History YMMV / HalloweenNightdance

** Almost everything Michael does in this story. He torments [[TheHero Lisa]] by stalking her, [[spoiler: killing all of her friends, including a child she used to babysit, plus the child's family]], and ultimately [[spoiler: burys her alive in the cemetery in Haddonfield, made worse due to her fear of the dark]]. And this all because she has an uncanny resemblance to Michael's sister, Judith. Oh, did I mention [[spoiler: HE caused her fear of the dark in the first place by locking her and the kid she was babysitting in the basement of an abandoned house]]?

* {{Tearjerker}}: The deaths in the story. Most horror stories, including ''this'' franchise have at least one AssholeVictim. However, every death in this book is depressing, as everyone is sympathetic enough for you to care when Michael kills them.

* NightmareFuel: It's Halloween and Michael Myers is killing people, what'd you expect?
** Before going after Lisa, Michael is shown to have kidnapped a woman and her boyfriend. The girlfriend ends up breaking free and goes to find her boyfriend, [[spoiler: only to find Michael sitting near a fire looking at the corpse of the boyfriend, pinned through the neck above fire]].
*** Later on, its shown that the boyfriend's body had caught on fire and had disintegrated into black ash, though parts of his skeleton can be seen.
** Lisa getting the drawings in the mail. They're supposed to be from Daniel, a kid Lisa used to babysit, but the drawings contain disturbing images, for example, a naked woman being stabbed. [[spoiler: Then it's revealed that it wasn't Daniel drawing, he had been DeadAllAlong with his family. Michael drew those pictures]].
** Ryan's story arc: he and his wife, Marcie, drive to Russellville to visit Marcie's family, who haven't called in a while, leading Marcie to be worried. On the way, they hit a young woman, previously revealed to be a victim of Michael Myers. Ryan and Marcie go out to help the woman, but Marcie gets stabbed by Michael and kidnapped; Ryan then passes out from his injuries from the crash. In the hospital, he learns that he'd just encountered Michael Myers, a.k.a. The Mid-West Slasher, and goes after him. In the last issue, he meets Lisa and learns Michael is stalking her; he also discovers that his wife's family, [[spoiler: who are also the family of the boy Lisa babysat, all had their throats slit by Michael]]. After this, he becomes more desperate to find Marcie, so he has Lisa take him to the house where she and Daniel got trapped in, deducing that it's where Michael and Marcie are. But when they get there, [[spoiler: He finds Marcie dead, pinned to the wall by her wrists and her skull hollowed out into a jack-o-lantern, complete with a candle]]. Then, [[spoiler: Michael beats him up, cuts out his tongue, and puts his his mask on him, leading Ryan to get shot by a cop mistaking him for Michael]].
** Lisa's fate: [[spoiler: Getting buried alive, naked]].
%%** Lisa's frist encounter with Michael: she's in the shower when Michael turns off the lights and throws the body of Lisa's [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals ''gutted pet cat'']] in the shower

** And before all of that, Michael kidnapped a young couple who inadvertently trespasses where he was staying, killed the boyfriend and was about to kill the girlfriend, before she escaped. Then, when he was chasing her, he stabbed and kidnapped the wife of the dueterangonist, Ryan, [[spoiler: and it is later shown that he killed her and made her head into a jack-o-lantern]]. What relevance does this have in his main plan of torturing Lisa? ''Nothing''. [[ForTheEvluz This is just how he passes the time]].
