Just like the original Halloween 2, this one picks up right where we left off - with the Strode women heading to the hospital and Laurie’s house burning down with Michael inside. However, Michael is of course not dead and is back on the rampage once again. Now it’s up to an angry mob of Haddonfield residents, led by characters from the original Halloween, to take Michael down once and for all.
