21!!Deborah Myers
22[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deborah_myers_halloween07.jpg]]
23!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/SheriMoonZombie
24
25A stripper and the mother of Judith, Michael and Angel Myers.
26----
27* AscendedExtra: She's a much more prominent character in the Zombieverse than in any of the original ''Halloween'' films.
28* BrokenBird: Already trapped in a relationship with an deadbeat asshole and her job being the only thing keeping the Myers family barely above the poverty line, the death of her family by her ten-year old son's hand cracks her further, but it's Micheal's murder of a nurse at Smith's Grove that makes her realize her son is gone and there is only one way out...
29* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After seeing how far Michael has gone after he kills a nurse while visiting him at Smith's Grove Sanitarium, she goes home, watching old family movies while sobbing and then shoots herself in the head]].
30* EtherealWhiteDress: Shown wearing a white dress throughout the second film.
31* MysticalWhiteHair: In the second film, her ghost or hallucination has white hair instead of her usual dirty blonde.
32* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Outlives her eldest child Judith.
33* SpiritAdvisor: In the second film, her ghost or hallucination appears to both Michael and Laurie.

36[[folder:Ronnie White]]
37!!Ronnie White
38[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronnie_white_halloween2007.jpg]]
39!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/WilliamForsythe
40
41Deborah Myers' boyfriend, who abuses both her and her children, particularly Michael.
42----
43* AbusiveParents: He verbally abuses both Michael and Judith, though he mainly focuses on Michael. He swears at Michael and makes homophobic remarks about him to his face.
44* TheAlcoholic: Ronnie is always drinking, be it day or night.
45* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Ronnie is so loathsome and annoying that you ''will'' cheer Michael on when he finally kills him.]]
46* BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:Michael duct-tapes him to a chair, and then slits his throat]].
47* TheBully: He torments Michael for amusement.
48* BullyingADragon: After learning that Michael has been killing animals, instead of showing shock, he throws things at him and mocks him for killing animals, saying that "that is some deep ass serious fagotty ass shit", and tells Michael he's a "whiny bitch".
49* CanonForeigner: Has no counterpart in the original films.
50* CopycatMockery: He constantly mocks Deborah, Judith, and Michael by copying their words in a whiny voice.
51* DirtyOldMan: Makes perverted comments about his girlfriend's teenage daughter.
52* GrumpyOldMan: Not very old, but he is very mean and ill-tempered.
53* HateSink: To the point of being more of a caricature of one more than anything. While Ronnie is clearly meant to be unlikable, his behavior is so stereo-typically repulsive that it borders on being unintentionally hilarious.
54* HeyYou: He never addresses anyone by name, he refers to Deborah as "bitch", Michael as "that freak", "little shit", and "boy", and doesn't even bother with finding a way to address Judith.
55* {{Jerkass}}: He's a loud, foul-mouthed, perverted man who frequently makes perverted comments about his girlfriend's daughter, is a complete asshole to everyone around him, shows NoSympathy for Michael when his rat dies, makes homophobic remarks to his face, threatens to beat him up, and is a deadbeat who mooches off his girlfriend.
56* LaughablyEvil: His behavior is pretty amusing to watch.
57* LazyBum: He does nothing to provide for the Myers family and spends his days drinking at home. Justified, since he has a broken leg and can't do much until it heals.
58* NoIndoorVoice: He constantly yells.
59* PsychopathicManchild: He acts more like a schoolyard bully in a man's body than an adult.
60* SirSwearsALot: Practically every other word out of him is a swear.
61* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:Michael slits his throat with a broken piece of glass]].
62* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: To where he might actually be a low-key GreaterScopeVillain. Michael may have been born somewhat broken, but Ronnie's abuse and toxicity being a key factor in his dysfunctional home life might have very well been what drove Michael to grow into a psychopathic monster.
63* WouldHurtAChild: Has no qualms with verbally abusing children, using strong profanity against them, mocking them, throwing things at them, or threatening them with assault.
64[[/folder]]
65
66[[folder:Judith Myers]]
67!!Judith Myers
68[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/judithmyers_07remake.jpg]]
69!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/HannaHall
70
71Deborah's eldest child and sister to Michael and Angel.
72----
73* AdaptationalJerkass: While the original Judith barely had any screen time, she seemed more-or-less like a relatively decent young woman. Here, she's all rude and bitchy, pretty much like anyone in the Zombieverse and is somewhat antagonistic towards Michael.
74* AdaptationalSkimpiness: Unlike the modestly dressed Judith in the original, her intro has her in translucent shirt, tube top and low-cut cut-offs. This is then inverted in her death scene as '78 Judith was topless when Michael killed her while in the remake she's in a nightie.
75* AscendedExtra: Zig-zagged. Gets more screentime and dialogue. Though, in the original continuities, she was Michael's first ever, and for years, only human victim making her an in-universe UrbanLegend. In the remake, she's Michael's fourth victim and makes far less of an impact. It's not even her headstone he steals from the cemetery this time, but [[spoiler: his mother's]] instead.
76* AssholeVictim: Judith, unlike the original, is a pure {{Jerkass}} who messes with Michael just as much as Ronnie does.
77* BigSisterBully: She can come off as cold and dismissive to Michael.
78* GuttedLikeAFish: Michael kills her by stabbing her several times.
79* MsFanservice: Before becoming FanDisservice in her death scene.
80* ReallyGetsAround: Implied that she has this reputation (if Michael’s bullies can be believed) and somewhat supported by her trailer-trash aesthetic and the fact that from her first to her last scene she’s pretty focused on sex.

