Meanwhile, Tommy Doyle (the child Laurie Strode babysat in the first film) has his eye on a family who’s moved into the old Myers house across the street from the boarding house where he lives. The boarding house is run by a mysterious old woman named Minnie Blankenship. For seventeen years, Tommy has been obsessed with finding the truth behind the murderous motives of Michael Myers. After hearing Jamie begging for help on a local radio show, Tommy finds her baby at the bus station and takes him into hiding. The people living in the Myers house are relatives of the Strode family (Laurie Strode’s adoptive parents), and among the current residents are Kara Strode and her son Danny, Kara’s teenage brother Tim, and her parents, the doting mother Debra and her abusive husband and Kara’s father John. One by one, Michael stalks each of the Strodes, trying to get to Jamie’s baby. Across the street, Tommy reveals to Kara that Michael has been marked with a runic symbol called Thorn or Thurisaz, an ancient Druid curse that drives a young man to wipe out his entire family for the good of civilization. The plot takes a turn when the Man in Black finally reveals himself as Dr. Wynn from the original Halloween. Wynn has been experimenting with pure evil and has kept his work secret within the bowels of Smith’s Grove Sanitarium (where Michael was held for most of his youth). After a terrifying showdown between Kara and Michael Myers, Tommy and Loomis follow Wynn to the mental hospital where a final bloody conflict erupts, ending with the death of Dr. Wynn and the other 12 doctors and, presumably, Michael Myers himself. The film concludes with the protagonists getting out safely, except for Dr. Loomis, who walks back inside the hospital to take care of “unfinished business.” Inside Wynn’s secret medical lab, however, Michael’s mask has been left on the floor while off-screen we hear the sound of Loomis’s final, fateful scream.
