"You've heard the story. On Halloween night Michael Myers went back home to Haddonfield leaving many dead in his path. The constellation could only appear on All-hallows even otherwise known as Halloween. Children spend the night in search of candy, playing tricks, dressing in costumes, while teenagers spend the night involving themselves in pointless parties and fornication.

Long ago in the time of the druids, to prevent mass destruction among the tribes, one family was chosen to bear the curse. The bearer would have to sacrifice his entire family on the night of Samhain, which in turn would spear their community of mass destruction. The curse gifts the bearer with superhuman strength and immunity from death. No one has embodied it longer, better than Michael Myers."

"Tonight he has returned to us."

The cult members gasped. Dr. Wynn stood atop the altar in the room dimly lit with the candles. Michael Myers dressed in his signature outfit and William Shatner mask, walked into the room. The cult members parted giving Michael free space to walk past them. Their faces full of both fear and respect for thorns most respected and devoted member. He walked past them to stand beside Dr. Wynn.

"Michael has told me it's time to start killing again. Most curse bearers bravely sacrifice every one of their bloodlines. Michael has always gone above and beyond sacrificing not only his flesh and blood but the lives of several of Haddonfield's members. Most of them young for the greater good of thorn. Michael, however, is here to make one final sacrifice. The sacrifice of the last with his bloodline. That's right his niece Jamie Lloyd. She still resides in Haddonfield. She is the missing puzzle piece.

But there's more. Jamie is due to give birth to her first child very soon."

More hopeful looks from the group. This pregnancy was wonderful news.

"Michael is going to go back home for one more night. To kill for thorn one more night on his search for Jamie. What happens next is entirely up to Michael. One week from now on Halloween night Michael will finally achieve his goals. And the legacy will continue once again. The boogeyman is going back to Haddonfield one last time."

Dr. Charlene Loomis shifted through the notes in her office once more. Another late night in the office spent burning her eyes looking over these notes. She swore she would never be like her father. She had long realized that wasn't going to be the case. Her father was more focused on his work at Smith Grove and later being the doctor of his most famous patient Michael Myers.

Her parents had long divorced in her childhood and she rarely saw him growing up. It took her years to understand the man Sam Loomis. Once she did she realized he was the only one who even came close to understanding the quite infamous serial killer. She was able to develop a relationship with her father in his final years. She had long had a dream of becoming a psychiatrist like him.

Most parents would be thrilled if their child followed in their footsteps. Hers was not. It was the last thing he wanted her to do. He knew full well it was her decision to follow her own path. So he warned her of the path she would be following. There was one legacy he gave her that she needed to think hard about before accepting. The legacy of Michael Myers. If she was going to do it then she needed to be prepared for what that would mean. So he gave her the notes and everything he knew on the curse of thorn.

"Charlene if you truly decide this is what you want to do then you need to understand what you're taking on. The responsibilities of stopping it."

"It."

"Michael the shape. You have to stop them from suffering through those nights. Those Halloween nights. I don't want anyone to have to live through those nights ever again. Laurie and her daughter suffered so much. Her daughter is still alive. He is still out there. Alive and waiting. Jamie knows he's going to come back one day. She hasn't forgotten. It may fall to you to keep her safe one day."

He passed away not long after that conversation. Her father who had never left her much like a typical father other than naming her after his mother left her a legacy like this. He loved her of course but his life was never going to be normal. Even at the end. In turn, hers was not either. She didn't have to suffer the way Laurie Strode, Jamie Lloyd, and her father had. But she was connected to the Halloween tragedies through her father. She realized he had been right all along.

She had long-delayed marriage or even build any lasting relationships. When she did marry it was to a fellow psychiatrist. Surely if anyone could understand her line of work it was him. Ultimately even he would say she was basically married to her work. She didn't want to have children and he did. She didn't want her own children having feelings about her like the ones she had about her father. Their differences were too great, her devotion to her work too strong, her delay on having children unacceptable. The two divorced. She still had her wedding ring on her finger simply because she often forgot to take it off.

And anyway it helped her fend off possible suitors. She would only be involved with one man in a relationship. That man might be her father's old friend Michael Myers. Should he ever decide to make an appearance. If she ever wanted to have children that would happen much later. Hopefully after Michael and the curse of thorn had been stopped. She looked at the notes once more. In one week's time, it would be that time of year again. The famous albeit infamous holiday in Haddonfield. She wondered where Jamie Lloyd was now. Her father had kept in touch with her through the years.

She'd been to visit him prior to his passing. She and her husband Billy had been honorary guests at his funeral. Charlene had met them briefly but hadn't really spoken to them much. They offered her their condolences before they left. She stood up decided she needed to find out where Jamie and Billy were now. Just in case Michael decided to come back for her once again.

"Charlene, what are you still doing here?"

She sighed as she looked to her fellow psychiatrist Donald who had apparently stayed in the office late as well.

"Reading up on these notes."

"Again? You know as many times as you've looked over them I doubt you will find anything new." She chose to ignore that.

"Would you know anything about where Jamie Lloyd would be now?"

"I believe she would be Jamie Hall now. She's married right?"

"Do you know if she still resides in Haddonfield?"

"As a matter of fact last time I knew she still lived there. Why wanting to get in touch with her?"

"Yes actually."

"Interviews again?"

"No, I haven't wanted to bother her or her husband with anything like that. Surely they would like to forget what happened. They must live with it every day. My reasons are to make sure she's safe."

"You think Michael might return for her?"

"He has done so two times already."

"This was years ago. You really think he would come out now after all this time?"

"He waited fifteen years to find Laurie Strode. Someone murdered the entire Haddonfield police force to get him out of there. He is out there somewhere. I think he will come back."

"You're sure you're not mistaken?"

"My father suffered a stroke trying to stop him. He knew the truth was perhaps he never could. But he had to try. He spent his entire life trying to stop him."

Charlene stood up finally deciding to leave. She may be wrong. But something about this upcoming Halloween felt different. The constellation seemed to be adding up. She hoped she was wrong but something told her luck wasn't on her side. Or any of the residents in Haddonfield.

"Oh Charlene one more thing I believe you may not have heard,"

"What's that?" She asked picking up her pocket book to finally return to relax at home.

"Jamie is pregnant."