83[[folder:Steven Haley]]
84!!Steven Haley
85!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/AdamWeisman
86
87Judith's boyfriend.
88----
89* AdaptationNameChange: In the first film, Judith's boyfriend was originally nameless and was only credited as "Boyfriend" though some ExpandedUniverse material would [[AllThereInTheManual later officially name him]] Daniel Hodges.
90* AscendedExtra: Downplayed. Judith's boyfriend only briefly appeared in the opening scene of the 1978 movie given only a few lines. In the remake, he gets a little more screen time and dialogue, and is even the reason how Michael gets his iconic mask.
91* BatterUp: [[spoiler:Michael beats him to death with an aluminum baseball bat.]]
92* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:While he left the original film unscathed, here he winds up being Michael's third victim.]]
93[[/folder]]
94
95[[folder:Sheriff Lee Brackett]]
96!!Sheriff Lee Brackett
97[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lee_brackett_07remake.jpg]]
98!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/BradDourif
99
100The sheriff of Haddonfield and Annie's father.
101----
102* AdaptationNameChange: A minor one. In the original film his name was '''Leigh''' Brackett, while here he is named '''Lee''' Brackett.
103* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the Zombieverse, Brackett explains to Loomis that he was the first man on the scene when [[spoiler:Deborah Myers committed suicide]] and brought Laurie to the hospital; from there, the Strodes adopted her.
104* GiveHerANormalLife: Brackett didn’t want the stigma of Michael Myers hanging around Laurie’s neck, and [[spoiler:omitted finding her in his police report of Deborah’s suicide, then drove her to another hospital’s town where the Strodes adopted her]].
105* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:In the sequel's Extended Cut, he is the only surviving main character (Laurie is killed at the end of this version)]].
106[[/folder]]
107
108[[folder:Annie Brackett]]
109!!Annie Brackett
110[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anniebrackett_halloween2007.jpg]]
111!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/DanielleHarris
112
113Sheriff Brackett's daughter and Laurie's best friend.
114----
115* AscendedExtra: The Zombieverse makes her a much more important character than in the John Carpenter film.
116* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She's prone to being this.
117* DeadpanSnarker: She frequently makes very snide comments.
118* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's arrogant, rude, and foul-mouthed but she is still Laurie's friend and cares about her. So much so that she starts becoming motherly towards her in the sequel, something that Laurie isn't appreciative of, leading to tension between them.
119* MsFanservice: She has a sex scene with her boyfriend in the first film that gets [[InterruptedIntimacy interrupted by Michael]].
120* SexSignalsDeath: Subverted. She survives Michael's rampage in the first film, [[spoiler:only to die in the following one.]]
121* SparedByTheAdaptation: She survives the events of the first film, in contrast to famously being the first of Laurie's friends to die in the 1978 version. [[spoiler:Even if she dies in the second film, she is well ahead of her original counterpart by outliving her for two years.]]
122* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:She dies in the second film at Michael's hands, but still well outlives her original counterpart]].
123* TookALevelInKindness: Unlike Laurie, Annie's trauma from her encounter with Michael ironically brought out a kinder side in her, as while it still clearly bothers her, she's made a better effort at coping and maturing despite it, and ends up chiding Laurie's increasingly bitchy behavior and bad habits like alcoholism as excuses from her own trauma out of concern for her, even flatly saying "I'm not impressed." when Laurie cusses her out and tells her to GetOut.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Lynda Van Der Klok]]
