HalloweeN 4
THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS
We open on a black screen.
SUPERIMPOSE: OCTOBER 30, 1988
FADE IN ON:
EXT. ABANDONED FARM - AFTERNOON
A large, run down farm.
CLOSE ON:
A cardboard skeleton nailed to the wall of a shed.
CLOSE ON:
A bed sheet in the form of a ghost. It's gently swaying
back and forth in the wind.
CLOSE ON:
A half finished barn. A tumbleweed blows by the screen.
CLOSE ON:
A scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head. It sits on a
tractor, an axe by his side.
CLOSE ON:
A fence. A sharp piece of farm equipment is hanging from
it.
CLOSE ON:
A Halloween style weathervane.
EXT. ROAD - NIGHT - RAINING
An ambulance appears in the distance, it's headlights
barely penetrating the wall of darkness. It's a large and
lonely road, surrounded on either side by a thick wall of
towering trees.
POV
We are looking in on the two PEOPLE in front. They're both
men in their thirties or forties. They don't talk to each
other, just stare straight ahead. We see movement through
the tiny window at the back.
EXT. RIDGEMONT STATE PENITENTIARY
The ambulance pulls up to the gate. The driver honks the
horn. A GUARD comes running out of a building. He turns on
his flashlight, looks inside the ambulance, then at his
clipboard. He waves them through.
GUARD
Okay. Go on through.
INT. RIDGEMONT STATE PENITENTIARY
Another GUARD pushes a button on a control panel and the
doors slide open. A MAN AND WOMAN rush in, wet.
ATTENDANT
All metal objects into the tray.
They put the objects into the tray.
ATTENDANT
Purpose of visit?
MAN
A patient pickup and transfer to Smith's Grove.
ATTENDANT
You're late.
MAN
Yeah. Should be on the road.
ATTENDANT
Yeah, ha, hell of a night huh?
MAN
Real charmer.
ATTENDANT
I'll take you down there.
MAN
All right.
The man and woman follow the attendant through hallways.
ATTENDANT
First time here, huh?
WOMAN
Hope it's the last.
ATTENDANT
You never get used to the faces. Never.
VOICE
(screaming)
AHHHHHH!
MAN
Jesus.
ATTENDANT
Jesus ain't got nothing to do with this place. Come on.
They step into an elevator.
ATTENDANT
Yeah this is where society dumps its worst nightmares.
Yeah the one your picking up-just thinking about him gives
me the willies. Yeah, a decade ago, Halloween night he
murdered 16 people, maybe more-trying to get to his sister.
Nearly got her too. But his doctor, of all people, shot
him six times. Then he set him on fire. Both of them
nearly burned to death. Yeah, I'll be glad to see this one
gone. Oh yes in deedie.
He opens the elevator door.
ATTENDANT
Welcome to Hell.
The scene switches to a person all bandaged up laying in a
hospital bed. A NURSE talks to DR. HOFFMAN.
NURSE
Doctor? The transfer personal are here.
DR. HOFFMAN
Smith's Grove?
MAN
Yes.
DR. HOFFMAN
I'm Dr. Hoffman, Medical Administrator.
MAN
Has he been prepped?
DR. HOFFMAN
Ready to go. Who signs for him?
MAN
I do.
DR. HOFFMAN
Outside.
MAN
(To woman)
Check him out.
The man and the Dr. Hoffman both leave the room while the
woman goes to check out the patient. She feels for his
blood pressure and then his hand falls out from under the
sheet. The scene then goes to the Dr. and the man.
MAN
I'd assumed Dr. Loomis would be here. Michael Myers was
his patient.
DR. HOFFMAN
If Loomis read memos he's be here. Fortunately his position
is more ceremonial then medical. My hope is that he's
either transfer, retire, or die.
WOMAN
All right. Lets move him.
EXT. RIDGEMONT STATE PENITENTIARY
Michael is being wheeled out to the ambulance.
MAN
Watch it.
DR. HOFFMAN
I can safely say that Michael Myers is now in your hands.
MAN
Yeah. Well I guess your happy to see him go.
They put Myers in and close the doors.
MAN
(cont'd)
Night Doc.
DR. HOFFMAN
Drive Carefully.
They drive off, leaving Hoffman standing there. He's glad.
Michael Meyers is finally away from him.
INT. AMBULANCE
The woman and man are talking, an unconscious Michael
Meyers between them.
WOMAN
Did Hoffman say anything about living relatives?
MAN
Yeah A niece living in his home town.
CLOSE ON:
Michael's hand. It slowly grips his blanket. The terror has
awakened...
RESUME ON MAN AND WOMAN
WOMAN
And?
MAN
And? She's too young to be his legal ward.
WOMAN
So the state owns him? Great.
MAN
You know I still don't understand...
Suddenly, Michael's hand shoots forward, grabbing his head.
The woman screams as Michael repeatedly pushes the man's
head into a wall. Blood smears along the wall. The woman
sinks down onto the floor, screaming.
WOMAN
No!
Michael digs his finger deep into the man's skull, drawing
blood.
CUT TO:
INT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE/LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
JAMIE LLOYD, Laurie's nine year old daughter, sits on the
couch, staring out the window. An ambulance sits outside.
Jamie is very pretty with dark hair. SUNDAY, the family
dog, sits next to her. RACHEL, the Corruthers' only
daughter, comes into the living room. She's about 16, 17.
Her blond hair falls around her shoulders. She sits down
next to Jamie.
RACHEL
Kido. It's four in the morning.
JAMIE
I can't sleep.
RACHEL
What is this? Four nights in a row? You going for a record
here? The seven year olds insomniacs hall of fame?
JAMIE
Do you love me Rachel?
RACHEL
Oh, serious questions tonight. Of course I love you.
JAMIE
Like a sister?
RACHEL
Jamie, sometimes it's...
JAMIE
Like a real sister?
RACHEL
We're not real sisters Jamie, but that doesn't mean I love
you any less.
Jamie looks out the window and sees that the ambulance is
gone.
JAMIE
Sure it does.
RACHEL
I know you miss your parents, its hasn't been that long.
JAMIE
It's been eleven months.
RACHEL
Your mother used to baby-sit me when I was your age. I bet
you didn't know that.
JAMIE
Your lucky. I wish she could do the same for me.
RACHEL
Come on Jamie, lets go back to bed. Come on Sunday.
She calls Sunday and he follows them.
INT. JAMIE'S ROOM
RACHEL
Sleep tight. We'll have French toast for breakfast, okay?
Come on Sunday. Night night.
She leaves, closing the door behind her. The window is
open, band wind blows inside, chilling the room. Jamie
walks over to close it, and as she does, she passes her
vanity, with a large mirror in the center surrounded by two
mirrors on both sides. Thunder lights up the room, and
Michael, mask in place, is seen in the mirror. Jamie
doesn't notice.
Jamie closes the window and looks around. She walks to the
closet and opens it. She sits on the floor and picks up a
box. She takes off the lid and goes through the various
pictures inside. She comes to a picture and pulls it out.
It's a picture of Laurie holding a pumpkin, smiling. Jamie
begins to cry. Thunder rumbles outside. Jamie puts the
picture back in the box and closes the closet door. She
walks over to her bed and gets on her knees, about to pray.
JAMIE
Now, I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to
keep, if I should die before I wake I pray the lord my soul
to take. God bless Mr. and Mrs. Corruthers. God bless
Rachel, God Bless Sunday, god bless me. And god bless Mommy
and Daddy in heaven. Amen.
She's about to crawl into bed when the closet door creaks
open. Strange. Jamie slowly stands up and walks over to the
closet. She grabs the door and opens it. On the floor is
her doll. She picks it up and sets it on a shelf. Jamie
turns, but a creak noise behind her grabs her attention.
She looks back into the closet, but of course nothing is
there. She stands for a minute, her mind in overdrive. She
dismisses the noise and closes the door.
She walks to her bed as thunder rumbles in the distance.
Again, the closet door creaks open. Jamie just stands
there. Why is the door opening? She slowly heads towards
the closet, her eyes roaming the room. Suddenly, a hand
snakes out from under the bed and grabs Jamie! She screams
ans falls to the floor. Her tiny hands flail about on the
floor, trying to find a handhold. She kicks and gets her
foot free. She races towards the door. At the bed, a figure
sits up and turns to face us, even though he is bathed in
darkness. Lighting cracks outside, and the room is
illuminated. It's Michael! Jamie screams and runs to her
door, but it won't open.
JAMIE
Help! Help me, please!
Michael stands up. He has a knife in his hand.
JAMIE
Help me! Somebody help me!
She finally gets the door open, only to reveal... MICHAEL,
knife high in the air, prepared to strike. Jamie screams
and backs up in fear as Michael advances.
EXT. HALLWAY
A door flies open and DARLENE, Jamie's foster-mother, runs
out into the hall, closely followed by RICHARD, Jamie's
foster-father.
DARLENE
Jamie!
INT. JAMIE'S BEDROOM
Darlene flings the closet open to find Jamie, eyes closed,
clutching the box full of pictures. Darlene drops to her
knees and embraces Jamie.
DARLENE
Oh dear God. Its all right...a bad dream, just a nasty old
dream.
RICHARD
It's okay..it's okay.
Richard takes Jamie in his arms.
RICHARD
Your gonna be fine. Just fine.
EXT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE - MORNING
They're house is a nice red brick with two stories. Looks
to be early Victorian style. In the streets, children ride
bikes and walk.
SUPERIMPOSE: HADDONFIELD, ILLINOIS OCTOBER 31, 1988
HALLOWEEN
INT. CORRUTHERS' KITCHEN
Darlene is making eggs. Richard bends down to pick up his
coffee and his tie dips into it.
