HALLOWEEN (1998)

On Halloween night in 1983, Michael Myers, aged 6, murders his older sister Judith with a chef's knife in their home in Lakewood, Ohio. Michael is subsequently sent to Smith's Grove Sanitarium under the care of Dr. Samuel Loomis. Fifteen years later, on October 30th, 1998, Michael, now 21, manages to escape, stealing a car in the process. Michael returns to Lakewood, killing a mechanic for some coveralls, as well as donning a pale white mask and stealing some knives from a hardware store.

Meanwhile, Dean Ambrose and his friend Renee Young are walking to school. They stop to take a look at Michael's now-abandoned home, unaware of Michael's presence inside. Throughout the day, Michael begins stalking Ambrose, to which he notices, only believing it to be some sort of Halloween prank. Shortly after, Loomis arrives in Lakewood, meeting Deputy Frank Hawkins. They arrive at Michael's abandoned home, where Loomis warns the deputy about the danger that has come to Lakewood. Hawkins leaves to patrol the streets, while Loomis remains, expecting Michael to return home eventually.

The following night, on Halloween, Ambrose invites some friends over, occasionally handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Michael, having killed a young couple next door, sneaks in, watching as the group plays a game of truth or dare. During the game, Young's feelings for Ambrose are revealed, causing the pair to leave the game. Curt Hawkins, the deputy's son, and his girlfriend Chelsea Green are left behind. Hawkins goes into the kitchen, being attacked and killed by Michael, who pins him to the pantry door. Michael approaches Green, who mistakes him for Hawkins in costume. Michael strangles Green before slitting her throat, killing her.

Unaware of the carnage that has taken place, Ambrose reveals his feelings for Young, as they share a kiss, beginning a relationship. Assuming that Hawkins and Green left early, they sit down on the couch to watch some movies. Ambrose goes into the kitchen, discovering the bodies of Hawkins and Green in the pantry. Ambrose spots Michael on the verge of attacking Young, smashing a chair over the former's back, which stuns him long enough to allow Young to flee. Michael overpowers Ambrose, severely wounding him in the process.

Young retreats to an upstairs bedroom, hiding in a closet. Michael eventually finds her, smashing through the wooden sliding doors of the closet. During the struggle, Michael drops his knife, allowing Young to stab him twice in the abdomen. Young finds an injured Ambrose, who pleads for her to leave, wanting to protect her. Young reluctantly agrees, tearfully kissing Ambrose goodbye.

Ambrose goes to confront Michael, finding him still incapacitated. Relieved, Ambrose takes a moment to catch his breath, unaware of Michael rising from behind him. Loomis spots a bloodied Young fleeing from Ambrose's house, going to investigate. Finding Michael and Ambrose fighting upstairs, Loomis shoots Michael six times in the chest, knocking him off of a nearby balcony. Loomis goes to check on Michael, finding him missing. Completely unsurprised, Loomis stares off into the night, as paramedics arrive to tend to Ambrose.

HALLOWEEN KILLS (2018)

Twenty years after his initial rampage, Michael Myers, who was captured shortly after being shot by Loomis, is being prepared for transfer to a new facility. Adam Cole and Dana Brooke, a pair of true-crime podcasters, arrive at Smith's Grove Sanitarium to possibly interview Michael. They meet Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Ranbir Sartain, Loomis' replacement following the latter's retirement. Sartain informs the pair that Michael can indeed speak, but he just chooses not to. Cole brings out the mask that Michael wore in 1998, hoping to get a reaction out of him, ultimately failing.

Meanwhile, Dean Ambrose and Renee Young, the sole survivors of Michael's rampage twenty years prior, are now married, with a 16-year old son named Johnathan. They have been living mostly in isolation, preparing for Michael's potential return through extensive combat training. Ambrose and Young's paranoia has created a rather strained relationship with their son Johnathan, who blames them for taking away his childhood, believing Michael to be only a legend, a myth even.

That same night, Michael's transfer goes awry, allowing him to escape. Michael kills a nearby father and son for their car, returning to Lakewood. The following day, on Halloween, Michael spots Cole and Brooke visiting his sister's grave, following them to a gas station. Michael kills a mechanic for some new coveralls, as well as killing both Cole and Brooke, recovering his mask in the process.

Meanwhile, Loomis, having been retired since Michael's apprehension in 1998, as well as Ambrose and Young, learn of Michael's return through a newscast on TV. Deputy Frank Hawkins, the one responsible for apprehending Michael twenty years prior, arrives at the gas station, discovering the crime scene. Sartain, who was injured in the crash, eventually joins Hawkins in their pursuit of Michael.

Johnathan, desperate for some time away, sneaks out of the house to attend a school-sponsored Halloween dance with his best friend Buddy Murphy. As it is now Halloween night, Michael begins roaming the streets of Lakewood, killing two residents inside their homes, as well as a nearby babysitter and her boyfriend. As news of Michael's return continues to reach the press, everyone is ordered to stay inside, locking doors and windows. The dance is evacuated as well. With Johnathan and Buddy now roaming the streets, they decide to take a short cut home. Johnathan is successful, leaving Buddy behind temporarily. Michael appears, impaling Buddy with the help of a fence, killing him. Johnathan returns to help his friend, coming face to face with Michael for the very first time. Johnathan retreats, finding refuge in a nearby resident's house.

After picking up Johnathan, Hawkins and Sartain spot Michael walking down the street, running him down. Loomis, having been nearby patrolling the streets, watches as Sartain betrays Hawkins, stabbing him twice with Michael's knife, killing him. Loomis shoots Sartain from a distance, just barely grazing the latter's neck. Sartain retreats with Johnathan still in the car with Michael now inside. Loomis arrives at Ambrose and Young's house to inform them of Sartain's treachery. Michael awakens, killing Sartain, allowing Johnathan to escape, retreating into the woods nearby. Michael kills two police officers nearby as well.

Michael arrives at Ambrose and Young's house, nearly killing Ambrose through the windows of the front door. Ambrose severs two of Michael's fingers by using his shotgun. Michael eventually enters the house, with Ambrose and Young hiding in their secret bunker. Michael encounters Loomis, who had been waiting for him in an upstairs storage room. Loomis shoots Michael twice, just barely missing. Michael ultimately overpowers Loomis, stabbing him three times in the abdomen, killing him.

Ambrose, wanting to finish what was started twenty years prior, exits the bunker, wanting to confront Michael. Michael attacks Ambrose upstairs, throwing the latter off of his own balcony. Johnathan arrives, distracting Michael long enough, as when the latter turns around, Ambrose is missing. Young brings Johnathan into the bunker, arming herself with a shotgun. Michael eventually exposes the entrance to the bunker, being shot in the shoulder by Young. Ambrose appears as the trio is able to trap Michael inside the bunker. Ambrose sets the bunker, as well as the entire house ablaze. The trio leaves, getting picked up in the back of a passing pick-up truck. A final shot of the burning basement is shown, with Michael nowhere to be seen, indicating that he escaped.
