Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor.
But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster.
The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.

Any of you know the story of the Haddonfield Boogeyman?
Too young to give a shit? Too drunk to remember?
40 years ago, a madman escaped from a mental hospital.
It was the night before Halloween, and three teenage girls were walking home from Haddonfield High.
They had sightings of a… a ghostlike figure creeping right through our town.
A man in a white mask.
Or was it more than a man?
He was watching them.
Before the night was over, three people would be murdered.
And in the house next door, there was a babysitter and a young boy and a young girl, and they were brutally attacked by this stalker who had a power beyond any mortal man.
My name is Tommy Doyle.
And I was that young boy.
So, please, join me in commemorating the victims and the survivors of Michael Myers.
(whistling, whooping)
Thank you.
Now, we have, uh, the lovely Miss Lindsey Wallace.
Her babysitter, Annie Brackett, was executed that night.

I was always told that I couldn’t… I couldn’t talk about Michael.
I could never acknowledge the tragedy.
It was as if my mother’s biggest fear was that my grandmother was right and the Boogeyman was real.
KAREN: For 40 years, he was waiting to come and kill my mother.
He found where she lived.
He came to her house.
She put us in his path.
He murdered my husband.
That’s what happened.
GRAHAM: Well, so how did Michael know?
How did he know how to find your grandmother?
He didn’t.
It was his doctor.
Michael’s doctor.
He is the one that…
He took him there. He knew where to go.
And he’s the one that brought them together.
It was his obsession, not Michael’s.
KAREN: But we got him.
Shot him in the face, burned him alive so he can’t hurt anyone ever again.

I swear I was just trying to do the right thing.
Look at me.
What I’m thinking is the killer was choking him, Pete went for his gun.
As he pulled it up, it went off.
Give me your gun.
Don’t look at it.
Just be cool and give me your gun.
Take this.
It was an accident.
He shot himself.
Got it?
Just because your intentions are good doesn’t mean things always work out.
I stood in the way.
It was me.
It wasn’t him.
Let me find him, then.
He’s after me.
No, he’s not.
LAURIE: Frank.

HAWKINS: He’s not.
It was the doctor that took him to your house tonight.
It wasn’t Michael.
It’s not about you.
Doctor, get back in the car!
No!
I’m still gonna blow this motherfucker’s brains out.

Mom! Mom!
Help!
He’s a six-year-old boy with the strength of a man and the mind of an animal.
I know. I’ve seen his face.
I looked in his eyes when I took off his mask.
Did you know that when he was a little boy he used to stand in his sister’s bedroom and… stare out the window?
My partner died the night he stood on that same spot.
But for an instant, before his death, he knew.
Maybe he wasn’t looking out.
Maybe he was looking in.
At his reflection.
At himself.
Who knows what makes him kill, what motivates him?
But in his heart, it always seemed to me he wants one thing.
He’s going home.
He went from Laurie’s compound…
Mm-hmm.
…the victims in her neighborhood, to the park, okay?
If you track those locations, that’s a straight line, basically an arrow pointing straight to Lampkin Lane, Michael’s childhood home.
I came face-to-face with this asshole when I was a kid.
He creeps, he kills, he goes home.
Then that’s where we’re going.
LONNIE: Yeah.
