Aaron Korey is a British true crime podcaster and partner of Dana Haines. Aaron and Dana have created numerous critically acclaimed podcasts, including one that shed new light on a 20-year-old murder case. Aaron, having followed Michael's case for many years, goes to Smith's Grove with Dana to interview Michael. Despite showing Michael his mask, Michael refuses to speak. Aaron and Dana then go to interview Laurie, only managing to get the interview by bribing Laurie. The podcasters stop at a gas station, where Dana goes to the bathroom. Aaron discovers a dead mechanic and attempts to rescue Dana from Michael, attacking Michael with a crowbar, but Michael bashes Aaron against a wall repeatedly and then Dana's stall, breaking the door. He dies just as Michael kills Dana.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“List of Halloween (franchise) characters” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Halloween and franchise provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q14916057. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1978, 1995, 1998 and 2002.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