RICHARD
Dammit, Darlene.
Darlene looks over and sees his tie, wet. The phone rings.
DARLENE
Clean one in the laundry room next to your blue slacks.
(Picks up phone) Hello?
RICHARD
Honey, this tie has a spot on it, I can't wear this today.
I got a 10:30 with Chuck.
Rachel comes into the kitchen and begins opening cabinets
and pulling out stuff. She goes over to where Darlene is
talking.
DARLENE
(into phone)
Hang on Mrs. Pierce.
(to Richard)
Not that tie, on the other side.
(to Rachel)
That's not the only thing your eating Rachel.
RACHEL
Mom, I'm on a diet. You want an oinker for a daughter?
RICHARD
Found it.
DARLENE
(into phone)
Sorry. Do you suppose Susan could just bring her crutches?
Oh, stupid question. Tell her I hope she feels better.
(hangs up)
Susan's mother, she can't baby-sit tonight.
RICHARD
Why not?
DARLENE
Susan broke her ankle last night at the ice rink
(turns to Rachel)
Rachel?
RACHEL
Mom, please
DARLENE
You'll have to watch Jamie tonight.
RACHEL
Not tonight. I've got that date with Brady. You know how
important that is.
DARLENE
Well tonight is very important for your father and me.
RACHEL
Can't you find somebody else?
DARLENE
Its too late.
RACHEL
What am I supposed to tell Brady? Sorry, but I've got to
baby-sit my foster sister, go and have fun by yourself.
DARLENE
Its not exactly the end of the world, for goodness sake
Jamie appears in the doorway. Rachel doesn't notice her.
RACHEL
Sure it is. I think tonight Brady was ready to make a
commitment. But now my future relationship, my engagement,
my marriage, my children, your grandchildren, have all been
wiped out because I have to baby sit tonight.
JAMIE
I'm sorry I ruined everything. If I wasn't here you could
go out.
She runs off. Rachel groans.
RACHEL
Oh...
RICHARD
Good job Rachel. That little girl needs all the love we can
give her right now and all you can do is think about
yourself.
Rachel gets up and heads out of the kitchen.
INT. JAMIE'S ROOM
There's a knock at the door. It opens and Rachel comes
inside. Jamie sits on the bed, petting Sunday. Rachel sits
down.
RACHEL
Jamie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I can go out
with Brady tomorrow night. Its no big deal.
JAMIE
But you wanted to go out tonight. It's my fault that you
can't.
RACHEL
Well tonight we're going to do something better. We're
going to go trick-or-treating.
JAMIE
I don't want to.
RACHEL
It's Halloween. I mean don't you want to get dresses up in
a really scary costume and get some candy?
Jamie just sits there. Rachel has to try a different
tactic.
RACHEL
How about this afternoon I pick you up from school and we
go get ice cream?
JAMIE
Double scoops?
RACHEL
(laughs)
Double scoops. Now lets get some breakfast.
INT. RIDGEMONT STATE PENITENTIARY CORRIDOR
DR. LOOMIS walks down the hallway, limping. He has burn
scars on his face and hand. He walks to a door.
INT. DR. HOFFMAN'S OFFICE
Hoffman sits at his desk, typing.
LOOMIS
Why wasn't I notified?
DR. HOFFMAN
About what?
LOOMIS
You know damn well about what. You let them take it out of
here.
DR. HOFFMAN
For Christ sakes. Spare me the speech. I've listened to it
for a decade. The fact is that Michael Myers was a federal
patient, and a federal prisoner therefore he is subject to
federal law.
LOOMIS
We're not talking about any ordinary prisoner Hoffman! We
are talking about evil on two legs.
DR. HOFFMAN
I can see this is useless.
Loomis
Do you know what today is? Do you know the date? Everyday I
look at myself in the mirror and everyday I remember. Look
at me Hoffman, take a good look.
He holds up his hand and indicates his face.
LOOMIS
I don't want to have anyone live through that night again.
DR. HOFFMAN
I've said this before. I think your the one who needs
medical help.
His phone rings. He answers it.
DR. HOFFMAN
Yes, Dr. Hoffman...I see...I see...thank you.
He hangs up. He looks at Loomis, not sure how to say this.
DR. HOFFMAN
Apparently there was an accident. Just south of Mill Creek
near the...
But Loomis isn't listening. He bolts to the door.
DR. HOFFMAN
Loomis! Loomis!
EXT. ROAD/ACCIDENT SCENE
Road flares are lit and tossed on the ground. Police tape
is strung up. Loomis's car comes roaring down the road. It
pulls up to the accident scene. An OFFICER waves them, on.
The car comes to a stop and Loomis and Dr. Hoffman climb
out.
LOOMIS
Is that it?
He points to the overturned ambulance in the pond.
DR. HOFFMAN
Yes.
A COP comes over to them.
DR. HOFFMAN
When did this happen?
COP
Sometime in the night. They probably lost the road in the
storm. Come down the embankment. It happens.
DR. HOFFMAN
An accident?
COP
Yes, sir.
LOOMIS
Do you believe that?
He starts walking towards the pond. Dr. Hoffman can't
believe Loomis.
DR. HOFFMAN
Why shouldn't I?
LOOMIS
How many people in the bus?
DR. HOFFMAN
Four plus Myers.
LOOMIS
How many bodies did you find?
COP
It's hard to tell, there all chewed up.
DR. HOFFMAN
Loomis, it's over. Leave it alone.
Loomis just stands there for a minute, then walks into the
pond. The water is not very high, and Loomis uses his cane
for support. He walks to the back of the ambulance and
looks inside. Everything is bloody. The bed is tipped and
splattered with blood. Loomis knows what happened. He
knows. Loomis turns away from the scene of bloody carnage
and walks back to shore.
LOOMIS
He's gone. He was here, and he's gone.
Dr. HOFFMAN
Did you find any other bodies?
COP
Not yet. There's a lot of ground to cover.
LOOMIS
You won't find him. He's done all this. Now he's escaped.
Dr. HOFFMAN
You don't know that. Michael could have been thrown from
the bus.
COP
I've seen bodies thrown 50-60 feet from a crash site.
DR. HOFFMAN
Look, even if by some miracle Michael is conscience, his
muscles would be totally useless. Give the troopers a
chance to search.
LOOMIS
Your talking about him as if he were a human being. That
part of him died years ago.
He begins walking back to his car.
DR. HOFFMAN
Now where are you going?
LOOMIS
Haddonfield. It's a four hour drive. You can reach me
through the local police. If you didn't find him in four
hours, I'm sure I will.
INT. GARAGE/GAS STATION
A MECHANIC works underneath a car. He calls out to another
mechanic.
MECHANIC
Hey, Gar! How about a 9/16 wrench over here?!
He gets no response. He wipes off his hands with a rag and
slides out from underneath the car. He gasps.
MICHAEL
stands above him, pole in hand. He smashes it into the
mechanic's stomach, killing him instantly.
EXT. GAS STATION
Loomis's car pulls up to the gas station. Loomis turns the
car off and gets outside. He yells out to the gas station.
LOOMIS
Hey! Hey there! Hello?
No response. Loomis grabs the gas nozzle. He bends his
license plate back and unscrews the cap lid.
POV - THROUGH GARAGE WINDOW
Someone is watching Loomis as he pumps gas.
ANGLE ON - LOOMIS
He finishes pumping the gas and places the nozzle back on
the pump. He reaches into his coat for his wallet. He walks
into the garage.
INT. GARAGE
Loomis searches through the garage.
LOOMIS
Hello? Hello? Is anybody here? Hello? Hello?
Loomis passes a big hook, and suddenly there's a rattling
behind him. He turns to see the mechanic, tied up with
chains, dead. Loomis races outside.
EXT. GARAGE
Loomis races for the small store next to the garage.
INT. STORE
Loomis throws open the door and looks around.
LOOMIS
Is anybody here?
No response. Loomis pulls out his small gun. He spots a
phone behind the counter. He races to it, but stops when he
sees the dead waitress laying on the ground.
LOOMIS
God in heaven.
He looks at the phone, but it's broken. Loomis glances
around the store, and sees a pay phone on the back wall. He
walks over to it and grabs the phone. The cord has been
ripped out. Suddenly, he feels eyes on his back. He turns.
LOOMIS
Michael?
And sure enough, there is Michael, wearing a pair of
coveralls, standing in the doorway to the kitchen.
LOOMIS
Why now? You waited 10 years. I knew this day would come.
Don't go to Haddonfield.
He takes a step closer to Michael.
LOOMIS
If you want another victim take me, but leave those people
in peace. Please Michael...God Damn you...
He raises the gun and fires two or three times before
realizing Michael is gone... He rushes to the window and
peers outside. He hears a car door slam close.
EXT. GAS STATION
Loomis comes outside and looks around.
LOOMIS
Michael?!
Suddenly, the garage door breaks open as the towing truck
comes roaring outside. Loomis takes aim and fires, but his
bullets do nothing to stop the truck. Loomis jumps out of
the way. The truck hits one of the pumps, tossing it into
the air. Fire erupts, engulfing the other pump, then
Loomis's car. A huge explosion ensues. Loomis jumps behind
some barrels. The truck takes off down the road. The fire
spreads to the electrical pole and blows the fuse box. The
wires snap free.
INT. JAMIE'S SCHOOL
The bell rings and all the children come pouring out. They
all wear costumes, except Jamie. She goes over to a rack
and grabs her lunch box. Three KIDS surround her.
BOY 1
Hey Jamie! Where's your costume?
BOY 2
Where's your mask? Or are you wearing it?
JAMIE
I don't need to wear a stupid costume.
BOY 1
That's because everyday is Halloween at Jamie's house.
