This time around we are shown more about Michael's childhood in Haddonfield; his family, his antisocial behaviour, the murders on Halloween, and his time in Smith's Grove under the care of Dr. Samuel Loomis (MalcolmMcDowell).
Then, fifteen years later, he escapes from the asylum and starts making way to Haddonfield, where one Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) prepares for her babysitting gig on AllHallowsEve. She, and her unfortunate friends, will soon find out just what kind of nightmare they have found themselves in.
