for murdering him, is done with a confident SlasherSmile as he assumes that Allyson would have no trouble believing it. It did work for a short time, but it only took a single sign of Corey's prior rampage for Allyson to realize the truth, quickly turning Corey's last act of villainy into a total failure. Corey may have thought of himself as an equal to Michael, but the movie ultimately shows him to be a petty, short-sighted, and nowhere near as smart or capable as he assumed himself to be.
* TheSociopath: Whether this was always the case is ambiguous, but by the time he lures Doug to Michael, Corey has become a vicious, spiteful murderer who reacts violently to slights ranging from physical assault to simple insults, murdering people in savagely brutal ways and wanting to be Allyson's only positive relationship.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: He's on the receiving end of this when Allyson admits she was wrong about him to Laurie.
* SpitefulSuicide: When he hears Allyson's car pull up after being defeated by Laurie, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him, preferring to leave Allyson all alone in the world rather than not have her himself. The attempt turns out to be a complete failure; not only does Allyson quickly learn the truth, but Corey himself lingers long enough for Michael to [[NeckSnap finish him off]].
* SuicideAttack: Stabs himself in the neck in an attempt to convince Allyson that Laurie killed him. [[NotQuiteDead He turns out to still be alive]].
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After committing the accidental murder of the boy he was babysitting, Corey tries to move on with his life despite the guilt and trauma of the incident. Unfortunately, nobody in Haddonfield believes it was an accident and torments him over it, especially Terry and his gang. After said gang attacks him and throw him off a bridge, he slowly begins to snap, deciding to become the monster everyone treated him as.
* TragicVillain: Corey was a nice, well-meaning young man with a temper who, upon accidentally killing the child he was babysitting the first Halloween after Michael's second killing spree, became the town pariah and put up with their poor treatment of him for years until snapping.
* TranquilFury: His reaction to the marching band members insulting him is to stand and show disdain through his facial expression with the situation only escalating because the angered Corey broke his glass milk and its contents spilled on Terry. He adopts a similar reaction to Jeremy's mother confronting him while he's out with Allyson and his plan to kill Laurie failing.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Believing Laurie to just be Allyson's grandmother who is past her prime and can be just as easily killed as the rest of his victims comes back to bite him.
* UndignifiedDeath: After stabbing himself in the throat in an ultimately futile attempt at a ThanatosGambit, Corey lingers long enough to be finished off by Michael with a simple NeckSnap while helpless to defend himself.
* UngratefulBastard:
** Laurie was one of the few who gave him a chance after the town turned on him, introduced him to Allyson, and was generally accepting of him until correctly noticing that he was changing into a more dangerous person. Regardless of her past willingness to treat him well, he doesn't take the news of her wanting him to stay away from Allyson well and even wants her dead for this.
** Despite Margo protesting the bullying the rest of her high school band gave Corey, the latter has no problem killing her.
* VillainProtagonist: Corey is, for all intents and purposes, the true protagonist of ''Ends'', as he receives more screentime and focus than either Laurie or Michael, and the story is explored through his eyes.
* WalkingSpoiler: Trying to talk about his character without adding that he's the main antagonist of ''Ends'' is damn near impossible.
* WouldHurtAChild: Unintentionally. A kid he was babysitting, Jeremy, locked him in a room and taunted him from behind the door, situated on a high floor. When Corey kicks the door open, it sends Jeremy falling back behind the banister and plummeting to his death. He feels [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone appropriately guilty and traumatized]] about it.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He wrestles with Michael for the latter's mask and after a prolonged struggle, successfully takes it from him.
* {{Yandere}}: One of the main factors that drives Corey to kill. His plan is to leave Haddonfield with Allyson, but not before stealing Michael's mask and going on a killing spree against everyone who wronged him, and attempting to kill Laurie, all while framing Michael for the murders.

!!!'''Played By:''' Rohan Campbell
[=Michael McDonald and Scott MacArthur=]
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/HalloweenEnds''

''Film/HalloweenKills''

A young man accused of killing gay couple that currently resides the boy he was babysitting prior to the main events of ''Halloween Ends''. Later takes on the role of the main antagonist, becoming a copycat killer with Michael's approval. Myers family house.



