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 Chicago, Illinois. 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 Chicago, 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 Chicago, meeting Deputy Frank Hawkins. They arrive at Michael's abandoned home, where Loomis warns the deputy about the danger that has come to Chicago. 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 the 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 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, who blames them for taking his life away, believing Michael to be only a legend of sorts, 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 Chicago. The following morning, 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.

Loomis, having retired following 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 Chicago, killing two residents inside their homes, as well as a 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. Now roaming the streets, Johnathan and Buddy decide to take a short cut. Johnathan is successful in getting over the fence, leaving Buddy behind temporarily. Michael appears, impaling Buddy on the top of the fence, killing him. Johnathan returns to help out 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, who was patrolling the streets, watches as Sartain betrays Hawkins, stabbing him in the neck with a pocket knife, killing him. Loomis shoots Sartain from a distance, just barely missing. Sartain retreats, with Johnathan still inside the car with an unconscious Michael now inside. Loomis arrives at Ambrose and Young's house to inform them of Sartain's treachery. Michael awakens, killing Sartain, which allows Johnathan to escape, fleeing into the woods. 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 using his shotgun. Ambrose and Young retreat to their secret bunker downstairs, as Michael ultimately enters the house. Michael encounters Loomis in an upstairs storage room, as Loomis had been waiting there for him. Loomis shoots Michael twice in the back, before ultimately being overpowered by Michael, who stabs him three times in the abdomen, killing him.

Ambrose, wanting to finish what was started twenty years prior, exits the basement to confront Michael. Michael attacks Ambrose, throwing him off of his own balcony. Johnathan finally arrives, distracting Michael long enough, as when Michael turns around, Ambrose is missing. Young brings Johnathan into the basement, as Michael ultimately finds and destroys the secret entrance, exposing them. Ambrose appears, attacking Michael. The trio is able to trap Michael inside the bunker, setting it, as well as the entire house ablaze. The trio leaves the house, 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.