127!!Lynda Van Der Klok
128[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lyndavanderklok_halloween2007.jpg]]
129!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/KristinaKlebe
130
131One of Laurie's best friends, Lynda is wild, foul-mouthed, egotistical, and opportunistic, though she has a soft spot for Laurie.
132----
133* AdaptationalJerkass: She's much more crude and unpleasant here than in the original, where she was a much more friendly (yet slutty) ValleyGirl.
134* AdaptationalSkimpiness: While the original version is wearing an open blouse when [[spoiler:Michael kills her, the remake has her completely naked]].
135* AssholeVictim: She is significantly cruder and more egotistical than the air headed original character, and [[spoiler:which makes her death harder to mourn.]]
136* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She takes Annie's place as the first of Laurie's friends to die and whose corpse is placed in front of Judith Myers' headstone]].
137* MsFanservice: She spends extended portions of the film nude, which leads right into FanDisservice as [[spoiler:she's killed while naked and spends the rest of the movie that way]].
138* PomPomGirl: She's supposed to be this, although the film implies she got kicked off.
139* StatuesqueStunner: She's a MsFanservice character who stands 5'8".
140[[/folder]]
141
142[[folder:Bob Simms]]
143!!Bob Simms
144!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/NickMenell
145
146Lynda's bespectacled boyfriend.
147----
148* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is black instead of light brown here.
149* LousyLoversAreLosers: When Lynda sleeps with her boyfriend he "has a cramp" and ends up [[SpeedSex finishing early]]. When he asks her to [[SexinessScore rate]] him OnAScaleFromOneToTen she promptly gives him a "0" and he has the gall to act shocked.
150* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Like the original, he is stabbed and left to hang off the wall.
151* SpeedSex: Lynda claims he isn't good in bed.
152[[/folder]]
153
154[[folder:Paul Freedman]]
155!!Paul Freedman
156!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/MaxVanVille
157
158Annie's boyfriend.
159----
160* AscendedExtra: In the original he was only heard over the phone, while here he actually makes an onscreen appearance.
161* DeadGuyOnDisplay: [[spoiler:His corpse is strung up in a house with a jack-o-lantern on his head]].
162* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Paul never encountered Michael in the original, while he gets killed here]].
163[[/folder]]
164
165[[folder:Mason and Cynthia Strode]]
166!!Mason and Cynthia Strode
167!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/PatSkipper (Mason) and Creator/DeeWallace (Cynthia)
168
169Laurie's adoptive parents.
170----
171* AdaptationalNameChange: Mason was named Morgan in the original film.
172* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Laurie's adoptive mother in the original seemed kinda cold, bluntly telling her "I told you, I'm not your mother!" in a flashback. The remake version is more supportive and loving of Laurie even referring to her as "my baby."
173* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:While neither appears past Laurie's first scene and are presumably still alive by the ending of the first two films in the original timeline, both are killed by Michael here]].
174* GoodParents: They do seem like very loving people [[invoked]][[spoiler:making their deaths at Michael's hands all the more {{Tear Jerk|er}}ing]].
175* MythologyGag: Cynthia's name is likely a ShoutOut to the original Laurie's birth name Cynthia Myers.
176* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Their decision to adopt Laurie put them in Michael's crosshairs]].

