Halloween night in Haddonfield, Illinois, and something has come back for the neighborhood. Locked away since he was six for the 1963 murder of his sister, Michael Myers slips out of the state hospital and drifts home behind a blank white mask. As trick-or-treaters work the sidewalks, high schooler Laurie Strode babysits across the street, sensing a figure that keeps appearing and vanishing. Dr. Loomis, the psychiatrist who spent years studying him, races to reach town before dark work begins.
