INT. HADDONFIELD HIGH- CLASSROOM
Casey sits in the front row of this classroom, Breanna sits right next to her. Both of them are taking notes as the teacher, a man with neatly combed grey hair and grey beard writes on the board.
Casey looks out the window, expecting to see the man with the mask, but he's not there. She worries that he really had been there earlier in the day, but figures that it has to have been her imagination. There was just no way he could have been there. He'd been locked away in Smith's Grove for years. But the murders that Kat had told them about at lunch earlier bothered her. Sure, it could have been an isolated event, but you never know….
Casey sighs, looking back to the board for more notes. She only hoped the rest of the day wouldn't be quite as weird.

EXT. HIGHWAY
Dr. Hartley is speeding down the highway, on the phone again. He still looks mad.
DR. HARTLEY
I told them to listen to me, but they don't think Michael is capable of it! (Pause) Yes, I agree, it shouldn't have been broadcast at all, but it's too late for that now. (Pause) I'm on my way to Haddonfield now.
Dr. Hartley hangs up, setting the phone in the cup holder. He looks straight ahead.
DR. HARTLEY
I just hope I make it before he can kill again.

INT. HADDONFIELD HIGH SCHOOL- BAND ROOM
The class has just finished practice for the day. Everyone is putting away their instruments and horsing around. There's still several minutes left before the class is officially over. Logan and Caleb have both already locked up their instruments. They stand off in the corner of the room talking.
CALEB
Bro, the party is gonna be lit tonight.
LOGAN
I hope so man. So you're sure that your brother is gonna get us the beer?
CALEB
Yeah. And Joey Masters is selling me some coke.
LOGAN
Oh shit dude, this is gonna be awesome.
CALEB
Yeah, but I think you should give me half the money for the coke, at least half, since you requested it in the first place.
Logan sighs, pulling out his wallet. The two discuss a price, then Logan hands him a wad of cash. Caleb smirks, putting the money in his own wallet. Logan glares at him. Suddenly, Jake walks up to join the two boys in conversation. Neither Caleb nor Logan look amused by Jake's presence.
JAKE
So I heard you guys are having a party tonight?
CALEB
It's just a small gathering of friends. Invite only.
JAKE
So… can I come?
Logan and Caleb look at each other, wondering if Jake is serious. Jake waits for either of them to respond. Caleb lets out a fit of laughter. Logan looks to Jake.
LOGAN
Hell no you can't come! Didn't you hear him? It's a small gathering of friends! You aren't our friend!
Jake looks hurt by what Logan has just said. Caleb stops laughing, growing more serious.
CALEB
Now stop bothering us, fat ass!
A flash of pain singes in Jake's eyes. It almost looks as if he is fighting back tears. The heavy boy turns and walks away at a fast pace, disappearing into a crowd of band kids. Caleb smirks after Jake. Logan seems a little shocked.
LOGAN
Dude, maybe you were being a little bit harsh. You just hurt his feelings.
CALEB
Shut up. He's fine. He can take a joke.
Logan crosses his arms, rolling his eyes. Caleb was his best friend, but sometimes he couldn't help but think he was an asshole.

INT. HADDONFIELD HIGH- LIBRARY
Brandi and Kat sit side by side in front of computers. The school offered online classes for those that wanted to take them, and they were set up in the library. Brandi looks annoyed with Kat, who is going on and on about the coming evening.
KAT
I wonder what kind of music we'll have. Oh, I hope its good dance music. Make sure your boyfriend knows that I like to dance. He won't like it if I can't dance, Brandi.
BRANDI
Uh, don't worry. I'm sure the music will be perfect for dancing to.
KAT
Good, that's all I want, is good dancing music. Oh, and also, I want good food. What kind of food is Caleb providing for us?
BRANDI
You know, Kat, Caleb isn't the only one that's going to be at this party. Jesus.
Brandi turns off her computer, grabs her bag, and walks across the room, sitting down at the table reading her textbook. Kat looks shocked at what has just happened. She crosses her arms, looking from Brandi to her computer screen.
