October 31, 1963

(Through someone else's eyes we are walking towards a house, looking through one of the windows, we see a girl and a guy making out on a couch.)

Guy: We are alone aren't we?

Girl: Michael’s around some place

(The guy puts on a Halloween mask)

Girl: (Laughing) Take off that thing.

Guy: Let’s go upstairs.

Girl: Okay.

(They go up the stairs)

(Once again through these eyes we walk into the house from being outside. We are being
brought through the kitchen, where this persons hand reaches out to get a butcher knife.)

Guy: Look Judy its getting late, I got to go.

(He starts coming down the stairs)

Girl: Will you call me tomorrow?

Guy: Yeah, sure.

Girl: Promise?

Guy: Yeah.

(The guy leaves)

(Once again we are looking through the eyes. We are led up the stairs. This persons hand grabs a mask that was left on the floor and puts it on. There is a faint noise of someone humming but as the top of the stairs get closer the humming gets louder. We enter a room with the girl, Judy in it. She turns around to face this person.)

Judy: (Humming).....Michael!!!!

(Music starts playing and we assume that Judy is being stabbed.)

Judy: Ah Ah Ah Ah......

(Michael looks at Judy’s naked dead body. He then goes out of the room and down the stairs, and outside to the front lawn. His parents have just arrived home and fine him with the bloody butcher knife. It is at this point that we see the persons face, and we see that it is a boy not much older then 6 years of age.)

Father: Michael?!?

Scene II

Smith’s Grove, Illinois

October 30, 1978

(Its a dark and stormy night, and Dr. Loomis and Ms. Chambers are driving to the hospital to remove Michael from it and bring him to another hospital.)

Loomis: You ever done anything like this before?

Chambers: Only minimum security.

Loomis: I see. The driveway is a few yards up on the right.

Chambers: The only thing that ever bothers me is their gibberish. When they start raving on and on and on.

Loomis: You haven’t anything to worry about, he hasn't spoken a word in 15 years.

Chambers: Are there any special instructions?

Loomis: Just try to understand what we’re dealing with here. Don't under estimate it.

Chambers: Don't you think that we could refer to it as him?

Loomis: If you say so.

Chambers: Your passions are overwhelming Dr. (Lights a cigarette) What do I give him when we take him in front of the judge?

Loomis: Throzine.

Chambers: He’ll barely be able to sit up.

Loomis: That’s the idea.

(Loomis notices the matches that Ms. Chambers is using. They have Rabbit In Red printed on them.)

Chambers: Your serious about it aren't you?

Loomis: Yeah.

Chambers: You mean you actually never want him to get out?

Loomis: Never, Never.....Never.

Chambers: Then why are we taking him to Harden County if their just going to let....

Loomis: Because that's the law.....Here we are.

(Music starts. They see all the patients wandering around the lawn of the hospital.)

Chambers: Since when did they let them wonder around?

Loomis: Pull up to the main gate.

Chambers: Shouldn't we.....

Loomis: (Cuts her off) Go on, Move... Stop here.

Chambers: Shouldn't we go on to the hospital and .....

Loomis: (Cuts her off) Wait.

(Loomis gets out of the car. Michael climbs on top of the car and attacks Ms. Chambers, getting her out of the car, and he drives off in it.)

Loomis: Are you all right? Are you all right?

Chambers: Yes, I’m okay.

Loomis: He’s gone. He’s gone from here. The evil is gone.

Scene III

(Music starts. Laurie comes out of her house and starts walking down the road. Soon a man comes out of the same house.)

Man: Don't forget to drop the key off at the Myers place.

Laurie: I won't.

Man: They're coming by to look at the house at 10:30. Be sure to leave it under the mat.

Laurie: Promise.

(Laurie continues he walk to the Myers house. A little boy comes up to her and walks with her.)

Boy: Laurie!

Laurie: Hi Tommy.

Tommy: You coming over tonight?

Laurie: Same time, same place.

Tommy: Can we make jack o’ lanterns?

Laurie: Sure.

Tommy: Can we watch the monster movies?

Laurie: Sure.

Tommy: Will you read to me? Can we make popcorn?

Laurie: Sure, sure, sure.

Tommy: (Laughs) heehee

Laurie: We better hurry up.

Tommy: How come your walking to school this way?

Laurie: My dad asked me to.

Tommy: Why?

Laurie: I have to drop off the key.

Tommy: Why?

Laurie: Cause that's his job.

Tommy: Where?

Laurie: The Myers house.

Tommy: The Myers house?!!?

(They continue walking till they reach a beat up old house.)

Tommy: Your not supposed to go up there.

Laurie: Yes I am.

Tommy: Uh uh, that's the spook house.

Laurie: Just watch.

