It’s been years since Haddonfield has been ravaged by Michael Meyers. This small Illinois town is again the focus of his attention, as Michael hunts for the niece he never knew he had. Laurie is dead and some moron transporting Michael to a different hospital (recovering from wounds he suffered at the hands of his arch nemesis, Dr. Loomis ten years earlier) drops the ball and mentions she is a thing he can kill. Because when within earshot of a man whose only purpose is kill his family sure, go ahead and mention he has another one. Great idea, asshole.