Right Jamie. Because your uncle is the bogeyman.
The kids start chanting bogeyman.
GIRL
How come your mommy didn't make you a costume?
BOY 2
How could she? Her mommy's dead.
BOY 1
Jamie's Mommy's a mummy.
JAMIE
Stop it okay? Stop it
She starts walking away. The kids begin chanting, "Jamie's
an orphan."
JAMIE
Stop it. Please Stop it.
EXT. SCHOOL
Jamie runs outside, but the kids' chants still haunt her.
She runs over to a tree and begins crying. She immediately
stops.
JAMIE.
You're okay. You're okay.
A car pulls up. Rachel sticks her arm out and waves.
RACHEL
Jamie!
Jamie turns. Rachel notices that something is wrong.
RACHEL
Jamie, are you okay?
Jamie gets in the car and they drive off.
INT. CAR
Jamie sits in between Rachel and her friend Lindsay.
RACHEL
You remember Lindsay don't you?
LINDSAY
Hi Jamie.
JAMIE
Hi.
RACHEL
You ready for some Ice Cream?
JAMIE
I wanna go trick-or-treating like the other kids.
RACHEL
But I thought you didn't want to go trick-or-treating.
LINDSAY
You know Rach, Discount Mart is having a sale on Halloween
costumes.
RACHEL
No. Brady's working there till 6:00 today.
LINDSAY
I know! Don't you want to talk to him?
RACHEL
I don't want to look pushy.
LINDSAY
You won't look pushy.
RACHEL
Well I don't want to come on too strong. A guy hates a girl
to come on strong. Fragile egos and all of that.
LINDSAY
You won't come on too strong.
RACHEL
Well I don't want to seem desperate or anything.
LINDSAY
Fact it Rach, you are desperate. (silence) Your just going
to go in and buy a costume for Jamie. Perfectly legit.
RACHEL
I don't know.
LINDSAY
Well do I drop you off at the Discount Mart or the Dairy
Queen?
RACHEL
Jamie?
JAMIE
The Discount Mart. Can we get Ice Cream after?
RACHEL
You bet.
They continue driving.
INT. DISCOUNT MART
WADE, a teen around Rachel's age, tries on sunglasses,
looking into a mirror. But he's really staring at KELLY, a
beautiful blond teen with looks that could kill. The only
problem is she's Sheriff Meeker's daughter. BRADY, Rachel's
boyfriend, and another GUY are by Wade. Brady stands behind
a counter while the guy stands next to Wade.
BRADY
Hey Wade, why don't you go ahead and make your move?
WADE
Don't rush me Brady. Timings got to be premo.
BRADY
Yeah well, money talks and bullshit walks. you know what I
mean?
He throws a wad of bills onto the counter.
GUY
Double or nothing you don't ask Kelly out.
BRADY
All right, ten bucks. Lets see it.
Wade and the guy place their money on the counter.
GUY
He's not gonna do it.
BRADY
Chicken.
GUY
Don't forget man, she's Sheriff Meeker's daughter
WADE
Her Daddy don't scare me.
He makes his way over to Kelly, who is standing on a step
stool, placing bottles onto a shelf. Wade coughs to get her
attention. She turns and looks at him.
KELLY
Fuck off Wade.
Wade turns to Brady and the guy, hurt. Kelly goes back to
shelving bottles. Brady and the guy start laughing.
EXT. DISCOUNT MART
Lindsay's car pulls up to the curb and stops. Rachel and
Jamie get out. Rachel calls to Lindsay.
RACHEL
Call me.
LINDSAY
Okay, bye.
They go inside and Lindsay drives off. We see a familiar
tow truck sitting opposite the Discount Mart...
INT. DISCOUNT MART
Brady immediately spots Rachel and Jamie as they walk
inside.
BRADY
Rachel! What are you doing here? I thought I was supposed
to pick you up?
RACHEL
Jamie needs a Halloween costume.
BRADY
(to Jamie)
You do? Okay. Go down aisle A. We've got the best costumes
in the whole town.
JAMIE
(to Rachel)
Come on Rachel.
RACHEL
In a second.
Jamie heads for the costumes aisle while Rachel talks to
Brady.
RACHEL
We need to talk.
BRADY
Okay sure. What about?
RACHEL
Its about tonight.
CUT TO:
Jamie, wandering the aisles. There are all sorts of masks.
She passes by a white one. She looks through the racks and
sees a clown costume.
JAMIE
Rachel, I found the perfect costume come see.
CUT TO:
Rachel and Brady kissing. Rachel pulls away.
BRADY
What?
RACHEL
My parents baby-sitter canceled.
BRADY
So?
RACHEL
So I have to watch Jamie tonight.
BRADY
When did you find this out?
RACHEL
This morning.
BRADY
Well you found out this morning? Why didn't you tell me
before? I mean it's 5 o'clock now Rachel...shit
RACHEL
Don't get angry.
BRADY
I'm not angry it's just
Kelly looks over. A plan is forming in her head.
BRADY
Can I come over after Jamie's asleep?
RACHEL
My parents are going to come home early tonight.
BRADY
So?
RACHEL
I don't know Brady.
BRADY
Okay, I guess. I'll call you later.
He walks away.
CUT TO:
Jamie looks at herself in the mirror with the costume. On
another aisle, a burned hand reaches down and grabs the
white mask. Jamie continues to look into the mirror, when
suddenly her image changes to a little boy in a clown
costume holding a knife. She steps back in fear and bumps
into Michael. He pulls on the white mask. He reaches out
for her and Jamie screams. She backs up into the mirror,
shattering it. Shards of glass go flying. Jamie sinks to
the ground. Rachel comes running over, and Michael is no
where to be seen.
RACHEL
Jamie, what happened?
JAMIE
It was the nightmare man
RACHEL
What?
JAMIE
He's coming to get me Rachel.
Kelly walks over.
RACHEL
Your okay. You probably saw a mask and it scared you. At
least your not cut. Come on, lets go home.
Brady, Wade, and the Guy come over.
GUY
Everything okay?
RACHEL
She'll be fine.
They get up and leave. Nobody notices Michael's reflection
in a broken piece of glass...
EXT. ROAD - MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
Loomis walks down the road, beat. His throat is parched and
his feet are tired, but he marches on. A station wagon
speeds down the road, and Loomis tries to flag it down, bit
it speeds past him. A car speeds past him, then stops. It's
full of CHEERLEADERS and a GUY
GUY
Come on old man!
Loomis begins hobbling towards the car while the
cheerleaders shout at him to hurry. As he gets closer, the
car takes off, making dust fly into the air. We can hear
the people laughing. Loomis stands in the road, rejected.
Suddenly, there's a honk behind him. He turns to see a
truck, PETE SAYER at the wheel.
SAYER
Get in here old man.
Loomis walks over to the truck and gets in.
INT. TRUCK
A very old, beat up truck. Sayer is an old, eccentric man
living in his own fantasy land.
LOOMIS
Thank you.
SAYER
Anything for a fellow pilgrim. Sometimes we need help
getting where we want to be. (sneezes) Reverend Jackson
Pete Sayer of Dumon County, please to make your aquanauts.
LOOMIS
How far are you going, Mr. Sayer?
SAYER
Gods Country, Promise Land. Where are you heading Mr..ah
LOOMIS
Loomis. Haddonfield.
SAYER
Car trouble?
LOOMIS
Sort of.
SAYER
Your hunting it, ain't ya? Yeah, your hunting it all right,
just like me.
LOOMIS
What are you hunting, Mr. Sayer?
SAYER
Apocalypse, end of the world, Armageddon. Its always got a
face and a name.
He takes a drink of the liquor.
Hunting the bastard for 30 years give or take. Come close a
time or two. Too damn close. You can't kill damnation Mr.
it don't die like a man dies.
LOOMIS
I know that Mr. Sayer.
SAYER
Oh your a pilgrim all right. I saw it on your face back
there in the dust. I saw it clear as Breasts and blue suede
shoes. Would you like a drink? (Hands Loomis the bottle who
takes it.)
EXT. HADDONFIELD - NIGHT
It's Halloween night, and the children are out. But not all
are collecting treats. A few KIDS throw toilet paper over a
tree, then run away laughing.
INT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE
Richard and Darlene are at the front door, getting ready to
leave. Jamie is in the kitchen scraping off a plate.
RICHARD
Okay Jamie, we're leaving. Where's Rach?
JAMIE
I don't know.
Rachel comes into the living room.
RACHEL
Here I am.
RICHARD
Come on, hon.
He takes Jamie's hand and leads her into the foyer.
DARLENE
How do we look?
RACHEL
You guys always look great.
DARLENE
We'll be at the Fallbrooks. The number's next to the phone.
RACHEL
I know, and next to that is the police, hospital, fire, and
probably National Guard.
RICHARD
I want you two to have fun tonight. Make sure Jamie's in
bed by 9:30.
Rachel opens the door and her parents step outside.
MICHAEL'S POV - THROUGH BUSHES
Richard and Darlene are at the doorway.
RACHEL
You're gonna be late. You don't want to blow your
promotion.
RICHARD
Don't make fun. Tonight is the difference between vacations
in Bermuda, or spending another two weeks in Cleveland with
your grandmother.
RACHEL
So hurry up.
JAMIE
Bye.
RICHARD
See ya.
RACHEL
Good luck, Dad.
They leave.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Jamie turns to Rachel, barely containing her excitement.
JAMIE
Rachel, can I go get my costume on?
RACHEL
Yeah, hurry up.
Jamie hurries upstairs. Rachel makes sure she's upstairs,
then walks into the living room.
MICHAEL'S POV - THROUGH WINDOW
Rachel walks into the living room. The POV walks past the
brick wall to the other window. Rachel is sitting in a
chair, phone to her head.