(Laurie goes to place the key to the house under the mat on the front porch. A shadow appears from behind the door, but they do not see it. Laurie walks back to the sidewalk where Tommy is waiting for her.)

Tommy: Lonnie Lamb said never to go up there. Lonnie Lamb said that's a haunted house, he said that awful stuff happened there once.

Laurie: Lonnie Lamb probably wont get out of the sixth grade.

Tommy: I got to go, I'll see you tonight.

Laurie: Bye.

Tommy: Bye.

(Tommy crosses off the street and Laurie continues walking and singing to herself. A shape appears behind her.)

Laurie: (Singing) I wish I had you all alone, just the two of us. I would hold you close to
me.....(Continues to sing till it fades out and its the next scene.)

Scene IV

(Dr. Loomis and another Doctor outside in the hospital parking lot, discussing Michael.

Doctor: I’m not responsible, Sam.

Loomis: Oh no.

Doctor: I told them how dangerous he was.

Loomis: You couldn't have, two road blocks and an all points bulletin wouldn't stop a five year old.

Doctor: Well he was your patient, Dr. If precautions weren't strong enough, you should have told somebody.

Loomis: I told everybody, nobody listened.

Doctor: There's nothing else I can do.

Loomis: You can get back in there and get back on that telephone, tell them exactly who walked out of here last night, and tell them exactly where he’s going.

Doctor: Probably going.

Loomis: I’m wasting my time.

Doctor: Sam, Haddonfield is 150 miles away from here. Now, now, for god sakes he can’t drive a car.

Loomis: He was doing very well last night, maybe someone round here gave him lessons.

(Loomis gets in his car and drives off)

Scene V
(Laurie is sitting in a classroom)

Teacher: And the book ends. But what Samuels is really talking about here is fate. You see fate caught up with several lives here, no matter what course of action Collins took he was destined to his own fate.

(Music starts. Laurie tunes out the teachers voice while she looks out the window. Out the
window she sees a man standing beside his car with a mask on. He seems to be watching
Laurie.)

Teacher: Laurie?

Laurie: Ma’am...

Teacher: Answer the question.

Laurie: Oh, um, Costine wrote that fate was somehow related to religion. Where as Samuels felt that, well, fate was like a natural element, like earth, air, fire, and water.

Teacher: That's right.

(Laurie looks out the window again, but the man is gone. The teacher keeps talking about how fate never changes.)

Scene VI

(It’s the end of the school day and Tommy is leaving the school yard with a pumpkin and a bunch of kids start teasing him.)

Tommy: Leave Me alone.

Kids: He’s going to get you, he’s going to get you, he’s going to get you, he’s going to get you, he’s going to get you, he’s going to get you.

Kid#1: The Bogeyman is coming.

Tommy: Leave me alone.

Kid#1: He doesn't believe us. Don't you know what happens on Halloween?

Tommy: Yeah, we get candy.

Kid#2: The Bogeyman, oh the bogeyman

(Then all the kids join in saying this. Tommy tries to run away but trips, falls down and splits his pumpkin in half.)

Kids: Haah ha ha

(Tommy runs off and bumps into someone-Michael. The music starts. Tommy runs away and starts walking home. Only Michael follows along side in his car.)

Scene 7

(Dr. Loomis on the side of a highway talking on a pay phone.)

Loomis: He’s on his way.....You’ve got to believe me, Officer. He is coming to
Haddonfield...Because I know him, I’m his doctor. You must be ready for him. If you don't it’s y our
funeral.

(Loomis hangs up the phone. He starts walking towards some trees and bushes along side the phone and railroad tracks. There is a truck with the words Phelps Garage on the side. Inside the truck there are the matches that Ms. Chambers was using. There is also Michael’s hospital gown hanging from a tree branch. Beyond that is a dead man’s naked body.)

( The scene changes to Laurie and her friend Lynda, walking out of the High school)

Lynda: Oh, look at all the books you have. You need a shopping cart to get home. Yeah, not funny. You know it's totally insane. We have 3 new cheers to learn in the morning, the game is in the afternoon, I have to get my hair done at 5, and the dance is at 8. I'll be totally wiped out!

Laurie: I don't think you have enough to do tomorrow.

Lynda: Totally.

Laurie: As usual I have nothing to do.

Lynda: It's your own fault and I don't feel a bit sorry for you.

(a girl runs up behind them)

Annie: Hey, Linda, Laurie, why didn't you wait for me?

Lynda: We did, fifteen minutes. You totally never showed.

Annie: That's not true. Here I am.

Laurie: What's wrong, Annie? You're not smiling.

Annie: I'm never smiling again. Paul dragged me into the boys locker room to--

Laurie: Exploring uncharted territory?

