Michael Myers, the knife-wielding, near-indestructible serial killer who is the star of the Halloween franchise, has had many ups and downs in his search for Lorie Strode or any other member of his family. What began as a slasher film in 1978 has grown into a franchise of eleven films, with two more set to be released.
Michael has been electrocuted, stabbed, tranquillized, burned, injected with acid, and blown up by explosives in eleven films, but he has always survived, though not totally triumphant. The series includes multiple continuity lines, making it a little tough to follow.
As a result, Marvelous Videos decided to break down the films for you, including minute details and undiscovered information, in order to provide you with a complete timeline and sequence of events. So, friends, put your kitchen knives away and take off your masks for absolute evil is approaching.
Halloween (1978)
Six-year-old Michael Myers was sent to the Smith’s Grove Sanitarium in 1963 for the following fifteen years after stabbing his elder sister to death with a kitchen knife in Haddonfield, Illinois(0.23 to 0.25).
Dr. Samuel Loomis, Michael Myers’ psychiatrist, arrived at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium in 1978 to transport him to court for his hearing; Samuel hoped Michael would never be permitted to leave the sanitarium, but Michael stole Samuel’s car and fled.
Michael assassinated a mechanic on his way back to his village. He took an expressionless white mask from a hardware store in Haddonfield. Sometime later, Michael Myers saw a young girl named Laurie Strode drop off a key at the Myers house that her father had been trying to sell.
Although Laurie notices Michael has been stalking her throughout the day and everywhere she went, her friends Annie Brackett and Lynda Van der Klok blatantly dismiss her claims and concerns. Meanwhile, Samuel comes to Haddonfield in his search for Myers. To his surprise, he finds that the tombstone of Michael’s sister Judith is missing.
He then makes his way to the town’s sheriff and Annie’s father, Leigh Brackett, whom he tells that Michael Myers is pure evil and that he must be found with immediate effect. While Brackett hesitantly begins his search for Michael, Samuel Loomis remains at the long-abandoned Myers house and waits for Michael to return. Later that night, Laurie and Annie babysit Tommy and Lindsey, respectively. Evidently, the night of horrors has begun for these teens.
Michael pursues the girls and kills a dog first. Despite the fact that Tommy sees Michael from his window and claims to see a boogeyman, Laurie dismisses Tommy’s accusations as a child’s fantasy. Annie subsequently takes the youngster she was babysitting to the Doyles’ house in order to pick up her lover Paul and have some fun with him.
Michael, on the other hand, wetted her throat with her blood as he slit her throat from the backseat, contrary to what she expected. Later, Lynda and her boyfriend Bob came to the Wallace house only to find it abandoned; they take advantage of the situation in the most heated way possible but Michael pinned Bob to the kitchens wall with a knife and later went after Lynda posing as Bob.
Michael then strangled Lynda with a telephone cord while she was on a call with Laurie, who thought it was a prank that her friend was pulling. Little did she know that Lynda was choking and gasping for breath. Meanwhile, Loomis discovered his car and expedited his search.
Laurie, however, grew concerned about her friend and went to the Wallace house, only to find the corpses of her friends and Judith Myers’ headstone. But Michael attacked her and slashed her arm; in an attempt to escape him, she fell down the stairs and injured herself.
Despite this, she was able to flee the house and make her way to Tommy’s. When Michael follows her, she orders the kids to hide and stabs him with a knitting needle. She relaxed for a while, assuming he was gone, but she had no idea Michael Myers was intended to appear in a sequel.
She then told the kids to hide in the bathroom while she went into the closet in the bedroom. Laurie stabbed Myers in the chest with his own knife when he tried to break in! Laurie, you’re quite courageous! Following this, Laurie instructed the children to flee the house and seek any assistance they could; it appeared that Laurie’s rationality had finally prevailed. Michael awoke from his presumed death and set out to find Laurie.
However, Loomis noticed the kids and went into the house to investigate. Loomis shot Michael six times and knocked him off the second-floor balcony. However, Loomis later discovered that Michael’s body was missing, but he wasn’t shocked to see that.