* AccidentalChildKillerBackstory: Angry over being locked in a room, and unaware Jeremy is standing behind the door, Corey kicks in the door and unintentionally sends the boy plummeting to his death.
* AlasPoorVillain: Despite everything Corey did, after he's dead, Laurie continues to feel some sympathy for him, seeing Corey as a victim of the town's harassment and Michael's evil influence.
* AmbiguousSituation: Was his StartOfDarkness prompted by years of abuse, or by something else, like a supernatural encounter with Michael Myers. Jeremy's father more or less posits this to Laurie.
* BastardUnderstudy: After helping Michael kill Doug, Corey becomes his protégé and follows in his footsteps. After embarking on double kill together, Corey decides he doesn't need Michael anymore and steals his mask to "succeed" him as the Shape. Michael [[NeckSnap doesn't appreciate this]], [[PayEvilUntoEvil to say the least]].
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Being mistreated as a pariah caused him to go off the deep end.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Most of the time in public, Corey hardly speaks. Once he goes down his villainous path, he becomes a straightforward example of this as he silently preys on his victims like Michael before him.
* BigBad: Once he starts going off the deep end, Corey effectively becomes the main villain of ''Ends'', with Michael being more of a corruptive influence than an active threat until the very end.
* BigBadSlippage: His character arc chronicles his transformation from a nerdy teenager, to bullied pariah, to Michael Myers copycat.
* BigBadWannabe: Although he successfully usurps the BigBad title from Michael and is plenty dangerous toward the average Haddonfield citizen, Corey is easily dispatched by Laurie the moment he tries gunning for her, and later finished off by Michael in time for the film's ''real'' climax.
* BoringButPractical: Lacking Michael's inhuman abilities, his first murder is very much this, ambushing and suffocating Allyson's asshole boss with a plastic bag while repeatedly stabbing him. It's only after he steals Michael's mask that he starts to take on some of the Shape's brutality.
* BullyingADragon:
** While Michael may have been [[DentedIron diminished]] by age and injury, Corey beating him up, [[BerserkButton stealing his mask]], and smugly calling him "just a man" was a ''phenomenally'' short-sighted thing to do, especially as Corey had already seen firsthand what Michael is capable of.
** Corey is well aware that Laurie has ''twice'' survived and even outfought Michael while the Shape was at his strongest; going after her, no matter how good he thought his chances were, proved to be exactly as bad of an idea as it sounds.
* BungledSuicide: Corey's attempt at a SpitefulSuicide fails to end his life as quickly as he thought it would; he ends up lingering, slowly and painfully bleeding out, long enough for Michael to catch up to him and [[NeckSnap finish the job]].
* ButtMonkey: For his role in Jeremy's death, Corey is a pariah in the town and either shunned or outright mocked by most.
* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from a remorseful accidental murder just trying to work a regular job to a willful killer that takes revenge on his tormentors over the course of the film.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Michael from the last two films. During those movies, Michael was getting old, which resulted in him copping a lot more injuries and sometimes opting for a CombatPragmatist route. Corey, on the other hand, is in his twenties and is way more able-bodied, and experienced with engineering equipment which comes in handy during the massacre at the junk yard. He also only targets people who he feels wronged him personally, though he will kill others who are in his way. Contrast with Michael, who kills randomly for no apparent reason. Corey also lacks Michael's borderline superhuman abilities; as soon as he's up against someone he can't sneak attack, he goes down in no time.
* CopKiller: He aids Michael in murdering officer Doug Mulaney.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: With Michael absent, the people of Haddonfield needed a new "boogeyman" at whom to direct their anger. When Corey accidentally killed Jeremy, they got one, turning the young man into a hated pariah who endured endless abuse. While it hardly excuses his actions, it's unsurprising that Corey finally does snap and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil become the monster everyone accuses him of being]].
* CurbStompBattle: His attempt to kill Laurie fails before Corey can so much as lay a finger on her; Laurie fakes him out with an apparent suicide and shoots Corey twice in the chest, critically wounding him. The only damage he actually manages to do is temporarily ruining Laurie and Allyson's relationship, and that doesn't last long.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: After fatally wounding himself, when Michael goes to pick the knife up to go after Laurie, Corey grabs his hand to try and stop him, likely [[DyingAsYourself breaking free of the evil inside him at the last moment]].
* DefiantToTheEnd: Despite laying bleeding and virtually helpless, Corey tries with all his remaining strength to stop Michael from taking the knife he used to stab himself just before the latter snaps his neck.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Leaving Michael alive after stealing his mask was ''dramatically'' short-sighted; sure enough, Michael tracks Corey down within a few hours and takes back what's his, finishing a wounded Corey off for good measure.
** Trying to kill Laurie, despite her reputation as a CrazySurvivalist and survivor of Michael in his prime; Corey severely underestimates her and is quickly shot for his trouble.
** Corey's attempt to frame Laurie for murdering him fails because he left Willy the Kid's radio tower in flames, cluing Allyson in to the fact that Corey was no innocent victim.
* DisappearedDad: Corey's father is never mentioned in the film.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He spends much of the runtime committing the murders instead of Michael and the film appeared to be setting him up as his successor, but he's killed the moment he tries his luck with Laurie, and Michael returns as the FinalBoss.
* DisproportionateRetribution: While the majority of Corey's victims were [[AssholeVictim less than admirable people]] who wronged either he or Allyson in some way, none of their transgressions warranted violent murder. This is particularly egregious when it comes to Terry (who Corey burned alive with a blowtorch; although the worst of the bullies, nothing that Terry did to Corey was nearly so brutal), Margo (whose skull Corey stomped despite her not taking part in the bullying), Willy the Kid (whose insults earned him a lethal beating and TongueTrauma), and Laurie (who he tried to murder for rightfully telling him to stay away from Allyson).
* DrivenToSuicide: After Laurie shoots him, he realizes his plan is hopeless, and he stabs himself in the neck. He doesn't die immediately, though, and is finished off by an angry Michael.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Zig-zagged. He gets along with his uncle but despises his mother enough to kill her.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Corey is first seen going to Jeremy's house and meeting the latter and his parents, speaking with them about his intention to show Corey a good time and his longterm school goals. This cements Corey as a normal teenager who just wants to competently do his job, and makes the events of the night all the more tragic.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted:
** Corey becomes very attached to Allyson, and he never targets her after becoming a killer, but his actions where she's concerned are violent and murderous; he leads a romantic rival to Michael to be killed, and murders her boss for a slight towards Allyson (he promoted another nurse, whom he was sleeping with, over her). In the end, however, his affection for her is portrayed as more of an obsession and desire to possess her; he sabotages her only other positive relationship, and when trying to kill Laurie doesn't work, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him, happy to die rather than allow Allyson to have a positive relationship with someone other than him.
** Corey's mother is extremely possessive of her adult son, as well as emotionally and at one point, physically abusive. During his murder spree, Corey lumps her in with everyone else who's wronged him and murders her.
** Corey's uncle Ronald is one of the very few people in Haddonfield who treats him well, giving him a job and an old motorcycle, as well as sincerely hoping the embattled young man finds love. Corey doesn't kill Ronald himself, but he shows no emotion when Ronald is caught in the crossfire of Corey's rampage and dies accidentally taking a bullet for Corey (and given that Ronald had seen Corey with Michael's mask, it's doubtful that Corey would have let him live anyway).
* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
** In a conversation with Laurie, Corey assumes that she experienced something like he did when she looked into Michael's eyes, telling her that she should [[EvilFeelsGood give in to that feeling]]; unlike Corey, Laurie has never shown any sign that she enjoys violence or feels any need to take her own suffering out on others (Michael, the cause of said suffering, being the sole exception).
** Corey assumed that Allyson would completely believe that Laurie murdered him in cold blood, hence his ThanatosGambit; while, in the heat of the moment, Allyson did initially buy into it, all it took was a single clue to Corey's true nature for Allyson to realize the truth, showing that she wasn't quite as gullible as Corey believed.
* EvilCounterpart: Corey is one to Karen since Karen is Laurie's protégé while Corey becomes Michael's successor. Corey and Karen also die in a similar fashion to the other's predecessor: Michael kills Karen after Karen believes Michael is dead while Laurie mortally wounds Corey after Corey presumes that she committed suicide.
* EvilFeelsGood: Before embracing evil, Corey was neurotic, jumpy, and [[HatedByAll understandably]] miserable. Once he's jumped headlong into sociopathy, however, he's much more confident and content, clearly enjoying his newfound murderous attitude.