Lynda: Totally charted.

Annie: To just talk.

Lynda: Sure, sure.

Annie: Old Jerko got caught throwing eggs and soaking windows. Parents grounded him. He can't come over tonight.

Laurie: I thought you were baby sitting tonight.

Lynda: The only reason she baby sits is to have a place to--

Laurie: Shit......

Annie: I have a place for that.

Laurie: I forgot my chemistry book.

Lynda: So who cares? I always forget my chemistry book, my English book, and, let's see, my French book, and...Well, who needs books anyway. I don't need books. I always forget all of my books. I mean it doesn't really matter if you have your books or not.

(a car drives past the girls)

Lynda: Hey, isn't that Devon Graham?

Laurie: I don't think so.

Lynda: I think he's cute.

Annie: Hey, jerk! Speed kills!!

(The car comes to a stop a few yards away from them)

Annie: God, can't he take a joke?

(The car drives away)

Laurie: You know Annie, some day you're gonna get us all into deep trouble.

Lynda: Totally.

(The three girls begin walking again)

Annie: I hate a guy with a car and no sense of humor.

Lynda: Well are we still on for tonight?

Annie: I wouldn't want to get you in deep trouble, Lynda.

Lynda: Oh, come on, Annie, Bob and I have been planning on it all week.

Annie: All right. The Wallace’s leave at seven.

Laurie: I'm baby sitting the Doyle’s, it's only three houses down; we can keep each other company.

Annie: Oh, terrific! I have 3 choices. Watch the kids sleep, listen to Lynda play around or talk to you.

Annie: What time tonight?

Lynda: I don't know yet. I have to get out of taking my little brother trick or treating.

Annie: Treats for Bob?

Lynda: Funn-ee. See ya.

Annie & Laurie: Bye.

(Lynda leave to go into her house. Laurie and Annie continue walking. Annie is searching in her bag for
something, Laurie is looking up and sees a man in a mask behind some bushes.

Laurie: Annie, look.

Annie: Look where?

Laurie: Behind the bush.

Annie: I don't see anything.

Laurie: That guy that drove buy so fast? That one you yelled at...

Annie: Oh, suttle, isn't he? (Annie goes over to the bush)

Annie: Hey creep! (sees no one there) ...Laurie, dear. He wants to talk to you. He wants to take you out tonight.

(Laurie comes running over to the bush and sees no one)

Laurie : He was standing right there.

Annie: Poor Laurie. Scared another one away. It's tragic you never go out. You must have a small fortune stashed
from baby sitting so much.

Laurie: Guys think I'm too smart.

Annie: I don't. I think You're whacko. Now you're seeing men behind bushes. (They walk a little further) Well,
home sweet home. See ya later.

Laurie: Bye.

Annie: Bye!

(Laurie continues walking, runs into Sheriff Brackett [Annie's Father] )

Laurie: Oh, Mr. Brackett, I'm sorry Mr. Brackett.

Brackett: Oh, I didn't mean to startle you.

Laurie: I'm sorry.

Brackett: You know it's Halloween. I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare, huh?

Laurie: Yes, sir. Nice seeing you, sir.

(Laurie Keeps walking until se gets to her house. She goes inside and goes to her room, where she looks out the window and sees Michael standing under the clothes line. She looks away and when she looks back her is gone. Then the phone rings.)

Laurie: Hello.

(Funny noise)

Laurie: Hello?

(Funny noise again)

Laurie: Who is this?!

(slams down phone, it rings again)

Laurie: Hello?

Annie: Why'd you hang up on me?

Laurie: Annie? Was that you?

Annie: Of course.

Laurie: Why didn't you say anything, you scared me to death.

Annie: I had my mouth open, couldn't you hear me?

Laurie: I thought it was an obscene phone call.

Annie: Now you're hearing obscene chewing! You're losing it. Laurie.

Laurie: I already lost it.

Annie: I don't doubt that. Listen. my mother's letting me use her car. I'll pick you up. 6:30.

Laurie: Okay. Bye.

Annie: Bye!

(Laurie Hangs up, and lays on bed)

Laurie: (to self) Just calm down. This is ridiculous.

(A few hours later Laurie comes out of her house, with a pumpkin, and some other things, and walks out to the corner of the road to wait for Annie to arrive. Annie shows up and Laurie runs across the street.)

Annie: Hurry Up!

Laurie: Hi.

(The scene changes to Dr. Loomis and a graveyard caretaker, they are walking around the graveyard)

Caretaker: Yeah. Judith Myers. Myers. Row 18, Lot 20. You know every town has something like this happen. I remember over in Russelville, old Charlie Bowles. About 15 years ago. One night he finished dinner, and he excused himself from the table. And he went out into the garage, and he got himself a hacksaw. And then he went
back into the house, kissed his wife and his two children good bye, and then he proceeded--

Loomis: Where are we?

