It’s hard to justify the return of Michael Myers, the looming boogeyman who made his first appearance in 1978’s Halloween. In 2018, after ten Halloween movies in that forty-year span (some outright sequels, others attempted reboots), Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is back for Halloween. One would think those forty years would have given the town of Haddonfield a sense of clarity or compassion toward Laurie’s enduring trauma, but that’s not the case.
