Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is the ultimate final girl in so many ways, like the fact that she’s done battle with iconic murderer Michael Meyers in nine different movies, while nobody else on this list has more than five movies. She was there for the first two iconic Halloween flicks, before being killed off between movies, and then returning (she faked her death, it turned out) for H20 and Halloween: Resurrection, when Michael Meyers finally was able to kill her. But Laurie is such a survivor that she came back for David Gordon Green’s reboot trilogy, which ignored all the previous Halloween sequels and allowed her to finally kill and destroy Michael’s body, ending him for good. And we shouldn’t forget about the other Laurie, from the Rob Zombie remake series. This Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) also successfully defeats Michael, but then puts on his mask herself at the end of the second movie.