Caretaker: Oh, it's, uh, right over here. Yeah, Myers, Judith Myers. I remember her. Such a young boy.

Loomis: What's a matter, you lost? (There is a empty place where a tombstone should be)

Caretaker: Why do they do it? Damn kids. They'd do anything for Halloween.

Loomis: Whose grave is it?

Caretaker: Oh, I don't know. 18, 19... Judith Myers.

Loomis: He came home.

(The scene changes back to Annie and Laurie in Annie’s Car. The two girls are smoking what seems to be a joint.)

Annie: You still spooked?

Laurie: I wasn't spooked.

Annie: Lie!

Laurie: I wasn't! I saw someone standing in Mr. Riddle's backyard.

Annie: Probably Mr. Riddle.

Laurie: He was watching me.

Annie: Mr. Riddle was watching you? Mr. Riddle is 87!

(the car Michael stole begins following Annie's car)

Laurie: He can still watch.

Annie: It's probably all he can do. What's the pumpkin for?

Laurie: I brought it for Tommy. I thought carving a jack o' lantern would keep him occupied.

Annie: I always said you'd make a fabulous girl scout.

Laurie: Thanks.

Annie: For that matter I might as well be a girl scout myself tonight. I plan on making popcorn and watching Dr. Dimension. Six straight hours of horror movies. (Laurie starts coughing from the smoke she inhaled) Little Lindsay Wallace won't know what hit her. (Laurie is still coughing)

(they are approaching hardware store, and its alarm is going off, Brackett , Annie's father, is outside)

Annie: My Dad!!! Get rid of this. ( Annie hands Laurie the joint) Stop coughing, what’s the matter with you? Just be natural. There he is, just be natural.

(Annie pulls the car up to the hardware store, Mr. Brackett.)

Brackett: Hi Annie, Laurie.

Annie: Hi Dad! What happened?

Brackett: What?

Annie: What happened?!

Brackett: Oh, ah, someone broke into the hardware store, probably kids.

Annie: You blame everything on kids.

Brackett: Well all they took was a Halloween mask, a rope, and a couple of knives. Who do you think it was?

Annie : Hard growing up with a cynical father.

Brackett: Aren't you gonna be late--

Annie: Huh?

(alarm stops)

Brackett: I said aren't you gonna a be late--

Annie: He shouts too.

Brackett: Bye girls.

Annie: Bye Dad!

Laurie: Bye.

(The girls leave and Dr. Loomis comes up to the sheriff)

Loomis: Sheriff! Pardon me, I'm uh, Loomis. Dr. Sam Loomis.

Brackett: I'm Lee Brackett.

Loomis: I'd like to have a word with you if I could.

Brackett: It may be a few minutes, I gotta--

Loomis: It is important.

Brackett: Ten minutes.

Loomis: I'll be here.

(Michael can be seen in the background driving by in the car he stole)

(The scene changes back to Laurie and Annie in the car)

Annie: What’s the matter with you?

Laurie: I think he knew, I’m sure he could smell it.

Annie: No he didn’t.

Laurie: He did. You see the look on his face?

Annie: He always looks like that.

Laurie: What are you gonna wear to the dance tomorrow night?

Annie: I didn't know you thought about things like that, Laurie. You know, you could ask somebody.

Laurie: No, I couldn't.

Annie: Sure you could. All you have to do is go up to somebody and s say you wanna got to the dance?

Laurie: You could do that, I couldn't.

Annie: Well you can ask Dick Baxter, he'd go out with you.

Laurie: I'd rather go out with Ben Tramer.

Annie: Ben Tramer? I knew it! So you do think about things like that, huh Laurie?

Laurie: Shut up.

Annie: He's cute! Ben Tramer!

Laurie: Shh.

(Michael can be seen driving behind them, following them in his car. A few minutes later Annie lets Laurie off at a house and Annie goes to the house across the street. Michael parks the car, gets out and watches Annie.)

(The scene changes to the Myers house. Dr. Loomis, and Mr. Brackett are going into the house.)

Loomis: Does anybody live here?

Brackett: No, not since 1963 when it happened. Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted.

Loomis: They may be right.

Loomis: What is that?

Brackett: It's a dog. It’s still warm.

Loomis: He got hungry.

Brackett: Coulda been a skunk. Man wouldn't do that.

Loomis: This isn't a man.

(The two men go to the upstairs of the house, and into the room that Judith, Michael's sister, was killed in.)

