After a failed reunion to reach his baby sister at their old home, Laurie Strode is immediately taken to a hospital to be treated by the wounds that had been afflicted by her brother a few hours ago.

Trivia
Character actor Richard Brake garnered his role as coroner's assistant Gary Scott based on a personal recommendation to Rob Zombie from Sid Haig. See more »Goofs
When Laurie and Mya find Annie near death upstairs, Laurie tells Mya to go and call the police. Mya agrees, and slowly walks off screen, as Laurie turns away. The next shot shows Mya sprinting from that spot, with Laurie completely out of sight, not even standing in the door frame. But in the shot after, Laurie is clearly standing in the door frame, which was completely visible in the previous shot. See more »Quotes

The Zombie family, Rob and Sheri Moon, produces an idea of altering the identity of the Halloween killer. The aforesaid Halloween killer, Michael Myers, has become an idol for Laurie. Opening scene of the film shows Laurie at the mental hospital, how she turns out to be a Satanist. Rob Zombie has used a strong grade of Symbolism here at the beginning. There are equivalently systematized delusions in between Laurie's mind and the film itself. Through Laurie's submission of her soul to the Devil, Michael Myers's soul captures her mind to give her enough courage to not to fear. The Satanist symbol of the black star inside a circle is shown several times during Laurie's submission of her soul. Using fear to heal her wounds, she appeals to take revenge.
If you watch the movie with my clues here, you'll have some explanation in your hands. The second scene which starts with the traffic accident that causes Laurie to be delivered to another hospital is the last scene you should watch. Go to the end, up until the closing credits. There are good photography works there like rage with ensuing chaos and destruction; you will realize who killed Laurie. If you have watched the entire movie thinking that Laurie is alive, you would be discouraged so badly at the end. The reason for that is the production of the movie is half-the-way and stands very raw. There are supposed to be more scenes to be cut or relocated. Not only the production phases effect the completion of the movie, it kills the script to become such a nonsense with the imbalance between the plot and storyboard. Basically, this is the main reason why the film doesn't tell you anything.
Even if you just want to watch the murdering scenes, sadly you'll still be disappointed. 'Cause the camera work is terrible and the lighting can't focus you to the action. Plus for some reason every murder scene is interrupted with a funny outlook of a daemon in the delusion of Deborah Myers walking towards the camera with a white horse beside it.
Rob Zombie's film never accomplished anything more than offering ridiculous materials for the next Scary Movie sequel. In my opinion here is the most ridiculous one: That guy is drinking outside of the bar near his light duty truck. Then our delusion hero comes closer to him after committing multiple assassinations with all the screams and clutter happening 10 feet away of him. Our truck driver doesn't panic, he doesn't even pretend to look calm to covertly call the police or something. He thinks he is the Terminator(in this film I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be) and says to our immortal delusion hero: "Look man, don't give me no reason, OK?". Less than a second passed we witnessed his corpse divided into two halves cut right from his belly.
My advise to whomever want to watch this film: Go start work as an undertaker. You'll see less disgusting corpses.
