Mike was a deputy employed by the Collinsport Sheriff’s department. He answered directly to Sheriff George Patterson. In June of 1970, Mike and his partner, Alex had been turning off the road leading towards the Collinwood estate when they witnessed the vampire Carolyn Stoddard appear wraith-like in the middle of the road. Mike and Alex radioed the spectacle to Sheriff Patterson just as their squad car veered off the street, slamming into a tree on the front lawn. Alex was in a mild state of shock, while Mike suffered a broken leg.
Later that evening, Sheriff Patterson and the occultist, Professor Timothy Eliot Stokes located Carolyn at the Collinwood stables. Patterson armed all of his deputies with crucifixes and guns loaded with silver bullets. Alex and the other officers hemmed Carolyn in, giving Stokes the opportunity to drive a stake into her heart, ending her undead existence once and for all.
Notes[]
- This character was never given screen credit in the movie. The actor who portrayed this character is unknown.
- Mike is never mentioned by name in the movie. He is only mentioned in the novel.
- In the movie, Mike was the driver of the squad car that swerved into the tree. In the novel, he was the passenger.
- The novel states that Mike broke his leg during the crash, so it is unlikely that he was present during the siege against Carolyn in the Collinwood stables.