KAT
Humph. Some people are so touchy.

EXT. HADDONFIELD HIGH- PARKING LOT
The final bell has just rang. Kids pour out of the school, getting onto the school buses parked out front or heading through the lot to their cars. Casey stands next to Breanna's vehicle, waiting on the rest of them to get there.
As she waits, she looks over to where the man and his vehicle had been at earlier. The space is empty. Casey believes she really must have imagined the whole thing. She lets out a deep sigh, pulling her phone from her pocket. The girl decides that she might as well call Mrs. Brady to ask about Jake while she waits on her friends. After getting Mrs. Brady's approval, Casey sends a text to Jake, letting him know that he can come over to study.
On the opposite corner of the parking lot, Jake reads the text. He shows the message to Krystal, who stands next to him. Krystal takes a lit cigarette from her lips, blowing smoke out. She reads the message smiling sinisterly at Jake, who smiles back weakly. Krystal finishes smoking her cigarette, throwing the butt to the ground. She motions for Jake to get into her vehicle, a 2013 black mustang. Once Jake climbs in, Krystal screeches out of the parking lot.
Back on the other side of the parking lot, Casey smiles as Logan and Breanna walk up to the vehicle, hand in hand.
CASEY
Has anyone ever told you how cute you guys are together?
BREANNA
Aw, thanks Casey.
LOGAN
Now all we gotta do is get you a boyfriend, Casey!
Casey frowns. She doesn't want a boyfriend, not until after she is done with school. Her education came first. Then romance. Logan always joked with Casey about getting a boyfriend, so she wasn't too annoyed by him saying this.
CASEY
Anyways, where's Brandi?
BREANNA
Didn't she tell you? She's going home with Caleb to get ready for the party.
LOGAN
Yeah, they're "getting ready for the party".
CASEY
EW, don't make sexual innuendos. Especially not about Brandi and Caleb. That is so gross to think about.
BREANNA
Alright, enough chit-chat. I gotta get Casey back to her house so I can get to my house to get ready for the party tonight.
LOGAN
I better get home too. I'll pick you up tonight at seven, hon.
Logan kisses Breanna passionately on the lips, embracing her in a giant bear hug. Casey awkwardly looks at the ground until the two split apart. Logan walks off in the direction of his vehicle while Casey and Breanna get into Breanna's car.
[As Breanna backs out of her space, the camera pans up to the sky]
[Pan down from the sky onto the Myers' house]
The white house has deteriorated heavily over the years. The white paneling has started to turn to a pale yellow color. The left side of the porch has caved in. All of the windows in the house have been busted out. EVIL LIVES HEREhas been written in red pain above the front door of the house. The screen door leans sideways, hanging to the frame by a hinge. A tree has fallen in the front yard, right over the walkway leading up to the porch.
The mustang pulls up in front of the house, music blaring loudly. Krystal pulls the key from the ignition, killing the engine. She opens her door, killing the music. The girl stands before the house, staring at its' decrepit state. Jake slowly climbs out of the vehicle.
JAKE
Are you sure we should be here? (Looks reluctantly at the house)
KYSTAL
(Rolls eyes) What, you think the boogeyman is gonna get you if you go in there? Don't be stupid. It's fine.
Krystal strolls through the yard, climbing over the giant trunk of the tree. Jake follows after her. He climbs the side of the trunk, rolling off onto the other side. He hits the ground hard, letting out a gasp. Instead of checking to see if he is hurt, Krystal merely laughs at him and keeps going towards the house.
Jake climbs to his feet slowly. His glasses are crooked on his face, which he quickly straightens back on the bridge of his nose. He scrambles to catch up to Krystal, who is now climbing the steps to the porch. The boards are rotting, and they make ominous creaks as the two step onto the landing of the porch.
JAKE
So what is it that you hope to find here?
KRYSTAL
I dunno. Wouldn't it be cool if we found like one of his knives or a mask or something? Imagine how bad we could scare Casey with something like that!