RACHEL
Is Brady there?
(pause)
He's not back from work yet?
(pause)
Okay...Well when he comes in could you tell him to drop by
at about eight. I should be home by then.
(pause)
This is Rachel. Okay, bye.
Rachel hangs up, depressed. She calls up to Jamie.
RACHEL
Come on Jamie, your gonna miss all the good Candy.
INT. JAMIE'S ROOM
Jamie sits on her bed, clown costume on. She pulls on the
small face mask, which looks like a dorkier version's of
Robin's mask.
EXT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE - MICHAEL'S POV
Rachel gets up off the chair and moves out of our line of
site.
RACHEL
Come on Jamie.
EXT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE - FRONT LAWN
We see Jamie come running down the steps. She opens the
front door.
JAMIE
Come on Rachel!
RACHEL
Coming.
JAMIE
I thought you said you were ready.
RACHEL
I'm ready. I'm ready. Okay, let's go.
They leave the house, Jamie excited. Rachel closes the
door. And off they go.
INT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE - MICHAEL'S POV
He's making his way upstairs.
INT. JAMIE'S ROOM
The box full of pictures has been thrown down, all the
pictures scattered. A burnt hand comes into view, and
starts going through the pictures. They are pictures of
Laurie and Jamie at an earlier age.
INT. POLICE STATION
Loomis comes in.
LOOMIS
Ah, I need to speak with Sheriff Bracket.
HANK, the cop on duty, turns from his desk.
HANK
Well then, you'll have to travel about 3 thousand miles
south of here.
LOOMIS
What?
HANK
Bracket retired in '81. Went to St. Petersburg
LOOMIS
Oh. Well, who's the new Sheriff?
BEN MEEKER, the new sheriff of Haddonfield, walks over to
Loomis. He's a man in his early forties with an air of
power. Not a man whom who should cross.
MEEKER
I am. Ben Meeker.
LOOMIS
Oh, Sheriff Meeker, my name is Dr. ...
MEEKER
(cuts him off)
Loomis. Folks around here aren't likely to forget your
face. At least not cops. So what brings you back here after
10 years?
LOOMIS
Michael Myers has escaped from Ridgemont. He's here in
Haddonfield.
MEEKER
That's impossible. Michael Myers is an invalid.
LOOMIS
He's here, Sheriff.
MEEKER
Why?
LOOMIS
10 years ago he tried to kill Laurie Strode, and now he
wants her daughter.
MEEKER
Are you talking about Jamie Lloyd?
LOOMIS
Where ever she is, that little girl is in mortal danger.
MEEKER
Myers has been locked up since before she was born. He's
never laid eyes on her.
He turns his back, and starts to move off.
LOOMIS
Six bodies, Sheriff! That's what I have seen between here
and Ridgemont. A filling station in flames. I'm telling you
Michael Myers is here in this town. He's here to kill that
little girl and anybody that gets in his way.
MEEKER
Hank, call the troopers and check his story out.
(to Loomis )
And assuming what you say is true..
LOOMIS
Its true, Sheriff.
MEEKER
All right, all right. Its true, what the hell can we do to
avoid a repeat of what happened 10 years ago?
LOOMIS
Find this little girl, get her somewhere safe. Call the
local T.V. station. Tell them to get people off the streets
and behind locked doors.
HANK
Can't get long distance, Sheriff. Operator says the lines
are down.
MEEKER
(to Loomis)
All right, lets go.
LOOMIS
When he makes that call.
MEEKER
All right. Pierce, do it. Lets check on this little girl.
He and Loomis leave the station.
EXT. STREETS OF HADDONFIELD
Jamie is at a house, getting candy.
JAMIE
Thanks!
She takes off to the next house. Rachel can hardly keep up.
RACHEL
Jamie, wait for me.
JAMIE
This is great Rachel. Come on.
She takes off for the next house. Rachel is less than
enthused. She slowly makes her way to the next house, a mob
of kids running past her. Jamie is already at the next
house. She knocks on the door. A WOMAN answers the door.
JAMIE
Trick-or-treat.
WOMAN
My what a cute little clown. Lets see what I have for you.
There you are, sweetheart.
JAMIE
Thank you.
RACHEL
Thank you.
WOMAN
You're welcome.
They get back on the sidewalk.
RACHEL
Had enough?
JAMIE
No way! Halloween's great. Can we stay out all night?
RACHEL
Forget it kido. We're home by eight o'clock.
They cross the street and meet a group of four kids, one of
whom is the boy who teased Rachel.
KID 1
Look, there's Jamie.
Jamie and Rachel stop.
KID 1
That clown costume is really cool.
JAMIE
Really?
KID 2
Yeah.
Nobody notices Michael, standing across the street, hidden
in the shadows of the garage.
KID 1
Hey wanna go with us?
Jamie looks to Rachel for permission.
RACHEL
Go ahead.
The kids run to another house. It's a brick house with two
stories, an attic, and a basement. The kids ring the
doorbell. The door opens to reveal Kelly Meeker, wearing a
long T-shirt that says, "Good cops do it by the book." She
sees Rachel and glances back into the house.
KELLY
Hi Rachel.
RACHEL
Hi.
Kelly starts to give the kids candy, a big smile on her
face. Rachel glances back into the house and sees Brady
come down the stairs. Rachel can't believe it. As the kids
start to leave, Rachel turns in disgust and follows. Brady
comes racing out of the house.
BRADY
Rachel! Rachel!
Kelly stops him.
KELLY
Brady!
BRADY
Just a second.
He races off after Jamie.
BRADY
Rachel, I've got an expl-- I've got an explanation.
RACHEL
You don't owe me anything.
Jamie walks on with the rest of the kids.
KID
Hey Jamie come with us.
JAMIE
Okay!
Jamie follows the other kids, leaving Rachel and Brady to
argue.
RACHEL
Just leave me alone and lets forget it.
BRADY
No, you don't understand.
He glances over at Kelly standing in the doorway.
BRADY
I mean, you blew off our date at last minute.
RACHEL
So you hop on to the next best thing? I thought you were
different from other guys.
BRADY
I am different, it's just that I just got pissed
off...that's all.
RACHEL
Oh really? Well, I'll just let you get back to little Ms.
Hot panties.
She starts to walk away.
BRADY
Rachel!
But Rachel doesn't care.
RACHEL
Jamie!
Brady puts his hands behind his head and watches Rachel go.
He messed up big time.
KELLY
Brady, are you coming in or what?
Brady takes one more glance at Rachel then goes back
inside. Rachel looks around for Jamie, but doesn't see her
or the kids she was with.
RACHEL
Jamie! Jamie! Great Rachel, just great.
INT. BAR
A very noisy bar, just like any other. A T.V. positioned
behind the bar is turned on.
REPORTER
By order of the Sheriff's office, all citizens of
Haddonfield are asked to clear the streets.
EARL, the store's proprietor, watches the news.
EARL
Everybody shut up a goddamn minute. Shut up!
REPORTER
All businesses are asked to close as soon as possible.
GUY
What's all that shot about, Earl?
Earl picks up a phone and starts dialing the police station
GUY
Not like 'ol Ben Meeker do something like that.
EARL
Sure ain't. Martians could land on Ben's doorstep, all he'd
do is spit once and get himself a shot gun.
GUY
Who you calling?
EARL
Police station. I ain't closing down with out a good
goddamn reason.
GUY 2
Well?
EARL
It just rang.
He hangs up and takes a swig of a beer. Then he's off. He
looks at the others.
EARL
Well, come on. Jackie, watch the register for me, hun.
JACKIE
You got it Earl.
As Earl and the other men leave, all the other people in
the bar stop what they are doing and follow.
EXT. BAR
Earl and the other pile out of the bar.
GUY
What's going down?
GUY 2
Where are we going Earl?
EARL
We're going to Ben's. The phone never just rings at a
police station.
GUY
No way. No how.
GUY 2
Wake up the Sheriff.
They all get in their trucks and rive off. A hillbilly mob.
INT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE
The door opens and Meeker comes in, holding a shotgun.
Loomis is right behind him.
INT. JAMIE'S ROOM
The door opens and Loomis steps inside. He tries the light
switch. Nothing. Loomis isn't surprised. He looks around.
That's when he spots the pictures on the ground. He bends
down and picks them up. As he does this, he notices
something even worse. Meeker comes inside.
MEEKER
Something?
LOOMIS
He's been here.
MEEKER
How do you know?
Loomis looks at the closet. Meeker follows his gaze. In the
closet is Sunday, dead.
MEEKER
This is starting to spook me.
LOOMIS
Least I'm not alone.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Meeker and Loomis come down the stairs. LOGAN, a deputy
with blond hair in his late thirties, stands in the living
room.
MEEKER
Logan, I want you to stay here in case the family gets
back.
LOGAN
Right here, Ben.
MEEKER
You look sharp. You understand?
LOGAN
No problem, Sheriff.
Loomis and Meeker leave.
EXT. POWER PLANT
BUCKY, an electrician, opens a fuse box. He tries a fuse
switches. Nothing. He pops a piece of gum in his mouth. He
glances up, and sees Michael, standing behind his truck.
BUCKY
Hey you! This is city property. No trespassing.
He walks over to Michael, who just stands there, bathed in
darkness.
BUCKY
What are you, deaf? Don't try that Halloween shit with me.
All right, I'm on the telephone to the police right now.
Don't you even think about leaving.
He turns and begins to walk towards the phone. Michael
begins following. Bucky turns and Michael grabs his shirt
and belt, and throws him through the air. Bucky lands on a
power unit, and sparks fly. The whole place buzzes while
Bucky screams.
EXT. HOUSE
The lights go off.