* EvilIsPetty:
** The first death that Corey ''deliberately'' causes is that of Doug, a former flame of Allyson's with whom Corey had an argument. While it's implied that Doug followed Corey to physically assault him, Corey gleefully leads the man to be murdered by Michael just to learn how to commit murder for himself.
** Corey doesn't just attack Michael and steal his mask prior to the third act, but he takes a moment to mock the Shape as well, deeming him "just a man".
** During his attack on the teen bullies, Corey takes a moment to remove Michael's mask so that they can see that it's him attacking them, not Michael. As he intends to kill them all regardless, it's implied that the only reason he bothered was for the sake of his own ego.
** His attack on Willy the Kid was provoked by the shock jock insulting Corey, a particularly petty motive compared to his killing of the teen bullies (one of whom threw him off an overpass) and his mother (who abused him). He also goes the extra mile of setting fire to Willy's radio station after murdering him.
** After savagely beating Willy the Kid, Corey takes a moment to cut off the shock jock's tongue with a pair of scissors before leaving him for dead.
** After being defeated by Laurie, Corey stages a SpitefulSuicide to spoil any chance she has of reconciling with Allyson.
* {{Expy}}:
** He's one to the original concept of [[Characters/HalloweenJamieLloyd Jamie Lloyd]], who was meant to go down the same murderous path as her uncle before the sequel kiboshed the idea.
** He's also one of [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning Roy Burns]], being a copycat killer who takes on the likeness of an infamous mass murderer to commit his own revenge-driven killing spree.
* FatalFlaw: His temper. Corey's unintentional killing of Jeremy was caused by him beating down the door in the house in a fit of rage (unawake that Jeremy was right by it), his breaking of his glass milk is trigged by him being insulted and thereby getting angry enough to snap it, and his killings (which are all directed at people he feels slighted by) are extensions of him expressing his anger.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Seems to have this dynamic with Frank Hawkins, who despite having met Corey and viewing him as a good kid, never interacts with him throughout the film.
* {{Foil}}: To Michael himself; Michael's defining moment was deliberately murdering his sister while he was a child, whereas Corey's is accidentally murdering a child as a young adult. While they both became killers (with Corey even wearing Michael's mask), Michael was a spree killer who attacked at random, while Corey targets those who he feels wronged him. Michael is void of human attachments, while Corey becomes attached (albeit in a far from healthy way) to Allyson. Michael is an old man who, despite his [[DentedIron weakened state]], is still deadly, while Corey is a young man who relies on sneak attacks. In their confrontations with Laurie, Corey is quickly defeated without touching Laurie, whereas Michael, despite losing and dying himself, puts up a solid fight.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Much like Michael himself in his younger days, Corey is a good-looking, clean-cut young man whose looks attract him some positive female attention despite his bad reputation. Beneath that handsome exterior, however, Corey ultimately proves to be a deeply troubled person who, while a victim of abuse, becomes a vicious, [[EvilIsPetty petty]], and self-centered murderer.
* FrameUp:
** {{Implied|Trope}}; before setting out on his killing spree, after which he intends to leave town along with Allyson, Corey attacks Michael, stealing his mask and dressing up in the Shape's signature attire, presumably intending for his murders to be attributed to the local boogeyman.
** After Laurie gets the better of him and Allyson is nearly at her door, Corey, in an attempt to spite Laurie for telling him to stay away from Allyson, stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him with the intent of ruining her and Allyson's relationship once and for all.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Goes from a dorky, shy man to the protégé and copycat killer of Michael Myers.
* GenerationXerox: A rare mentor as opposed to parental variant; he bears a striking resemblance to Michael when he was young.
* HatedByAll: After Jeremy's death, Corey is a pariah; only his uncle, Lindsey, Allyson, and Laurie are willing to give him a chance.
* HatedHometown: After the populace turns on him, Corey grows to deeply resent and despise Haddonfield, hoping to leave it behind even before his run-in with Michael. By the third act of ''Halloween Ends'', he's taken this to an extreme, murdering the people who have given him the most grief and acting on Allyson's metaphorical desire to burn the place down by literally setting fire to Willy the Kid's radio station, all with the intention of skipping town for good once he'd finished his killing spree.
* TheHeavy: Since Michael's age and injuries have left him heavily debilitated, Corey picks up the slack in moving the plot with his villainous arc before making a grab for the BigBad role in the last third of the film.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: At the beginning of the film, Corey is a well-meaning, misunderstood young man who unintentionally caused the death of the child he was babysitting and generally keeps to himself when he isn't going to work.
* IfICantHaveYou: Develops this attitude toward Allyson, though he doesn't say it to her directly, but to Laurie. In a variation on the trope, he never tries to kill Allyson. Rather, his intention is that if she doesn't have a relationship with him, he won't let her have a relationship with ''anyone'', doing his best to destroy her relationship with Laurie once he's been bested and set to be exposed as a murderer.
* ImplacableMan: Though nowhere near as strong as Michael, he's still this. Even before his killing spree, during a date with Allyson, he falls off a building and sits up, eeriely like Michael does. When Laurie shoots him twice in the chest, he sits up again. When he tries to kill himself by stabbing himself in the throat, he ''still'' doesn't die and tries to grab Michael to stop him before Michael breaks his neck.
* ItGetsEasier: The first time Corey killed someone, it was an accident and he was shocked and traumatized. The second time, he was acting in self-defense and was shocked enough to throw away the weapon. The third time, he deliberately lures someone to Michael, fully intending for them to die, so that he can learn how to murder for himself; every other death Corey causes is 100% deliberate and done without hesitation, mercy, or remorse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Once Corey has [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped headlong into darkness]], he stops caring about anyone or anything except himself and the wrongs he feels were committed against him, brutally murdering people for such minor offences as insulting him and stabbing himself in the throat when he realizes that he can't have Allyson to spite Laurie and completely ruin her and Allyson's relationship.
* JackTheRipoff: Becomes "The Shape II" and commits most of the kills for ''Ends''.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He isn't wrong when he points out that Laurie is the one who introduced him to Allyson and thereby served as the catalyst for them starting a relationship after Laurie tries to warn him to stay away from her granddaughter.
* KickTheDog:
** While the teens who tormented him arguably [[AssholeVictim brought their fates on themselves]], Corey also murders Margo, who argued for leaving him alone and apologized for her friends' actions.
** Before killing Willy the Kid, Corey murders his receptionist, who is innocent.
** Beaten by Laurie, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame her for murdering him so as to ruin Laurie and Allyson's relationship.
* LikeParentLikeChild: Corey's mother is overly attached to him and hates the idea of him growing close to someone else; Corey himself proves to be no different where Allyson is concerned, telling that Laurie that if ''he'' can't have her, ''no one'' will, which he tries to see through by sabotaging Allyson and Laurie's relationship.
* MadeOfIron: Though nowhere near as sturdy as Michael, Corey withstands falls, gun shots, a cut to his hand, and other injuries as the film progresses.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: In his murder of Dr. Mathis, Corey wears a scarecrow mask that Allyson gave him, and during his rampage later in the film, he steals and wears Michael's own mask.
* ManipulativeBastard: Post-StartOfDarkness, Corey does his best to isolate Allyson from Laurie, even telling her that Laurie threatened his life, in order to have Allyson all to himself. After Laurie defeats his attempt to murder her, Corey even stabs himself in the throat to make it look like Laurie murdered him, intending to exploit the fears he planted in Allyson's mind to permanently ruin her and Laurie's relationship.
* {{Matricide}}: Before leaving to attack Laurie, Corey murders his own emotionally abusive mother.
* MeaningfulAppearance: When first introduced and before his initial encounter with Michael, Corey wears glasses. Once they're broken and he returns from looking into Michael's eyes, he no longer wears them or tries to get another pair, signifying a change that alludes to the impact of the encounter.
* MeaningfulName:
** His surname is a reference to Arnie Cunningham from John Carpenter's ''Literature/{{Christine}}'', who gets obsessed with and corrupted by a malevolent supernatural force. Corey ends up going down a similar road.
** Like the series' original boogeyman, Michael Myers, Corey Cunningham has an AlliterativeName.
* MisplacedRetribution: His killing of Susan, Willy the Kid's receptionist who he encounters before going after the latter, can come off as this considering most of his other victims were people that directly mocked or harmed him in the past and he had no prior transgressions with her.
* MistakenForPedophile: Terry accuses Corey of being a pedophile while taunting him, though whether he actually believes that or is just trying to wind him up is unclear.
