Lynda Van Der Klok — Halloween: The Game Survivor Guide (Stats & Perks)

Lynda Van Der Klok is one of the babysitter group survivors in the Heroes of Haddonfield roster — and the reason half the lobby spawns with a knife in its pocket.

Verified traits

• Babysitter group — Lynda belongs to the film's classic babysitter trio alongside Annie Brackett and Bob Simms.
• Pocket knife starting item at level 10 — leveling Lynda to 10 unlocks the pocket knife as an equippable starting item. The pocket knife is a grab-breaker: when Michael's hands close on you, mashing the prompt breaks the grab — and if that grab would have ended the match, the knife just saved your run.

Stats

Lynda's exact stat numbers are never shown in-game and the community's compiled breakdowns have not been fully re-verified — treat specific values as Unconfirmed. The stat system itself (Melee, Athleticism, Composure, Ingenuity) is explained on the survivors page.

How to play Lynda

1. Walk into danger on purpose — with a grab-breaker from second one, Lynda can afford to loot rooms other survivors skip: the knife turns one guaranteed death per match into a second chance.
2. Work the escort loop — specials hide first, ordinary civilians walk to exits, and every successful escort pays the best organic XP in the game (win-condition guide).
3. Upgrade the knife habit — the butterfly knife and ice pick do the same job; knowing which grab-breaker you carry (and that it is consumed on use) is the difference between escaping and donating.
