Strip club

A strip club is a place of business where girls dance around on a raised platform, shake their ta-tas and take their clothes off. This is always performed with musical accompaniment and may also include additional tools of the trade such as the popular stripper pole. While most establishments try to maintain legitimacy with local obscenity laws, others may also expand their profit margins by engaging in more illicit acts such as prostitution. Customers, usually male if its a "gentleman's club", are expected to tip the dancers by shoving money into their g-string. Paper money is preferred as coins tend to be kind of cold and may get "lost" in all the wrong areas. Some strippers may also perform private dances for patrons willing to pay a little extra. These are generally referred to as lap dances and may be performed in the general customer area or in a private booth. If one is lucky, he may even get the opportunity for a little rub 'n' tug.

In the Halloween remake series, there is a gentleman's club located one block east of Route 1 in Haddonfield, Illinois called the Rabbit in Red Lounge. It was owned and operated by a man named "Big Lou" Martini. Deborah Myers worked here as a dancer in the years leading up to her death. In the years following her death, the lounge gained a small measure of notoriety, mostly because Deborah was the mother of Michael Myers, the so-called "Butcher of Haddonfield". Lou Martini sought to capitalize on the murders and showcased a poster in his club identifying one of his former dancers as the mother of Michael Myers.

During the Halloween season of 2009, Big Lou attempted to drum up business by making a special appearance at a park dressed up as the Frankenstein Monster. He was interviewed by a Channel 18 news reporter named Holly West.

That evening, Big Lou, a stripper named Misty Dawn and club bouncer Howard Boggs watched the prerecorded news broadcast at the club. Michael Myers broke into the club and attacked all three of them. Michael accosted Boggs outside the club, picking him up and slamming him hard upon the ground. He then stomped Howard's face in with his heavy boot, killing him. Michael brought the corpse into the lounge and hung Howard's body from a string of holiday lights. He then attacked Lou, breaking his arm and brutally slamming his body into a wall until he was dead. Michael grabbed Misty and repeatedly bashed her face against a glass mirror until she died.
