  • ''Blood Is Thicker Than Water.''



PLOT


The movie features the return of Curtis's character from the first two '' Halloween '' films, Laurie Strode. Laurie is now revealed to be living under the assumed name "Keri Tate." As Tate, Laurie is living a seemingly idyllic life, complete with boyfriend and career (as a head master at a private boarding school in Northern California ). Laurie's life is turned upside down again when her brother, serial killer Michael Myers , tracks her down and starts killing off her co-workers and students one by one. This problem is overcome, however, when Laurie seemingly decapitates Michael in the film's final sequence.


CONTINUITY

The movie offers two possible explanations for the fact that Laurie has supposedly died some time prior to the fourth film. In this film, it is established that Laurie had faked her death many years prior, thus her assumed name. But additionally, there is dialogue which suggests that this film wasn't intended to be a direct sequel to the fourth, fifth and sixth films. The dialogue instead suggests that this film occurs in some completely different timeline, apart from those three films.

Throughout ''Halloween H20'', Michael is spoken of, even by police officers, as though he hasn't been heard from in the 20 years since the night depicted in first two films. This would seem incompatible with the events of the fourth, fifth and sixth films. In those movies, Michael killed, or was involved in the killing of, dozens of people—including the majority of Haddonfield's police force being slaughtered on two different occasions. Such events would certainly not have gone unknown to the characters in this film.

The '' (unreleased at the time) impossible.


CAST




TRIVIA


  • Director Steve Miner has an uncredited cameo as the School Financial Advisor.


  • Jamie Lee Curtis's mother also has a role in the movie as Norma, the secretary of Curtis' character. The name "Norma" is a nod to Leigh's role in '' Psycho '', in which she fell victim to the murderous Norman Bates , which harkens back to the original ''Halloween'' films which featured Dr. Sam Loomis ( Donald Pleasence ), whose name was taken from the character in ''Psycho'' played by John Gavin . In Norma's final scene in the movie the theme to the movie Psycho can be heard as she walks over to an exact duplicate model car she drove in the Alfred Hitchcock film.