* MoralMyopia: Corey is angry and later tries to kill Laurie for telling him to stay away from Allyson, despite the fact that Corey has either deliberately committed or been an accessory to three murders by that point.
* NearVillainVictory: Before being defeated by Laurie, Corey had successfully killed every single person that he had targeted, tricked Allyson into thinking he was a good person, and succeeded Michael as Haddonfield's new killer.
* NeckSnap: Despite his attempt at a SpitefulSuicide, Corey lingers long enough for Michael to come along and repay Corey for beating him and stealing his mask.
* NeverMyFault: After being confronted by Jeremy's mother at a party Allyson invited him to, Corey angrily blames Allyson for "making" him go, despite the fact that he's the one who decided to accept the invitation.
* NiceGuy: In the beginning, he seemed like a decent guy before he started killing people.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Corey makes a genuine attempt to appeal to Jeremy while babysitting him, and his concern for the boy leads him into the prank that unintentionally causes Jeremy's death.
* NotQuiteDead: After stabbing himself in the throat, Corey appears dead, but when Michael arrives to reclaim his mask, Corey proves to be hanging on by a thread, albeit a thread that Michael [[NeckSnap swiftly cuts]].
* OfficialCouple: With Allyson after he confesses to his first (purposeful) murder.
* OhCrap: The already immobile and dying Corey gets one last moment of shock and fear when Michael finds him and retrieves the mask that Corey stole.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Though Jeremy's death was ultimately an accident, the people of Haddonfield have long-since decided his guilt and relentlessly bully and abuse him for it, even three years later. Unsurprisingly, Corey ends up snapping under the pressure and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil really does become the murderer the town treated him as]].
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Corey would have been a formidable slasher villain in almost any other movie, but he made the fatal mistake of going after Laurie Strode, who put Michael Myers through his paces even at his prime.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: The biggest difference between him and Michael is that while the latter kills indiscriminately, virtually every victim (or attempted victim) of Corey is someone who he feels has either mistreated or wronged him or Allyson. He targets the school band bullies after multiple instances of harassment from them, his mother after she tries controlling him and assaults him, Willy the Kid and by extension his assistant after Willy mocks and threatens him, and Laurie after she tells him to end his relationship with Allyson.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: His arc is him GainingTheWillToKill and becoming a murderer in the same vein as Michael.
* PsychoticSmirk: As a sign of Corey [[ThenLetMeBeEvil fully embracing his dark side]], he smiles creepily at Doug while leading him to his death at Michael's hands, gives a similar smile to Michael himself after watching him kill Nurse Deb, and taunts Terry with one more smile before murdering both him and Margo.
* ReformedButRejected: Whatever anger that Corey has that can sometimes cause him to act out physically never manifests itself in the years after Jeremy's death yet the town continues to treat him poorly.
* RevengeIsSweet: He smiles right before double-teaming Doug with Michael. Realizing that Allyson is pulling up in the driveway, he smiles at Laurie before stabbing himself to trick his girlfriend into thinking her grandmother murdered him.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After donning the Shape's mask, Corey goes after people he feels personally wronged by, murdering the teens who harassed him, the shock jock who insulted him, his abusive mother, and tries to finish with Laurie, whom he sees as an obstacle to his relationship with Allyson.
* TheScapegoat: Although Jeremy's death was caused by the boy being by the locked door that Corey kicked hard, had Jeremy would not have died had he not trapped Corey in the room with his prank, but because Jeremy's parents heard Corey's threats before the death, he's blamed for the death. Jeremy's father, long after the event, theorizes that people holding Corey responsible for Jeremy's death was less because of the act itself, and more because, in the absence of Michael, the town wanted ''someone'' to direct anger at for the collective trauma they experienced because of the Shape.
* SelfDisposingVillain: Corey goes after the one heroic person who can stop him and although she doesn't kill him, his injuries and subsequent attempt to take his own life renders him weaker when trying to stop Michael.
* SlasherSmile: While he previously restricted himself to {{Psychotic Smirk}}s, just before he stabs himself in the throat, Corey flashes a blood-stained grin at Laurie, [[SmugSnake assuming that his final effort will succeed]].
* SmugSnake: After JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, Corey is brimming with newfound confidence, and by the end of the film, arrogantly assumes that he can get the better of both Michael and Laurie, even leaving the former alive after stealing his mask, [[BullyingADragon smugly rubbing in to Michael that he's "just a man"]]. Needless to say, both [[CurbStompBattle Laurie]] and [[NeckSnap Michael]] prove him wrong in short order. Even his final ThanatosGambit, framing Laurie for murdering him, is done with a confident SlasherSmile as he assumes that Allyson would have no trouble believing it. It did work for a short time, but it only took a single sign of Corey's prior rampage for Allyson to realize the truth, quickly turning Corey's last act of villainy into a total failure. Corey may have thought of himself as an equal to Michael, but the movie ultimately shows him to be a petty, short-sighted, and nowhere near as smart or capable as he assumed himself to be.
* TheSociopath: Whether this was always the case is ambiguous, but by the time he lures Doug to Michael, Corey has become a vicious, spiteful murderer who reacts violently to slights ranging from physical assault to simple insults, murdering people in savagely brutal ways and wanting to be Allyson's only positive relationship.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: He's on the receiving end of this when Allyson admits she was wrong about him to Laurie.
* SpitefulSuicide: When he hears Allyson's car pull up after being defeated by Laurie, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him, preferring to leave Allyson all alone in the world rather than not have her himself. The attempt turns out to be a complete failure; not only does Allyson quickly learn the truth, but Corey himself lingers long enough for Michael to [[NeckSnap finish him off]].
* SuicideAttack: Stabs himself in the neck in an attempt to convince Allyson that Laurie killed him. [[NotQuiteDead He turns out to still be alive]].
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After committing the accidental murder of the boy he was babysitting, Corey tries to move on with his life despite the guilt and trauma of the incident. Unfortunately, nobody in Haddonfield believes it was an accident and torments him over it, especially Terry and his gang. After said gang attacks him and throw him off a bridge, he slowly begins to snap, deciding to become the monster everyone treated him as.
* TragicVillain: Corey was a nice, well-meaning young man with a temper who, upon accidentally killing the child he was babysitting the first Halloween after Michael's second killing spree, became the town pariah and put up with their poor treatment of him for years until snapping.
* TranquilFury: His reaction to the marching band members insulting him is to stand and show disdain through his facial expression with the situation only escalating because the angered Corey broke his glass milk and its contents spilled on Terry. He adopts a similar reaction to Jeremy's mother confronting him while he's out with Allyson and his plan to kill Laurie failing.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Believing Laurie to just be Allyson's grandmother who is past her prime and can be just as easily killed as the rest of his victims comes back to bite him.
* UndignifiedDeath: After stabbing himself in the throat in an ultimately futile attempt at a ThanatosGambit, Corey lingers long enough to be finished off by Michael with a simple NeckSnap while helpless to defend himself.
* UngratefulBastard:
** Laurie was one of the few who gave him a chance after the town turned on him, introduced him to Allyson, and was generally accepting of him until correctly noticing that he was changing into a more dangerous person. Regardless of her past willingness to treat him well, he doesn't take the news of her wanting him to stay away from Allyson well and even wants her dead for this.
** Despite Margo protesting the bullying the rest of her high school band gave Corey, the latter has no problem killing her.
* VillainProtagonist: Corey is, for all intents and purposes, the true protagonist of ''Ends'', as he receives more screentime and focus than either Laurie or Michael, and the story is explored through his eyes.
* WalkingSpoiler: Trying to talk about his character without adding that he's the main antagonist of ''Ends'' is damn near impossible.
* WouldHurtAChild: Unintentionally. A kid he was babysitting, Jeremy, locked him in a room and taunted him from behind the door, situated on a high floor. When Corey kicks the door open, it sends Jeremy falling back behind the banister and plummeting to his death. He feels [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone appropriately guilty and traumatized]] about it.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He wrestles with Michael for the latter's mask and after a prolonged struggle, successfully takes it from him.
* {{Yandere}}: One of the main factors that drives Corey to kill. His plan is to leave Haddonfield with Allyson, but not before stealing Michael's mask and going on a killing spree against everyone who wronged him, and attempting to kill Laurie, all while framing Michael for the murders.

