HALLOWEEN II (1981) Spin off/WHAT IF Prompt 1:
(HALLOWEEN: BEN)
Halloween 1978, During Michael Myers's rampage across Haddonfield, Illinois, while hunting for his young sister: Laurie Strode, Dr Loomis and Sheriff Leigh Brackett, who are on the hunt for Michael, chase down an individual, wearing an almost exact replication of Michael's attire… before he is hit by police car, before being ram crashed into a van, and catches fire, being burned to death… Later, while during a Dental examination of the corpse, Loomis discovers this individual was NOT Michael Myers, but a Local Haddonfield Teen named: Bennett 'Ben' Tramer…
WHAT IF: Ben Tramer was still badly burnt from his accident, but didn't die from his wounds… instead, Ben is saved and taken to another Hospital, outside of Haddonfield, as the Haddonfield Memorial Hospital is under investigation and repairs after Loomis set himself and Michael on fire, saving Laurie in the process. Ben awakens and undergoes skin grafting, and recovers physically, but is still physically and mentally scarred very badly, and slowly begins going insane from everything that happened to him, as well as learning all that also transpired that Halloween Night, leading up to his accident…
Halloween 1981, with reminders of Michael Myers still going round Haddonfield, and with some people mocking Ben from his burn scars, Ben has hit breaking point, and decides to take revenge and wreak havoc on Halloween Night… by copycatting the one person who he blames deep down for what happened to him: Michael Myers… Ben acquires a Navy Blue Pair of Coveralls, Black work boots and underclothing, and a replication of the same Shape Mask he wore when he was badly burned, which is almost exactly like Michael's, only with Blonde hair instead, before setting out and going on a rampage across Haddonfield, essentially becoming another Shape of the Boogeyman…
