The Evolution Of The Halloween Series
The Halloween series has seen multiple timelines, each with its unique twists and turns. The most recent timeline, which began with the 2018 film, marked the series’ 40th anniversary. In this rendition, Laurie Strode, portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis, remains in Haddonfield, haunted by the thought of Michael Myers escaping his confinement. Unlike previous versions, Laurie has a daughter named Karen and a granddaughter named Allyson. The 2018 film sees Michael Myers escaping and causing chaos once again, only to be trapped by the three generations of Strode women.
However, Michael’s reign of terror doesn’t end there. In Halloween Kills, he escapes and goes on another killing spree, leading to a climactic confrontation with Laurie’s daughter, Karen. The story culminates in Halloween Ends, where a new character, Corey Cunningham, becomes intertwined with Michael’s dark world. As the story unfolds, Laurie and Allyson must confront not only Michael but also the new threat posed by Corey.
