SUPERIMPOSE: October 31 st, 2002 FADE IN: INT- HADDONFIELD HOSPITAL- MORGUE- NIGHT A body bag is wheeled into the morgue where a young female CORONER is waiting to perform the autopsy. CORONER: Oh no- another one? ORDERLY: It’s your lucky night, you got a celebrity on your hands. CORONER: Let me get my autograph book. ORDERLY: I’m not kidding, it’s Michael Myers. Startled, she turns. ORDERLY: (leaving) Be sure to get me a copy of that autograph. CORONOR: (with hesitation) Oh yeah, sure. The orderly laughs and walks out of the room, pulling the stretcher behind him. The coroner unzips the body-bag and looks at the charred mask melted to the SHAPE’S face. CORONER: Ick. She turns to reach for her scalpel.

floor. The orderly runs in, and bends down to check for a pulse. ORDERLY: Fuck. He runs from the morgue and grabs the phone on the wall. He dials 911. ORDERLY: Get me the police! HURRY! EXT- HADDONFIELD HOSPITAL- CONTINUOUS The Halloween theme plays as we see the SHAPE walk off into the dark wooded lot behind the morgue. FADE OUT: The screen fades to black. TITLES BEGIN The screen is black. The credits roll. An orange rendering of HALLOWEEN appears on the screen. Beneath it, a smaller orange rendering of THE DESTINY OF MICHAEL MYERS appears. The renderings slowly vanish. TITLES END The screen is black for a few moments. SUPERIMPOSE: October 30 th, 2006 FADE IN: EXT- WOODS- NIGHT The screen fades to a dark sky scarcely illuminated by the full moon. The camera pans down to a camp site. Four teens are seated on logs, surrounding the fire, toasting marshmallows with wodden sticks. RICK, 21, pokes his marshmallow toasting into the fire. He pulls it away from the fire to see it is burned. He takes the two graham crackers smothered in chocolate, and places the marshmallow between them. He takes a bite.

RICK:

I love these things. EMILY, 20, turns to him as she toasts her marshmallow into the fire. EMILY: You say that every time we go camping. RICK: Well, they’re good. One reason why I love camping. ROB, 21, and MARIE, 19, toast their marshmallows into the fire. MARIE: Hey, isn’t this place where what’s his face was last seen? ROB: Who? MARIE: ... Michael Myers. Rick and Emily stop. EMILY: Oh, knock it off, Marie! Michael Myers is dead. He wouldn’t be hiding in a place like this. RICK: (sarcastic) How would you know? ROB: I only remember bits and pieces of the story. Can you tell me the whole thing? MARIE: Sure. Michael Myers killed his sister in nineteen sixty-three,

Shut up Rick! Heard enough scary Stories for once. RICK: You need to lighten up and take a joke. EMILY: Well I’m just tired of hearing that shit. OK? Rick shoves the last mouthful of his smore into his mouth. He chews it for a few moments before swallowing. He suddenly yawns. RICK: I don’t know about you guys... But I’m gonna get some sleep. Rick gets up and heads to the adjacent tent. EMILY: Wait for me, Rick. Emily gets up and pursues Rick into the tent. Rob and Marie sit there, gazing at the hot fire. MARIE: So, Rob... how do you like it in Russellville? ROB: It’s all right. I just gotta get used to it. MARIE: You’ll like it after a while. Rob turns to her and cracks a smile. He nods in acknowledgement. THE SHAPE’S POV From behind a tree, Rob and Marie are seen seated on the log, facing the fire. After a few moments, heavy breathing can be heard.

END POV

Marie gets up and heads for the other tent. Rob turns to her. ROB: You going to sleep? MARIE: Yeah... You coming? Marie winks her one eye. Rob smiles. ROB: Yeah. Rob gets up and pursues Marie into the tent. Before they step in, the sound of a small ROCK TUMBLING is heard. They stop, frightened. MARIE: What was that? ROB: I don’t know... (calling for Rick) Rick! Rick appears from behind the tent opening. RICK: What? MARIE: We thought we heard something out there. RICK: Oh it was probably an owl. MARIE: This was no owl, Rick! Rick sighs, perturbed.

I wanted to come with you. RICK: No, don’t. I’m fine. EMILY: But Rick... Rick cuts her off. RICK: NO!... Go back with the others. I don’t need your help. Emily scowls at Rick. EMILY: (perturbed) Fine. She turns and heads back to the camp site. The camera pans to the back of Rick. After a moment, an ARM reaches around him, covering his mouth. The other arm plunges a KNIFE through Rick’s neck. After a moment, the SHAPE drops Rick to the ground. The Shape heads after Emily. ON EMILY Emily walks through the woods, keeping her flashlight in ahead of her. Suddenly, FOOTSTEPS behind her can be heard. She stops, frightened. She slowly turns around. Nothing. She exhales in relief. She turns around to find the SHAPE upon her. The Shape gazes at her with his dark, cold eyes. EMILY’S POV The Shape raises his blood-stained knife, and slashes it across the screen. END POV

CUT TO:

