HALLOWEEN (1998)

On Halloween night in 1983, a six-year-old Michael Myers murders his older sister Judith with a large knife inside their home in Haddonfield, Illinois. He is subsequently 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 arrive at the sanitarium to escort a 21-year-old Michael to a court hearing, only to discover all of the other inmates roaming around the yard. Loomis exits the car to investigate, leaving Marion alone as Michael attacks. Marion flees, allowing Michael to steal the car and drive away into the night. On his way back to Haddonfield, Michael kills a mechanic for some coveralls and steals some rope, some knives, and a Halloween mask from various local stores upon arriving.

On the morning of Halloween, 17-year-old Anthony Cunningham walks to school with a young boy named Tommy Doyle whom he'll be babysitting later on. Along the way, 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. Michael begins stalking Anthony throughout the day, 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 skeptical deputy about the impending danger. Hawkins eventually leaves to patrol the nearby streets, while Loomis remains at the house, expecting Michael to eventually return.

Anthony arrives at Tommy's house 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 outside. Malcolm eventually takes Lindsey over to Tommy's house so he can go pick up his girlfriend Annie. Michael, who was hiding in the back seat of Malcolm's car, attacks the latter as he tries to leave. Michael proceeds to strangle Malcolm before slashing his throat and killing him. While playing a trick on Lindsey, Tommy spots Michael carrying Malcolm's body back into Lindsey's house and begins to freak out, claiming to have seen "the boogeyman," only for Anthony to dismiss it as nothing.

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 and is ambushed by Michael in the kitchen. Michael proceeds to kill Ben by 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 and Lindsey as Michael begins slowly approaching. Michael proceeds to strangle Lynda to death with the telephone wire just as Anthony picks up the phone, believing it to be a joke. Meanwhile, Loomis scares away some kids trying to go inside Michael's house.

Curious, Anthony puts the kids to bed and goes over to Lindsey's house to investigate, finding her friends in an upstairs bedroom. Completely shocked and horrified, Anthony is ambushed by Michael, who slashes his 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. He manages to wake up Tommy, who opens the door just in time. Anthony orders Tommy to go and hide with Lindsey upon discovering an open window. Michael attacks again, only for Anthony to stab him in the neck with a knitting needle, seemingly killing him. Anthony goes to check on the kids upstairs, 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 him once again. Anthony orders the kids to go over to a neighbor's house and call the police, unaware that Michael has recovered.

Loomis, who had spotted the stolen car earlier, spots the kids running out of the house screaming and goes inside to investigate, finding Michael and Anthony fighting upstairs. Loomis shoots Michael six times in the chest, causing him to fall out of a second-story window to the ground below. Loomis goes to the window, discovering that Michael is missing. Unsurprised, Loomis looks out into the night as Anthony lay injured. 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 after being captured by Deputy Frank Hawkins after being shot by Loomis and falling out of a second-story window, is being prepared for transfer to a maximum security prison. True-crime podcasters Aaron and Dana arrive at the hospital to potentially interview Michael, meeting Dr. Ranbir Sartain, Michael's new doctor who was a pupil of Loomis before his death of natural causes. Sartain brings them to Michael, surrounded by other patients. The other patients begin to grow unstable as Aaron brings out the mask that Michael wore in 1998, hoping to get a reaction out of him and ultimately failing.

Aaron and Dana then go visit the heavily fortified house of Anthony Cunningham, the sole survivor of Michael's 1998 killing spree, who has been living in isolation and has been training and preparing for Michael's potential return. Aaron and Dana bribe him with $3,000 just to interview him, and through Aaron, we learn that Anthony has been divorced twice and has a strained relationship with his second ex-wife Kayla. Their son Drew attempts to have a normal relationship with his father but still urges him to move on with life. The following night, Anthony watches Michael's prison transfer from a distance and has a mental breakdown in front of his family at a local restaurant.

A father and son about to go hunting come across the crashed prison bus, causing the father to exit the truck and investigate. The young boy eventually leaves the truck to find his father after calling the authorities, finding and impulsively shooting Sartain inside the bus before fleeing back to the truck, where he is killed by Michael, who was hiding in the back seat. Michael disposes of the body and takes the truck, returning to Haddonfield. Deputy Frank Hawkins, who apprehended Michael in 1998, comes across the scene and finds an injured but still alive Sartain, who informs him of Michael's escape. The following morning on Halloween, Michael watches Aaron and Dana visiting his sister's grave from a distance before following them to a local gas station, where he kills a mechanic for some new coveralls as well as another employee. Michael proceeds to brutally murder both Aaron and Dana in the bathroom before retrieving his mask from their car.
