On October 30, 1988, Michael Myers has been in a comatose state for ten years since the explosion at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. Two paramedics take Michael from the Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium and prepare to transport him back to Smith's Grove Sanitarium by ambulance. En route, Michael awakens from his coma when he learns that his sister Laurie Strode has since died in a car accident but had a daughter, Jamie Lloyd. Killing the ambulance personnel, Michael makes his way to Haddonfield in search of his niece. Dr. Samuel Loomis goes to Haddonfield after learning of Michael's escape from the transfer and gives chase. He arrives at a gas station, where he comes across Michael moments after he killed a mechanic for his clothes, along with a clerk. Michael escapes in a tow truck and causes an explosion, destroying Loomis's car in the process and disabling the phone lines by severing telephone wires in the blast. Alone, Loomis is then forced to catch a ride to Haddonfield. Meanwhile, Jamie is living in Haddonfield with her foster family, Richard and Darlene Carruthers, and their daughter, Rachel. Jamie, whom everyone in Haddonfield knows is Michael's niece, is taunted at school and has nightmares about her uncle. Richard and Darlene head out for the night, and leave Rachel to look after Jamie, causing her to miss her date with her boyfriend, Brady. After school, Rachel takes Jamie to buy some ice cream and a Halloween costume. At the store, which Brady works at, he and Rachel discuss the canceled date, which leads to an argument, while Jamie goes to pick her Halloween costume, choosing a clown costume similar to the one Michael wore when he killed his older sister Judith. The two attempt to reconcile, but Brady later begins favoring his co-worker, Kelly Meeker. Meanwhile, Michael has already arrived in Haddonfield, and nearly attacks Jamie in the store, though he flees. Later that night, as Rachel takes Jamie trick-or-treating, Michael goes to the electrical substation and kills an electrician, causing a citywide blackout. Loomis arrives in Haddonfield and warns Sheriff Ben Meeker, Leigh Brackett's successor and Kelly's father, that Michael has returned. Michael single-handedly murders the town's police force, and a lynch mob is formed by a crew of the town's truckers to kill Michael once Loomis reveals his return. Rachel discovers Brady cheating on her with Kelly, who convinces Brady to rejoin her inside where they have sex. During this, Rachel loses track of Jamie but finds her after being chased briefly by Michael. Sheriff Meeker and Loomis arrive and take the girls to the sheriff's house with Brady, Kelly, and a deputy. Sheriff Meeker warns Brady to stay away from Kelly, who briefly clashes with Rachel. In spite of tensions, the group barricades the house, not knowing that Michael has already gotten inside by hiding in the back of the deputy's squad car. Fearing what Michael may do next, Loomis departs to look for him on his own. With Sheriff Meeker in the basement awaiting the arrival of the state police, he too decides to go out and protect his town. Once he leaves, Michael appears and kills the deputy, then impales Kelly with his gun. Discovering the bodies, Rachel and Jamie flee to the attic while Brady attempts to stop Michael with a shotgun. When the weapon jams, Michael twists his head and throat, killing him. The girls climb through a window onto the roof, and Jamie is lowered down safely, but Michael attacks Rachel and knocks her off the roof. Jamie manages to escape. Pursued by Michael, Jamie runs down the street and finds Loomis. They take shelter in the school, but Michael appears and throws Loomis through a classroom door window before chasing Jamie through the building. Before Michael can kill her, Rachel, who survived the fall, appears and subdues him with a fire extinguisher. Members of the lynch mob arrive at the school and agree to take Jamie and Rachel to the next town in a pickup truck, where they intend to meet up with the Illinois State Police en route to Haddonfield. The Police direct them to a substation just up the road where they will be safe. However, Michael climbs aboard the truck, and kills the men in the back before ripping open the driver's neck. Rachel takes the wheel, throwing Michael off of the truck and ramming into him, sending him flying into a ditch. Sheriff Meeker, surviving members of the lynch mob, and the state police arrive, and when Michael rises after Jamie touches his hand, they relentlessly shoot Michael before he falls down a mine shaft. Loomis and Sheriff Meeker take Rachel and Jamie back home. Darlene and Richard, who have arrived home, console the girls. As Darlene goes upstairs to run Jamie a bath, Jamie, possessed by Michael's rage stabs her with a pair of scissors though not fatal. Loomis, Sheriff Meeker, Mr. Carruthers, and Rachel watch in horror, realizing that Jamie is following in Michael's footsteps.