Loomis: It happened in here. She was sitting right here. He could've seen her through this window. Standing on the lawn, he could have seen her--

(broken gutter crashes through window, breaks it. Loomis pulls out gun)

Loomis: You must think me a very sensitive doctor. Oh, I do have a permit. (reaches in coat pocket)

Brackett: Seems to me you're just plan scared.

Loomis: Yeah, I am, ah... I met him 15 years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding, not even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this 6-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face and the blackest eyes. The devil's eyes. I spent 8 years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boys eyes was purely and simply...evil.

Brackett: What do we do?

Loomis: He's been here once tonight. I think he'll come back. I'm going to wait for him.

Brackett: I still think we should notify the radio and television net--

Loomis: No. If you do that they'll see him on every street corner, they'll look for him in every house. Just tell your men to keep their mouths shut and their eyes open.

Brackett: I'll check back in an hour. (Brackett leaves)

(The scene changes to Laurie at the Doyle house, baby sitting, she is sitting on the couch reading to Tommy.)

Laurie: How now, cried Arthur, let no one pass this way without a fight. That so, said the knight, in a bold and haughty manner.

Tommy: I don't like that story.

Laurie: I thought king Arthur was your favorite?

Tommy: Not anymore.

(pulls comic books from under sofa)

Laurie: Why do you keep them under there?

Tommy: Mom doesn't like me to have them.

Laurie: Laser Man, Neutron Man...I can understand why. Tarantula Man.

Tommy: Laurie, what's the bogeyman?

(phone rings, Laurie answers it)

Laurie: Doyle residence.

Annie: It's me!

Laurie: Hi, Annie, what are you doing?

Annie: Making popcorn. Having fun? Never mind, I'm sure you are. I have big news for you.

(dog begins barking at Annie)

Annie: Oops. Hold on. Hi, Lester. I'm about to be ripped apart by the family dog.

Laurie: (laughs)

(The scene goes to Annie across the street .Michael is watching Annie from the kitchen door windows)

Annie: Lindsay, get this dog out of the kitchen right now!

(Lindsay is absorbed in TV.)

Annie: I hate that dog. I'm the only person in the world he doesn't like.

Laurie: So what is this big, big news?

Annie: What would you say if I told you that you were going to the homecoming dance tomorrow night?

Laurie: I'd probably say you have the wrong number.

Annie: Well, I just talked with Ben Tramer and he got real excited when I told him how attracted you were to him.

Laurie: Oh, you didn't. Please tell me you didn't. How could you do that? I mean how could you just call a person up like that? I can't believe you.

(Tommy gets up and looks out window. He sees Michael across the street)

Laurie : Oh, I'm so embarrassed. I couldn't even face him. Oh...

Tommy: Laurie, the bogeyman's outside. Laurie he's out there. Laurie, the bogeyman's outside, look.

Laurie: Hold on.

(Laurie looks out the window and doesn’t see anything)

Laurie: Tommy, there's nobody outside. Go watch TV. (back to phone) Just Tommy.

( Michael is still watching Annie)

Annie: Look, it's simple. You like him, he likes you, all you need is a little push! Well, it won't hurt you to go out with him for god's sake. Shit! No, I just made a mess of myself I gotta call you back. (hangs up) Oh yuck! . (takes off shirt and pants, gets new shirt and puts it on.) Lindsay, I need a robe, little creep

(Michael leaves, knocks down a plant in the process, the pot breaks, Annie ignores it)

(The dog starts barking at Michael)

Annie: Lindsay, Lester's barking again and getting on my nerves again!

(dog whimpers )

Annie: Never mind. Guess he found a hot date.

(The scene goes to Michael who is outside and has just killed the dog)

(Back at the Doyle house Laurie and Tommy are watching THE THING)

Tommy: What about the jack-o'-lantern?

Laurie: After the movie.

Tommy: What about the rest of my comic books?

Laurie: After the jack-o'-lantern?

Tommy: What about the bogeyman?

Laurie: There's no such thing.

Tommy: Richie said he was coming after me tonight.

Laurie: Do you believe everything Richie tells you?

Tommy: No.

Laurie: Tommy, Halloween night...it's when people play tricks on each other. It's all make believe, I think Richie was just trying to scare you.

Tommy: But I saw the bogeyman! I saw him outside.

Laurie: There was nobody outside.

Tommy: There was.

Laurie: What'd he look like?

Tommy: The bogeyman.

Laurie: We're not getting anywhere. all right. The bogeyman can only come out on Halloween night, right?

Tommy: Right.

Laurie: Well I'm here tonight. I'm not about to let anything happen to you.

Tommy: Promise?

Laurie: Promise.

Tommy: Can we make the jack-o'-lantern now?

Laurie: Let's go.

(The scene switches back to Annie who is walking outside to the laundry room in a shirt and panties. She tries to turn on the light only to discover that its not working.)

