Poor Bastards of Cinema: Halloween 4- The Return of Michael Meyers (Part 2)

Another induction for just some guy at the wrong place and the wrong time in a Slasher Film.

In Halloween 4, Michael has returned home.  As his body count grows, he decides to give himself an advantage.

That brings us to this guy- Electric Grid Worker for Haddonfield.
Michael wants to take the power out for the entire City, so this is where he has to go.
So there are many ways to do this...

- Wait for the guy to leave and wreck stuff.
- Knock the guy out and wreck stuff.
- Smash the stuff with his car.

Michael is not about subtlety though- you all know that.
...so he just chucks the guy into some stuff and the electricity kills him violently, causing the power goes out in Town!  Ouch.
It's not clear why this guy had to die.  Is this retroactively to be blamed on the Cult of Thorn?

The lesson: don't work for the City in a Horror Film.

In real life, do it though- you get great benefits.

Next time, a guy killed in *that other* Halloween Film.  Before I purge my memory of it for another Year, I might as well do this induction.  Stay tuned...
