Plot
After Laurie Strode (Emma Stone) stabs Michael Myers (Tom Hardy) and he falls into the Doyle family swimming pool, the police and ambulance arrive at the scene. Michael's body, however, has vanished. Dr Sam Loomis (Idris Elba), now limping after Michael stabbed him in the leg, is determined to continue his search and find Michael. He stumbles through the streets and happens upon a squad car driven by his ally, Sheriff Tom Brackett (Bryan Cranston). The two drive off into the night to track Michael down. Meanwhile, Laurie is transported to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, which is under construction.

Brackett is on his way over to the Wallace house, where the bodies of four teenagers have been discovered. He and Loomis watch as the bodies are removed and he recognizes them as friends of his daughter Annie (Lyndsy Fonseca). Brackett then watches in horror as the final body, that of his own daughter, is brought out. A heartbroken Brackett decides to go home for the night, leaving his deputy, Gary Hunt (James Franco) to assist Loomis in finding Michael.

At the hospital, we are introduced to the various staff on duty. Ambulance attendants Budd Scarlotti (Shia LeBeouf) and Jimmy Lloyd (Armie Hammer), Budd's girlfriend Karen Bailey (Megan Fox), kindly nurse Jill Marshall (Carey Mulligan), newest nurse Alice Martin (Kaley Cuoco) who is having an affair with the head doctor, Fred Mixter (Powers Boothe) and head nurse Virginia Alves (Zoe Saldana). Jimmy and Laurie hit it off and he decides to sit in her room and watch over her. Mr Garrett (Kevin James), the lazy security guard, is sent out to the supply room to fix the phone wires, which are down. He finds that someone has cut the wires. Suddenly, Michael appears behind him and ends his life by striking him on the head with a hammer claw.

Budd tries to persuade Karen to have sex with him as they are alone on an empty ward, but Karen refuses, citing the risk of getting caught by Alves. Budd convinces her to meet him in the hospital therapy room and the have sex in the therapy pool. Michael sneaks into the adjacent room and alters the temperature gauge. Karen becomes irate because the pool is to hot and sends Budd to lower the temperature. As he fiddles with the various knobs, Michael appears behind Bud and kills him by bashing his head against the pipes. He then walks up behind Karen and drowns her in the pool.

At the hospital, Alice sneaks into Dr Mixter's office to sleep with him. As she undresses, she notices that he is not responding to her. She turns his chair around and finds that his throat has been slasher. Michael suddenly appears behind her and kills her with a syringe.

Laurie starts to hallucinate so Jimmy goes to look for help. He runs into Jill, who goes to look for Alves while Jimmy goes to look for Mixter. Jill finds Alves in her office and bangs on the screen door. Michael suddenly appears behind Alves and a horrified Jill looks on as he stabs her to death.

Jimmy cannot find Mixter and returns to check on Laurie, only to find her missing. He runs into a sobbing Jill, who tells him about Alves. Michael emerges and stabs Jill in the back with a scalpel, lifting her up off her feet. Jimmy makes a run for it and finds a dazed Laurie wandering the corridors. He tries to snap her out of it, but she doesn't react until Michael appears. He chases the two of them into the hospital basement, where Michael throws Jimmy down a flight of stairs, knocking him out. Laurie escapes in an elevator.

Meanwhile, Loomis' assistant Marion Chambers (Krysten Ritter) arrives in Haddonfield looking for Loomis. She tells him that the governor had previously sealed a file regarding Michael Myers, but in light of his escape he has allowed for it to be opened. It turns out that Michael had a baby sister, Angel, who was put up for adoption at some point after his incarceration. The girl now goes by the name of Laurie Strode. Loomis realizes that Michael must be at the hospital so he, Chambers and Hunt race over there.

Laurie manages to get outside the hospital and limps across the parking lot. Michael bursts out the shadows and continues to pursue her. Laurie trips but continues to crawl. She spots Loomis and the others arriving and tries to call out to him, but he doesn't hear her. Laurie's survival instinct kicks in and she gets up and runs to the front door, banging on it to alert the others to her presence. Loomis lets her in just as Michael arrives and crashes through the glass. Hunt pulls out a gun and shoots Michael, who collapses.

Loomis sends Chambers outside to radio for help, while Hunt inspects Michael's body. Michael suddenly leaps up and kills Hunt by squeezing his head. Laurie and Loomis retreat into the operating room, where Loomis opens several canisters of ether, and is joined by Laurie. Michael breaks through the door and stabs Loomis, but Loomis manages to shove Michael against the wall. He orders Laurie to run and she does. Loomis then uses a lighter to ignite the gas, blowing up both the operating theater and he and Michael. Outside, Laurie is comforted by Chambers.

As the dawn and emergency services arrive, Laurie is reunited with Jimmy and they share a kiss before being placed in the back of an ambulance and driven away from the smoking hospital.
