Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers recap
Six years later, Jamie, now fifteen, has been held by a cult led by the man in black and gives birth on Halloween eve. A nurse helps her escape with the baby, but Michael catches her and kills her, not before she hides the baby in a bus station. Tommy Doyle, the boy Laurie babysat in 1978 and now an obsessive adult, finds the baby and names him Steven. The Strode family has moved into the Myers house, and Kara Strode, a single mother with a young son, Danny, is caught up in Michael's killings of her family. Tommy explains the curse of Thorn, a druid curse that drives the chosen one to kill his family on Halloween. Retired Dr. Loomis is visited by his old colleague Dr. Wynn.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers ending explained
Wynn is the man in black, and his cult has been studying and breeding Michael at Smith's Grove; Steven is the result. The cult takes Kara, Danny and Steven there, but Michael kills Wynn and the cultists. Tommy beats Michael down with a lead pipe after injecting him with a corrosive fluid, and leaves with Kara and the children. Loomis stays behind, and the film ends on Michael's empty mask and Loomis's scream. H20 ignores this whole storyline.
