Halloween 6 – Premise
The horror movie starts six years after the initial events involving Michael going on a killing spree with a distressed Jamie giving birth to her son in the care of a group of doctors on Halloween’s Eve while in the confinement of Michael and the leader of a satanic cult, as they eagerly wait to sacrifice the baby to fulfil their desires.
The moment Jamie births her son, he is taken by the head doctor to the cult leader, who starts to perform a ritual before sacrificing the baby but is disrupted by an angry yet terrified Jamie who steals her son back with the doctor’s help who is killed by Michael while trying to escape from the isolated region only for Meyers to follow her.
Jamie hides in a guy’s truck while trying to escape from her uncle’s clasp but the guy is also killed by Michael before Jamie can escape from Michael in a pick-up truck with her baby while Miachel continues to follow Jamie. Meanwhile, Dr Teence Wynn, Smith’s Grove Sanitarium’s chief administrator, visits a retired Dr. Sam Loomis, where Michael was incarcerated as a young boy.
Wynn requests Loomis to return to Smith’s Grove before the pair overhears Jamie’s cries for help on a local radio station, but before they can do anything to help her, she is killed by Michael in cold blood before he realizes that Jamie has hidden her child somewhere else to keep him safe.
Meanwhile, in Haddonfield, Laurie Strode’s relatives Debra and John Strode now own the house that previously belonged to Myers, where the couple lives with their two adult children Tim, Kara and Kara’s six-year-old son, who is tormented with visions of a man in black commanding his to commit a murder.
Tommy, the young boy that Laurie used to babysit in the 1978s now a handsome grown adult who lives at a boarding house across the street researches for the reason behind Michael’s motive.
Once Tommy takes his loved ones to safety, he informs them about his research, stating his thoughts on Myers being under the influence of Thorn, an ancient Druid curse that results in the person killing their family on Halloween night, before further informing them about Steven being his last sacrifice.
Meanwhile, everyone’s nightmare, Michael returns to his childhood home where he kills John, Debra, Tim and his girlfriend while Mrs. Blankenship, the boarding house’s owner responsible for babysitting a young Michael on the night he ended his sister’s life informs Danny and Kara about Danny hearing the same voices Miachel used to hear, as a child.
The man in black everyone witnessed at the movie’s beginning summons Danny to Michael’s house, which forces Kara to come out of hiding to protect her son from Myers. Well, the man in black is revealed to be none other than Dr. Wynn after the cult members burst in with Mrs. Blankenship’s help.
Kara, Steven and Danny are abducted by Mrs Blankenship, with Kara being kept in a high-security ward isolated from the boys, while the boys are kept together in the operation room. This leads Loomis and Tommy to break into the sanitarium to confront Wynn, who informs the pair about the staff of Smith Groove’s studying evil to learn to control it, further revealing that Danny is the successful result of IVF to clone Myer’s DNA.
Wynn brings Sam back to Smith Grove as he wants the doctor to join his cause, who refuses and gets knocked out by Wynn. Meanwhile, Kara is freed by Tommy before they are pursued by Myers in the sanitarium before the two are forced to watch Wynn and his team preparing for a surgical procedure before Myers’s arrival who turns against his team and ends the life of everyone involved.
The film ends with Kara and Tommy rescuing the kids before Myers chases them into a laboratory containing fetuses from Wynn’s failed experiments. The pair escapes with the kids before Tommy injects Michael with a corrosive liquid, and Sam stays behind to take care of the remaining business.
