HALLOWEEN (1998)

On Halloween night in 1983, a six-year-old Michael Myers would brutally murder his older sister Judith with a large knife in their Haddonfield, Illinois home. He would subsequently 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 other inmates roaming around the yard. Concerned, Loomis exits the car, allowing Michael to ambush Marion before stealing their car and driving away into the night. The following morning on Halloween, Michael kills a mechanic for some overalls on his way back to Haddonfield, where he also steals some rope, some knives, and a Halloween mask from various local stores upon arriving.

Meanwhile, a 17-year-old Tony Quinn walks to school with a child he'll be babysitting that night Tommy Doyle. 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. Loomis soon arrives in Haddonfield in search of Michael, meeting Deputy Frank Hawkins, who dismisses his concerns but agrees to help him nonetheless. Michael begins stalking Tony throughout the day, who notices, only believing it to be some kind of Halloween joke. He goes about his day with his friends Curtis Hawkins, the son of the deputy, and Allen Jones.

On Halloween night, Loomis and Hawkins arrive at Michael's home, where Loomis continues to warn Hawkins 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 to babysit Tommy while his friend Curtis babysits a young girl named Lindsey Wallace just across the street, unaware that Michael has followed them. Tommy spots Michael across the street standing outside of Lindsey's house, claiming to have seen "the boogeyman," Tony dismisses his concerns. Curtis eventually takes Lindsey over to Tommy's house so that he can go pick up his girlfriend Olivia, only to be ambushed by Michael, who was hiding in the backseat of his car. Michael proceeds to strangle Curtis before slitting his throat and killing him. Tommy spots Michael carrying Curtis' body back into Lindsey's house, with Tony again dismissing it as nothing.

Allen and his girlfriend Wendy soon arrive at Lindsey's house, only to find both Curtis and Lindsey missing and the house empty. After having sex in an upstairs bedroom, Allen goes downstairs to grab a drink for Wendy, only to be ambushed by Michael, who pins 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 teases Michael, to no avail. Growing frustrated, Wendy 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 goes across the street to Lindsey's house, finding the side door wide open. After going upstairs, Tony discovers his friend's bodies in a nearby bedroom, cowering in a nearby corner in horror. Michael suddenly appears out of the darkness, slashing Tony's arm, and causing him to fall over the stairway banister. Tony manages to narrowly escape the house, rushing back to Tommy's house. Upon reaching the front door, he realizes that he dropped the keys after falling over the banister. Tommy wakes up and opens the door just in time, being ordered by Tony to wake up 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. Tony goes upstairs to check on the kids, who begin to cry in terror after seeing Michael still alive. The kids lock themselves inside of a nearby bathroom, while Tony hides in a bedroom closet. Michael finds him, smashing through the closet doors. In the ensuing struggle, Michael drops his knife, allowing Tony to stab him in the chest, seemingly killing Michael once again.

Tony gets the kids and tells them to run over to a neighbor's house to 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 the former in the chest six times, causing him to fall out of a second-story window over a balcony. Loomis goes to investigate Michael's body, only to find him missing. Completely unsurprised, Loomis stares into the night, as breathing can be heard over a montage of previous locations, indicating that Michael could be anywhere.
