Two decades after surviving a massacre on October 31, 1978, former baby sitter Laurie Strode finds herself hunted by persistent knife-wielder Michael Myers. Laurie now lives in Northern California under an assumed name, where she works as the headmistress of a private school. But it's not far enough to escape Myers, who soon discovers her whereabouts. As Halloween descends upon Laurie's peaceful community, a feeling of dread weighs upon her -- with good reason.

A breath of fresh air from watching 5 and 6 can’t lie. Seeing Michael actually stalk again and go back to what he did in the original was awesome too. Pretty good entry in the franchise.

One of the better ones in the series. It still has a lot of problems, but the concept was there.