to:

* AccidentalChildKillerBackstory: Angry over being locked in a room, and unaware Jeremy is standing behind the door, Corey kicks in the door and unintentionally sends the boy plummeting to his death.
* AlasPoorVillain: Despite everything Corey did, after he's dead, Laurie continues to feel some sympathy for him, seeing Corey as a victim of the town's harassment and Michael's evil influence.
* AmbiguousSituation: Was his StartOfDarkness prompted by years of abuse, or by something else, like a supernatural encounter with Michael Myers. Jeremy's father more or less posits this to Laurie.
* BastardUnderstudy: After helping Michael kill Doug, Corey becomes his protégé and follows in his footsteps. After embarking on double kill together, Corey decides he doesn't need Michael anymore and steals his mask to "succeed" him as the Shape. Michael [[NeckSnap doesn't appreciate this]], [[PayEvilUntoEvil to say the least]].
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Being mistreated as a pariah caused him to go off the deep end.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Most of the time in public, Corey hardly speaks. Once he goes down his villainous path, he becomes a straightforward example of this as he silently preys on his victims like Michael before him.
* BigBad: Once he starts going off the deep end, Corey effectively becomes the main villain of ''Ends'', with Michael being more of a corruptive influence than an active threat until the very end.
* BigBadSlippage: His character arc chronicles his transformation from a nerdy teenager, to bullied pariah, to Michael Myers copycat.
* BigBadWannabe: Although he successfully usurps the BigBad title from Michael and is plenty dangerous toward the average Haddonfield citizen, Corey is easily dispatched by Laurie the moment he tries gunning for her, and later finished off by Michael in time for the film's ''real'' climax.
* BoringButPractical: Lacking Michael's inhuman abilities, his first murder is very much this, ambushing and suffocating Allyson's asshole boss with a plastic bag while repeatedly stabbing him. It's only after he steals Michael's mask that he starts to take on some of the Shape's brutality.
* BullyingADragon:
** While Michael may have been [[DentedIron diminished]] by age and injury, Corey beating him up, [[BerserkButton stealing his mask]], and smugly calling him "just a man" was a ''phenomenally'' short-sighted thing to do, especially as Corey had already seen firsthand what Michael is capable of.
** Corey is well aware that Laurie has ''twice'' survived and even outfought Michael while the Shape was at his strongest; going after her, no matter how good he thought his chances were, proved to be exactly as bad of an idea as it sounds.
* BungledSuicide: Corey's attempt at a SpitefulSuicide fails to end his life as quickly as he thought it would; he ends up lingering, slowly and painfully bleeding out, long enough for Michael to catch up to him and [[NeckSnap finish the job]].
* ButtMonkey: For his role in Jeremy's death, Corey is a pariah in the town and either shunned or outright mocked by most.
* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from a remorseful accidental murder just trying to work a regular job to a willful killer that takes revenge on his tormentors over the course of the film.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Michael from the last two films. During those movies, Michael was getting old, which resulted in him copping a lot more injuries and sometimes opting for a CombatPragmatist route. Corey, on the other hand, is in his twenties and is way more able-bodied, and experienced with engineering equipment which comes in handy during the massacre at the junk yard. He also only targets people who he feels wronged him personally, though he will kill others who are in his way. Contrast with Michael, who kills randomly for no apparent reason. Corey also lacks Michael's borderline superhuman abilities; as soon as he's up against someone he can't sneak attack, he goes down in no time.
* CopKiller: He aids Michael in murdering officer Doug Mulaney.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: With Michael absent, the people of Haddonfield needed a new "boogeyman" at whom to direct their anger. When Corey accidentally killed Jeremy, they got one, turning the young man into a hated pariah who endured endless abuse. While it hardly excuses his actions, it's unsurprising that Corey finally does snap and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil become the monster everyone accuses him of being]].
* CurbStompBattle: His attempt to kill Laurie fails before Corey can so much as lay a finger on her; Laurie fakes him out with an apparent suicide and shoots Corey twice in the chest, critically wounding him.
BuryYourGays: The only damage he actually manages to do is temporarily ruining Laurie and Allyson's relationship, and that doesn't last long.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: After fatally wounding himself, when Michael goes to pick the knife up to go after Laurie, Corey grabs his hand to try and stop him, likely [[DyingAsYourself breaking free of the evil inside him at the last moment]].
* DefiantToTheEnd: Despite laying bleeding and virtually helpless, Corey tries with all his remaining strength to stop Michael from taking the knife he used to stab himself just before the latter snaps his neck.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Leaving Michael alive after stealing his mask was ''dramatically'' short-sighted; sure enough, Michael tracks Corey down within a few hours and takes back what's his, finishing a wounded Corey off for good measure.
** Trying to kill Laurie, despite her reputation as a CrazySurvivalist and survivor of Michael
explicitly gay characters in his prime; Corey severely underestimates her and is quickly shot for his trouble.
** Corey's attempt to frame Laurie for murdering him fails because he left Willy the Kid's radio tower in flames, cluing Allyson in to the fact that Corey was no innocent victim.
* DisappearedDad: Corey's father is never mentioned in the film.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He spends much of the runtime committing the murders instead of Michael and the film appeared to be setting him up as his successor, but he's killed the moment he tries his luck with Laurie, and Michael returns as the FinalBoss.
* DisproportionateRetribution: While the majority of Corey's victims were [[AssholeVictim less than admirable people]] who wronged either he or Allyson in some way, none of their transgressions warranted violent murder. This is particularly egregious when it comes to Terry (who Corey burned alive with a blowtorch; although the worst of the bullies, nothing that Terry did to Corey was nearly so brutal), Margo (whose skull Corey stomped despite her not taking part in the bullying), Willy the Kid (whose insults earned him a lethal beating and TongueTrauma), and Laurie (who he tried to murder for rightfully telling him to stay away from Allyson).
* DrivenToSuicide: After Laurie shoots him, he realizes his plan is hopeless, and he stabs himself in the neck. He doesn't die immediately, though, and is finished off by an angry Michael.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Zig-zagged. He gets along with his uncle but despises his mother enough to kill her.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Corey is first seen going to Jeremy's house and meeting the latter and his parents, speaking with them about his intention to show Corey a good time and his longterm school goals. This cements Corey as a normal teenager who just wants to competently do his job, and makes the events of the night all the more tragic.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted:
** Corey becomes very attached to Allyson, and he never targets her after becoming a killer, but his actions where she's concerned are violent and murderous; he leads a romantic rival to Michael to be killed, and murders her boss for a slight towards Allyson (he promoted another nurse, whom he was sleeping with, over her). In the end, however, his affection for her is portrayed as more of an obsession and desire to possess her; he sabotages her only other positive relationship, and when trying to kill Laurie doesn't work, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him, happy to die rather than allow Allyson to have a positive relationship with someone other than him.
** Corey's mother is extremely possessive of her adult son, as well as emotionally and at one point, physically abusive. During his murder spree, Corey lumps her in with everyone else who's wronged him and murders her.
** Corey's uncle Ronald is one of the very few people in Haddonfield who treats him well, giving him a job and an old motorcycle, as well as sincerely hoping the embattled young man finds love. Corey doesn't kill Ronald himself, but he shows no emotion when Ronald is caught in the crossfire of Corey's rampage and dies accidentally taking a bullet for Corey (and given that Ronald had seen Corey with Michael's mask, it's doubtful that Corey would have let him live anyway).
* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
** In a conversation with Laurie, Corey assumes that she experienced something like he did when she looked into Michael's eyes, telling her that she should [[EvilFeelsGood give in to that feeling]]; unlike Corey, Laurie has never shown any sign that she enjoys violence or feels any need to take her own suffering out on others (Michael, the cause of said suffering, being the sole exception).
** Corey assumed that Allyson would completely believe that Laurie murdered him in cold blood, hence his ThanatosGambit; while, in the heat of the moment, Allyson did initially buy into it, all it took was a single clue to Corey's true nature for Allyson to realize the truth, showing that she wasn't quite as gullible as Corey believed.
* EvilCounterpart: Corey is one to Karen since Karen is Laurie's protégé while Corey becomes Michael's successor. Corey and Karen also die in a similar fashion to the other's predecessor: Michael kills Karen after Karen believes Michael is dead while Laurie mortally wounds Corey after Corey presumes that she committed suicide.
* EvilFeelsGood: Before embracing evil, Corey was neurotic, jumpy, and [[HatedByAll understandably]] miserable. Once he's jumped headlong into sociopathy, however, he's much more confident and content, clearly enjoying his newfound murderous attitude.
* EvilIsPetty:
** The first death that Corey ''deliberately'' causes is that of Doug, a former flame of Allyson's with whom Corey had an argument. While it's implied that Doug followed Corey to physically assault him, Corey gleefully leads the man to be murdered by Michael just to learn how to commit murder for himself.
** Corey doesn't just attack Michael and steal his mask prior to the third act, but he takes a moment to mock the Shape as well, deeming him "just a man".
** During his attack on the teen bullies, Corey takes a moment to remove Michael's mask so that they can see that it's him attacking them, not Michael. As he intends to kill them all regardless, it's implied that the only reason he bothered was for the sake of his own ego.
** His attack on Willy the Kid was provoked by the shock jock insulting Corey, a particularly petty motive compared to his killing of the teen bullies (one of whom threw him off an overpass) and his mother (who abused him). He also goes the extra mile of setting fire to Willy's radio station after murdering him.
** After savagely beating Willy the Kid, Corey takes a moment to cut off the shock jock's tongue with a pair of scissors before leaving him for dead.
** After being defeated by Laurie, Corey stages a SpitefulSuicide to spoil any chance she has of reconciling with Allyson.
* {{Expy}}:
** He's one to the original concept of [[Characters/HalloweenJamieLloyd Jamie Lloyd]], who was meant to go down the same murderous path as her uncle before the sequel kiboshed the idea.
** He's also one of [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning Roy Burns]], being a copycat killer who takes on the likeness of an infamous mass murderer to commit his own revenge-driven killing spree.
* FatalFlaw: His temper. Corey's unintentional killing of Jeremy was caused by him beating down the door in the house in a fit of rage (unawake that Jeremy was right by it), his breaking of his glass milk is trigged by him being insulted and thereby getting angry enough to snap it, and his killings (which are all directed at people he feels slighted by) are extensions of him expressing his anger.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Seems to have this dynamic with Frank Hawkins, who despite having met Corey and viewing him as a good kid, never interacts with him throughout the film.
* {{Foil}}: To Michael himself; Michael's defining moment was deliberately murdering his sister while he was a child, whereas Corey's is accidentally murdering a child as a young adult. While they both became killers (with Corey even wearing Michael's mask), Michael was a spree killer who attacked at random, while Corey targets those who he feels wronged him. Michael is void of human attachments, while Corey becomes attached (albeit in a far from healthy way) to Allyson. Michael is an old man who, despite his [[DentedIron weakened state]], is still deadly, while Corey is a young man who relies on sneak attacks. In their confrontations with Laurie, Corey is quickly defeated without touching Laurie, whereas Michael, despite losing and dying himself, puts up a solid fight.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Much like Michael himself in his younger days, Corey is a good-looking, clean-cut young man whose looks attract him some positive female attention despite his bad reputation. Beneath that handsome exterior, however, Corey ultimately proves to be a deeply troubled person who, while a victim of abuse, becomes a vicious, [[EvilIsPetty petty]], and self-centered murderer.
* FrameUp:
** {{Implied|Trope}}; before setting out on his killing spree, after which he intends to leave town along with Allyson, Corey attacks Michael, stealing his mask and dressing up in the Shape's signature attire, presumably intending for his murders to be attributed to the local boogeyman.
** After Laurie gets the better of him and Allyson is nearly at her door, Corey, in an attempt to spite Laurie for telling him to stay away from Allyson, stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him with the intent of ruining her and Allyson's relationship once and for all.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Goes from a dorky, shy man to the protégé and copycat killer of Michael Myers.
* GenerationXerox: A rare mentor as opposed to parental variant; he bears a striking resemblance to Michael when he was young.
* HatedByAll: After Jeremy's death, Corey is a pariah; only his uncle, Lindsey, Allyson, and Laurie are willing to give him a chance.
* HatedHometown: After the populace turns on him, Corey grows to deeply resent and despise Haddonfield, hoping to leave it behind even before his run-in with Michael. By the third act of
''Halloween Ends'', he's taken this to an extreme, murdering the people who have given him the most grief and acting on Allyson's metaphorical desire to burn the place down by literally setting fire to Willy the Kid's radio station, all with the intention Kills'', [[spoiler:and two of skipping town for good once he'd finished his killing spree.
* TheHeavy: Since
Michael's age and injuries have left him heavily debilitated, Corey picks up the slack in moving the plot with his villainous arc before making a grab for the BigBad role in the last third of the film.
many, many victims.]]
* HeroWithBadPublicity: At the beginning of the film, Corey is a well-meaning, misunderstood young man who unintentionally caused the death of the child he was babysitting and generally keeps to himself when he isn't going to work.
* IfICantHaveYou: Develops this attitude toward Allyson, though he doesn't say it to her directly, but to Laurie. In a variation on the trope, he never tries to kill Allyson. Rather, his intention is that if she doesn't have a relationship with him, he won't let her have a relationship with ''anyone'', doing his best to destroy her relationship with Laurie once he's been bested and set to be exposed as a murderer.
* ImplacableMan: Though nowhere near as strong as Michael, he's still this. Even before his killing spree, during a date with Allyson, he falls off a building and sits up, eeriely like Michael does. When Laurie shoots him twice in the chest, he sits up again. When he tries to kill himself by stabbing himself in the throat, he ''still'' doesn't die and tries to grab Michael to stop him before Michael breaks his neck.
* ItGetsEasier: The first time Corey killed someone, it was an accident and he was shocked and traumatized. The second time, he was acting in self-defense and was shocked enough to throw away the weapon. The third time, he deliberately lures someone to Michael, fully intending for them to die, so that he can learn how to murder for himself; every other death Corey causes is 100% deliberate and done without hesitation, mercy, or remorse.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Once Corey has [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped headlong into darkness]], he stops caring about anyone or anything except himself and the wrongs he feels were committed against him, brutally murdering people for such minor offences as insulting him and stabbing himself in the throat when he realizes that he can't have Allyson to spite Laurie and completely ruin her and Allyson's relationship.
* JackTheRipoff: Becomes "The Shape II" and commits most of the kills for ''Ends''.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He isn't wrong when he points out that Laurie is the one who introduced him to Allyson and thereby served as the catalyst for them starting a relationship after Laurie tries to warn him to stay away from her granddaughter.
* KickTheDog:
** While the teens who tormented him arguably [[AssholeVictim brought their fates on themselves]], Corey also murders Margo, who argued for leaving him alone and apologized for her friends' actions.
** Before killing Willy the Kid, Corey murders his receptionist, who is innocent.
** Beaten by Laurie, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame her for murdering him so as to ruin Laurie and Allyson's relationship.
* LikeParentLikeChild: Corey's mother is overly attached to him and hates the idea of him growing close to someone else; Corey himself proves to be no different where Allyson is concerned, telling that Laurie that if ''he'' can't have her, ''no one'' will, which he tries to see through by sabotaging Allyson and Laurie's relationship.
* MadeOfIron: Though nowhere near as sturdy as Michael, Corey withstands falls, gun shots, a cut to his hand, and other injuries as the film progresses.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: In his murder of Dr. Mathis, Corey wears a scarecrow mask that Allyson gave him, and during his rampage later in the film, he steals and wears
DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:They use Michael's own mask.
* ManipulativeBastard: Post-StartOfDarkness, Corey does his best
story to isolate Allyson from Laurie, even telling her that Laurie threatened his life, in order to have Allyson all to himself. After Laurie defeats his attempt to murder her, Corey even stabs himself in the throat to make it look like Laurie murdered him, intending to exploit the fears he planted in Allyson's mind to permanently ruin her and Laurie's relationship.
* {{Matricide}}: Before leaving to attack Laurie, Corey murders his own emotionally abusive mother.
* MeaningfulAppearance: When first introduced and before his initial encounter with Michael, Corey wears glasses. Once they're broken and he returns from looking into Michael's eyes, he no longer wears them or tries to get another pair, signifying a change that alludes to the impact of the encounter.
* MeaningfulName:
** His surname is a reference to Arnie Cunningham from John Carpenter's ''Literature/{{Christine}}'', who gets obsessed with and corrupted by a malevolent supernatural force. Corey ends up going down a similar road.
** Like the series' original boogeyman,
scare some trick-or-treaters. Then Michael Myers, Corey Cunningham has an AlliterativeName.
comes home.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: His killing of Susan, Willy the Kid's receptionist who he encounters before going after the latter, can come off as this considering most of his other victims were people that directly mocked or harmed him in the past and he had no prior transgressions with her.
* MistakenForPedophile: Terry accuses Corey of being a pedophile while taunting him, though whether he actually believes that or is just trying to wind him up is unclear.
