HALLOWEEN (1998)

On Halloween night in 1983, a six-year-old Michael Myers murders his older brother Jackson with a large knife in their Lakewood, Ohio home. He would be sent to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, with Dr. Samuel Loomis being assigned to his case. Fifteen years later on October 30, 1998, Loomis and his colleague Marion Chambers would arrive at the sanitarium to escort Michael to a hearing, only to see all of the inmates roaming the yard outside. Concerned, Loomis exits the car to investigate as Michael ambushes Marion before stealing their car, driving away into the night. On his way back to Lakewood, he would murder a mechanic for some coveralls. Upon arriving in Lakewood, he would steal some knives, some rope, and a Halloween mask from various local stores.

On the morning of Halloween, Tony Quinn meets up with a child he will be babysitting that night Tommy Doyle on his way to school. Along the way, he leaves a key at Michael's abandoned childhood home as his father is trying to sell the property, unaware of Michael's presence inside the house. Meanwhile, Loomis arrives in Lakewood in search of Michael, meeting Deputy Frank Hawkins, who dismisses Loomis' concerns but agrees to help him out nonetheless. Throughout the day, Michael stalks Tony, who notices, only believing it to be some kind of Halloween prank. His friends Curtis Hawkins, the son of the deputy, and Allen Jones also dismiss it as a prank.

After nightfall, Loomis and Hawkins arrive at Michael's home, where Loomis continues to warn the deputy of the impending danger that is coming. Hawkins eventually leaves to patrol the area, while Loomis remains at the house, expecting Michael to eventually return. Meanwhile, Tony arrives at Tommy's house to babysit him, while his friend Curtis babysits a young girl named Lindsey Wallace just across the street, unaware that Michael has followed them. Tommy spots Michael from across the street standing in front of Lindsey's house, claiming to have seen the "boogeyman," Tony dismisses his concerns. Michael watches Curtis from outside, killing the family dog as well. Curtis eventually brings Lindsey over to Tommy's house so that he can go pick up his girlfriend Olivia. Michael, having hidden in the backseat, strangles Curtis before slitting his throat, and killing him. Tommy soon spots Michael carrying Curtis' body back into the house, again having Tony dismiss it as nothing.

Allen and his girlfriend Wendy soon arrive at Lindsey's house, finding Curtis and Lindsey missing and the house empty. After having sex in an upstairs bedroom, Allen goes downstairs to grab a drink for Wendy, finding the side door wide open. Michael appears and attacks Allen, pinning him up against the wall with a stab to the chest, killing him. Michael then goes upstairs to confront Wendy, masquerading as Allen in a ghost costume. Wendy begins teasing him, to no avail. Growing frustrated, she calls Tony to ask where Curtis and Lindsey went as Michael slowly approaches from behind. Michael proceeds to strangle Wendy to death with the telephone wire just as Tony picks up, believing it to be some kind of joke. Meanwhile, Loomis spots the stolen car parked nearby and begins combing the streets upon realizing that Michael is near.

Curious, Tony puts the kids to bed and makes his way across the street to Lindsey's house. Upon finding the side door wide open, he makes his way upstairs, finding his friend's bodies in one of the bedrooms. Horrified, he backs away into a corner where Michael suddenly appears and slashes his arm, causing him to fall over the stairway banister. Tony manages to narrowly escape the house, racing back to Tommy's house to call the police. Upon reaching the front door, he realizes he dropped the keys after falling over the banister. Tommy wakes up and opens the door just in time, being ordered by Tony to get Lindsey and hide. Michael sneaks in through an open window, attacking once again. Tony seemingly kills Michael after stabbing him in the neck with a knitting needle. He goes to check on the kids, only to find Michael still pursuing him. The kids lock themselves in the bathroom while Tony hides in a bedroom closet. Michael finds him and begins smashing through the door. In the ensuing struggle, Michael drops his knife, allowing Tony to stab him in the chest, seemingly killing him once again. Tony orders the kids to run next door and call the police, unaware that Michael has recovered. Loomis spots the kids running out of the house screaming, going to investigate. He finds Michael and Tony fighting upstairs, where he shoots Michael in the chest six times, causing him to fall out of a second-story window over a balcony. Loomis goes to investigate the body, finding it missing. Unsurprised, Loomis stares into the night, as breathing can be heard in a montage of previous locations, indicating that Michael could be anywhere.