As if he knew it was coming. Interestingly enough, Laurie and Tommy were watching the 1951 film is The Thing from Another World, and John Carpenter went on to direct the horror masterpiece The Thing starring Kurt Russell in 1982.
Halloween II (1981)
This film picks off where the prior one leaves off. Michael Myers is shot by Dr. Loomis and falls off the balcony, but he manages to flee into the darkness of night. In the previous few hours, he had escaped several attacks and was now roaming through the dark streets. He stumbled across an elderly couple and snatched a kitchen knife from them before murdering a teen girl who was nearby.
Laurie, meantime, had worked hard to avoid Michael’s fury and was being transported to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital for treatment. Loomis and Sheriff Leigh Brackett, on the other hand, resumed their search for Michael.
But he’s a difficult fish to catch. Later, a teenager named Ben Tramer was presumed to be Michael Myers, and he got hit by a cop car. Ben, on whom Laurie had a crush in the first film, burned to death in the accident.
When Sheriff Brackett learns that his daughter Annie got killed in the murder spree, he recused himself from the investigation and left Deputy Gary Hunt to continue the investigation. Since the policemen believed that Michael Myers had been killed in the car crash, he got a chance to work in whatever way he wanted. Sometime later, he learnt from a news broadcast about Laurie’s location and reached the hospital.
Smartly enough, he killed the phone lines and disabled the cars present in the vicinity, ensuring that the people inside are trapped. He then goes on to kill almost all of the scarce staff that was present for the night shift.
Meanwhile, Laurie wondered why Michael chose her as the prime victim but couldn’t come to a conclusion. This was a question that was largely left unanswered in the original film, which seemed to suggest that Michael chose Laurie because he saw her and Tommy’s relationship as similar to his relationship with Judith.
However, in this film Laurie sees dreams in which she remembers visiting a young Michael at the sanitarium. Michael’s parents adopted Laurie after he killed his sister and committed him to the sanitarium, but she is unaware of this. Laurie learns that Michael has infiltrated the hospital and is murdering the workers.
Despite her injuries from earlier that night, she kept pillows on her bed to trick Michael, who mistakenly stabbed the pillows thinking they were her. Meanwhile, Loomis discovers that Michael was linked to the Samhain and the occult, which explains his indestructibility and powers. The governor ordered Loomis to travel to Smith’s Grove, but when he realised Michael was seeking Laurie, he compelled the Marshal escorting him to return to Haddonfield.
Back at the hospital, paramedic Jimmy and nurse Jill Franco were looking for Laurie. Jimmy had knocked himself over by slipping in the pool of blood of another nurse that Michael had slaughtered.
But Jill finally managed to find Laurie, only to be killed by Michael. After a failed attempt to escape with Jimmy, who was briefly conscious, Laurie found herself being chased by Michael. But Loomis, the Marshal, and his colleague arrived at Haddonfield Hospital just in time.
Michael murdered the Marshal, but Loomis and Laurie managed to reach the temporary safety of the operating room. Loomis gave Laurie the Marshal’s gun, but Michael stabbed him. Laurie, on the other hand, blinded Michael by shooting both his eyes! Laurie is an outstanding shooter, and Michael was able to drive a car in the first film despite having no real driving experience.
Michael staggered and brandished his handgun at Laurie, even though he was blind, but Loomis and Laurie supplied the operating room with oxygen. Laurie was able to flee, and Loomis used the gas to immolate himself and Michael. Michael emerged from the room engulfed in flames, but afterwards collapsed. Laurie made it through another ordeal, though she was more traumatised than before.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
First and foremost, there isn’t much to say about Halloween 3 because it feels like the tried and true cliched plot of an evil and diabolic organisation seeking to wreak havoc on a town’s youngsters, and a brave pair figuring out what’s going on! Furthermore, other from taking on the difficult task of removing the famed Michael Myers from the script, the film did not do anything groundbreaking.
While producer Debra Hill promised that the picture will avoid graphic gore, visceral bloodshed, and other gory elements in favour of science fiction and paranoia, this was far from the case.
