🕯️ Plot Summary

Halloween: A New Chapter breathes terrifying new life into the iconic franchise, picking up five years after the events of Halloween Ends. Haddonfield is quiet once again—but evil has a habit of returning home.

When a series of eerily familiar murders shakes the town on Halloween night, authorities and residents are forced to confront a horrifying truth: Michael Myers might not be dead after all. Or worse—his legacy of evil may have found a new vessel.

Allyson, traumatized and trying to move on, is drawn back into the nightmare when she discovers a chilling connection between the new killings and her family’s past. As she teams up with Detective Claire Monroe, a specialist in ritualistic crimes, they uncover a dark conspiracy—one that blurs the lines between myth and reality, and suggests Michael’s evil may be more than just flesh and blood.