HALLOWEEN: PART TWO (2018)

On October 28, 2018, Michael Myers, who's been incarcerated at Smith's Grove Sanitarium for the past twenty years after being captured by Deputy Frank Hawkins shortly after being shot by Loomis and falling out of a window, is being prepared for transfer to a maximum security prison. Aaron Corey and Dana Haines, two true-crime podcasters, arrive at the sanitarium to potentially speak with Michael. They are greeted by Dr. Ranbir Sartain, Michael's new doctor and a former pupil of Loomis before his death of natural causes. Sartain brings them to Michael, surrounded by various other inmates, who begin to become unstable after Aaron brings out the mask that Michael wore in 1998, hoping to get a reaction out of him, ultimately failing.

The following day, they visit the heavily fortified home of a now 38-year-old Tony Quinn, who's been living in isolation since 1998 and has been training and preparing for Michael's inevitable return. It is revealed through Aaron and Dana that Tony has been divorced and has a strained relationship with his ex-wife and their son Axel, who is now 17 years old. They ask Tony to come and meet Michael, hoping to get Michael to speak, but Tony refuses, sending them on their way. The following day, Tony gives Axel the $3,000 that Aaron and Dana gave him for the interview, telling him to do something fun with the money. Axel proceeds to urge his father to finally move on with his life, wanting to have a proper relationship with his father.

Later that day, Michael's bus crashes, allowing him to escape, killing a father and son for their truck, and driving back to Lakewood. Hawkins arrives on the scene, coming across a wounded but alive Sartain, who warns of Michael's escape. The following morning on Halloween, Michael follows Aaron and Dana to a nearby gas station, brutally murdering them both as well as a mechanic for some new overalls and the cashier before recovering his old mask from Aaron's trunk. At Lakewood High School, Axel is preparing for a Halloween party later that night with his girlfriend Alexis Kaufman and his best friend Oscar Jacobs. Tony learns of Michael's escape through a TV newscast, going to warn his ex-wife Karen, who dismisses his concerns and pleads for him to move on with his life. Hawkins comes across the bodies at the gas station, urging his partner Barker to take this matter seriously before spotting Tony among other spectators.

On Halloween night, Michael roams the streets, going from house to house murdering unsuspecting victims before making his way to the home of a young boy named Julian, who's being babysat by Alexis' best friend Vicky and her boyfriend Dave. Vicky is attacked and subsequently murdered by Michael in Julian's bedroom, sacrificing herself to allow Julian to escape. Michael then murders Dave after he tries to avenge his girlfriend's death. At the Halloween party, Axel spots his girlfriend Alexis drunk and cheating on him with another guy, leaving him heartbroken alongside Oscar. After coming across the bodies of Vicky and Dave, Hawkins reunites with Tony and arrives at Karen's house to escort her and Axel back to Tony's house for protection. While walking back from the dance, Oscar is ambushed and brutally murdered by Michael, completely horrifying Axel, who retreats to a nearby home, where he is comforted by the residents.

Hawkins and a now conscious Sartain arrive to pick up Axel, who warns of Michael's return. They spot Michael on the way to Tony's house, with Hawkins running him over at full speed, seemingly killing him. Sartain then betrays Hawkins by stabbing him in the neck with a pen and leaving him for dead in the middle of the road. Sartain reveals to Axel that he orchestrated Michael's escape to study him "in the wild." Axel convinces Sartain to let him go after lying and saying that Michael spoke to him. Michael awakens and brutally murders Sartain by crushing his skull with a foot stomp. Axel proceeds to run away into the woods while Michael murders two police officers who were patrolling the area. Karen's new husband Jay goes outside to greet who he believes is the police officers, only to be attacked and killed by Michael. Michael proceeds to break through the door, attempting to strangle Tony, who proceeds to sever two of Michael's fingers with a gunshot. Tony then goes into the basement safe room and apologizes to Karen for how he acted during their marriage, ultimately reconciling.

Tony decides to search for Michael throughout the house, locking various areas after clearing them. Michael then ambushes Tony in an upstairs room, stabbing him in the abdomen before throwing him over a nearby balcony. Axel arrives at the house, distracting Michael for a split second. When Michael looks over the balcony, he finds Tony missing, similar to his disappearance in 1998 after being shot by Loomis. Axel makes his way into the basement, as Michael begins to break the kitchen island that acts as the entrance to the basement. Karen arms herself but can't bring herself to shoot after Michael breaks the kitchen island. It is revealed to be a ruse as Karen shoots Michael in the jaw once he comes into view. Tony reappears and attacks Michael from behind, knocking him down the stairs into the basement. After a brief struggle, they manage to trap Michael inside the basement, ultimately setting the basement and the house ablaze with Michael inside. Karen and Axel take an injured Tony and hitch-hike a passerby vehicle, being taken to the hospital. A shot of the burning basement is shown with Michael nowhere to be seen. Following the ending credits, breathing can be heard in the background, indicating that Michael survived the fire.

