A butcher knife is not long enough to pin someone to a wall and hold them a foot off the ground.

....because in all the Halloween franchise, with the Shape being shot, set on fire, blown up and decapitated and with Loomis surviving all those years and the Man in black and the Cult of Thorne....THIS was the part you found to be a bridge too far???

And they basically pulled the same stunt in Halloween 2 when he stabbed the nurse in the back with a SCALPEL and lifted her up off the ground with it. In reality, it wouldn't have lifted her up, it would've just carved its way up her back.