* MoralMyopia: Corey is angry and later tries to kill Laurie for telling him to stay away from Allyson, despite the fact that Corey has either deliberately committed or been an accessory to three murders by that point.
* NearVillainVictory: Before being defeated by Laurie, Corey had successfully killed every single person that he had targeted, tricked Allyson into thinking he was a good person, and succeeded Michael as Haddonfield's new killer.
* NeckSnap: Despite his attempt at a SpitefulSuicide, Corey lingers long enough for Michael to come along and repay Corey for beating him and stealing his mask.
* NeverMyFault: After being confronted by Jeremy's mother at a party Allyson invited him to, Corey angrily blames Allyson for "making" him go, despite the fact that he's the one who decided to accept the invitation.
* NiceGuy: In the beginning, he seemed like a decent guy before he started killing people.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Corey makes a genuine attempt to appeal to Jeremy while babysitting him, and his concern for the boy leads him into the prank that unintentionally causes Jeremy's death.
* NotQuiteDead: After stabbing himself in the throat, Corey appears dead, but when Michael arrives to reclaim his mask, Corey proves to be hanging on by a thread, albeit a thread that Michael [[NeckSnap swiftly cuts]].
* OfficialCouple: With Allyson after he confesses to his first (purposeful) murder.
* OhCrap: The already immobile and dying Corey gets one last moment of shock and fear when Michael finds him and retrieves the mask that Corey stole.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Though Jeremy's death was ultimately an accident, the people of Haddonfield have long-since decided his guilt and relentlessly bully and abuse him for it, even three years later. Unsurprisingly, Corey ends up snapping under the pressure and [[ThenLetMeBeEvil really does become the murderer the town treated him as]].
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Corey would have been a formidable slasher villain in almost any other movie, but he made the fatal mistake of going after Laurie Strode, who put Michael Myers through his paces even at his prime.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: The biggest difference between him and Michael is that while the latter kills indiscriminately, virtually every victim (or attempted victim) of Corey is someone who he feels has either mistreated or wronged him or Allyson. He targets the school band bullies after multiple instances of harassment from them, his mother after she tries controlling him and assaults him, Willy the Kid and by extension his assistant after Willy mocks and threatens him, and Laurie after she tells him to end his relationship with Allyson.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: His arc is him GainingTheWillToKill and becoming a murderer in the same vein as Michael.
* PsychoticSmirk: As a sign of Corey [[ThenLetMeBeEvil fully embracing his dark side]], he smiles creepily at Doug while leading him to his death at Michael's hands, gives a similar smile to Michael himself after watching him kill Nurse Deb, and taunts Terry with one more smile before murdering both him and Margo.
* ReformedButRejected: Whatever anger that Corey has that can sometimes cause him to act
EyeScream: [[spoiler:Michael gouges Big John's eyes out physically never manifests itself in the years after Jeremy's death yet the town continues to treat him poorly.
* RevengeIsSweet: He smiles right before double-teaming Doug with Michael. Realizing that Allyson is pulling up in the driveway, he smiles at Laurie before stabbing himself to trick his girlfriend into thinking her grandmother murdered him.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After donning the Shape's mask, Corey goes after people he feels personally wronged by, murdering the teens who harassed him, the shock jock who insulted him, his abusive mother, and tries to finish with Laurie, whom he sees as an obstacle to his relationship with Allyson.
* TheScapegoat: Although Jeremy's death was caused by the boy being by the locked door that Corey kicked hard, had Jeremy would not have died had he not trapped Corey in the room
with his prank, but because Jeremy's parents heard Corey's threats before the death, he's blamed for the death. Jeremy's father, long thumbs.]]
* StraightGay: Neither of them are remotely stereotypical.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Invoked in a particularly twisted way;
after the event, theorizes that people holding Corey responsible for Jeremy's death was less because of the act itself, and more because, in the absence of Michael, the town wanted ''someone'' to direct anger at for the collective trauma they experienced because of the Shape.
* SelfDisposingVillain: Corey goes after the one heroic person who can stop him and although she doesn't kill him, his injuries and subsequent attempt to take his own life renders him weaker when trying to stop Michael.
* SlasherSmile: While he previously restricted himself to {{Psychotic Smirk}}s, just before he stabs himself in the throat, Corey flashes a blood-stained grin at Laurie, [[SmugSnake assuming that his final effort will succeed]].
* SmugSnake: After JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, Corey is brimming with newfound confidence, and by the end of the film, arrogantly assumes that he can get the better of both
killing them, Michael and Laurie, even leaving the former alive after stealing his mask, [[BullyingADragon smugly rubbing in to Michael that he's "just a man"]]. Needless to say, both [[CurbStompBattle Laurie]] and [[NeckSnap Michael]] prove him wrong in short order. Even his final ThanatosGambit, framing Laurie for murdering him, is done with a confident SlasherSmile as he assumes that Allyson would have no trouble believing it. It did work for a short time, but it only took a single sign of Corey's prior rampage for Allyson to realize the truth, quickly turning Corey's last act of villainy into a total failure. Corey may have thought of himself as an equal to Michael, but the movie ultimately shows him to be a petty, short-sighted, and nowhere near as smart or capable as he assumed himself to be.
* TheSociopath: Whether this was always the case is ambiguous, but by the time he lures Doug to Michael, Corey has become a vicious, spiteful murderer who reacts violently to slights ranging from physical assault to simple insults, murdering people in savagely brutal ways and wanting to be Allyson's only positive relationship.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: He's on the receiving end of this when Allyson admits she was wrong about him to Laurie.
* SpitefulSuicide: When he hears Allyson's car pull up after being defeated by Laurie, Corey stabs himself in the throat to frame Laurie for murdering him, preferring to leave Allyson all alone in the world rather than not have her himself. The attempt turns out to be a complete failure; not only does Allyson quickly learn the truth, but Corey himself lingers long enough for Michael to [[NeckSnap finish him off]].
* SuicideAttack: Stabs himself in the neck in an attempt to convince Allyson that Laurie killed him. [[NotQuiteDead He turns out to still be alive]].
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After committing the accidental murder of the boy he was babysitting, Corey tries to move on with his life despite the guilt and trauma of the incident. Unfortunately, nobody in Haddonfield believes it was an accident and torments him over it, especially Terry and his gang. After said gang attacks him and throw him off a bridge, he slowly begins to snap, deciding to become the monster everyone treated him as.
* TragicVillain: Corey was a nice, well-meaning young man with a temper who, upon accidentally killing the child he was babysitting the first Halloween after Michael's second killing spree, became the town pariah and put up with
poses their poor treatment of him for years until snapping.
* TranquilFury: His reaction
bodies to mimic a romantic photo and plays an Anne Murray record over the marching band members insulting him is to stand and show disdain through his facial expression with the situation only escalating because the angered Corey broke his glass milk and its contents spilled on Terry. He adopts a similar reaction to Jeremy's mother confronting him while he's out with Allyson and his plan to kill Laurie failing.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Believing Laurie to just be Allyson's grandmother who is past her prime and can be just as easily killed as the rest of his victims comes back to bite him.
* UndignifiedDeath: After stabbing himself in the throat in an ultimately futile attempt at a ThanatosGambit, Corey lingers long enough to be finished off by Michael with a simple NeckSnap while helpless to defend himself.
* UngratefulBastard:
** Laurie was one of the few who gave him a chance after the town turned on him, introduced him to Allyson, and was generally accepting of him until correctly noticing that he was changing into a more dangerous person. Regardless of her past willingness to treat him well, he doesn't take the news of her wanting him to stay away from Allyson well and even wants her dead for this.
** Despite Margo protesting the bullying the rest of her high school band gave Corey, the latter has no problem killing her.
* VillainProtagonist: Corey is, for all intents and purposes, the true protagonist of ''Ends'', as he receives more screentime and focus than either Laurie or Michael, and the story is explored through his eyes.
* WalkingSpoiler: Trying to talk about his character without adding that he's the main antagonist of ''Ends'' is damn near impossible.
* WouldHurtAChild: Unintentionally. A kid he was babysitting, Jeremy, locked him in a room and taunted him from behind the door, situated on a high floor. When Corey kicks the door open, it sends Jeremy falling back behind the banister and plummeting to his death. He feels [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone appropriately guilty and traumatized]] about it.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He wrestles with Michael for the latter's mask and after a prolonged struggle, successfully takes it from him.
* {{Yandere}}: One of the main factors that drives Corey to kill. His plan is to leave Haddonfield with Allyson, but not before stealing Michael's mask and going on a killing spree against everyone who wronged him, and attempting to kill Laurie, all while framing Michael for the murders.

