1968. At the American base on Paris Island, young recruits wait to leave for Vietnam. They undergo Marine training under Sergeant Hartman, a sadistic instructor who takes Private “Whale” as a Turk. Private Guignol tries to help Baleine out of her grief, but Hartman decides to punish the entire room, except for Baleine.

Fortunately, nothing should… except for 10, 20, 30 years…

It’s been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived Michael Myers’ attack on Halloween night. Locked in an institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes wrong. Now she faces a terrifying confrontation when the masked killer returns to Haddonfield — but this time, Laurie is prepared.
