Plot
Judith Myers (Bryce Dallas Howard) is at home alone on Halloween Night. Her younger brother Michael (Ty Simpkins) has just gone out trick or treating. Judith's boyfriend Steve Haley (Jai Courtney) arrives and they go upstairs to have sex. Unknown to them, an unseen person comes in through the back door and takes a large knife from the kitchen. Steve leaves, and the intruder goes upstairs, where a naked Judith is sitting in front of her vanity mirror. She looks up and catches the figure in the reflection; she is horrified to recognize them as Michael, wearing his Halloween mask. She tries to cover herself up and yells at Michael, who then reveals the knife in his hand and he viciously stabs her to death.

Steve realizes that he forgot something and comes back over to get it. While there, he decides to make himself a sandwich. Michael enters and caves Steve's head in with a baseball bat from behind. Michael's parents (Steve Buscemi and Julie Benz) then arrive home to find a bloodied Michael sitting on the front porch cradling his baby sister Angel.

Fifteen years later, Michael (Tom Hardy) has been locked away in Smith's Grove Sanitarium. He is finally due to stand trial for his brutal crimes and is being transferred from Smith's Grove. Dr Sam Loomis (Idris Elba), the child psychologist who took Michael's case, visits Michael and apologizes for failing to help him over the past fifteen years. However, during the transfer, Michael breaks free of his chains and escapes, murdering the security detail while doing so.

Michael makes his way to a truck stop, where he meets a trucker and murders him before stealing his clothes. Loomis is informed of Michael's escape and sets off for Haddonfield.

The next day, Halloween, we meet Laurie Strode (Emma Stone) and her two school friends, Lynda Van Der Klok (Amanda Seyfried) and Annie Brackett (Lyndsy Fonseca). It turns out that both Laurie and Annie have babysitting jobs for that evening; Laurie is looking after Tommy Doyle (Bradley Steven Perry) and Annie is watching Lindsay Wallace (Bella Thorne). Annie, however, tries to persuade Laurie to look after them both so she can spend the night with her boyfriend, Ben Tramer (Aaron Paul).

Sheriff Tom Brackett (Bryan Cranston) arrives at the local cemetery to investigate the scene of a murder. The graveyard caretaker has been found dead and one of the tombstones stolen. Also present at the scene is Dr Loomis, who explains to Brackett that Michael has escaped and that he has most likely committed the killing. The two investigate and learn that the headstone was taken from Judith Myers' grave. Unknown to Brackett, Loomis has already bought himself a gun.

That night, in honour of Halloween, Lynda decides to take her boyfriend Paul Freeman (Henry Cavill) to the Myers house to have sex. After having sex, Lynda sets Paul to get them some more beer from his van. Upon his return, Michael appears at the top of the stairs. He tackles Paul, pins him to the wall, and stabs him. Michael disguises himself with a sheet and Paul's glasses, making Lynda think Paul is dressed as a ghost. While she is texting Laurie on her phone, Michael comes up behind her and chokes her to death.

Meanwhile at the Strode house, as Laurie sets off for the Doyle house, her parents bid her farewell and go back inside. There is a knock at the door and her father answers it, expecting trick or treaters, but finds nobody. He walks around the back to try and find the pranksters, but hears his wife screaming and runs back inside. He finds Michael standing inside and jumps to his wife's defence, but to no avail; Michael slices his throat and breaks Ms Strode's neck.

At the Doyle house, while Laurie and Tommy hang out, Annie arrives to drop off Lindsay. While Laurie entertains them, Annie and Ben head over to the now empty Wallace house to have sex. Michael, however, secretly watches and then attacks them, killing Ben. He chases Annie through the house and she tries to climb out the window, but he pulls her back. Laurie thinks she hears something across the street and looks out the window, but sees nothing out of the ordinary. Michael then kills Annie.

At the Doyle house, Laurie puts the children to bed and decides to go for a walk, strolling over to the Wallace house. She notices that all the lights are out so takes a look around the house. She goes upstairs and finds Annie's body on the bed with Judith's headstone above her. Laurie is horrified and subsequently stumbles upon the bodies of the others. As she walks out into the hallway, Michael emerges from the shadows and slashes her arm, knocking her over the rail and onto the stairs. She manages to limp back to the Doyle house, where she wakes Tommy up and he lets her in just in time. Laurie orders him to lock himself and Lindsay in the upstairs bedroom to keep themselves safe. As he runs upstairs, Michael crashes through the window. but Laurie manages to subdue him by jamming a knitting needle into his neck.

Laurie goes upstairs and alerts Tommy and Lindsay that the danger is over. Tommy then notices Michael coming up the stairs. Laurie locks them into the on suite and then hides in the closet. Michael follows her and tears through the door, but Laurie temporarily blinds him by jabbing a coat hanger in his eye. She then picks up his knife and slashes him with it, incapacitating him. Laurie instructs Tommy and Lindsay to run down the road to a neighbor's house to call the police. On their way, they are spotted by Loomis, who makes his way to the Doyle house.

Michael, meanwhile, wakes up and attacks Laurie once again, causing both of them to fall down the stairs. Loomis arrives and shoots Michael, who drags Laurie across the floor. Michael grabs a knife and stabs Loomis in the leg. Loomis, although now stuck on the floor due to his injury, manages to retrieve his gun and shoot Michael again. Laurie then grabs Michael's knife and stabs him the chest, shoving him away and sending him crashing through the door, his body falling into the swimming pool. Laurie runs to Loomis' side, but he end up consoling her instead. She helps him to his feet and then sits down at the table, softly weeping. Loomis walks outside and is shocked to find the pool empty, Michael's body gone.