EXT. POWER PLANT
Bucky continues to fry, while sparks shoot up into the air.
Michael turns away.
EXT. HOUSE
The lights flicker, then go off.
EXT. POWER PLANT
A huge explosion rips the beams, and then all is quiet.
Poor Bucky is fried to a crisp.
EXT. STREETS OF HADDONFIELD
The kids are still trick-or-treating, but their parents
drive up in cars and collect them. The kids complain, but
the parents are very firm.
Meanwhile, Rachel wanders the streets. She stops in the
middle of a street.
RACHEL
Jamie!
No response. Rachel begins walking.
MICHAEL'S POV - THROUGH BROKEN WINDOW
He is breathing heavily.
RACHEL
Jamie!
ANGLE ON - RACHEL
She sighs and moves on.
EXT. HADDONFIELD STREET
Jamie is lost and alone, scared. She is in the bad part of
town, and has no one to go to. Suddenly, a noise behind
her. She turns around. A bush is moving. But is it the
wind, or something far more sinister?
JAMIE
Rachel? Is that you? Is that you?
Jamie turns away, very frightened. She starts walking.
Behind her, on a porch, is a grinning jack-o-lantern.
EXT. STREET
Rachel is also scared, but trying not to show it.
RACHEL
Jamie? Jamie!
She stops walking, and hears a branch snap behind her. She
glances behind her. She sighs and starts walking again.
RACHEL
Jamie?
She looks past a house into an alley. It's a dead end.
RACHEL
Jamie?
Rachel sighs. She could be anywhere. Rachel glances the
other way and sees a dirt road. But that's not what
attracts her attention. It's the man that does. His upper
body is shrouded in smoke. He begins walking towards
Rachel. She backs away and runs down the alley. She jumps
onto the tire and grabs a hold of the fence. She begins to
climb it, going as fast as she can. When she reaches the
top she jumps down to the ground, and takes off running.
RACHEL
Oh God!
She runs down an alley and jumps over a small fence
separating two lawns. She runs onto the sidewalk.
RACHEL
(scared)
Jamie.
She takes off running.
EXT. STREET
Jamie walks down a dark street. She hears rustling behind
her. She turns around and looks behind her at all the trees
and the old house.
JAMIE
Whoever you are, I have a really big dog with me and he
bites.
In the background, Rachel comes running across a lawn.
Jamie turns and sees Rachel. Rachel rushes over to Jamie.
RACHEL
Jamie! Where have you been? Don't ever go off on your own
at night again okay? Not ever.
They hug, both glad for the company. Suddenly, headlights
illuminate them. They look over to see a cop car. Meeker
and Loomis get out.
MEEKER
Rachel, Jamie. Thank God!
RACHEL
What's going on?
LOOMIS
Get in the car. Come on, quick.
Rachel and Jamie hurry to the car and get in the back.
Meeker makes his way over to the driver's side. Loomis is
about to get in when he sees HIM. Michael, standing across
the street, hidden behind a row of bushes. Meeker spots him
too.
MEEKER
Is that him? Is that him?
LOOMIS
Yes.
Across the street behind Meeker another Michael appears.
Meeker turns and spots him. Then a third Michael appears.
MEEKER
Oh Christ. Doc...
LOOMIS
Dear God.
Loomis pulls out his gun. Which Michael is real. He takes
aim and is about to fire when:
BOY
(pulling off mask)
Hey! Don't shoot!
The other two also pull of their masks, and run away,
laughing and taunting.
MEEKER
Get home dammit. There's a curfew. If I catch your asses,
it'll be a weekend in jail. You all right Doc? Come on,
we'll get to the station and get these kids safe.
In the car, Jamie begins to cry.
RACHEL
Okay.
Meeker and Loomis get in the car and drive off.
MEEKER
(on CB)
Come in Pierce.
Behind them stands the real Michael Myers, watching,
waiting.
INT. POLICE STATION
The whole place has been wrecked. papers and equipment have
been strewn about. Meeker and Loomis survey the
destruction.
MEEKER
Oh Christ. They wouldn't have given up without a fight.
LOOMIS
They didn't know what they were fighting.
Meeker makes his way deeper into the station. He stops when
he spots Hank, stabbed and cut in so many places. He can't
believe his eyes.
MEEKER
How can a man do this Loomis? Tell me.
LOOMIS
It isn't a man.
MEEKER
What is he? Tell me! What the hell are we dealing with?
LOOMIS
Evil.
With that, Loomis exits the police station.
EXT. POLICE STATION
Rachel and Jamie are still in the car, Jamie sleeping. The
three trucks full of hill billies drive up, and Jamie wakes
up. Meeker and Loomis come out of the police station as the
hillbillies pile out of the trucks.
EARL
What in Sam Hill is going on?
MEEKER
Go on home Earl. It's police business.
GUY
What the hell did this?
EARL
Looks to me like your out of business. Now I want some
answers.
MEEKER
I haven't got the time or the patience to argue with you.
Now go home to your families where you belong.
The men start talking and cause a big commotion. Loomis
decides to end it.
LOOMIS
It was Michael Myers. He's come home to kill.
MEEKER
Let it be Earl. Let the police handle it.
EARL
Like the last time? How many people killed back then? How
many kids?
GUY
Al here lost his boy 10 years back.
AL
Well not this time, Ben. I'll handle this my own way. We're
gonna fry his ass.
The others agree and head for the trucks. Meeker turns on
Loomis.
MEEKER
You son of a bitch, you just created a lynch mob.
LOOMIS
You haven't got a police force! These men may be the only
defense you've got.
The men get in their trucks and drive off. Meeker watches
them go.
MEEKER
God help us.
EXT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE
Logan runs out of the house, closing the door behind him.
He runs to his car and climbs inside. He grabs his CB.
LOGAN
132 to 133 this is 134.
MEEKER
This is 132, over.
LOGAN
Ben-uh-I just heard about the station.
The camera pans back to show Michael's burned hand
clutching the backseat.
MEEKER
Go to my house. We'll call the state force from there.
LOGAN
I'll be there in 5 minutes.
He starts the car and pulls out of the driveway. As his car
speeds down the road, the Corruthers' car enters their
driveway. Darlene gets out, afraid.
DARLENE
Honey, I don't think their home.
RICHARD
How do you know their not?
DARLENE
Because the lights are all out.
RICHARD
I told them to be here by nine. Its not 9:30 yet.
DARLENE
We should call the fire department.
RICHARD
I'm not calling the fire department.
They run inside.
EXT. PARK
Earl's truck goes down the road. The hillbillies search.
GUY
There he is...I've seen his face right there Al, in those
bushes.
They all climb out of the truck and take aim at some
bushes. The bushes move and all the hillbillies open fire.
For what seems like hours the hillbillies shoot, until
they're positive he's dead. They rush over to the bushes.
GUY
Shit, Earl. It's Ted Holster.
EARL
You dumb son of a bitch, you said you saw Myers.
INT. MEEKER'S HOUSE
Kelly and Brady are on the floor, making out. Brady slides
Kelly's shirt up to reveal her panties. They're kissing
passionately.
KELLY
Lets go upstairs.
BRADY
No, I think we're doing just fine here.
Kelly takes off her shirt, revealing her bra.
BRADY
Oh, I think I'm in Heaven.
Kelly giggles. Brady takes off his shirt. Kelly slowly
reaches behind her back and begins to remove it. She does
it slowly, coyly. She slides one strap off, then the other.
She hides her breasts and leans down, and Brady's hands are
all over her. Suddenly, headlights appear on the wall.
BRADY
Oh shit!
KELLY
It's my dad!
BRADY
Your dad? Your dad!!!
EXT. MEEKER'S HOUSE
The cop car pulls in the driveway.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Kelly and Brady are hastily getting dressed.
KELLY
God, if he catches us like this he's going to skin you
alive for starters.
BRADY
What?
Kelly grabs her bra and stuffs it underneath a couch
cushion.
KELLY
Come on. Come on.
EXT. OUTSIDE
The foursome have piled out of the car and are headed
towards the house.
LOOMIS
Where's that Deputy?
MEEKER
Be here in a minute.
They go inside. A few seconds later, Logan pulls up.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Brady sits down in a chair. Kelly tosses him a magazine. He
pretends to read it. Meeker and the others come inside.
Rachel sees Brady and knows exactly what happened.
MEEKER
Rachel, take your sister upstairs. First door on the right.
KELLY
Dad, what's going on?
MEEKER
Kelly, I want you to close and lock all the downstairs
windows.
KELLY
Why?
MEEKER
Just do it.
LOOMIS
Where's the radio?
MEEKER
Right through the kitchen you'll see the basement stairs.
(to Brady)
Brady, you know how to use a gun?
BRADY
Yes sir.
Meeker goes to the gun cabinet, and pulls out a shot gun,
hands it to Brady.
MEEKER
Think you can handle that?
BRADY
Yeah, um, you want to tell me what's happening?
MEEKER
Yeah, when I have time.
Logan comes inside.
MEEKER
You got your riot gun?
LOGAN
Yeah in the trunk of my squad.
MEEKER
Go get it.
He grabs a box full of bullets and hands them to Brady.
MEEKER
Take these.
He then gives Brady the toolbox.
MEEKER
Okay, you got a hammer and roofing nails. I want you up in
the attic securing it so that nobody can get in.
BRADY
You know, if something's happening, I should just go call
my parents.
MEEKER
Just get up in the attic.
As Brady turns to go up to the attic, Meeker stops him.
MEEKER
Oh yeah, I catch you groping my daughter I'll use that shot
gun on you. You understand?
Brady nods and heads for the stairs, more than a little
scared.
