Halloween Ends

Four years after the events that reshaped Haddonfield, Laurie Strode tries to reclaim ordinary life and push fear aside. The town settles into an uneasy rhythm until a babysitting incident becomes a deadly rumor and spirals into violence. The chaos pulls Laurie back into a nightmare she hoped to leave behind, forcing her to measure the cost of safety against the reality of an evil she cannot ignore. As the threat grows, old wounds reopen and the line between protector and prey blurs. This is a story about survival, legacy, and confronting what won't stay buried for everyone. Its mood stays intimate yet unrelenting, using tight shots and sudden silence to keep you on edge even when the action eases.
