– Cut to credit sequence –

[Tim (voice over)] I used to love my father's stories about Halloween, the stories of goblins, ghouls, ghosts and witches. But I could see the monster that ate at his conscious [montage of MM] I could see it in his eyes burning like an eternal flame.

Evil on two legs, this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes, I'll never forget the night, when it came home. The night pure evil took my father's life.

[Image of End of Halloween VI]

From that day, I swore to myself I would destroy the very evil that plagues the streets. I swore I would never stop until its corrupt soul burnt in hell and its inhumane heart thrust into the eternal fires beneath. But I know deep down in the bottom of my heart that hell would not have him. That it was condemned to roam the earth for the rest of eternity.

Cut To:

Hospital Corridor Tim walks down the corridor wearing a white lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck. He carries several files under his arm his left hand is in his pocket.

Full back shot of Tim walking down the corridor. A police detective walks up to him with a notebook as he finishes talking to two plain clothed police officers.

[Detective] Doctor Tim Loomis?

[Tim] Erm…yes, what's the problem? Why are there police officers outside my office?

[Detective] There was a break in last night; your office is in quite a state. It looks as if they got in through the window. We don't know what they've take until you look through for items that are missing.

[Tim] But there's nothing in my office, well nothing that anyone would be able to get to.

[Detective] Well I just need to ask you a few questions

[Tim] Of course…

[Detective] How long have you worked for the Haddonfield Mental Health Department?

[Tim] About, six months, I moved over here from England to take over from my Father.

[Detective] You Father was Doctor Sam Loomis?

[Tim] The very same

[Detective] You don't think it was.

Tim quick to respond

[Tim] No I don't think it could even be possible

[Detective] Thank you Doctor Loomis

Tim nods and walks past the detective and into his office. Focus on files littered on the floor. Extreme close up shot of Sam Loomis photograph lying on the floor. Tim picks it up and stands it upright. Tim walks through his office to his desk. Looks over his desk and the files that are littered over it, he places the photograph on the desk and turns looking at two files that are on the floor wide open. The two files are open face down. The two read '#01334 Strode, A D' and '#02234 Strode R K'

[Tim] Shit!

[Police Officer #1] What is it Doctor?

[Tim] It's nothing, nothing at all

Tim walks to the window and looks out his hand on his head contemplating his next move.

Tim walks out of the building and gets into his car, he leaves the car park taking out his mobile phone.

Cut to: Tim in his car

Tim opens his cell phone and dials a speed dial number. He holds the phone to his ear with one hand on the wheel.

[Tim]

This is Tim Loomis with the Haddonfield Mental Health Department; put me through to the State Coroner's office.

Brief five second pause before answer is received.

[Graham] Tim, this is not a good time

Tim cuts in

[Tim] I need to know what happened to the body after it was taken away from the crime scene.

[Graham] It's down in the morgue where all the bodies are kept, why what's the problem?

[Tim] Notify the gate, I'll be outside in five minutes. I need to check that body

[Graham] Your wasting your time Tim, accept it Michael Myers is dead, leave the past where it belongs.

[Tim] Listen to me Graham, and listen to me well. Do you know what day it is? Do you know the date...Hartshore! I don't want anyone to have to live through that night again.

I have to be sure; I have to be sure it's dead.

[Graham] What the hell are you on about Tim?

[Tim] Evil Graham, Evil on two legs

[Graham] I'm telling you Tim you're wasting your time, it's been over a year since…

[Tim] (Cuts in) Let me be the judge of that

Tim hangs up his cell phone and places another hand on the wheel. He pulls into a driveway the entrance to the coroner's hospital.

Guard comes out with a clipboard under his arm and a radio attached to his belt.

[Tim] I'm Tim Loomis; I have an appointment with Dr Hartshore

[Guard] Thank you Sir, follow the drive way and you can park down there – gestures with his hand -

[Tim] Thank You

Tim pulls away and follows the drive underneath the raised barrier.