The film instead relied heavily on absurd kill sequences and deaths. Having said that, if we ignore the plot that is nothing more than an absolutely illogical shamble, the film succeeds in offering a bit of delightful and entertaining pleasures.
But for that, one must sincerely watch the film for the fun of it and not worry about finding sense and sensibilities. It’s a classic case of a film that’s casually insane yet entertaining. Also, the film looks good visually because Dean Cundey was the man behind the lens; he is known for films like Jurassic Park and Apollo 13.
As far as the story is concerned, a man named Harry gets attacked by another man and is rushed to the hospital by a good Samaritan named Walter Jones. At the hospital, Harry is given under the care of Dr. Daniel Challis. However, later that night, Harry gets murdered by another man who had entered Harry’s hospital room.
When Daniel tried to apprehend the murderer, he immolated himself. A few days later, Harry’s daughter Ellie meets Daniel at a bar, and Daniel tells her about the strange sequence of events that had led to Harry’s death. He also showed her a mask that Harry was holding when he was brought to the hospital. Ellie and Daniel trace the mask back to a company called Silver Shamrock Novelties.
Daniel visits the town in which the company was based and learns that Harry stayed at the motel in which he was staying, so did the other who had a business with Silver Shamrock. Soon mysterious men start butchering people in obnoxious ways; for instance, a lady named Marge gets killed by a stone microchip that zapped her face with a laser beam.
However, Shamrock has a sinister plan of killing the townsfolk by giving them masks containing a piece of Stonehenge that’s implanted in the microchip. The microchips were created to murder the person who wore them by causing brain damage.
Furthermore, swarms of snakes and insects would emerge from the bodies of the slain, killing everybody in the vicinity. Daniel, on the other hand, managed to demolish the entire facility, but Ellie later attacks Daniel because she is a robotic clone! But our brave doctor, who did everything but his job, was able to destroy the android clone.
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
For eight years after the events of the first film, Michael Myers remained comatose. Michael learns that he has a niece while being transferred from the Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium to his old home, Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, and wakes up to kill the employees in the ambulance.
Michael pierces one of the staff members’ skulls with his finger and murders him. The ambulance loses control and crashes into a river, where it is towed to Haddonfield. When Loomis learns of Michael’s escape, he gives him a chase and discovers that Michael has killed a mechanic and a female clerk.
Michael managed to flee from the gas station where Loomis had discovered Michael’s latest victims. However, Loomis doesn’t give up and resumed his pursuit once again to Haddonfield. Meanwhile, we learn that Laurie’s daughter Jamie is living with her foster parents Darlene and Richard, and their biological daughter, Rachel.
Jamie knows the legend of Michael Myers, but she is unaware of the fact that he’s the man who haunts her in her nightmares. Later that night, Jamie and Rachel go out where Rachel buys her a clown costume that looked eerily similar to the one Michael had worn when he murdered his sister Judith.
While at a store, Michael appeared there and almost killed Jamie, but her screams alerted Rachel, and he was forced to flee. Later, Rachel escorts Jamie for trick or treating while Michael broke into their house and found Laurie’s pictures in Jamie’s room. He then killed a worker by tossing him at the transformer, effectively ensuring that the entire town got engulfed in darkness.
Meanwhile, Loomis arrived at the town and alerted sheriff Ben Meeker about Michael’s presence in the town. In addition, the residents of the town create a drunken and armed posse to assassinate Michael Myers. Loomis and Sheriff Meeker track down the girls and transport them to Meeker’s home to assure their safety while they await reinforcements from the state police, which Meeker had requested.
Michael, on the other hand, burst into the house and began stacking bodies. Rachel was knocked unconscious when he flung her off the roof. Jamie, on the other hand, managed to flee and ran into Loomis. They try to take refuge at the local school, but Michael reappears and knocks down Loomis, but Jamie escapes his wrath once more.
Just as Michael was about to kill Jamie, Rachel came to the scene and subdued him with a fire extinguisher before escaping. Fortunately for the girls, the armed posse finds them and decides to take them out of town in their truck for safety. However, Michael was hiding underneath the truck, and he killed all the men, including Earl, who was driving the truck.
