Halloween: Resurrection


Three years after the events that happened in California, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has been sent to a psychiatric hospital after it is revealed that she had beheaded a paramedic instead of Michael; the paramedic had located the body of Myers in the dining hall of Laurie's school, but Myers had attacked the paramedic, crushed his larynx, and forcefully switched clothing and his mask.

On October 31, 2001, still in captivity, Laurie pretends to be heavily medicated, behaving as though she had extreme dissociative disorder. In fact, she hides her pills and prepares herself for the inevitable confrontation with Michael. When Michael finally appears, Laurie lures him into a trap, as she attempts to kill Myers, she second guesses herself, to make sure that it is really her brother this time when it's obvious. Myers takes advantage, and stabs her on the roof. She then kisses him then says " I'll see you in hell". Then falls to her death. Michael then returns home to stay. His mission is complete....More>>

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>>

Halloween II


Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) saves Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from his patient Michael Myers (Dick Warlock), a homicidal maniac. Loomis informs Sheriff Leigh Brackett (Charles Cyphers) that despite being shot six times, Michael has survived and escaped. A traumatized Laurie is taken to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, where an EMS attendant, Jimmy (Lance Guest), begins to show an interest in her and later reveals to Laurie that her attacker was Michael Myers.

After Dr. Loomis sees a man that resembles Michael Myers wearing a similar mask, he and Sheriff Brackett jump out of the patrol car and chase the suspect on foot. As the suspect runs into the road, two cars crash in between him then explode, killing him. While Dr. Loomis and Sheriff Brackett are watching the body burn, an officer tells Sheriff Brackett that three teen bodies were found in a house, and one of them was his daughter, Annie. Dr. Loomis refuses to believe that Michael is dead without tangible evidence. The dental records of the suspect's burned body are examined and proven to not match Michael; the suspect is revealed to have been a 17-year old.......More>>

Halloween


On October 31, 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers (Will Sandin) murders his fifteen-year-old sister [10] Judith (Sandy Johnson) with a large kitchen knife at their home in Haddonfield, Illinois. His parents arrive home minutes later and find him in a trance-like state. Michael is incarcerated in Smith's Grove Warren County Sanitarium, where he is placed under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence). Eight years of treatment convince Loomis that Michael is pure evil. An additional seven years is spent trying to keep Michael locked up. On October 30, 1978 Michael turns 21 and is to be brought to court to determine if he is competent enough to stand trial for his crime. Loomis and his assistant Marion Chambers (Nancy Stephens) arrive at Smith's Grove to take Myers to court. Michael attacks them, nearly killing Marion, steals the car and escapes. Loomis goes in pursuit of Myers. He learns that Judith Myers's tombstone is missing, and is convinced that Michael will return home.

Michael (Nick Castle), wearing a mechanic's coveralls and a mask, indeed returns to his now derelict home in Haddonfield. He stalks teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), and follows her and her friends Annie Brackett (Nancy Kyes) and Lynda Van Der Klok (P.J. Soles) as they walk home from school. Laurie becomes unnerved after spotting Michael several times that day, but Lynda and Annie dismiss her concerns. That evening, Laurie meets Annie, who is babysitting Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards) across the street from where Laurie is babysitting Tommy Doyle (Brian Andrews)......More>>
