Biography[]
Freddie finds the girl he needs for the show
Freddie Harris was an entrepreneur who started Dangertainment. His main goal was to became rich and famous. To help him achieve this goal he got himself an assistant named Nora Winston. Freddie had a passion for kung-fu movies and practiced Chinese martial arts. He figured the best way to start his Internet reality show was to focus on the Myers house. On October 30, 2002, Freddie and Nora met the six Haddonfield University students they had selected. Only one of the six had interested Freddie and that was Sara Moyer, who later came to his motel room asking to drop out of the show. Freddie managed to convince her to sleep on it, as he told her she was the most real of all six. The next day, Freddie told the reporters that everything was real and that nothing around the house had been messed with. This later proved to be false as Freddie and his team had set up fake evidence that implied that Michael Myers was abused as a child.[1]
Later that night, Freddie had dressed up as Michael Myers to spice things up on the show. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the real Michael Myers had showed up, but Freddie thought it was Charley Albans and told him to get in the garage with Nora or else he would ruin everything. Michael played along and left. Moments later, Freddie grabbed Sara but was attacked by Jim Morgan. Freddie told Jim, Sara, and Rudy to turn off their cameras while he explained that everything was a hoax. He told them that he knew that if he did not set up anything the show would fail. He asked them to keep quiet about it (as he has set up a deal with money involved for all parties) and went on his way.[1]
Later, he found that everyone in the house but Sara was now dead, and the two grouped together to try and find their way out the house. They then saw Michael standing in the doorway and Freddie tried to tackle him down, but Michael tossed him across the room. Freddie tried to fight off Michael with some of his martial skills, but they did little against the killer. Sara tried to choke Michael with a camera cord but she too was unsuccessful in stopping him. Freddie then managed to kick Michael out the window. Thinking he was now dead, Freddie and Sara started to go downstairs and get out of the house, but Sara's internet friend Deckard informed them that Michael was still alive and in the house. At that moment, Michael appeared behind them and stabbed Freddie. Michael left him for dead while he chased after Sara.[1]
Freddie prepares to fight Michael
Freddie managed to recover and followed Michael to the garage, finding the garage burning and Sara helpless. Freddie got a shovel and tried to attack the killer with it, but it broke. Now Freddie tried to attack him with the handle, but Michael overpowered him and pushed him towards the wall. Michael prepared to stab Freddie, who grabbed an electric cord and shocked Michael, who fell back and tangled himself in cords. Freddie then set Michael on fire and carried Sara out of the garage. Later, he rescued Sara from a pack of reporters, as he figured she had had enough for the night. Freddie and Sara later looked at the face of Michael Myers, and Freddie had a few words toward him and hoped to never see him again.[1]
Reaction[]
Busta Rhymes ad-libbed most of his character's trademark profanity. Due in no small part to this, Freddie Harris is almost unanimously considered the worst character in the entire Halloween film series.
