In 1978, Michael Myers murdered 4 teens, (one being Laurie Strode) and escaped that night. He returned in 1987 and soon vanished. 10 years later, the mayor believes he will return out of revenge and offers 2 students to make a Halloween party at the City Hall that would get the town's attention to keep them off the streets. The leads then begin to learn more about Michael as an urban legend until he begins to stalk them.
