Halloween II  

HADDONFIELD,ILLINOIS
OCTOBER 31ST 1978
FADE IN: "Mr. Sandman" plays as the camera pans through trees to the front of the house that Laurie Strode is babysitting at. We cut into the house:

LAURIE
(to the kids:)
I want you to listen to me. I want you to go out the house, and down the street to the McKinsey's house,I want you to knock on their door. I want you to tell them to call the police and send them over here.Alright? Now do as I say. Go!

THE KIDS EXIT. LAURIE leans up against the doorframe. In the background we see the Shape rise.

THE KIDS run out of the house screaming. LOOMIS sees them . INSIDE: The shape comes at LAURIE and tries to strangle her. LOOMIS runs up the stairs and fires six bullets at MICHAEL, MICHAEL falls off the back balcony.

LAURIE
Was that the boogeyman?

LOOMIS
As a matter of fact...it was.

LOOMIS walks to the balcony to see that the shape has risen from his spot. LOOMIS runs outside, and feels the ground and finds blood. A neighbor comes out of his house.

NEIGHBOR
What's going on out here?

LOOMIS
Call the police! Tell the sheriff I shot him!

NEIGHBOR
Who?

LOOMIS
Tell him he's still on the loose!

NEIGHBOR
Is this some kind of joke? I've been trick or treated to death tonight!

LOOMIS
You don't know what death is!

THE CREDITS ROLL

A YARD-MICHAEL's POV, WE SEE trick or treaters going about their rounds, a dog barks...We see LOOMIS and the police car.

LOOMIS
I shot him six times! I shot him in the heart. I shot him six times!

BRACKET
He couldn't have gotten very far come on.

LOOMIS
(getting into the car)
I shot him six times! This guy he's not human!

THE CAR drives off. MICHAEL turns and sees a house with jack-o-lantern in it. An elderly woman is fixing a sandwich in the kitchen.

ELDERLY LADY
Do you want mayonaisse on your sandwhich? How bout mustard?

She walks in to see her husband asleep in his chair.

ELDERLY LADY
Are you asleep again?

MICHAEL walks in the back door and picks up the knife. The news plays on the TV, we see MICHAEL exit the house in the background. ELDERLY LADY goes for the knife and rubs blood on her hand and screams.

MICHAEL walks outside and sees a young girl come out of her house.

YOUNG GIRL
Mrs. Elron? Mr. Elrong? Are you OK?

SHE walks back inside.

YOUNG GIRL
