History Film / HalloweenEnds

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:For Laurie Strode. After all the fear and trauma she endured from Michael Myers, she finally kills the boogeyman who has haunted her for most of her life. Through her memoir and her relationship with Hawkins, she is able to finally come to a place of peace. Allyson knows her grandmother is safe and can leave Haddonfield to live her life in the world]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Corey establishes himself as a villain by slaughtering some of the local jerks around Haddonfield, so it's still a little satisfying even if we know it's bad]].

* ContrivedCoincidence: In the prologue, Jeremy's parents live in a three-story mansion and are shown to be rich, upper-crust society types. There would be no reason for Jeremy's fortysomething mother to be frequenting a party bar meant for twentysomethings later in the film. Obviously, the plot required it so she could berate Corey and further his spiral into depression, but if she felt like morosely drinking alone (which is all we see her doing -- she makes no attempt to join in on the festivities), Haddonfield (which is big enough to have its own radio and [=TV=] stations) would have much more appropriate bar/lounges for someone of her age and social standing.
** On the other hand, this could be an indicator that whatever strain happened to Jeremy's parents following his death also involved them losing their wealth.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: During the showdown between Michael and Laurie, [[spoiler:Michael manages to free a hand Laurie had pinned to the table with a knife (ripping open the top of it in the process) and begins strangling her. As she goads him to follow through on killing her, we flash back through a rapid montage of encounters between the two across the original ''Halloween'' and this trilogy's past installments. The montage ends with Allyson getting a decisive lick in on Michael in the ending of the 2018 ''Halloween''...[[BigDamnHeroes at which point Allyson arrives in time to break Michael's arm.]]]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: Allyson has a BrokenPedestal dynamic with Laurie around the middle of the film, going from caring for and loving her in the previous installments to outright blaming her for ruining her life with the deaths of her friends and family and how she's been facing bad luck ever since. She initially seems to have a good relationship with Laurie, but once she finds out Laurie's interfering with her life by trying to keep her away from Corey, she vents her true, bitter feelings toward Laurie and [[YoureNotMyMother disowns her on the spot]]. The friction worsens when she [[spoiler:[[NotWhatItLooksLike finds Corey seemingly dead and Laurie standing over him with a bloody knife in her hand]], with absolutely nothing able to change Allyson's mind from the reality that Laurie killed him. However, after seeing the radio station burning down as she angrily drives away, Allyson has a JerkassRealization and [[BigDamnHeroes goes back just in time to save Laurie from being strangled by Michael]] (it should also be noted that most of Allyson's hostility was provoked by Corey's words, suggesting that he was manipulating Allyson to turn her against Laurie rather than Allyson feeling that way on her own)]].

** [[spoiler:Corey kills two guys and the girlfriend of one of them who had all bullied him...and also kills Margo, the only teenager in the group who refused to bully him, by stomping on her head, a truly cruel and unfair act.]]

*** ''Season of the Witch'' is infamously known as the sequel without Michael Myers although Michael does have a cameo when Dr. Challis watches the original ''Film/{{Halloween|1978}}'' at the bar. Similarly, [[spoiler:Michael plays a supporting role in this movie as Corey's mentor]].

** The opening. [[spoiler:Jeremy's parents arrive home to hear Corey yelling that he's going to kill Jeremy, then shortly after see their son fall several stories to the floor, dying with his face covered in blood, as Corey watches from above with a knife in his hand. In actuality, Corey yelling was him being angry and scared from Jeremy locking him in a dark room, Jeremy fell because Corey accidentally kicked a door in his face (which also is why his face was covered in blood), and he had a knife because he picked it up (finding it ominously abandoned on the stairs) in case he needed to defend himself from a possible home intruder.]]

* TokenGoodTeammate: Among the group of teens that harass Corey, Margo is the only one shown consistently taking pity on Corey, being uncomfortable with the group's abuse of him and calling out the group leader Terry for continuing to hurt him. [[spoiler:[[MisplacedRetribution Corey reciprocates her sympathy by stomping her face into mush and driving over her corpse.]]]] Though, the definition of good is downplayed because Margo doesn't DO anything to stop the bullies, so she is just as guilty as the rest of them.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:For Laurie Strode. After all the fear and trauma she endured from Michael Myers, she finally kills the boogeyman who has haunted her for most of her life. Through her memoir and her relationship with Hawkins, she is able to finally come to a place of peace.]]

** Corey's father is watching ''Film/HardTarget'' while [[spoiler:his son is slaughtering teens in his junkyard]].