CAMP SITE

Rob and Marie gaze out into the woods. MARIE: Where the hell are they? ROB: I don’t know. Maybe they’re just fucking around. A sudden ROCK TUMBLING noise can be heard. The two stop, frightened. They turn. Nothing. They sigh in relief. As they turn forward, they find the SHAPE upon them. The Shape plunges the knife into Rob’s chest, sending him to the ground. Marie runs, screaming as the Shape stabs Rob numerously. WOODS Marie runs through the woods, petrified. She trips over a tree branch, and lands forward. She slowly gets up to look behind her. Nothing. She turns to find empty woods. She slowly walks through. After a few moments, she stops. She turns to find the SHAPE upon here. The Shape GRASPS her throat. She SCREAMS in terror. Her scream is silenced by the knife through her cheek. The Shape rips it through her face before dropping her to the ground. As she lies there, the Shape gazes at her corpse, breathing heavily. FADE OUT: The screen fades to black. Darkness. INT- MOYER HOUSE- NIGHT

MR. MOYER:

MOYER: OK, Sara, but just remember, if you have a problem tell us, it’ll feel much better. SARA: OK Dad. I promise. MRS. MOYER: (still unconvinced) So Sara, is there anything Exciting going on at school today? SARA: I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to have a Halloween party. MR. MOYER: That’s not too much of a surprise, I know Haddonfield High School hasn’t had one in a long time. SARA: Neither has my school, not that I can remember. MRS. MOYER: Are you going to go Sara?

Sara hesitates. SARA: Uh… I guess so. There’s a sudden KNOCK on the door. SARA: I’ll get it. She opens the door. There stands MYLES (DECKARD), early 20s. SARA: Hey, what’s goin’ on? MYLES: Hey Sara, there’s going to be a Halloween party tonight at school. Wanna come? Sara looks down, disturbed. SARA: I don’t know Myles. It’s just that… Myles cuts her off. MYLES: Look Sara, I know how you feel, but he’s not going to be there, he’s gone, hasn’t been seen in years. SARA: I know that, but I just… I got bad feelings. MYLES: Sara I promise you, it’ll be fine. Chill out, have some fun. SARA: Well… Ok.

Mrs. Moyer hesitates. MRS. MOYER: Right. INT- SMITH’S GROVE SANITARIUM- DAY Three doctors walk in a conference room. Following them is TERENCE WYNN, mid 60s. They take their seats at a rectangular conference table. WYNN: Good morning gentlemen. Any updates on Michael Myers? DOCTOR 1 : No, not yet, we searched behind Haddonfield Hospital, where he was last seen. We still have no update on where he is. WYNN: Well we should try a double search. Find Jamie Lloyd’s child. Who else is there? DOCTOR 1 : John Tate, his wife Molly, and their son Bobby Tate. WYNN: All right. Find them as well. DOCTOR 2: Doctor Wynn, we don’t know where John, his wife and son are right now. WYNN: What happened there? Why can’t you find them? DOCTOR 3: We don’t know sir, they just have been moving around to different towns and states between Haddonfield and California every while.

WYNN:

How about you find the others first, then we find the Tates. All right? DOCTOR 1: Very well, doctor. WYNN: So here it goes: First we find Michael, then his family, and the ones who protect them. DOCTOR 1: I think that’s the best way to find them, Doctor Wynn. WYNN: The others are still with them, right? Danny Strode and his mother? DOCTOR 2: Yes, Doctor. They’re still alive. To my knowledge, they’re back in Haddonfield. WYNN: (with a smirk) Good. DOCTOR 1: We will find them and bring them here as soon as possible. WYNN: I’ll see what we’ll do with the ones who protect Michael’s family. (with a smirk) Especially... that Tommy Doyle, he knows A lot of what we don’t want him to know. DOCTOR 3: We’ll find them, we’ll make sure all of them are with us. WYNN: Good. That also goes for anybody who gets in your way as well.

JOHN:

Yes I do, for God sakes he killed my mother. Who knows where he is now. He could be looking for me. I just… I just want to find Tommy and his family, and my nephew. Help them end this shit once and for all. Molly gazes down before exhaling. MOLLY: (reluctant) Well, in that case, I think we should find them and stay with them. Tommy SHOULD know how to stop Michael. JOHN: I don’t know about that. I read all of those files and found nothing. MOLLY: Well maybe they DID know sometime after he killed your sister. JOHN: Yeah, probably. But if that’s true, then why isn’t it in there? The one files dates all the way up to 1977 and they found no answers. MOLLY: Well, maybe Tommy would know. JOHN: I don’t know, I don’t care, all I care about is killing him once and for all. That’s all I want to do. I don’t want my son to suffer through this when he’s older. This has to end. I want to go about my life as a normal guy. MOLLY: I know John. I agree one hundred percent. I just don’t want anything to happen to you or Bobby.

JOHN:

Well, I’m sure when we find Tommy, he’ll keep us safe. John grasps Molly’s hand. JOHN: Molly, I swear to God, whatever happens to me, I will never… ever… let Michael get a hold of you and Bobby.
