As Halloween ends ending after the death of Michael Myers, Laurie Strode concludes her memoir and reveals that no headstone has been erected for the killer. Haddonfield cop Frank Hawkins (Will Patton) arrives to strike up a conversation with Laurie, and their romance is rekindled. Knowing that Michael Myers has been finally overcome in a way he can’t come back from, Laurie can finally let go of her fear and her constant need to be on her guard.
The last moments of Halloween ends indicate that Laurie Strode’s story has finally come to an end, and it’s safe to say she will be retiring as a character. That said, the Halloween franchise has repeatedly pulled itself back to tell new stories, so it could very well continue on a new track. Or that happens with more supernatural stories like Halloween III: Season of the Witch or Michael Myers returning in another story unrelated to the Blumhouse trilogy, this probably won’t be the last to see the franchise’s audience. Despite the title of this one, the book is never completely closed Halloween.
