Written by Mr. Mouseburger 31st Oct 2005

Myers comes to a grisly end when trying to kill the film's virgin and all round goody, Laurie.

He manages to infiltrate the house she is in, but she stabs him first with a knitting needle, which causes him to fall to the ground. Like all good babysitters, Laurie runs upstairs to check on the kids, who are probably so traumatised at this point they will never sleep again, when Myers returns to life.

Laurie then hides in a wardrobe (closet), but is easily found by Myers, who proceeds to break it down. Quick thinking by Laurie makes her unravel a coat hanger and stab the wire into Myers' eye. This causes him to drop the knife, which Laurie picks up and uses to stab Myers in the chest. Again, Myers falls to the ground.

He is not dead yet though, and soon returns to life once again to grapple with Laurie. His time is running out though as Dr Loomis enters the house and shoots Myers several times. The final shot causes Myers to fall over the veranda to his death.

When Dr Loomis goes to the veranda to survey his handiwork however, Myers' body has gone and a movie franchise is born.

Just for the record, Dr Wynn doesnt run into the house, its Dr Loomis.

Dr. Wynn? You're joking, right? Wasn't Dr. Wynn the supervisor of the asylum where Myers stayed? and only in one scene too! Kinda obvious mistake, I'd correct it if I were you. By the way wouldn't one-on-one be a heated battle where the MAIN protagonist is the actual victor and doesn't need assistance form another character? Don't mean to be picky in the latter respect, just don't want one category to overflow.

Oops :blush: you are of course right!! - i think when i wrote this up i was rushing and grabbed the first doctor details i could find off of IMDB. I have made the necessary changes.

Mr Briggs - thanks for the point. To be honest, i am not sure. I think a major element of the whole scene is Laurie and Michael in a one-on-one fight where she tries time and again to kill him, to no avail. Yes, admittedly she needed help at the end to dispatch him, but i still think that you would class it as a one on one.

Since Durant got moved to cheating death, shouldn't Myers?