Annie: Oh, terrific!

(The door slams shut)

Annie:  Hello? Whose there? Paul, is this one of your cheap tricks? (She looks outside, and sees nothing)

Annie: Guess not. No tricks for Annie tonight.

(Annie puts clothes in washer, adds detergent, turns it on door slams shut again , Annie knocks on it several times)

Annie: Lindsay! Lindsay, come out here! Lindsay! I'm in the laundry room and the door won't open!

Paul: My parents are gone.

Annie: Oh, that's fabulous, when did the leave?

Paul: About a half hour ago.

Annie: Oh, utterly fantastic.

(Michael is in the background watching)

Annie: Why don't you just walk over?

Paul: Come and pick me up.

Annie: I can't come now, my clothes are in the wash. Oh, shut up, jerk. God, I've got a shirt on. That's all you ever
think about!

Paul: I think that's all you ever think about.

Annie: That's not true, I think about lots of things. Now why don’t we not stand here talking about them and get
down to doing them.

(Annie enters TV room)

Lindsay: I'm scared.

Annie: Why are you sitting here with all the lights off?

Lindsay: I don't know.

Annie: Well, c'mon get your coat, we're going to pick up Paul.

Lindsay: I don't want to.

Annie: Look, Lindsay, I thought we understood each other.

Lindsay: I wanna stay here and watch this.

Annie: Okay. Well if I can fix it so you can watch TV wit Tommy Doyle would you like that?

Annie: I can't.

Laurie: Yes you can.

Laurie: Wait a minute...

Annie: If you watch her, I'll consider talking to Ben Tramer in the morning.

Laurie: Deal. Thought Paul was grounded.

Laurie: Yeah.

Annie: Bye.

Laurie: Bye.

(Annie leaves)

Laurie: The old girl scout comes through again.

(The scene switches to Annie walking to her car across the road.)

Tommy: (screaming) I saw the bogeyman! He's outside. The bogeyman's outside! The bogeyman he's outside!

Laurie: Oh, Tommy, stop it!! You're scaring Lindsay! Tommy stop it, now there's nobody out there. There's no bogeyman. Now if you don't stop all this I'm gonna have to turn off the TV and send you to bed.

Tommy: Nobody believes me.

Lindsay: I believe you, Tommy.

(The kids go back to watching T.V.)

(Back at the Myers house, the kids who were teasing Tommy are making Lonnie go into the house)

Lonnie: I'm not afraid.

Richie: Bull.

Lonnie: I'm not.

Richie: Then go in!

(Lonnie starts going up to the house)

Richie: Chicken!

Keith: Go ahead, Lonnie!

Richie: Go in!

Loomis: (whispering) Hey, Lonnie! Get your ass away from there... (all three kids run away. Brackett approaches, and scares Loomis)

Brackett: You all right?

Loomis: Yeah.

Brackett: Nothing's going on except kids playing pranks ,trick-or-treating, parking, getting high... I have a feeling that you're way off on this.

Loomis: You have the wrong feeling.

Brackett: You're not doing very much to prove me wrong.

Loomis: What more do you need?

Brackett: Well it's gonna take more than fancy talk to keep me up all night crawling around these bushes.

Loomis: I--I--I watched him, for 15 years. Sitting in a room, staring at the wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall, looking at this night, inhumanly patient. Waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town sheriff. You can either ignore it, or you can help me to stop it.

Brackett: More fancy talk. Doctor, do you know what Haddonfield is? Families, children, all lined up in rows, all up and down these streets. You're telling me they're lined up for a slaughterhouse.

Loomis: They could be.

Brackett: all right, I'll stay with you here tonight. Just in the chance that you're right. And if you are right, damn you for letting him go.

(The scene changes the Wallace house where Annie was baby sitting. Lynda and Bob have just arrived and they are sitting in front of the house in a van.)

Lynda: O.K., so here’s what we’re going to do, first we go inside, right? Then we’ll just talk a little and then Annie
will distract Lindsay, that's when we go upstairs to the first bedroom on the left, got it?

Bob: O.K., first I rip your clothes off...

Lynda: Don’t rip my blouse it’s expensive idiot.

Bob: Then you rip off my clothes, then we rip Lindsay’s clothes off, yeah I think I got it.

Lynda: Totally.

(Bob picks Lynda up and carries her to the porch, they both enter the house)

Lynda: Bob this is totally silly, put me down!!

Lynda: Hey, it's totally dark.

Bob: Yeah.

Lynda: Hey, Annie! Annie! We're here!

Bob: I wonder where they went.

Lynda: Oh, Annie probably took Lindsay out for something. (door shuts)

Lynda: Hey, look for a note.

