However, when Michael manages to escape his fiery trap, he resumes his killing spree with greater ferocity than ever before, inspiring a vigilante mob – made up of present survivors including Laurie’s daughter Karen (Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Matichak), and those who made it through Michael’s 1978 massacre including Tommy Doyle (Hall) and Lindsey Wallace (Richards) – to hunt down Michael once and for all…
