Franchise .
''Evil Finds Its Way Home.''
At the beginning of the film,
Laurie Strode (a patient at a mental institution) is killed by Michael Myers. Soon after, a group of six college students win a competition to spend Halloween night in the childhood home of Michael Myers. Their mission is to find out what led him to kill. The investigation is done in the style of the
MTV Reality Show ,
Fear and is broadcast live on the internet. The participants think it's only for fun and that the stunt will earn them some publicity and scholarship money. While in the house, the event goes horribly wrong as Michael returns home and he has no intention of letting them leave alive. Soon, all but one of the college students are murdered. Using her
PDA and
Penpal on the outside, Sara escapes. Ultimately, only Sara Moyer and Freddie Harris, the host of the show, survive.
- After '''', Curtis was contractually bound to appear in another ''Halloween'' film. The decision was made to have her face her brother once more and then depart the series. This was mainly due to Curtis' lack of interest in continuing the role rather than character based considerations.
- In both sequels, ''Halloween: H20'' and ''Halloween: Resurrection'', we can see Michael's eyes behind his mask. This contradicts the first and second film when his left eye was poked out by a coathanger, and then shot in each eye by Laurie Strode. The only explanation for this would be that Michael has regenerative properties similar to his mass murdering rival, Jason Voorhees .
- As of this film, Michael's only living relatives are ''. It is unclear how, if at all, Sara Moyer is a blood relative of Michael. This is of importance because Michael's killings in ''H8'' are completely random. Many fans have therefore disowned the second part of this film, only caring about the death of Laurie. Although Michael was believed to kill at random in the original ''Halloween'', the sequels paint a somewhat different picture -- Michael's primary targets are his family members, although he will indulge in random kills.
