HALLOWEEN (1998)

On Halloween night in 1983, six-year-old Michael Myers would murder his older sister Judith in their home in Haddonfield, Illinois. 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 a 21-year-old Michael to a court hearing. They arrive only to discover all of the other inmates roaming around the yard. Concerned, Loomis exits the car to investigate, allowing Michael to attack Marion, who retreats as Michael steals the car and drives away into the night. The following morning, Michael kills a mechanic for some overalls and steals some rope, some knives, and a Halloween mask from various local stores upon returning to Haddonfield.

On the morning of Halloween, 17-year-old high school senior Anthony Cunningham meets up with a young boy named Tommy Doyle whom he'll be babysitting that night. Anthony leaves a key at Michael's abandoned childhood home as his father is trying to sell the property, unaware of Michael's presence inside. Throughout the day, Michael begins stalking Anthony, who notices, only believing it to be some kind of Halloween joke. Loomis soon arrives in Haddonfield in pursuit of Michael, meeting Deputy Frank Hawkins, whose son Malcolm is friends with Anthony. As nightfall emerges, Loomis and Hawkins arrive at Michael's house, where Loomis continues to warn the deputy about the impending danger. Hawkins is skeptical but agrees to help anyways. Hawkins leaves to patrol the area while Loomis remains at the house, expecting Michael to eventually return.

Anthony arrives at Tommy's to babysit him while Malcolm babysits a young girl named Lindsey Wallace just across the street, unaware that Michael has followed them. Michael begins watching Malcolm, even killing the Wallace family dog. Malcolm eventually takes Lindsey over to Tommy's house so that he can go and pick up his girlfriend Annie. After entering his car, he is attacked by Michael, who was hiding in the backseat. Michael proceeds to strangle Malcolm before slitting his throat and killing him. While playing a trick on Lindsey, Tommy sees Michael carrying Malcolm's body back into the house across the street and begins to freak out after claiming to have seen "the boogeyman," something that Anthony dismisses as nothing. Meanwhile, Loomis scares away some kids attempting to enter Michael's house.

Anthony and Malcolm's friend Ben Tramer would soon arrive at Lindsey's house with his girlfriend Lynda, finding the house empty. After having sex in an upstairs bedroom, Ben goes downstairs to grab a drink for Lynda. Michael suddenly appears and attacks Ben, killing him after pinning him to the wall with a stab to the chest. Michael then masquerades as Ben in a ghost costume and confronts Lynda upstairs, who teases him to no avail. Growing frustrated, Lynda calls Anthony to ask about Malcolm as Michael slowly begins to approach from behind. Michael proceeds to strangle Lynda to death with the telephone wire just as Anthony picks up the phone, believing it to be a joke.

Curious, Anthony puts the kids to bed and goes across the street to investigate, finding the side door wide open and the house appearing to be empty. Anthony soon discovers his friend's bodies upstairs, as well as the tombstone of Judith Myers, which Michael had stolen from the cemetery earlier that day. Michael suddenly appears out of the darkness and slashes Anthony's arm, causing him to fall down the stairs. Anthony manages to narrowly escape the house, rushing back to Tommy's house where he realizes that he lost the keys after falling down the stairs. Anthony manages to wake Tommy up, who unlocks and opens the door just in time. Anthony orders Tommy to go and get Lindsey so they can hide, soon discovering an open window. Michael appears again, only to be stabbed in the neck by a knitting needle, seemingly killing him. Anthony goes to check on the kids, only to discover Michael still alive and in pursuit. The kids lock themselves in the bathroom while Anthony hides in a bedroom closet. Michael finds him, smashing through the wooden closet door. In the ensuing struggle, Michael drops his knife, allowing Anthony to stab him in the chest, seemingly killing Michael once again.

Anthony tells the kids to go over to a neighbor's house and call the police, unaware that Michael has recovered. Loomis sees the kids running out of the house screaming and goes inside to investigate, finding Anthony and Michael fighting upstairs. Loomis shoots Michael six times in the chest, causing him to fall out of a second-story window to the ground below. Upon realizing that Michael's body is missing, Loomis stares out the window unsurprised as Anthony lies injured on the floor. A montage of previous locations is shown with Michael's breathing being heard, indicating that he could be anywhere.

