Biography
Original
Cynthia Myers was a female human born in 1961 as the youngest of three children born to Donald Myers and Edith Myers. She was two years old when her six-year old brother Michael Myers murdered their teenage sister Judith with a butcher knife on Halloween. As a result, he was sent away after the incident with her visiting him at the Smith's Grove Sanitarium. On January 3, 1965, her parents were killed in an automobile accident with the young Cynthia being placed in the foster care system where she was adopted by Morgan Strode and Pamela Strode who renamed her Laurie Strode. The Governor of Illinois then kept her records sealed so that no one would connect Laurie Strode to her psychotic older brother. In time, Laurie came to forget about her birth family and even the visit she made to Michael years ago.
Soon afterwards, Michael Myers was captured by Samuel Loomis, with the help of the Haddonfield Police Department, and returned to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, with continued treatment from Loomis. Laurie's parents were left with a traumatized daughter after the 1978 events. Morgan ultimately died of a heart attack one year afterward in 1979, and Pamela soon became fed up with her daughter's nightmares and delusions about Michael Myers and eventually kicked her out. Laurie has a one-night stand with a random man at a bar that results in the birth of a daughter named Karen. Laurie trained her rigorously to prepare her for the day Michael Myers returned, but eventually loss custody of her daughter after Child Protective Services deemed her an unfit parent. After growing up, Karen gave birth to Laurie's granddaughter, Allyson. Over the years, Laurie builds traps in her home, and trains with guns, to prepare herself for Myers' eventual breakout and return.
In October 2018, it has been 40 years after the original massacre in Haddonfield, Illinois. Crime podcasters Aaron Joseph-Korey and Dana Haines visit Smith's Grove to see Michael Myers. They visit Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sartain, a follower of Dr. Samuel Loomis before meeting with The Shape in hopes to get a rise out of him by showing him his original mask from the 1978 murders. Michael is soon to be moved to a new facility for the rest of his days. Dana and Aaron arrive at Laurie's house which is now heavily guarded and armed with many security systems located on the outskirts of Haddonfield. They offer Laurie $3,000 for an interview, during the interview she talks about her PTSD and her two failed marriages which caused her daughter Karen to be taken away by Child Protective Services when she was 12. Their interview is cut when Aaron asks about Laurie making contact with Michael in person for more information. The following night, October 30, Laurie watches from a distance as Michael and other inmates are loaded onto a bus for transfer to a new facility. Later that night, while Laurie crashes Allyson's celebratory dinner, Michael escapes his transport to the facility. Killing all the security guards, Michael kills a father and his son the steals their car now heading towards Haddonfield. The next day, October 31, Michael murders a mechanic for his jumpsuit, a clerk, the two reporters Aaron and Dana at a gas station. He recovers his mask from the trunk of the podcasters car and continues heading for Haddonfield. After learning about the crash, Laurie breaks into Karen's house. She does this to show both her and Ray how easy it is to get inside their home. The three of them get into an argument and Laurie is forced to leave. Michael begins to kill innocent people in Haddonfield. Meanwhile, Allyson is at the Halloween high school dance. She receives a call from Vicky, who invites her to come over to the house she's babysitting at. Allyson and her boyfriend have a fight so he throws her phone just as Laurie is calling. Vicky tucks her charge, Julian, into bed. She goes downstairs to let her boyfriend in and the two of them start making out. They hear Julian scream so Vicky goes to check it out.
