Biography
Paul was the boyfriend of Annie Brackett. He was grounded for wrecking his dad's motorcycle but managed to get out of it on Halloween. That night, Paul picked up Annie after she had taken Lindsey Wallace, whom she was supposed to babysit, to stay with Annie's best friend Laurie. Back at the Wallace house, Paul and his girlfriend went to the living room and began to make out until they desired to have sex. As they became too engrossed, neither noticed that Michael Myers was watching them.

Michael suddenly grabbed Paul and stabbed him in the chest, which prompted Annie to run off, only to be caught and beaten into submission after she attempted to fight back. Later that night, Laurie arrived to drop off Lindsey and discovered Annie bloody and badly hurt on the floor and Paul's body hanged with a pumpkin over his head.