Rachel then pushed Earl’s body out of the car and drove the truck herself with Michael hanging on top of it. She somehow managed to throw Michael out of the truck and rammed him with the truck.
As the state troopers and the rest of the armed posse arrived at the spot, Jamie went up to an unconscious Michael and touched his hand, upon which he woke up. However, the armed people who had gathered there shot him left, right, and center, sending him down a mine. It’s later revealed that Jamie had killed her mother in the bathroom, hence creating a psychic link between Jamie and Michael.
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween 5 continues from where Halloween 4 left off. Sheriff Ben Meeker, the Haddonfield armed posse, and the state police are shown throwing explosives into the mine to secure Michael’s death, but the disguised serial killer is an impossible target. He snuck into a nearby brook and swam away with the river.
He runs across a local man and tries to assault him, but he collapses before he can do any serious damage. He was in the man’s care for exactly one year, from October 30th, 1989 to October 30th, 1989. When he wakes up, he stabs the man in the chest and returns to Haddonfield to find Jamie, who is now being held at the Haddonfield Children’s Clinic.
The psychological trauma that Jamie experienced not only started to give her horrid nightmares and seizures but also turned her mute. However, she has also developed a telepathic relation with her serial killer uncle, Michael Myers.
When Loomis learns of Jamie’s psychic link with Michael, he tries to use her to get to Michael. He further informs sheriff Meeker that Michael is still alive. Jamie doesn’t just feel what Michael does but can also see the surroundings. The next time this happens is when Jamie sees Michael wander around her foster sister Rachel. Loomis learns about this and calls Rachel.
Although she says that she was safe, Michael was right behind her; he stabs Rachel with a pair of scissors and kills her. Not surprisingly, Jamie feels the convulsions as she experiences pain and suffering. As things proceed, Loomis becomes more hostile towards Jamie and almost forces her to give out information; he starts to believe that Jamie is probably trying to save Michael.
Loomis then goes to the abandoned Myers house. Outside the house, a mysterious man in black arrived who had the same tattoo as was seen on Michael’s hand at the beginning of the film.
Michael goes after Rachel’s friend Tina and her fiance Mike after killing Rachel. He kills Mike and disguises himself as Mike with a mask Tina had given him earlier. The girl kissed Michael because she thought he was Mike. Jamie has largely regained her capacity to communicate, and she goes to warn Tina when she suspects she is in danger.
Tina, on the other hand, is planning to attend a Halloween party with her pals Sam and Spitz. Later, while Sam and Spitz were about to rock each other, Michael kills them both. Tina goes to the cops after discovering their bodies, but they are already dead. Tina escapes from the spot, but Jamie and her friend Billy arrive, and in an attempt to chase Michael, he crashes his car into a tree.
However, this was a minor inconvenience as Michael exited the car unscathed, not even a scratch on his body. Tina sacrifices herself to give time to Jamie and Billy to escape, who are found by Loomis. After this, Jamie finally agrees to help Loomis kill Michael for good. Back at the Myers house, Michael arrives only to meet Loomis, who tried to reason with him, but of course, it went in vain.
As Michael attacked Loomis, Jamie escaped into the attic, which was transformed into a ritualistic altar of sorts. Michael arrived, and just before he was about to stab her to death, she asked to see his face. Michael obliged, and she noted that his face was just like hers, and a tear rolled down Michael’s face.
However, he got further enraged by the sweet gesture and stabbed her, but Loomis came to her rescue, and in a desperate attempt to get to Michael, he used her as bait. The plan worked, and he managed to capture Michael under a net. Loomis shot Michael with several tranquilizer darts, but to ensure he was really dead orat least unconscious, Loomis slammed Michael several times with a wood.
The police arrive and take an unconscious Michael into custody. He was to be later transferred into a maximum-security prison, but the mysterious man in black broke him out of the local police’s custody.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Michael Myers and Jamie were kidnapped by a guy in black and held captive for six years, until Jamie gave birth to a child. The man in black was the leader of a Druid-like cult who kidnapped Jamie’s child, but a nurse returned the infant to Jamie and assisted her escape. Jamie steals a truck, but Michael tracks her down.
