History Characters / Halloween2018

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanShipAcademy: Vanessa shoots at Michael several times while he's in the car, missing every shot, but several of them ''do'' get quite close to him. It's not easy to shoot a gun accurately in the dark while you're walking in heels as it may look. [[spoiler: And Michael makes sure that she doesn't get off a killing shot.]]

* 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 murderous person everyone treated him as.

* BigBad: Once he starts going off the deep end, Corey effectively becomes the main villain of ''Ends'', with Michael being more of a corrupting influence than an active threat until the very end.

->'''Played by: Anthony Michael Hall'''

* AmbiguousSituation: Was his StartOfDarkness prompted by years of abuse, or by something else, [[spoiler: like a supernatural encounter with Michael Myers.]] Jeremy's father more or less posits this to Laurie.

* NiceGuy: In the beginning, he seemed like a decent guy before [[spoiler: he started killing people.]]

* 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.

* Ambiguous Situation: Was his StartOfDarkness prompted by years of abuse, or by something else, [[spoiler: like a supernatural encounter with Michael Myers.]] Jeremy's father more or less posits this to Laurie.

* AmbigousSituation: Was his StartOfDarkness prompted by his years of abuse, or by something else, [[spoiler: like supernatural encounter with Michael Myers.]] Jeremy's father more or less posits this to Laurie.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Corey would have been a formidable slasher villan in almost any other movie, but he made the fatal mistake of going after Laurie Strode, who put even Michael Myers through his paces at his prime.

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe. 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]].

* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:In the ''Kills'' flashback, Hawkins lies to his dying partner by telling him they had successfully stopped Michael when they didn't.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Halloween Ends'', Allyson [[BrokenPedestal goes from caring and loving her grandmother in the previous installments to outright blaming her for ruining her life with the deaths of her friends and family and how she's been facing bad luck ever since then]]. At first she kept it repressed and appeared to have a good relationship with Laurie, but once Allyson finds out Laurie's been interfering with his life by trying to keep her away from Corey and in amidst of packing up to leave Haddonfield, she outright vents out her true bitter and hostile feelings towards Laurie and [[YoureNotMyMother disowns her as her grandmother on the spot]] [[TheDoorSlamsYou before slamming the door to her face]]. The friction worsens when she [[spoiler:[[NotWhatItLooksLike finds Corey seemingly dead with Laurie standing over him]], seemingly cementing the rift between them and Allyson's IrrationalHatred of Laurie. But after seeing the radio station burning down, Allyson has a JerkassRealization and pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment just to save Laurie from being held in a ChokeHold by Michael after [[RebulitPedestal renewing her faith in her]]]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While his fate is never revealed after fleeing his home into the night, somebody clearly notified the police about the murders of Vicky and Dave. The following film, [[SubvertedTrope however]], reveals that he survived as he is interviewed by a local news station over the events of that night.

* 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 Hattonfield 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 murderous person everyone treated him as.

* MoralityChain: Despite the strained relationship with her mother Laurie, in her presence, Allyson is more sympathetic, charitable and kind to her grandmother, [[spoiler:but after her and her husbands's deaths, the orphaned Allyson becomes resentful and selfish and turns against Laurie in ''Halloween Ends'']].

* MoralityChain: Despite viewing Laurie as one those ObnoxiousInLaws, in his presence, Allyson is more sympathetic, charitable and kind to her grandmother, [[spoiler:but after his and his wife's deaths, the orphaned Allyson becomes resentful and selfish and turns against Laurie in ''Halloween Ends'']].

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Well not exactly teenage anymore as Allyson is 21 in contrast to her being seventeen in the previous films, but she fits the bill in ''Halloween Ends'' after having TookALevelInJerkass by blaming Laurie for ruining her life with her actions as a FailureHeroine and have TookALevelInDumbass making stupid decisions after another with her being short-sighted and ignorant of any warning signs, [[spoiler:especially in regards to the increasingly unstable Corey]].