EXT. OUTSIDE/DRIVEWAY
Logan walks out to his car. He sees that the one of the
back seat doors is open. He closes it, only a little
worried. He goes to his trunk and opens it. He pulls out
his riot gun and closes the trunk. He heads for the house.
MEEKER
Get the outside shutters.
LOGAN
What are we doing?
MEEKER
Making sure that no one can get in here.
LOGAN
Isn't this all a little paranoid?
MEEKER
If you'd seen that police station you wouldn't even ask.
INT. BEDROOM
Brady stops at the doorway and looks in at Rachel and
Jamie.
BRADY
Are you two okay?
RACHEL
We've been better.
BRADY
What's going on?
RACHEL
Michael Myers.
BRADY
Who's that?
RACHEL
10 years ago? Halloween? He's Jamie's uncle.
JAMIE
The kids at school were right.
BRADY
Um, I'm gonna be outside, upstairs in the attic.
Logan is out fixing the shutters and Brady goes into the
attic.
KELLY
That's all the windows, Dad.
MEEKER
All right. Good Good. Logan I want you right here by the
front door. This is the dead bolt key.
He locks the door.
MEEKER
Now I pad locked the back door, this is the only way in and
out of this house. You got that?
LOGAN
Got it Ben.
He turns to Kelly, who's just standing there.
MEEKER
Why don't you go make some coffee.
KELLY
All right.
INT. ATTIC
Brady is nailing a window shut. Suddenly, he hits his
finger with a hammer.
BRADY
Oh shit!
He hears a noise coming from some dark corner of the attic.
BRADY
Hello?...Who's there?
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM
Jamie and Rachel lay on the bed, trying to go to sleep. But
after all they've been through, it might be a while before
either of them get a good nights rest.
JAMIE
Can we go home soon Rachel?
RACHEL
Real soon, Jamie. Now shh.
INT. BASEMENT
Loomis and Meeker walk over to the radio. Meeker sits down
in front of it.
LOOMIS
How's it powered?
MEEKER
Batteries. I planned the generator for the house next week.
I wished I hadn't waited.
(into radio)
This is squawk 79er zero of Haddonfield broadcasting on the
state police emergency frequency. Can anyone hear me?
He gets nothing but static, so he switches frequencies.
MEEKER
Can anyone here me?
(Static)
Dammit.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Logan sits in the rocking chair, shotgun in his hands. He
slowly rocks back and forth. Kelly is in the kitchen making
coffee. Rachel comes down the stairs and walks over to
Logan.
LOGAN
Everything all right?
RACHEL
Jamie's sleeping. When can we go home?
LOGAN
State police will get here soon. Not long after that. Don't
worry.
RACHEL
I'm trying.
LOGAN
It won't be long.
Myers face appears in the next room. You can barely see it,
but Logan senses its presence and turns to look. But
Michael has already disappeared from view.
INT. BASEMENT
Loomis and Meeker are listening to the radio, trying to
contact help.
LOOMIS
I hear someone.
FRANK
This is Frank Bute over in Tuckerville you got some kind of
emergency?
MEEKER
Oh Christ. This is Ben Meeker. Sheriff over in Haddonfield.
Our phone and power lines are down and we have a killer
running lose in the street. Michael Myers.
FRANK
Is this some kind of Halloween prank?
MEEKER
This is no joke. We need those troopers and we need them
now.
FRANK
All right. I'll get those troopers right away, hang on I'll
need some information.
MEEKER
I'm not going anywhere Mr. Bute.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Loomis comes up the stairs. He meets Rachel, who is just
entering the living room. He inquires about Jamie.
LOOMIS
Rachel, is your sister all right?
RACHEL
She's fine.
LOOMIS
Good.
(to Logan)
Sheriff's radioed for help. they'll be here soon.
LOGAN
Hell of a night.
LOOMIS
Its not over yet.
LOGAN
Where are you going?
LOOMIS
The Corruther's house. That's where Jamie lives, that's
where he'll go.
LOGAN
Leave Myers for the state boys.
LOOMIS
The state police won't know how to stop him.
LOGAN
Do you?
LOOMIS
Maybe nobody knows how to stop him, but I've got to try.
Loomis leaves to go find Michael. Logan closes and locks
the door.
INT. KITCHEN
Rachel goes into the kitchen and Kelly is searching for
something. She's checking all the cabinets.
RACHEL
Are you looking for this?
She hands Kelly a pack of sugar. Kelly takes it and goes
over to the coffee. Kelly seems sad. She tries to patch
things up between her and Rachel.
KELLY
I didn't know you and Brady had anything okay?
RACHEL
You knew. You just didn't care.
KELLY
He's not married. Besides, I've got a right to do what's
best for me.
RACHEL
Don't you mean what you do best?
KELLY
Wise up to what men want Rachel, or Brady won't be the last
man you lose to another woman.
Rachel picks up a cup of coffee.
RACHAEL
Have some coffee.
She pours it all over Kelly's shirt. Kelly gasps, surprised
at Rachel.
INT. BASEMENT
Meeker is listening to the radio. It suddenly comes alive
with the hillbillies.
MAN 1
Over at Alan gateways, shot Ted Holster by mistake.
MAN 2
Well is he dead.
MAN 1
Yeah, he's dead.
MEEKER
Oh Christ.
Rachel comes down the stairs and stands behind him.
MEEKER
04'd out there, this is Ben Meeker...Answer me dammit.
All he gets is static. Nobody out there wants to take
responsibility.
RACHEL
Sheriff, what is going on out there?
MEEKER
All right Rachel, you stay by this radio. The state boys
will send word once their in route. When that word comes
you go tell deputy Logan.
RACHEL
Okay.
MEEKER
Now you understand?
RACHEL
Uh huh.
Meeker heads for the stairs.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Meeker walks over to the door. Logan stands up. Meeker gets
the key and starts unlocking the door.
MEEKER
I'll be out on gateway and I doubt I'll be back before the
troopers get here.
LOGAN
Maybe you ought to wait here till they do.
MEEKER
Hey. I got a town full of beer bellies running around in
the dark with shotguns. Who's gonna be next? Somebody's
wife? Somebody's kid?
He cocks his gun.
MEEKER
I can't stand by for that.
He opens the door and leaves. Logan closes the door,
worried.
INT. BEDROOM
Jamie sits up in bed. She looks around, but doesn't see
Rachel. She gets worried.
JAMIE
Rachel?
INT. BASEMENT
Rachel is listening to the radio. She hears a creak behind
her.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Upstairs Kelly is done making coffee and brings it in to
Logan.
KELLY
I thought you might like some coffee.
He continues to rock.
KELLY
Pretty boring out here. I wish they'd fix the power.
She sets the coffee down on the table.
KELLY
Least we'd have some MTV while we wait for the calvary.
She picks up some matches and lights one. Carefully, so not
to extinguish the flame, she lights the candle. And she
screams. Logan's dead body is in the corner, blood
splattered on his face. Kelly turns to the man in the
chair. He stands up and turns to her.
It's MICHAEL!
He slowly advances for her. Kelly screams and backs up.
Michael brings the shotgun back and rams it right through
Kelly, lifting her up and ramming her against the wall. The
shotgun enters the wall, pinning Kelly's lifeless body
against it.
INT. BASEMENT
Rachel is listening to the radio. It suddenly crackles and
Frank Bute comes on.
FRANK
Haddonfield, we should have cars dispatched in 5 minutes.
ETA 35 minutes, Over.
Rachel grabs the mike and brings it up to her face.
RACHEL
Ah, okay, great. We'll be waiting.
FRANK
Ah ten-four over.
RACHEL
Ah, over and out.
Rachel puts the mike down and heads for the stairs. She
looks behind her one last time to make sure Frank doesn't
decide to speak again. Then she goes up the stairs.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Rachel looks around. Logan's rocking chair is empty. She
isn't bothered by this and shouts.
RACHEL
Deputy Logan?
When she receives no reply, Rachel's happy demeanor
evaporates.
RACHEL
Deputy?
She looks around and sees Deputy Logan's bloodied corpse by
the table. She turns and sees Kelly's lifeless corpse
dangling from the wall.
RACHEL
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
She heads for the stairs.
RACHEL
Jamie!!! Jamie!!
She starts up the stairs but trips. She quickly gets up and
sprints the rest of the way up. She reaches the door to the
bedroom and looks inside.
JAMIE'S GONE!
RACHEL
Oh God! Oh God!
Rachel goes hysterical. She runs down the stairs and bumps
into Brady.
BRADY
What the hell is going on?
Rachel starts back up the stairs.
RACHEL
I've gotta find Jamie.
Brady grabs her and starts pulling her toward the door.
BRADY
No, no, we have to get out of here right now.
RACHEL
Not without Jamie.
BRADY
Look.
He point to Logan's corpse.
BRADY
You think she stands a chance?
RACHEL
She's not dead!
Brady rushes over to the door and tries to open it. But
it's locked and the key is nowhere to be found.
BRADY
Is there another key?
RACHEL
I don't know!
Brady rushes over to Rachel.
BRADY
Get out of the way, get out of the way.
He raises the shotgun and shoots the door twice. He rushes
over to the door. He touches the knob but pulls it away
quickly. He goes back over to Rachel.
BRADY
Its metal, god dammit its metal.
RACHEL
What does that mean?
BRADY
We're trapped in this house.
They start up the stairs. Rachel looks up and sees Jamie
come out of a door.
RACHEL
Jamie!
JAMIE
Oh Rachel!
Rachael runs up the stairs to Jamie and hugs her.
BRADY
Rachel!
Rachel releases Jamie and runs to the stairs. She looks
down.
Michael is in the living room, standing behind the
fireplace.
RACHEL
Brady!
BRADY
Get back!
RACHEL
Brady!