Meanwhile, we learn that the Strode family now lives in the old Myers house, and that Loomis has become a recluse hermit who lives in a hut on the outskirts of town. Terence Wynn, an ex-colleague, approaches Loomis and urges him to join the Myers research, but Loomis declines.
They both hear a plea from Jamie on a Haddonfield radio channel, in which she warned about Michael’s return. However, Michael caught up with Jamie and killed her, only to find that her child is not in the truck. Also, Tommy, the child that Laurie Strode once babysat, lives near the Strodesin a boarding house run by Mrs. Blankenship .
Tommy was played by none other than Paul Rudd or Ant-Man in his first big-screen role. As a man, Tommy had become a recluse who was obsessed with finding the truth behind Michael and his motives.
He later finds Jamie’s baby at a bus station and sort of adopts him, naming him Steven. When he bumps into Loomis, he tells the older man about the Strode family, who now live at the Myers house. Meanwhile, Michael arrives at Haddonfield and begins to indulge in his favorite pass time, well, killing people.
Tommy speculates that Michael Myers may have been afflicted with the Thorn, an ancient Druid curse, as a child. A child from each tribe would be chosen to bear the curse, and the child would have to sacrifice a close relative. Furthermore, Tommy claims that Michael’s final sacrifice will be Jamie’s kid Steven.
It was possible that Michael was the father of that child. Michael, on the other hand, goes on to murder a number of individuals. Kara Strode and her son Danny were able to meet Tommy and Loomis, but the members of the Druid cult arrived and kidnapped Kara, Danny, and Steven while drugging Loomis and Tommy.
In a strange turn of events, it is revealed that Mrs. Blankenship was a cult member, and Loomis’s ex-colleague Wynn was the mysterious man in black. The cult takes Danny and Steven to an operating room. However, Tommy arrives and frees Kara, but they get pursued by Michael. But later, Michael attacked Wynn and the team of doctors who were about to perform surgery on the two boys.
Kara and Tommy rescue the boys and run into a lab where Kara discovers several deformed fetusesfrom Wynn’s prior experiments. Tommy then dupes Michael by thinking he was ready to give him the baby Steven, but instead injects him with a caustic green substance. Tommy, Kara, and the kids leave, but Loomis decides to stay to finish out some unfinished business. His cry is afterwards heard, though, leaving his fate undetermined.
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later
Most of the sequels to the original movie were mostly ignored in this 1998 picture, which picked up 20 years after Michael Myers’ first murders. On October 29th, 1998, Michael Myers broke into Loomis’s Langdon, Illinois, home and stole the file of his adoptive sister Laurie, who was assumed killed in a car accident, but not before killing Loomis’s former colleague Marion Chambers and a few children, including baby Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Meanwhile, Laurie resides in Summer Glen, California, where Keri Tate is the headmistress of Hillcrest Academy. In addition, she is dating Will Brennan, the boarding school’s guidance counsellor. Despite changing her identity to save herself from Michael’s wrath, she lives in dread and fear.
As would be expected, Michael steals a car and heads to confront Laurie. Later that night, Laurie reveals to Will who she truly was and her relationship with the infamous Michael Myers. Michael soon arrives at the boarding school, and he and Laurie face each other for the first time in twenty years, although from across a door.
Michael resumes his typical murderous spree. Laurie realized that Michael would never stop coming after her till the time he’s alive and decides to end the menace once and for all. She now gathers the courage to face him herself. She brutally stabs him several times with a knife; he presumably dies and was Laurie is stopped by the security guard Ronny from stabbing him further.
Meanwhile, the authorities arrive at the scene and put Michael into a coroner’s van, but Laurie is well aware that Michael is far from dead. So, she steals the van and drives him away. Later, Michael reawakens and assaults Laurie, but she slams on the brakes, causing him to fly out the windshield.