Krystal pushes the front door open. It squeals on the hinges, causing Jake to jump. Krystal laughs at the boy. She takes a step into the darkness of the rotten house. Jake follows right behind.
INT. MYERS' HOUSE
Krystal uses the light on her iPhone to brighten up the dark mood of the house. There's no furniture in the house. It sits dusty and barren. As they go deeper into the house, the darker it gets. They come to the stairs that lead to the upper level of the house.
Krystal turns to Jake, motioning for him to go first.
JAKE
Why do I have to go first?
KRYSTAL
You're the man! That's why!
Jake sighs, placing a foot on the first step. It creaks beneath him ominously. He slowly takes another step, scared that the boards will fall through with his weight. Again, it creaks loudly, but it doesn't give way with him. He takes several more steps before turning to look at Krystal. She still hasn't taken a single step up.
JAKE
Aren't you coming?
KRYSTAL
Why don't you check up there? I'll look around down here. We'll cover more ground that way.
JAKE
I don't-
He stops, seeing the anger in Krystal's eyes.
JAKE (cont'd)
Fine.
Krystal gives him a smirk, then disappears out of sight. Jake continues his ascent on the stairs, after pulling out his own phone and turning on its' light.
[CUT TO]
INT. MYERS' HOUSE- KITCHEN
Krystal slowly steps into the kitchen. She shines her light around in the darkness of the room. The windows in the room have all been boarded up. The counter sits with nothing on it but dust and spider webs. The girl steps over to the counter, pulling open a drawer. Dust flies everywhere. Nothing in the drawer.
Krystal lets out a sigh, disappearing into the next room. As she goes out of sight, another figure steps into sight.
[Soundtrack thuds]
[CUT TO]
INT. MYERS' HOUSE- UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
Jake looks very frightened as he steps onto the upstairs landing. He'd heard the stories a million times. The room right in front of him was the very room that Michael Myers had killed his sister, Judith Myers, in 1963. He shines his light into the room, giving it a very eerie lighting. He can't help but shiver as he reluctantly steps into the room.
Just like the rest of the house, there's nothing left in the room. Jake looks around, wondering why he and Krystal even came to this place. It was such a stupid idea. Instead of leaving, however, Jake shines the light of his phone around, gasping at the wall.
Painted on the wall in the corner of the room is a giant blood-red pentagram. Jake sighs. His nerves are going through the roof.
He knew a lot of people in the bad part of the neighborhood had held weird satanic rituals and other shit like that in the house. Jake didn't believe in that stuff, but he was still very, very uneasy with the feeling that came from the room.
[CUT TO]
INT. MYERS' HOUSE- BASEMENT
Krystal steps down into the basement of the house. The only floor down here is the dirt of the ground. She shines her light around the room, seeing a bunch of old rotten boards, a mattress, and several other random things. But one item manages to catch her eye. A giant tote sits in the corner. It looks like there are several things crammed inside. She smiles stupidly, heading towards the box.
She kneels down in front of the box, pulling old mildewed clothes from the box, sighing. She hoped there would be something- anything good in here. After the clothes came a bunch of old photos. She slowly went through them. Most of them were photos of babies and young adults that she didn't recognize from the stories and the old newspaper articles she had read on the family. There didn't seem to be anything interesting in the box though. Krystal sighed, rolling her eyes. She got to her feet, letting out another heavy sigh.
This was turning out to be a huge waste of time. She looked around the room once more, then disappeared up the stairs.
[CUT TO]
INT. MYERS' RESIDENCE- UPSTAIRS
Jake stares at the pentagram on the wall. A chill runs down his spine. Suddenly, a loud noise comes from the room next door, causing him to jump. He turns slowly, looking through the doorway into the next room. The light of his phone barely penetrates the dark room. Instead of going towards the door, he heads towards the exit into the hallway. Right as he steps through the doorway, eyes still on the other room where the sound came from, HE RUNS INTO SOMEONE.
[Soundtrack trills]
JAKE
Holy fuck!
Krystal lets out a loud cackle. Jake looks angry.