Kick The Son Of A Bitch now is no longer a trope due to TRS.


* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Attacking Michael and stealing his mask, implicitly to frame him for Corey's own murders.
** Downplayed in his murder spree; while many of his victims were awful people, Corey's brutality is excessive, especially given that he murders two innocent women along the way.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Most of the time in public, Corey hardly speaks. Once he goes down his villainous path, he becomes a straightforward example of this as he silently preys on his victims like Michael before him.


Added DiffLines:

* MisplacedRetribution: His killing of Susan, Willy the Kid's receptionist who he encounters before going after the latter, can come off as this considering most of his other victims were people that directly mocked or harmed him in the past and he had no prior transgressions with her.

* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:She pulls this on her mother after discovering that Michael is still alive, not wanting to startle the heavily injured Laurie into trying to get involved again.]]



* DyingAlone: [[spoiler:Karen is killed in the Myers house after her daughter has been taken to safety and dies a bloody death on the floor.]]



* Hallucinations: Seems to have one of Michael as a child before she makes the decision to go into the room where she saw his image.

Added DiffLines:

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:In the same film where she tries taking care of her mother and helping a mental patient who's been mistaken for Michael escape from an angry mob, she is killed at the very end of the film after trying to save her daughter and help the same angry mob actually succeed in their goal.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UnknownRival: She is this to Michael as although the latter never met her before the 2018 film, Karen has spent her life being trained and prepared for him by her mother.
* WomenAreWiser: She is certainly the more intelligent and fight-capable between her husband and herself, given that she's been trained to defend herself while Ray was not. [[spoiler:This plays into her husband dying in the 2018 film while Karen survives until the end of the sequel.]]

Added DiffLines:

* PayEvilUntoEvil: The biggest difference between him and Michael is that while the latter kills indiscriminately, virtually every victim (or attempted victim) of Corey is someone who he feels has either mistreated or wronged him or Allyson. He targets the school band bullies after multiple instances of harassment from them, his mother after she tries controlling him and assaults him, Willy the Kid and by extension his assistant after Willy mocks and threatens him, and Laurie after she tells him to end his relationship with Allyson.

Added DiffLines:

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite their bickering and Karen telling Laurie that she needs help, the former is very devoted to her mother, which is especially apart during the hospital scenes in ''Kills'' where she remains by her side until going to confront Michael and find Allyson.


Added DiffLines:

* ThePlan: Her plot to kill Michael in ''Kills'' involves luring him to a trap where armed and disgruntled Haddonfield citizens can take turns picking him apart.
* PresentAbsence: [[spoiler:Although she doesn't appear in ''Ends'', the effects of her death are what cause Allyson and Laurie to live together, her photos and elements of her life such as her wedding ring are in her mother and daughter's new home, and she's the only deceased character mentioned by name.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SelfDisposingVillain: Corey goes after the one heroic person who can stop him and although she doesn't kill him, his injuries and subsequent attempt to take his own life renders him weaker when trying to stop Michael.


Added DiffLines:

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He wrestles with Michael for the latter's mask and after a prolonged struggle, successfully takes it from him.

Added DiffLines:

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Corey is first seen going to Jeremy's house and meeting the latter and his parents, speaking with them about his intention to show Corey a good time and his longterm school goals. This cements Corey as a normal teenager who just wants to competently do his job, and makes the events of the night all the more tragic.


Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Seems to have this dynamic with Frank Hawkins, who despite having met Corey and viewing him as a good kid, never interacts with him throughout the film.


Added DiffLines:

* ReformedButRejected: Whatever anger that Corey has that can sometimes cause him to act out physically never manifests itself in the years after Jeremy's death yet the town continues to treat him poorly.


Added DiffLines:

* TranquilFury: His reaction to the marching band members insulting him is to stand and show disdain through his facial expression with the situation only escalating because the angered Corey broke his glass milk and its contents spilled on Terry. He adopts a similar reaction to Jeremy's mother confronting him while he's out with Allyson and his plan to kill Laurie failing.


Added DiffLines:

* UngratefulBastard:
** Laurie was one of the few who gave him a chance after the town turned on him, introduced him to Allyson, and was generally accepting of him until correctly noticing that he was changing into a more dangerous person. Regardless of her past willingness to treat him well, he doesn't take the news of her wanting him to stay away from Allyson well and even wants her dead for this.
** Despite Margo protesting the bullying the rest of her high school band gave Corey, the latter has no problem killing her.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: He isn't wrong when he points out that Laurie is the one who introduced him to Allyson and thereby served as the catalyst for them starting a relationship after Laurie tries to warn him to stay away from her granddaughter.


Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulAppearance: When first introduced and before his initial encounter with Michael, Corey wears glasses. Once they're broken and he returns from looking into Michael's eyes, he no longer wears them or tries to get another pair, signifying a change that alludes to the impact of the encounter.


Added DiffLines:

* TragicVillain: Corey was a nice, well-meaning young man with a temper who, upon accidentally killing the child he was babysitting the first Halloween after Michael's second killing spree, became the town pariah and put up with their poor treatment of him for years until snapping.
