Laurie Strode struggles to come to terms with her brother Michael's deadly return to Haddonfield, Illinois; meanwhile, Michael prepares for another reunion with his sister.
Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers (Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney), the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
Initial promotional photos for the film displayed Jamie Lee Curtis with the same short haircut she had worn in previous roles, including Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998); in the finished film, she has long hair as Laurie had in the original Halloween (1978). See more »

How did Dana and Aaron get Michael's original mask for an interview with him? It was confiscated, presumably when he was arrested, and would be forever locked up in an evidence locker so that two reporters wouldn't be able to simply grab it. This would be the real-life equivalent of trying to get John Wayne Gacy's Clown costume from the evidence locker for whatever reason. See more »

The movie geeks who saw this early have been overpraising this to the skies. What i saw was an adequate revival with Jamie Lee doing her best with a totally unbelievable, over the top survivalist version of Laurie Strode, sequences taken whole cloth from the original and the myriad sequels, and strange moments of comedy that belonged in another movie and created weird tone issues. I might be alone in this but H20 was a far superior Laurie vs Michael rematch.
