Halloween H20: 20 Years Later


The film begins on Thursday, October 29, 1998. Marion Chambers (Nancy Stephens), Dr. Sam Loomis's colleague, returns to her house to find it has been broken into. Before entering, she runs next door and lets her two teenage neighbors know that someone has ransacked her house. One of the teens, Jimmy Howell (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), searches Marion's house, but finds nothing and Marion decides to wait for the police in her house alone. While in her house, Marion discovers her file on Laurie Strode (Michael Myers' sister who escaped the attacks 20 years earlier) missing and finds someone is still in her house and immediately rushes over to her neighbours house. When she arrives she finds both teenagers murdered. The killer, Michael Myers, attacks her. After a confrontation with Marion, he manages to kill her. The police arrive as Michael leaves the house with the file on Laurie Strode.

The film then moves to Northern California, on October 31, 1998 - Halloween. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), is now revealed to be living under the assumed name "Keri Tate". As Tate, Laurie has a seemingly perfect life with an intelligent son, John (Josh Hartnett), and a boyfriend, Will (Adam Arkin), a great career (as headmistress at Hillcrest Academy High School, a private boarding school) however, Laurie/Keri is far from happy. The tragic events from 20 years previous still haunt her and adversely affect her parental capabilities. To everyone, this is "just another Halloween"; however Laurie still lives in constant fear from the attacks from 20 years ago...More>>
