On a cold Halloween night, masked homicidal maniac Michael Myers escapes from prison and sets out on a new killing spree. While his prey is unsuspecting babysitters, his true desire is to once again confront his sister, Laurie Strode, who blocked his path back to terrorizing Haddonfield decades earlier. When a pair of shuttlecocks and a twisted trail of Halloween decorations lead Laurie to the maniac's homecoming route, it becomes obvious to the hardened survivor that her nightmare is not yet over.
