Halloween Kills (2021)

In the sequel to 2018's Halloween, Halloweek Kills sees the Strode family minutes after they left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in their basement; Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor. But his ritual bloodbath resumes when Michael manages to survive. The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael's first rampage, deciding to take matters into their own hands to end Haddonfield's killer once and for all.