She then drives off the road and down a steep hill, attempting to ram him with the car. Laurie is able to exit the vehicle, while Michael is trapped between a tree and the vehicle. Michael reaches out to Laurie in a delicate moment of brother-sister affection, and while she appears to be moved by the gesture at first, she eventually decapitates him with an axe.
Halloween: Resurrection
Michael attacked a paramedic who had come to take him to the ambulance, as shown in Resurrection. Michael destroyed the paramedic’s larynx, rendering him speechless. He then changed into the injured paramedic’s clothes and fled. Laurie was charged with murder after killing an innocent man instead of her brother.
She was then committed to a mental institution, where she spent several days dealing with anguish and remorse. Three years later, on Halloween 2001, Michael reappeared and attempted to murder Laurie, who had been held at the Grace Andersen Sanitarium. Laurie had set numerous traps for Michael because she had anticipated his arrival.
Although Michael killed two security guards, the traps that Laurie had set up worked and temporarily incapacitated Michael. However, Laurie didn’t want to kill another innocent person, so in order to be sure that it was Michael, she tried to remove his mask. But this was a grave mistake because Michael stabbed her and threw her off the terrace.
A year later, a few college students participate in a reality show named Dangertainment, in which they were supposed to spend a night at the Myers house and determine what made Michael commit the murders that he did. Unbeknownst to them, Michael had already arrived at Haddonfield and killed the cameraman named Charlie.
Later, he kills one of the contestants named Bill. Donna and Jim realize that the show was set up to stage murders and earn money. The contestants would be paid, but the Myers house was going to become ground zero of a massive massacre because Michael would leave no stone unturned to ensure that no one remains alive.
They soon understand that, despite the fact that the play was initially manufactured, the killings were real. Michael continues to murder a number of contestants. Michael probably dies in a burning garage after much ado and effort, but as the coroner prepares to inspect his body, Michael is resurrected.
Halloween (2007)
Halloween, directed by Rob Zombie in 2007, was a complete remake of John Carpenter’s horror classic. He attempted to make the film both a remake and a Michael Myers origin story. Michael Myers, at eleven years old, had showed psychotic tendencies before murdering a school bully, his sister Judith, and two others on Halloween night, sparing only his infant sister Laurie.
Michael is found guilty after a lengthy trial and is transferred to the Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, where he is cared for by Dr. Samuel Loomis. Michael transforms from a cooperative youngster to a dissociative one over the course of a year, eventually killing a nurse.
His mother, Deborah, fails to bear this violent behavior of her son and commits suicide. After her mother’s suicide, Laurie was adopted by the Strodes. He starts making masks and remains like a recluse in the sanitarium for the next 15 years until he escapes from there, killing the security and staff on his way out.
He then kills a trucker to get his clothes and returns to his now-abandoned house, where he retrieves his knife and mask from the night that he had killed his elder sister.
In Haddonfield, Michael resumes his killing spree and manages to kidnap Laurie. He brings her to their old house, where he shows her a photo of himself with his mother and Laurie, attempting to convince her that she is his sister. Laurie, on the other hand, is perplexed and stabs him before running.
Michael pursues her, but Loomis arrives just in time and fires three shots at Michael. However, he recovers and re-captures Laurie. They both fall down the railing and land on the ground during the ensuing scuffle. Laurie awakens to find Michael unconscious, and she discharges the revolver while Michael holds her hand.
Halloween II (2009)
Laurie is apprehended by Sheriff Brackett and transported to the hospital after allegedly killing her brother. Annie Brackett and Loomis were later discovered injured and transported to the hospital. The ambulance in which Michael was being taken, on the other hand, is involved in an accident, and Michael flees, killing a paramedic in the process.
Laurie moves in with the Brracketts two years later, but is haunted by the ghosts of Halloweens past. Laurie struggles with her trauma, Loomis writes a book on the events, but Michael, who was wrongfully assumed dead, is haunted by the spirit of her mother and images of his younger self.
Both of them want that he reunite with his sister. Naturally, he heads back to Haddonfield. Later, Laurie learns from Loomis’s book that she really was Michael’s sister, Angel Myers. To escape the sense of trauma and paranoia, she goes to a Halloween party with her friends Harley and Mya.