BRADY
No. You son of a bitch!
Brady aims the gun at Michael, who is slowly walking up the
steps. He pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. No bullet
comes out.
BRADY
Shit!
RACHEL
Brady! Come with us.
BRADY
Go!
RACHEL
Brady!
BRADY
Get up there Rachel!
Brady fumbles with the bullets, not able to get them in the
shotgun.
BRADY
Shit!
Michael continues climbing the stairs, with each step
getting closer...
RACHEL
Brady!
BRADY
Get up there Rachel!
RACHEL
Brady! Come with us! Brady!
BRADY
Go!
Brady has one bullet in, he tries to hurriedly put in
another.
RACHEL & JAMIE
Brady!
BRADY
Go!
Brady puts the bullet in and snaps the chamber closed. He
turns to aim, but Michael is already upon him. Michael
grabs Brady by the shoulders. Brady fires, but the shot
goes wide and hits the wall. Michael throws Brady against
the wall. He hits hard and slumps down. Jamie tries to pull
Rachel away.
JAMIE
Rachel come on.
RACHEL
No.
JAMIE
Come on.
Brady looks up at Rachel.
BRADY
Shit.
He grabs the shotgun and stands up. He hits Michael on the
head with the butt of the gun. He swings again but Michael
grabs the gun. They struggle for a second before Michael
slams it into Brady's face. Brady falls back onto the
floor. Michael tosses the gun over the railing. It lands
with a thud on the living room floor.
Brady stands up and walks over to Michael. His nose is
bleeding. He rears back his hand and punches Michael right
in the face. Brady pulls back his arm and takes another
swing, but Michael grabs it. He pulls back and we hear
bones crunching. Brady screams in agony. With his other
hand, Michael grabs Brady's throat and starts to lift him
off the floor...
Michael releases Brady's hand and wraps his other hand
around Brady's throat. Brady tries to spit in Michael's
face, but he misses and it lands off to the side. Michael
starts pushing his finger into Brady's cheek. Brady screams
in agony. Michael's finger digs deeper into Brady's cheek.
We hear a crunching sound.
INT. ATTIC
Rachel and Jamie stop at the platform to the attic. Rachel
looks back and shouts.
RACHEL
Leave us alone, just leave us alone.
They run up the rest of the stairs. Rachel looks around and
sees a suitcase.
RACHEL
Jamie!
Rachel throws the suitcase onto the platform. Jamie grabs
something and throws it down too. They continue picking up
items and throwing them onto the platform until it's
cluttered with junk. Rachel grabs Jamie and moves her
farther into the attic.
Michael reaches the platform, but he's blocked by all the
junk.
Jamie lets out a small gasp when she hears Michael. Rachel
looks around. She starts pushing Jamie in a certain
direction.
RACHEL
Go! Go!
Michael is starting to clear a path through all the stuff
in his way...
RACHEL
Come on! Come on!
Michael has cleared a path and starts walking up the very
few steps that are left...
Rachel and Jamie come to a window, but it's locked.
JAMIE
Rachel!
Michael stops for a second. He notices a tin can full of
knives. He grabs the biggest, sharpest one and continues
toward Jamie and Rachel...
RACHEL
Jamie, get down. Get down.
Rachel grabs a suitcase and uses it to smash out the
window. She throws the suitcase out onto the roof and bends
down.
RACHEL
Get on my back Jamie. Get on, hold on.
Jamie climbs onto Rachel's back. Very carefully, Rachel
steps out of the window and onto the roof.
EXT. OUTSIDE/ROOF
Rachel looks down and sees how far she is to the ground. If
they fall and hit the pavement, they're dead. She grabs
onto a pipe jutting up from the roof and uses it to pulls
herself up. Slowly, she moves her way up the roof. Every
few seconds Jamie looks behind them to see if Michael is
following.
Rachel reaches the very top of the roof. She tries to reach
for the arched part of the roof, but misses. She tries
again, but still doesn't make it. As she reaches out again,
a shingle her foot was on comes loose and they go sliding
back down the roof. Rachel grabs onto the pipe to stop her
descent. Jamie starts to slide off her back. Rachel grabs
her and pulls her up.
RACHEL
Grab on, Jamie.
Jamie gets onto Rachel's back. Rachel starts up the roof
once again. This time, she grabs a black cord to steady
her. Jamie gets off Rachel's back and looks behind them.
She screams.
Michael is pulling himself up onto the roof. Rachel grabs
Jamie, and, using the cord, climbs over to the far side of
the roof. Rachel lifts Jamie up and over.
RACHEL
I'm gonna lower you to the chimney, okay Jamie?
JAMIE
I can't.
RACHEL
Well try dammit!
She starts to lower Jamie. Suddenly, Michael appears!
JAMIE
Rachel!
Jamie slips and slides down to the chimney. Rachel looks
behind her and takes a swipe at her with his knife. Rachel
barely dodges. By this time, Jamie is already to the
chimney. Michael takes another swipe at Rachel. Rachel
rolls down the roof and hits the chimney. She gets up and
faces Jamie. She gets the cord and ties it around Jamie.
RACHEL
I'm gonna lower you down Jamie okay?
Jamie climbs over the edge.
JAMIE
Rachel!
RACHEL
I've got you come on, go down.
JAMIE
Rachel!
Rachel
I've got you Jamie.
She starts to slowly lower Jamie down the side of the
house.
JAMIE
I've got you, I've got you.
Jamie is dangling above the ground, her clown mask pushed
to the side of her neck. She struggles, her legs flailing
in the air.
Rachel continues to lower Jamie when Michael suddenly
appears! She lets go of the cable, making Jamie drop about
halfway down. Rachel rolls out of the way as Michael takes
a swipe at her with his knife. He places his hand on the
chimney for support. He again takes a swipe at Rachel,
causing her to roll to the edge of the roof.
Michael slowly heads for her. Rachel dangles above the
ground, her hands holding onto the roof for dear life. She
starts to slowly move to the side, away from Michael.
Jamie grabs onto the ledge of the house and hoists herself
onto it.
Michael swings his knife at Rachel, causing her to lose her
grip. She plummets to the ground.
RACHEL
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
THUD! Michael stands there, breathing heavily, just staring
at Rachel's unmoving body.
CUT TO:
Jamie climbs the rest of the way down and runs over to
Rachel.
JAMIE
(crying)
Oh please come alive Rachel, please come alive. You can't
be dead. Come alive Rachel!
Jamie lays her head on Rachel's shoulder and begins
sobbing. Michael appears at the side of the house. Jamie
glances over at him, then at Rachel. She looks back at
Michael and begins to run.
JAMIE
Help! Please, somebody help me! Help! Please! Somebody help
me!
Jamie runs by house after house, calling for help. She
looks behind her, sees Michael appear from behind a bush,
and runs faster. She trips, gets back up, and continues
running.
CUT TO:
Rachel, laying on the ground. She moves slightly.
CUT TO:
Jamie. She's no longer running. She's walking slowly,
looking around. Suddenly, she sees something off screen and
begins running. But, before she gets anywhere, she runs
into Dr. Loomis. He grabs her, tries to comfort her.
LOOMIS
What are you doing out here alone?
JAMIE
Everybody's dead. I just wanna go home.
LOOMIS
Oh no you can't. I've just been there. That's the first
place he'll look for you. Where's the school house? Where
is the school house?
JAMIE
It's over there.
She points to somewhere behind Loomis.
LOOMIS
Come on. Come we'll be safe there.
EXT. SCHOOL
Dr. Loomis and Jamie walk over to the doors. Loomis grabs
Jamie and holds her tight as he raises his gun and fires
four times at the door. He and Jamie walk up the steps.
When he opens the door, the alarms go off. Dr. Loomis and
Jamie enter the school, closing the door behind them.
INT. SCHOOL
Loomis and Jamie walk up the steps. Loomis tries the first
door he comes across, but it's locked.
LOOMIS
We'll hear sirens soon.
JAMIE
Then we'll be safe?
LOOMIS
Yeah.
He tries another door, but it's locked too.
JAMIE
You don't believe that do you?
LOOMIS
No.
They hug. Loomis turns to leave when Michael appears,
grabbing Loomis and throwing him through a door, breaking
the glass and the door. Jamie screams and runs down the
hall, trying to open the doors. She comes to the last door
and tries to open it, but it's locked. She pounds on it.
JAMIE
Oh, oh. Somebody help me!
She walks over to the end of the hall and crouches, putting
her arms over her face.
JAMIE
No.
She begins sobbing. When nothing happens, she looks down
the hall. There's no sign of Michael. Jamie slowly stands
up. She looks around her, not believing that Michael is
really gone. She starts to slowly walk down the hall,
peering into every corner, every dark room. Michael could
be anywhere. She comes to split in the hallway. On one
side, stairs leading down to an entrance and another
hallway. On the other, stairs leading to the second floor.
JAMIE
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Michael stands on the steps, knife in hand. Jamie begins to
run down the other steps but she trips and tumbles down the
steps, landing with a soft thud. She looks up at the top of
the stairs and she sees Michael begin to slowly descend
them. Jamie starts to crawl away, but Michael's hand grabs
her leg, pulling her back. She screams just as
RACHEL APPEARS,
a fire extinguisher in her hand. She begins to spray
Michael with it. He is instantly covered in smoke. He holds
his hands up, trying to ward it off. Rachel continues
spraying Michael.
EXT. SCHOOL
A truck with Earl, Al and two other hillbillies comes down
the road. One guy bangs on the roof to get Earl's
attention.
GUY
In the school. Pull over Earl.
They pull up to the school. They all pile out of the truck
when Rachel comes out, carrying Jamie. They rush over to
her.
EARL
What's going on here? We heard the alarm.