HALLOWEEN KILLS (2020)

In a flashback to 1998, Hawkins accidentally shoots his partner dead after trying to save him from being killed by Michael Myers. Michael retreats, only to be surrounded by the entire police force, as well as Loomis.

In the present day, an adult Tommy Doyle meets up with Lindsey Wallace, Marion Chambers, and Lonnie Kaufman, the father of Axel's ex-girlfriend Alexis, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Michael's imprisonment, dedicating a toast to Tony Quinn, who is inside of a truck alongside his ex-wife Karen and his son Axel, being driven to the hospital after setting his house on fire in an attempt to kill Michael for good. Various fire trucks pass by, soon arriving at the house to extinguish the fire, allowing Michael to escape, where he brutally murders the entire force with their own equipment before making his way back to Lakewood.

It is revealed that Hawkins is still alive, being discovered by a passing Alexis, who calls for an ambulance to take Hawkins to the hospital as well as calling her father. Tony and company arrive at the hospital, which is heavily crowded with concerned parents and citizens looking for their kids or friends. An emergency alert is given out to the Lakewood community, revealing Michael's return to Tommy and company. Two other bar patrons Vanessa and her husband Marcus claim to spot Michael inside of their car, as Tommy grabs a baseball bat and goes to investigate. The car drives away and crashes into a nearby fence, as the driver is revealed to not be Michael, but instead another inmate who escaped named Lance. Alexis reconciles with Axel at the hospital, where he agrees to join Alexis and her father in their hunt for Michael. Tommy proceeds to rally up various members of the community, forming a mob of Lakewood residents looking to kill Michael for good.

Michael proceeds to brutally murder a couple living near Tony, eventually making his way to a local park where he brutally murders Marion, Marcus, and Vanessa inside of their truck while Lindsey manages to escape into the nearby woods. Karen reunites with Hawkins after he is put in the same hospital room as Tony, where she decides to lie to both Hawkins and Tony, telling them that Michael was in fact killed, wanting them to recover from their injuries instead of worrying about Michael. Tommy, Lonnie, Alexis, and Axel come across their friend's bodies at the park, deducing that Michael is going back to his childhood home, based on the locations of his recent victims. Michael sneaks into his childhood home, brutally murdering the current owners of the home in his brother Jackson's old bedroom, before staring out of the bedroom window.

Tommy arrives at the hospital and reveals Michael's survival to Tony and Hawkins. Tony struggles out of bed, hoping to confront Michael, only to have his recently applied stitches ripped open again during a struggle with a mob member, as the hospital has gone into a frenzy. Tommy rallies the mob as Lance arrives at the hospital looking for help, only to be mistaken for Michael. Karen attempts to comfort Lance and also tries to prevent the mob from reaching him. Completely scared, Lance jumps out of a window, falling to his death below, horrifying Karen and Tommy, and the rest of the mob. Lonnie, Alexis, and Axel arrive at Michael's house, where they await the rest of the mob. Growing impatient since the mob is currently still at the hospital, Loonie goes into the house to confront Michael, only to be brutally murdered. Upon hearing the commotion, Alexis and Axel rush into the house, where Alexis is ambushed by Michael, landing a few stabs to the abdomen. Axel manages to stab Michael a few times, only to be overpowered and thrown down the stairs where he breaks his leg. Michael proceeds to brutally murder Alexis right in front of Axel. During a struggle, Axel is saved by Karen, who stabs Michael in the back with a pitchfork. Karen steals his mask, taunting him to follow her. She leads him into a trap, where Michael is surrounded by the mob, including Tommy. They proceed to brutally beat Michael, with Karen finishing it with a stab to the back, seemingly killing him. As Karen consoles Axel in front of Michael's house, Michael recovers and massacres the entire mob, including Tommy. As Axel is tended to by paramedics, Karen goes into Michael's house to investigate further, only to be ambushed and killed by Michael, who then stares out of his brother's old window, as Tony stares out of his hospital room window.