Michael kills Harley and goes on to fatally wound Annie, who later dies in Laurie’s arms. Michael then kills Mya and abducts Laurie to take her to an abandoned shed. Once Laurie wakes up from her unconsciousness, she sees the ghost of her mother. However, Brackett and other cops surround the house.
When Loomis goes inside to reason with Michael, he gets stabbed and killed. But Brackett shoots Michael down. Later, Laurie wakes up from her hallucinations and stabs Michael with his own knife, and comes out of the shed donning his mask. Naturally, she has become what Michael used to be and is ultimately put into a psychiatric asylum.
Halloween (2018)
The film is a direct sequel to the original, as well as a retcon of the preceding instalments. Michael was being transported from Smith’s Grove to a maximum-security prison forty years after his first murder. However, on the day of his transfer, Michael crashes the bus on which he was being transported, steals a car, and drives to Haddonfield after killing a father-son combo.
Two true crime podcasters, Dana Haines and AaronKorey, have been following the tale closely. They also paid him a visit at the hospital and showed him the mask he used to conduct his first murder, but it seemed to have little effect on him. In her hometown, Laurie Strode still lived in Michael’s fear. She drank heavily for these forty years, which was why her daughter Karen was taken away from her by the state when Karen was 12.
However, she was in touch with her granddaughter, Allyson. On the morning of Halloween, Michael stalked Dana and Aaron as they visited the grave of his sister Judith. He then followed the two of them to a gas station and murdered them along with a mechanic for his coveralls.
He then retrieved his old mask from Aaron’s car. As the news of Michael’s escape spread, Deputy Frank Hawkins, the one who first arrested Michael, urged the current Sheriff Barker to pay heed to the danger that Michael poses to the town. Meanwhile, Laurie freaks out because of the development and warns Karen against Michael, but Karen doesn’t seem to take the threat seriously.
Later that night, Allyson found her boyfriend cheating on her, and was left heartbroken; she left with his friend Oscarinstead. Laurie arrived to save Allyson as Michael wrecked havoc on Haddonfield, and for the first time since the events of the first film, Laurie faced Michael. Dr. Ranbir Sartain, who fought Hawkins as he was ready to kill Michael, becomes Michael’s ally in this film.
Furthermore, it was Ranbir who engineered Michael’s escape in order to study him while he was still alive. But, as fate would have it, Michael was the one who killed Ranbir. Meanwhile, Laurie and Karen travel to Laurie’s house to meet Allyson, but Michael arrives. Laurie’s son-in-law is killed by Michael, but Laurie is quick enough to send Karen to safety before confronting Michael.
In the end, Laurie, Allyson, and Karen manage to trap Michael in the house before setting it ablaze. They presumed that he died, but unfortunately for them, they didn’t see the post-credits scene in which Michael’s breathing was heard, indicating that he survived.
Future of the Franchise
The upcoming 2021 film Halloween Kills, directed by David Gordon Green, will serve as a direct sequel to the 2018 film Halloween, in which Michael Myers was left to die in a burning cellar. Firefighters unintentionally released Myers from his death trap, according to the trailer.
James Jude Courtney would play the knife-wielding serial killer, while Jamie Lee Curtis would reprise her role as Laurie Strode. In addition, Nick Castle, who played Michael Myers in John Carpenter’s original, will make a cameo appearance in the future film.
After Halloween Kills, we will hopefully get to enjoy Michael Myers one last time in Halloween Ends, which is supposed to be the last film of the franchise and would put an end to Michael Myers’ wrath and Laurie Strode’s trauma. Executive producer John Carpenter and the rest of the team have promised a thrill ride for this one, and it is rumored that Halloween Kills will have the highest kill count of the franchise.
Will the Strode women and a vigilante mob manage to stop this killing express that’s Michael Myers? We’ll find out soon when the film premiers On September 8th, 2021, at the Venice International Film Festival on September 8th. Its worldwide release, however, is slated for October 15th, 2021.