191
192A little girl in Haddonfield who Annie initially babysits on Halloween, but then later puts that duty onto Laurie so she could be with her boyfriend Paul.
193----
194* AdaptationDyeJob: Was dark brunette in the original.

196
197[[folder:Lou Martini]]
198!!Lou Martini
199!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/DanielRoebuck
200
201The owner of the Rabbit in Red strip club, where Deborah works. After Michael's initial killing spree, Lou uses this as free publicity and advertises that the mother of the “Butcher of Haddonfield” worked at his club.
202----
203* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Returns in the sequel to be brutally killed by Michael.

209!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/KenForee
210
211A trucker who has an unfortunate encounter with Michael at a truck wash restroom. It's Joe's coveralls that Michael steals.
212----
213* AscendedExtra: He’s essentially a more notable version of the unnamed mechanic from the original film who Michael killed and stripped for a pair of coveralls.
214* BadassBoast: "Imma cut that mask right off your face." Doubles as his LastWords.
215* BadassNormal: He's just a normal human, but he managed to get slammed into the restroom stalls hard enough to dent them and shrug off what should have broken bones, and he managed to get one good hit in on Michael before getting killed.
216* CrazyPrepared: Downplayed. He was already armed with a knife in the event he came across an attacker.
217* CurbStompCushion: He manages to get one good hit in on Michael before being killed.
218* DyingMomentOfAwesome: He goes out fighting Michael and destroying the bathroom they're in during their fight.

257* JerkAss: He's a bully and a prick.
258* KarmicDeath: He's bludgeoned to death by the kid he spent his entirety of screentime bullying.

261** Shortly before he's murdered by Michael, he snatches a kid's hat and spits into it.
262* UndignifiedDeath: He gets bludgeoned to death by a kid he's spent years bullying, while pathetically begging him to stop.

301
302A perverted, necrophiliac paramedic.
303----
304* AssholeVictim: Such an asshole that he gets one of the most gruesome deaths in the entire series.
305* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Michael slowly saws off his head with a shard of broken glass.
306* ILoveTheDead: Mainly discussed, but also creepily implied.
307* {{Jerkass}}: This guy is the biggest asshole in the remake continuity, which really says a lot.
308* OffWithHisHead: Michael slowly saws off his head with a shard of broken glass.
309* {{Slimeball}}: He just oozes sleaze.

313!!Chester Chesterfield
314!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/SidHaig
315
316A gravedigger and caretaker of a cemetery in Haddonfield.
317----
318* MrExposition: Technically speaking, his only scene is to explain to Loomis, and the audience, about Judith Myers.
319* RepetitiveName: A variation.
320* YouLookFamiliar: InUniverse. Haig has a previous role in the same movie, playing a guard that is killed by Michael during a prison transport in the theatrical version. However, given how the Director's cut is wildly used, Chester is the only role that Haig is known for in the remake.

333
334The late husband/partner of Deborah Myers and the biological father of Judith, Michael, and Angel[[spoiler:/Laurie Strode]].
335----
336* DeathByAdaptation: Downplayed. Michael's father was also dead having been killed with his wife in a car wreck in the Thorn and H20 continuities. The Blumhouse trilogy leaves his fate unknown.
337* DemotedToExtra: This time not even making it onscreen unlike the original who at least got to be in the opening scene.
338* NoNameGiven: Just like the original and thus also listed by his presumed surname.
339* PosthumousCharacter: Died sometime before the events of the first remake and is only referenced in a single passing line by Judith ("My dad is Heaven, okay.").
