Gary Scott is a fictional coroner featured in the Halloween film series. He is part of the remake series and appeared in the 2009 film sequel, Halloween II directed by Rob Zombie. He was played by actor Richard Brake.
Gary Scott was an assistant coroner from Haddonfield, Illinois and the partner of Coroner Hooks. In 2007, they were called in to recover the body of the allegedly deceased serial killer Michael Myers. During the car ride back to County, Scott entertained his co-worker by telling him lewd stories about what it would be like to have intercourse with a corpse. After making such an allusion about Annie Brackett, daughter of Haddonfield's sheriff Leigh Brackett, Scott was warned that such talk would quickly find him unemployed. As the two men chatted, Hooks became distracted and struck a cow that was crossing the road. Hooks was killed immediately and Scott suffered severe injuries. The impact awakened Michael Myers, who emerged from the back of the ambulance and decapitated Gary Scott with a broken shard of glass.
Notes
- The character of Gary Scott was created by writer/director Rob Zombie.
- Gary Scott's comments about necrophilia with Annie Brackett's corpse do not make any logical sense since she was still alive at the point that the conversation took place.
