Biography[]

Early life[]

Allyson was born in Haddonfield, Illinois in 2001 to parents Karen and Ray Nelson. She also met her grandmother Laurie Strode on occasion, but never visited her house. At some point in her early life, she met her two best friends Vicky and Dave and also her boyfriend, Cameron Elam.

2018 massacre[]

One morning in October, before heading off to school, Allyson sat at the kitchen table to finish off some homework and asked her mother if she had invited her grandmother to the dinner they planned for that evening. Karen explained that she did but Laurie had no intention of coming. Annoyed, at her mother, Allyson left when Vicky and Dave arrived.

Allyson Nelson and friends — Allyson, Vicky, and Dave walk to school together

When walking to school, Allyson confided in Vicky and Dave and told them about her family's history with Halloween. Dave explained that by today's standards, having only a few deaths is not something the town would worry about. Vicky told him to shut up and, to lighten the mood, he exploded a nearby pumpkin head and the three friends ran to school. When Allyson is retrieving her books from her locker, Cameron snuck up on her and the two kissed and laughed. They spoke about their costumes for the school's Halloween dance until Cameron's best friend, Oscar came up and jokingly kissed them both on the foreheads. After messing around the three headed to class. While sitting at her desk, Allyson looked out of the window beside her and noticed her grandmother staring at her from across the street. Not thinking much of it, Allyson put her focus back on the class.

She later met with Laurie beside the track field in school where she was given $3,000. She refused to take it, but when Laurie insisted, she told her she would save it for college. Laurie insisted she forget about college and told her to move somewhere to get away from Haddonfield. Before Laurie left, Allyson explained that she allowed Michael Myers to take priority over her life and it cost her her family. Her grandmother told her that if Karen hates her but is prepared for danger, she can live with that outcome. Later, Allyson managed to get into the honor society and she celebrated with her parents and Cameron at dinner that evening. The four talk about the Halloween dance the next night until Laurie finally arrived. She congratulated Allyson on her achievement and told her about her time in the honor society. However, when she sat down at the table, she began to cry and told them about seeing Michael Myers again as he was being transferred. She left the table and ran out with Karen showing little to no remorse for her causing an angry Allyson to chase after her grandmother.

She eventually reached Laurie and embraced and comforted her. Once she calmed down, Ray and Cameron helped her into her truck and she drove off. Karen then approached Allyson and told her all about her traumatic childhood with Laurie. Ray then comforted Karen and the four left the restaurant. The next night, at the Halloween dance, Oscar took plenty of photos of Cameron and Allyson dressed as Bonnie and Clyde and the couple enjoyed dancing for most of the night until Allyson got a call from Vicky and had to step outside. She told Allyson that she was about to put the kid she was babysitting to sleep and his parents wouldn't be home for hours so they could go to their house and bring some "alakazam" with them. Allyson laughed and told her they would be there soon. However, when she went back into the dance she caught Cameron making out with another girl. Distraught and heartbroken, she ran back out with Cameron not far behind. He apologized and she discovered that he was wasted and was about to leave him until she got another call from Laurie. Angry and drunk, Cameron threw her phone into a bowl of nacho cheese, causing Allyson to leave the dance completely, Oscar accompanying her.

The two walked down the street and Allyson exclaimed that she was so stupid for falling for Cameron's charm but Oscar told her that she was the prettiest, nicest and coolest girl in school and anyone who doesn't appreciate her is a crazy person. She thanked him and he told her about a shortcut to get home faster. The two climbed into a field and when they landed, Oscar kissed Allyson without her permission and she angrily told him to back off. She called him pathetic for trying to force himself on her and she left to walk down the street. When still in earshot Allyson could hear Oscar's desperate cries for help as he was being murdered by an escaped Michael Myers but she took it as him simply calling her back. After a while, she gave in and returned to see what was wrong only to see Oscar's corpse hanging on a fence with the spike stabbed through his jaw. She then spotted Michael Myers walking into her view and ran for her life, screaming and banging on people's doors to let her into safety. She eventually managed to get the attention of people and they let her in to calm her down.