JAKE
I thought you were checking out the basement?
KRYSTAL
There wasn't anything good down there. In fact, this whole house is boring.
Sudennly, another loud creaking sound comes from the same room. Jake jumps, turning towards the doorway. Krystal looks in.
KRYSTAL
What's in there?
JAKE
I only went into the first room. I heard a noise come from the next room, so I decided to get out.
KRYSTAL
Uh, hell no. We are checking it out.
JAKE
Come on Krystal, do we seriously-
KRYSTAL
NOW!
Jake turns heading slowly back into the room. Krystal follows right behind him. He slowly makes his way across the room, aiming his phone light at the dark room. He looks at Krystal questioningly.
KRYSTAL
Well, what are you waiting for? Go in!
Jake shakes his head. Krystal sighs, shoving past him, into the room.
She shines her light around, noticing a door in the corner. As she shines her light towards it, another loud creak comes from behind it. A look of excitement gleams in her eyes as she quickly makes her way over to the door. As she stops in front of the door, she turns to look at Jake, who still looks terrified.
KRYSTAL
Are you ready?
JAKE
Don't open it! Nothing good can come from this…
[Soundtrack begins to build]
Krystal ignores Jake. She turns back to the door, placing her hand on the door knob. Quickly, she turns the knob, flinging the door open. Jake flinches as she does this. On the other side of the door is another seemingly empty room which leads back to the hallway.
Suddenly, a cat comes running through the doorway, brushing against Krystal's legs, causing her and Jake to both jump.
[Soundtrack dies]
Jake lets out a sigh of relief. Krystal rolls her eyes at him.
KRYSTAL
See? You fucking pussy. There wasn't anything to be afraid of. Just a cat.
JAKE
I guess you're right. Thank God.
As Jake says this, MICHAEL MYERS APPEARS BEHIND HIM. Krystal lets out a scream as Michael sinks a huge butcher knife into Jake's back. Jake gasps in pain. Michael pulls the knife out, then stabs him again, and again, and again, and again. As Michael stabs the boy over and over, Jake coughs up blood, gasping in pain. Krystal is glued to her spot next to the door, watching in horror.
After the fifth stab, Michael pulls the blade out, letting Jake fall to the floor. He's now dressed in a mechanic suit, and wearing the white mask. You can hear him breathing heavily under the rubber mask. He slowly steps over Jake's body and into the room.
Krystal finally realizes the danger of her situation, letting out another scream before running into the room that the cat had just came out of. She doesn't waste any time looking to see if Michael is in pursuit.
She runs through another doorway, now back in the upstairs hallway. She makes a beeline for the stairs. As she makes it to them, Michael comes out of the first doorway, stabbing Krystal in the side.
Krystal gasps in pain as Michael jerks the knife out of her, causing her to fall down the stairs. When she hits the landing, she groans, slowly making her way to her feet. The girl places a hand on her bloody side. Blood seeps through her hands.
She turns, looking up to see Michael slowly making his way down the stairs. She screams again, limping towards the front door.
[CUT TO]
EXT. MYERS' RESIDENCE
[ANGLE ON THE HOUSE FROM THE STREET]
The front door flies open, and Krystal slowly comes limping into view on the porch. She screams for help, but no one comes. As she makes her way towards the steps, Michael comes into view in the doorway. He picks Krystal up from the ground, throwing her over his shoulder. He disappears back inside, slamming the door behind him.
[CUT TO]
INT. MYERS' RESIDENCE
Michael throws Krystal to the floor. She grunts in pain. The girl has her eyes shut, ready for the end. After a couple of seconds, she slowly opens her eyes, looking up to see Michael staring at her. He breathes heavily.
KRYSTAL
Please… don't kill me…
Michael continues to breathe heavily. Krystal looks up at him, terrified. She starts to make a move towards the kitchen, but as soon as she moves, Michael is on her, stabbing her over and over again. She screams in pain as the life drains out of her. She dies quickly, but Michael continues to stab her long after she has died.