Bob: They didn't write a note.

(The two begin kissing, they get on couch and begin to make out. Michael is in the house, watching from feet away.)

(Back at the Doyle House.)

Tommy: He's gonna getchya!

Lindsay: No, he's not.

Laurie: Hey, nobody's getting anybody now stop. (TV talks)

Laurie: (looking out window) Everybody's having a good time tonight. All right, you guys, what's next?

Lindsay: Let's make more popcorn.

Tommy: Yeah!

Laurie: No, I think we've had enough. How 'bout we watch the rest of the movie.

Lindsay: Yeah.

(they sit down on sofa & watch TV. The phone rings)

Laurie: (Laurie picks up the Phone) Doyle House.

Lynda: What's up?

Laurie: Oh, just sitting down for the first time tonight.

Lynda: Hey is Annie around?

Laurie: I thought she'd be home by now. She went to pick up Paul.

Lynda: Well she's totally not here.

Laurie: Probably stopped off some place. Have her call me when she gets back in, though, I have Lindsay here and I want to know what time to put her to bed.

Lynda: Okay! Later!

Laurie: Have a good time.

Lynda: We definitely will. (hangs up)

Lynda : Lindsay is gone for the night.

Bob: Hey. Now that's wonderful!

(they get up to head upstairs)

(Back at the Doyle house, Laurie is staring out the window as the TV keeps talking.)

(At the Wallace house Lynda and Bob are having sex, the phone rings.)

Lynda : Shit.

Bob: I can’t help it, the phone keeps ringing.

Lynda: oh, I can’t keep you interested?

Bob: Just answer the damn phone.

Lynda: I can’t what if it’s the Wallace’s? I’d get Annie in trouble you know.

Bob: We’ll just take it off the hook.

(Bob takes the phone off the hook and they continue to have sex. A little while later they are finished and just lying in the bed.)

Lynda: Want a beer?

Bob: Yeah.

Lynda: Is that all you can say?

Bob: Yeah.

Lynda : Go get me a beer.

Bob: I thought you were gonna go get me one?

Lynda: Yeah?

Bob: I'll be right back. Don't get dressed.

(Bob leaves and Lynda stays in bed smoking. Bob goes down the stairs and goes into the kitchen, opens refrigerator, and gets out two beers)

Bob: Annie? Paul? Lynda, you ass hole.

(opens door to see nothing)

Bob: C'mon out.

(opens other door, Michael bursts out and begins strangling Bob against the wall, and then stabs him with knife, which goes through him and to the wall, and leaves Bob hanging from the door.)

(Up in the bedroom Lynda is filing her nails. The bedroom door opens and standing there is a figure, wearing a sheet over their head, with Bob’s glasses over the sheet.)

Lynda: Well, did you get my beer? Cute Bob, real cute.

(Lynda sits up and drops the sheet)

Lynda: See anything you like? (giggling) What's the matter, can't I get your ghost, Bob? (laughing) all right, all right, c'mon, where's my beer?

Lynda: Well can't you answer me? Okay, don't answer me. (gets up and goes to phone)

Lynda: Well I'm calling Laurie. I wanna know where Paul and Annie are. This is going nowhere.

(Back at the Doyle house, the phone is ringing)

Laurie: Finally.

(Back at the Wallace house Lynda is calling Laurie while the figure behind her, comes closer and closer. Just when Laurie answers the phone it is too late and Michael starts to strangle Lynda with the telephone cord. Laurie hears several short squeals)

Laurie: Hello? Hello? all right Annie, first I hear your famous chewing, now I get your famous squealing? Annie?! Are you fooling around again? I'll kill you if this is a joke. Annie! Annie?

(Michael picks up phone to listen to the voice)

(Laurie goes to window, looks across street, begins dialing phone again. The phone rings over and over again. Laurie hangs up. She then goes upstairs, looks in room and sees Tommy and Annie sleeping .)

(Back at the Myers house. Loomis looks across street and sees the car that Michael was driving. Loomis goes over to it, sees "For Official Use Only" on door)

(Back at the Doyle house Laurie goes back downstairs and into the living room where she gets her house keys. She then leaves the house and walks across the street where she rings the doorbell and no one answers.)

Laurie: Bob? Lynda?

(walks off of porch, looks up at house)

Laurie: Lynda?

(Laurie walks to the back of the house where she finds the Kitchen door wide open.)

Laurie: Annie? Lynda? Bob?

(She goes into the house and closes the door)

Laurie: all right, Annie.

(She walks into living room, expecting to be scared by Bob & Lynda)

Laurie: all right, you meat heads, joke's over. all right, Annie. That's enough! It's most definitely stopped being funny now cut it out! You'll be sorry.