HALLOWEEN RETURNS (2018)

On October 29, 2018, infamous serial killer Michael Myers, who's been institutionalized at Smith's Grove Psychiatric Hospital for the past twenty years following his killing spree in Haddonfield, Illinois, is being prepared for transfer to a maximum security prison. True-crime podcasters Aaron and Dana soon arrive at the hospital to potentially interview Michael. They meet Dr. Ranbir Sartain, Michael's new doctor who was a pupil of Dr. Samuel Loomis before his death of natural causes. Sartain brings them to Michael, surrounded by other patients. Aaron brings out the mask that Michael wore in 1998, hoping to get a reaction out of him, ultimately failing as the other patients begin to grow hostile and anxious.

That same day, they arrive at the heavily fortified house of Anthony Cunningham, the sole survivor of Michael's killing spree. Anthony has been living in isolation ever since 1998, training and preparing for Michael's potential return. Through Aaron, we learn that Anthony has been divorced and has a strained relationship with his ex-wife Olivia. Their 17-year-old son Billy tries to have a normal relationship with his father but still urges him to move on with his life. Aaron and Dana invite Anthony to come and meet Michael, causing Anthony to kick them out, giving Billy the $3,000 payment that Aaron and Dana gave him for the interview.

Billy grows frustrated over his mother and stepfather Collin's refusal to involve Anthony in family activities, such as meeting Billy's girlfriend Skye. Anthony proceeds to watch over Michael's bus being transferred and has an emotional breakdown. That same night, a father and son come across the prison bus on the side of the road, having crashed. The father exits the car and goes to investigate, leaving his 12-year-old son in the car. After a few minutes, the son exits the car with a shotgun as they were going hunting. The son accidentally shoots Sartain after entering the bus, rushing back to the truck. An escaped Michael, who was hiding in the backseat, kills the young boy after snapping his neck, taking the truck, and returning to Haddonfield.

Deputy Frank Hawkins, whose son Malcolm was killed by Michael in 1998, arrives on the scene and comes across a still-alive Sartain, who informs him of Michael's escape. The following day on Halloween, Michael follows Aaron and Dana to a gas station, murdering them both in the bathroom, as well as killing a mechanic for some new overalls and another employee. Michael retrieves his mask from Aaron's car and leaves. Anthony learns of Michael's escape through a newscast on TV and arrives at Olivia's house to warn her and the family, only to be dismissed and kicked out of the house. Hawkins soon discovers the carnage at the gas station before spotting Anthony among a sea of onlookers. As nightfall emerges, Michael makes his way through town, murdering unsuspecting victims inside their homes.

Michael then kills Billy's best friend Logan and his girlfriend Chloe while the former was babysitting a young boy named Julian, who's able to escape unharmed. Billy soon discovers his girlfriend Skye cheating on him at a school Halloween dance, leaving with their friend Nathan. Anthony and Hawkins soon arrive on the scene, where Anthony sees Michael in his mask for the first time in twenty years. Anthony manages to shoot Michael in the shoulder, causing him to retreat. On their way back from the dance, Michael kills Nathan and comes face to face with Billy, who flees and is comforted by some local residents.

Hawkins and a recovered Sartain pick up a frightened Billy, driving back to Anthony's house. On the way there, they spot Michael and Hawkins proceeds to run Michael over with his car, seemingly killing him. Sartain, who's become obsessed with Michael's motivations, attacks Hawkins and leaves him injured on the road. Sartain drives the car to Anthony's house, where Michael awakens and kills Sartain, allowing Billy to retreat into the woods nearby. Michael then kills two police officers nearby on the way to Anthony's house.

Collin goes outside to greet who he believes are the two police officers, but discovers their maimed bodies instead. Michael then attacks Collin from behind and kills him after snapping his neck. Olivia hides in the basement of the house while Anthony fights with Michael, managing to sever two of Michael's fingers with a gunshot. Anthony joins Olivia in the basement as Michael forces his way into the house. Anthony apologizes for the way he acted during their marriage and during Billy's upbringing, eventually exiting the basement to confront Michael. Michael appears and attacks Anthony in an upstairs storage room, being stabbed and thrown out of a second-story window. Billy soon arrives, distracting Michael briefly. When Michael turns back, he finds Anthony missing, reminiscent of his disappearance in 1998.

Billy joins his mother in the basement as Michael forcibly attempts to remove the kitchen island which serves as the entrance to the basement. Michael successfully does so, only to be shot in the jaw by Olivia, as well as attacked from behind by Anthony. They manage to trap Michael inside the basement, ultimately lighting it and the house on fire. Olivia and Billy hitch-hike a passing vehicle so they can take an injured Anthony to the hospital. A shot of the burning basement is shown, with Michael nowhere in sight. The trio of Anthony, Olivia, and Billy drive away into the night as the house burns. Following the ending credits, Michael's breathing is heard, indicating that he survived.
