Confronting Past Relationships and Their Impact
John Tate
Dad would let me go.
[''His mother won't let him go away on an overnight school camping trip'']
Laurie Strode
Well, Dad is an abusive, chain-smoking methadone addict.
John Tate
Who would attract someone like that?
Laurie Strode
Ouch.
John Tate
And to think he left you.
Laurie Strode
John! I know you get your smart mouth from my side of the family. So I'll cut you a break. But point check, you're going too far!
John Tate
No, I'm going to Yosemite.
Laurie Strode
No, you're not!

Look, Mom, help me out here. I need a little more open air, I've earned it. Look, I know that today is the day...

Halloween.
Laurie Strode
Oh, I hadn't noticed.

The Nature of Pure Evil
Doctor Sam Loomis
I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding. Not even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil.

Identity Revealed in Unexpected Conversation
Laurie Strode
I'm not who you think I am.
Will Brennan
Okay. Who are you?
Laurie Strode
My name's not Kerri Tate.
Will Brennan
Ooh. What is it?
Laurie Strode
Laurie Strode.
Will Brennan
Strode?
Laurie Strode
Strode. I changed my name when I went into hiding.
Will Brennan
Oh, I like that. That's like...like...like the Witness Protection Program. What did you, like, rat out the mob, or something?
Laurie Strode
My brother killed my sister...when she was seventeen.
Will Brennan
Well, that's...sickly. How'd he do that?
Laurie Strode
With a really big sharp kitchen knife.
Will Brennan
That's terrible. Take off your clothes.
Laurie Strode
You said you'd listen.
Will Brennan
Okay.
Laurie Strode
They locked him up for a long time, but he got out and...he came after me. But I got away. But he killed a lot of my friends. It happened; ...on Halloween.
[''in unison with Will Brennan'']
Laurie Strode
You've heard the whole story.
Will Brennan
Who hasn't? Michael Myers. It's like twenty years ago, right?
Laurie Strode
1978.
Will Brennan
And the girl that... What happened to the sister? She died, right?
Laurie Strode
No. She faked her death...and, now, she's the head mistress of a very posh, secluded private school in Northern California.
Will Brennan
What?
Laurie Strode
Hoping and praying every year...that her brother won't find her.
Will Brennan
You're telling me the truth?!
Laurie Strode
Now, do you want a drink?

A Family's Dark History Ruins Halloween Celebrations
John Tate
It just occurred to me today that I've never celebrated Halloween before.
Molly Cartwell
And why's that?
John Tate
Oh, we've got a psychotic serial killer in the family who loves to butcher people on Halloween, and I just thought it in bad taste to celebrate.

Confronting Fear and Redemption in Victor's Journey
Laurie Strode
Molly please, do you have any thoughts on Victor and Elizabeth?
Molly Cartwell
Well, um, well I think that Victor should have confronted the monster sooner. He's completely responsible for Elizabeth's death because he was so paralyzed by fear that he never did anything. It took death for the guy to get a clue.
Laurie Strode
And why do you think he was finally able to confront his monster?
Molly Cartwell
I think that Victor had reached a point in his life where he had nothing left to lose. I mean, the monster saw to that by killing off everybody that he loved. Victor finally had to face it. It was about redemption... it was his fate.

Tension Between Mother and Son Unfolds
Laurie Strode
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
[after catching John and Charlie out of school]
John Tate
Mom, I'm real uncomfortable with you saying that word.
Laurie Strode
Then don't put me in the position, John! Do you know what day it is? Of all the days for you to pull this shit, just what do you think you can do? Just wander around town? I don't ask you for very much, just give me one day!
John Tate
Mom, I've given 17 years!
Laurie Strode
And I need you to be responsible! Do you know what that means?
John Tate
Responsible?
Laurie Strode
Responsible!
John Tate
Don't talk to me about responsibility, Mom!
Laurie Strode
I just need this one thing!
John Tate
Mom, I am not responsible for you. That's it; I've had enough. I can't take it anymore, Mom. He's dead. Michael Myers is dead!
Laurie Strode
What do you want me to say?
John Tate
That it's over, that we should try to make some attempt at a happy existence, Mom, cause all the shit that's going on inside of your head is leaking out on me, and I can't take it anymore. You told me, yourself, you watched him burn.
Laurie Strode
I didn't exactly stay to see his ashes, John.
John Tate
Mom, 20 years. 20 years. Don't you think he would've shown up by now? What's he waiting for, huh? Mom, I can't live like this
[''Laurie doesn't respond''; ''Starts to walk away'']
Laurie Strode
What...What does that mean, John?
John Tate
If you wanna stay handcuffed to your dead brother, that's fine, but you're not dragging me along, not anymore!