[Amy] What's the big deal? It's only ten thirty, besides I've been to Matt's

[Rachel] The point is you know I don't like you walking around at this time, especially this close to well…

[Amy] {Laughs} Halloween right? I'm fucking sick of being told what to do, just because some complete pussy of an uncle killed a load of people who I happen to be related to. He's dead Rachel just deal with it!

[Dan] Take it easy Rachael I mean it's not as if she's been anywhere that could be of any concern to you, I mean it's only Matt.

[Rachel] Shut it! (smacks his chest)

[Amy] Exactly, listen to Danny boy a little more Rachel and you would a lot more tolerable.

Amy turns and walks out the room and up the stairs. Rachel turns to Dan, hands on hips not looking too pleased.

[Rachel] Thank you Daniel

Dan smirks and continues to watch TV

[Rachel] Thanks to you I no longer have any influence over my little sister. All I want is for her to be safe.

Rachel sits back on the sofa and puts her head on Dan's chest. Dan puts his arm around her and takes a drink from his glass. The pair continues to watch TV.

[Dan] Of course she's safe, why do you think we brought her all the way out here to live with us. Trust me there's nothing to worry about.

Graham and Tim walk inside the building

Cut to: Graham opening an locked door. He ushers Loomis through.

[Graham] Why do you need to do this Tim?

[Tim] I need to make sure it's dead; I don't want anyone to have to live through another night like that, not again.

The pair walks down a set of stairs and stop at two double doors which read 'Morgue'

Graham opens the door and walks into the room, a junior coroner on shift stands up and opens a door for Loomis.

Loomis opens his diary and looks at the number he was given by the State Coroner.

'#011324 Myers, M A'

He walks down the row of cases and stops outside the door number given on his sheet of paper.

[Tim] Open it up!

The orderly hesitates to do so

[Tim] Open it up (raises voice) now!

The orderly opens up the room and the three walks in.

[Graham] See Tim I told you, it's dead and buried let it stay that way.

Loomis begins to unzip the body bag and finally after a brief pause pulls it away.

The three look down onto the tablet Tim staggers backwards and turns his head in his hands.

[Tim] It's gone from here the evil has gone!

Tim turns and runs out of the morgue

[Graham] Loomis!

Tim pays him no attention and runs down the corridor

[Graham] Loomis!

Tim runs out to his car and opens the door before he is stopped by Graham

[Graham] Tim where are you going?

[Tim] Winchester!, I need to stop him Graham, I need to kill it for good.

[Graham] Tim Winchester is over two hundred miles away; I mean for god's sake the man is an invalid, do you know what that amount of electricity does to your insides?

[Tim] You're talking about him as if he were some kind of human being

Tim turns and gets into his car

[Tim] That part of him died years ago

Tim starts his engine and drives down the driveway

[Graham] Shit!

[Graham] You have to believe me officer, Michael Myers in on his way to Winchester; if you're not ready for him it's your funeral.

Graham puts the receiver down and holds his head in his hands.

[Graham] God dammit!

[Doctor 2] Even so Tim, you should still have said something, gotten the body moved down to the federal hospital.

[Tim] I can clearly see I'm wasting my time here, if you need me you can reach me through the Winchester police department.

Tim exits the room and is followed by Doctor 1

Outside, Tim gets into his car but is stopped briefly by Doctor 1

[Doctor 1] Tim it's not our fault, we had no idea

[Tim] Then you should have paid more attention me then!

[Meakin] Then how do you explain all of this?

[Tim (shouting)]

The staff were unprepared {throws a box of matches onto the dashboard} there was nothing I could do about it, they wanted to believe it was dead and buried.

[Meakin] You could have told them what he was

[Tim (shouting)] I told everybody, nobody would listen

Meakin pulls up down a track off the main road, lights can be seen ahead. He pulls up outside and old farm building. The area is deserted.

[Meakin] Shit!

[Tim] He's more predictable then you think, we'll find him close to that which he is hunting

[Meakin] What's that supposed to mean

[Tim] Evil Sheriff, pure evil