RACHEL
He's inside.
GUY
Jesus. Where?
RACHEL
In the school.
INT. SCHOOL
Michael is gone...
EXT. SCHOOL
They all discuss what to do.
GUY
Let's get this bastard.
JAMIE
No! He'll kill you too.
RACHEL
We have to get out of Haddonfield, the state police at on
their way let them handle it.
GUY
I don't know about you Earl, but that makes sense to me.
Lets get the hell out.
AL
He's not our patient. Let the troopers have him. That's
what they get paid for.
GUY
Screw it. Lets get out of here. Al.
Al takes Jamie from Rachel while the others pile into the
truck. Al opens the passenger side door and put Jamie down
next to Earl.
EXT. ROAD
The truck flies along the road, the hillbillies lights
shining into the night. They pass a sign saying "WELCOME TO
HADDONFIELD. HOME OF THE HUSKERS."
INT. TRUCK
Jamie sits in Rachel's lap, both tired and hungry. Earl
glances at them, then back at the road.
EXT. TRUCK
Two hillbillies have their guns and lights propped up on
the roof of the truck, keeping an eye out. Al sits by the
tailgate.
INT. TRUCK
Earl reaches for the CB. He talks into it.
EARL
(into radio)
Okay everybody, listen up. I've got Rachel Corruthers and
her sister in the truck, and I'm taking them outta town
route 410. State police are on the way. Got that?
GUY
(Through radio)
Got it Earl.
EARL
Okay, out.
EXT. ROAD
A long line of cop cars comes speeding down the road,
sirens blazing.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel looks at Jamie, happy to have her safe. Earl looks
out the front window and sees the long line of cop cars. He
turns to Rachel.
EARL
Here comes the calvary now.
EXT. TRUCK
One hillbilly swings his flashlight back and forth while
the other fires his shotgun into the night. All the cars go
by except one. It stops and waits for Earl to pull up. The
COP gets out of his car.
COP
Coming outta Haddonfield?
EARL
Yeah right outta the elementary school, taking these kids
to safety.
COP
Okay, there's a highway patrol substation about 4 miles
down the highway. You'll see the turnoff signs. Now we've
got officers on duty, they'll take care of you.
EARL
Thanks.
Earl puts his foot on the gas and drives away.
INT. TRUCK
Earl looks over at Rachel and Jamie.
EARL
You'll be okay.
Rachel tries to manage a smile.
EXT. TRUCK
Al sits near the tailgate, watching the road behind them.
The other two hillbillies keep their eyes on the road ahead
of them.
INT. TRUCK
POV
We are seeing from behind Earl. The road ahead is foggy and
nothing is certain.
EXT. TRUCK
CLOSE ON:
The tailgate. Suddenly, Michael's hand appear, then the
other one with the knife. He begins to haul himself up into
the bed of the truck. None of them notice Michael until
it's too late. One hillbilly turns, and tries to hit
Michael with his shotgun, but Michael grabs it and stabs
him in the back with the knife.
Michael throws his body down just as Al gets up. Michael
stabs him in the side, and throws his body against the
tailgate. The tailgate busts open and Al's and the
hillbilly's bodies go tumbling off the truck and onto the
road.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel, Earl, and Jamie are completely oblivious to what's
happening to the three hillbillies.
EXT. TRUCK
Michael throws the last hillbilly off of the truck. He goes
rolling down the hill.
INT. TRUCK
Earl is getting nervous. He heard some noises. He looks out
the back window when
MICHAEL'S HAND BREAKS THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW
and latch on to Earl's neck. His fingers dig deep into
Earl's neck, drawing blood. Jamie and Rachel scream as
Michael twists Earl's neck open.
EXT. ROAD
The truck swerves dangerously, Michael on the roof.
INT. TRUCK
Jamie falls into the floorboard, screaming. Rachel pushes
Earl's body aside and gets behind the wheel.
EXT. TRUCK
It swerves, Michael still clinging to the top.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel opens the door and pushes Earl's body out.
EXT. TRUCK
Earl's lifeless body flies out of the truck and rolls down
the hill.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel reaches over to the door and closes it. Jamie still
hides in the floorboards.
EXT. TRUCK
Michael swings his hand inside the truck, trying to grab
Rachel. She whips the wheel this way and that, trying to
make Michael fall off.
INT. TRUCK
Michael's hand swings into the truck. Rachel tries to avoid
it while maintaining control over the truck.
EXT. TRUCK
Michael swerves from side to side, barely hanging on.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel jerks the wheel to the right.
EXT. TRUCK
Michael almost falls off, but he manages to keep his grip.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel jerks the wheel, causing Jamie to fall into the
floorboard and hit her head.
RACHEL
Jamie!
Rachel continues to jerk the wheel.
EXT. TRUCK
It moves to the right, then the left. Michael's body is
thrown every which way.
INT. TRUCK
Michael's hand reaches into the truck and grabs hold of
Rachel's sweater. Rachel fights free, but Michael rips her
sweater. She screams.
EXT. TRUCK
It swerves all over the road.
INT. TRUCK
Michael's face smashes into the front windshield. Rachel
screams and pushes down on the brakes. Jamie falls back
into the floorboards.
EXT. TRUCK
Michael goes flying off the truck. He rolls onto the road.
INT. TRUCK
Jamie slowly peeks over the seat. Rachel looks out the
window and sees Michael slowly stand up. She messes with
the gear shift.
RACHEL
Die you son of a bitch.
She steps on the gas, and the truck goes forward at a fast
rate, knocking into Michael. He goes flying into the air
and lands on the ground near a mine. The truck rolls down
the hill.
INT. TRUCK
Rachel presses the brakes, praying that the truck will
stop.
EXT. TRUCK
The truck comes to a stop. Through the window we see Rachel
sigh.
EXT. ROAD
The police cars comes speeding down the road, heading for
Rachel and Jamie.
CLOSE ON:
Michael's hand. It still has a grip on the knife. Slowly,
the grip loosens.
INT. TRUCK
Jamie stares at Michael, fascinated.
RACHEL
Jamie, I want you to stay right here in the truck.
EXT. ROAD
Meeker is the first one to arrive. Rachel races over to
him.
RACHEL
Sheriff Meeker, we killed him.
MEEKER
Calm down. Calm down. Are you all right? Are you all right?
Rachel nods.
MEEKER
Where's Jamie?
CUT TO:
Jamie. She kneels down beside Michael. She takes his hand
and holds it, looking at the scars caused by the fire.
MEEKER
Jamie! Get away!
RACHEL
Don't touch him Jamie!
Jamie drops his hand and turns to them.
CLOSE ON:
Michael's hand. It grabs the knife.
NORMAL VIEW
Michael sits up.
MEEKER
Get down!
Jamie jumps to the ground just as Michael gets to his feet.
Meeker pulls the trigger on his shotgun and BAM! a bullet
hits Michael dead on. He's knocked back. The other cops and
hillbillies open fire, creating a dazzling display of
light. Bullet after bullet slams into Michael, causing him
to step back. A few bullets hit the ground around Michael,
but most hit home. Rachel covers her ears as the sounds of
bullets being fired echoes all around her. Meeker takes
aim, and fires, his bullet knocking Michael back. More and
more bullets rain down on Michael, causing one of the most
terrifying killers ever to stumble backwards, until he
slips and falls down an abandoned mine shaft, hopefully to
his death.
The guns go quiet as everybody realizes that Michael is
gone. Meeker breaths deeply, satisfied. No human could have
survived that onslaught of bullets. No one. Wood and dirt
crumble into the mine, burying Michael.
EXT. CORRUTHERS' HOUSE - NIGHT - LATER
Everything is quiet. Peaceful.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Richard and Darlene hug Jamie and Rachel when they walk in,
escorted by Meeker.
RICHARD
Oh, babies.
Meeker walks over to the front door and opens it. Loomis
limps in.
MEEKER
It's over.
LOOMIS
Yes. Michael Myers is in hell, buried, where he belongs.
Meeker sits down in a chair.
MEEKER
These kids aren't likely to forget.
LOOMIS
They've survived this ordeal, they'll survive it's memory.
Rachel is completely exhausted, dried blood caked to her
face.
DARLENE
I'm going to take Jamie upstairs.
She puts her hand on Richard's knee.
DARLENE
(cont'd)
Stay with Rachel.
(to Jamie)
Come on honey.
INT. BATHROOM
Darlene turns on the water, letting it fill the tub.
INT. HALLWAY
POV
The person looks at a darkened room, then down the hall. It
turns right and looks into a small bathroom. A pair of
scissors lays on the sink. They're picked up by someone off
screen. The POV returns to the hallway.
INT. BATHROOM
The tub is halfway full. Darlene, in a robe, lays two
towels down on the edge of the tub.
INT. HALLWAY
POV
Suddenly, a mask slides onto the person's face. We are now
only seeing through the two eye holes. We make our way to
the end of the hall. We turn, and stare at Darlene, hunched
over the tub. She looks over at the person.
INT. STAIRS
DARLENE
(o.s.)
Ahhhhhhhh!!!
Loomis comes hobbling up the steps, then stops.
LOOMIS
No. No!
Jamie stands at the top of the stairs, a bloody pair of
scissors held in her hand. Her costume is flecked with
blood...
LOOMIS
No! No! No! No!
He raises his gun to shoot her.
LOOMIS
No!
Suddenly, Meeker jumps at him, knocking the gun out of his
hand. Loomis falls to the ground, sobbing. Meeker grabs his
gun and points it, but can only stare when he sees that
it's Jamie. Richard comes up the stairs, quickly followed
by Rachel. They both stop, stunned.
CLOSE ON:
Jamie. She raises the scissors into the air.
CUT TO BLACK!!!!