(She slowly goes up the stairs, and sees a light on in one of the rooms. She goes over to the door and opens it only to find Annie's dead body lying on the bed with Judith Myers’ tombstone above her. She stumbles to the side and Bob’s dead body swings down)

Laurie: Aaayyhhh!

(A door opens and dead body of Lynda is revealed)

Laurie: (screams)

(Laurie runs out of the room crying. Michael appears in the doorway and cuts her shoulder with a knife. She falls over the railing of the stairs. Michael slowly walks down the stairs. Laurie gets up before he can reach her and she runs for the kitchen door, only to find that it is locked on the other side with a rake. Laurie is trying to find a way to get out through the door. By this time Michael has come to the Kitchen, he punched his arm
through the door that Laurie just came through and he slowly walks into the Kitchen, Laurie quickly slams her hand into the kitchen door window and moves the rake, and runs from the house.)

(Laurie goes to front lawn)

Laurie: Please!! Please help me!!! God, help me, please!!!

(She approaches house next door, knocks on door, porch light comes on)

Laurie: Will you please help me?! Please!!!

(Blinds on window open, then close, then the porch light goes off)

Laurie: Help me!! Aaayyhh!

(She runs back to the Doyle house)

(Laurie approaches door, tries to find the keys, she can’t find them so she then pounds on the door)

Laurie: Tommy! Tommy!

(she picks up pot plant and throws it at Tommy's window)

Tommy: (from upstairs window) Who is it?

Laurie: Tommy open up, it's me!!!

Tommy: Okay.

(Michael is slowly closing in on Laurie)

Laurie: Tommy hurry up!! Tommy please!! (knocking on door) Tommy!!

(Tommy slowly approaches door, opens it, Laurie runs inside, locks the door and shuts off the lights)

Laurie: Get upstairs!

Tommy: Laurie?

Laurie: Get up to your room, now!!

Tommy: I'm scared.

Laurie: Do as I say! Hurry!!

(picks up phone, it's dead. She realizes the window is open)

Laurie: Oh, no. Ohh....

Laurie: (whimpering) Make him stop. Please...

(Michael lunges at her from behind the couch, Laurie stabs crochet needle into his neck) He pulls it out, and he drops to the floor. Laurie thinks he is dead)

(Loomis is walking down street aimlessly, Brackett approaches in police car)

Brackett: Where were you? I went to the Myers house. you weren't there--

Loomis: I found the car, he's here.

Brackett: Where?

Loomis: He's 3 blocks down. You go around the back of the houses, I'll watch the front. Go on!!

(Brackett leaves, Loomis continues walking)

(Laurie ascends stairs, goes to Tommy & Lindsay's room)

Laurie: Tommy, Lindsay?

( Laurie hugs them )

Laurie: I'm gonna take a little walk.

Tommy: But the bogeyman...

Lindsay: I'm scared.

Laurie: There's nothing to be scared of.

Tommy: Are you sure (Laurie nods) How?

Laurie: I killed him.

Tommy: You can't kill the bogeyman...Aaahhhh!!!

(Tommy & Lindsay run to the bedroom and lock themselves in as Michael stands across the hall, Laurie goes into other room and hides in closet. Michael enters room as Laurie locks the closet door. Laurie sees his shadow in front of door, door begins rattling) He punches through door, turns on light in the closet, and Laurie screams. Laurie grabs hanger and begins to straighten it out. The light goes off, Laurie stabs the hanger in his
eye, he drops the knife Laurie picks up the knife and stabs Michael with it. And he falls to the ground. Laurie goes across hall, knocks on door)

Laurie: Tommy, unlock the door. (door opens) Come here. I want you to listen to me.

(kids kneel in front of Laurie as she squats down)

Laurie: I want you to go out of the house, go down the street to the Mackenzie's house. I want you to knock on their door, I want you tell 'em to call the police and tell them to send them over here. All right? Now, do you understand?

Tommy: All right.

Laurie: Now do as I say. (kids get up)

Laurie: Go.

(The kids go down the stairs and leave. Dr. Loomis is walking down the road and sees the two kids run out of the house, screaming)

(Back in the house, Laurie rises from the floor and Michael rises in the background, and he begins to follow Laurie. He grabs on to Laurie and she turns around to face him, while he tries to choke her. Dr. Loomis rushes into the house, just when Laurie has managed to pull Michael’s mask off. Michael puts it back on and Loomis shoots him once and then and Michael backs into the next room. Loomis follows and shoots Michael five more
times, which makes him fall off the balcony)

Laurie: Was it the bogeyman?

Loomis: As a matter of fact, it was.

(Loomis runs to balcony, looks over, sees nothing. Michael Myers is gone.)
