On Halloween night in 1978, escaped psychopath Michael Myers visited the people of Haddonfield, Illinois, and went on a killing spree, brutally murdering five people. Only one of Michael Myers’ intended victims escaped that night: teenager Laurie Strode, who has been haunted by the events of that evening ever since. Now, 40 years on, Laurie Strode has prepared for what she believes is the inevitable return of the murderous serial killer from her past. Laurie Strode knows that Michael Myers will return to her town and threaten her family–but she is ready for him. Halloween is an upcoming American horror film written and directed by David Gordon Green. It is a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s legendary slasher film of the same title from 1978. Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.
