The original "screamqueen" Jamie Lee Curtis teams up with a hot young cast for her return to Halloween: H20. Still struggling to put the memory of killer Michael Myers behind her, survivor Laurie Strode (Curtis) works under an alias as the head mistress of a private school. It's now Halloween twenty years later and Michael is suddenly back in her life with a vengeance...and it's not just Laurie he's after! The terror begins for a whole new generation, including Laurie's rebellious son (Josh Hartnett) and his girlfriend Molly (Michelle Williams). Once again, Laurie must put evil in its place...for good!
"...a full-fledged revenge fantasy..." Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
"A fun ride!" Newsweek
"Non-stop scary!" UPN-TV
"...the real shivers come from watching Curtis so easily reclaim her scream-queen throne." Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
Editor's Note
Twenty years after the original HALLOWEEN, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), now the headmistress of a Northern California private school under an assumed name, is still struggling with the terrifying memories of the psychotic killer Michael Myers. That horror becomes a reality once again when Michael returns, embarking on a murderous roadtrip from Illinois to California, killing three more people and stealing a victim's car before threatening the lives of Laurie's rebellious son (Josh Hartnett), his girlfriend (Michelle Williams), and the school security guard (LL Cool J). It's up to Laurie to conquer her internal demons and end Michael's evil. And a conveniently placed ax might just help her accomplish the task....
