The history of Halloween

For those not familiar with the story behind "Halloween," the franchise follows the murderous Michael Myers, who started his killing spree when he was just 8-years-old by killing his oldest sister, Judith.

Michael was then institutionalized until he was 21-years-old, and then he escaped his prison and headed back to his former hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, where he tracked down his youngest sister, Laurie Strode, who had been adopted after her parents died when she was a young child. Michael then begins killing Laurie's friends and attacks her as well.

However, she escapes his wrath, but the terror continues for decades to come.

Could this latest "Halloween" movie be the one where Laurie finally kills her evil older brother? It looks like fans will have to wait until fall 2018 to find out all it all plays out.