Allyson screams — Allyson cries for help from the police car

Deputy Hawkins then reached the house along with Dr. Sartain and they took Allyson in the police car with them. The three drive around the neighborhood looking out for Michael and, when they spotted him, Hawkins rammed the car into him, rendering him unconscious. Sartain and Hawkins left the car to inspect the body but Hawkins was then stabbed by Sartain, who was one that caused Michael to escape in the first place. Sartain brought Michael back to the police car, beside Allyson, and took off his mask. He explained that his plan was to reunite Michael with Laurie and they drove off to her house. While driving, Allyson explained that she heard Michael say something and when Sartain stopped the car to hear what she had to say, Michael awakened and Allyson began to panic. However, he simply glanced at her and tried to push the car seat Sartain was sitting in and crush him. He dragged the doctor out and stomped on his head, killing him. This gave Allyson enough time to run and she ran into the woods leading to her grandmother's house.

She ran through the woods as fast as she could until she reached the back of her grandmother's house where she saw the many damaged mannequins and screamed in terror. By the time Allyson got inside, Michael had already arrived and had an intense scuffle with Laurie, managing to throw her off the balcony of her home. Allyson called out for her grandmother, which caught Michael's attention, but Karen quickly emerged from the basement and called out to Allyson and the two hid and tried their best to stay silent. The two began to panic when Michael managed to discover the entrance to the basement and attempted to pry the kitchen island off of its hinges. Karen quickly grabbed a gun from her childhood and pointed it at the entrance. When the island finally came off, she cried out for him to stop and exclaimed that she could not shoot. Michael then appeared at the entrance but Karen revealed to be simply acting and shot him in the face. Laurie then emerged from the darkness and fought him off again, managing to knock him into the basement, with Karen and Allyson quickly running out. However, Michael managed to grab Karen's leg and tried to pull her back down, quickly, Allyson noticed his bloody knife and used it to stab him in the wrist and knock him back into the basement. It was then sealed with iron bars and set on fire by Laurie, seemingly ending the nightmare.

The three generations of women then helped each other out of the house and Allyson managed to flag down a passing truck. The three held each other close and Allyson still held tightly onto the bloody knife.^[1]

Chasing Michael[]

Allyson arrives at Haddonfield Memorial Hospital with Laurie and Karen, being approached by a doctor who recommends she should have a nurse look at her, to which Allyson assures him that she is fine and that the blood on her hands is not hers. Allyson sits on a staircase as Laurie is operated on and Karen comes to her to inform her that Laurie will recover, the two sharing an embrace as Allyson tearfully says that her father is gone. Allyson later goes into Laurie's room while the latter is sleeping and being watched over by Karen and then outside, where she recognizes an unconscious Hawkins as he is being lifted down the hallway and she spots Sartain's corpse in the morgue. An officer approaches Allyson to ask her a few questions and the pair go to another room, where Allyson admits that she was told she could never acknowledge the tragedy of the 1978 Halloween murders and that it as though her mother feared that her grandmother was correct about "the Boogeyman" being real. When asked by the officer of how Michael knew where Laurie lived, Allyson explains it was Sartain's obsession to see the pair together again and that he drove Michael to her.

Allyson angrily reacts to discovering Michael is still alive and is confronted by Cameron, who informs her that he is joining his dad and Tommy Doyle in going after Michael and that she is welcome to come, Allyson hugging him afterward. Karen at the same time is trying to get protection for Laurie, under the belief that Michael is coming for her, and Allyson calls for her. Karen tells Allyson to sit in Laurie's room before Cameron reveals their plan and Allyson states her intent to join them. Karen tells Allyson that they failed since Michael still lived despite the trap they set and repeats her order for Allyson to sit in Laurie's room before yelling. Allyson complies, watching over Laurie while wrapping a knife in a piece of clothing and telling her unconscious grandmother that the knife was for her whenever she needs it. She writes a note and leaves the room, going outside and getting a gun from Lonnie Elam. Allyson remarks that Michael has haunted Haddonfield for 40 years and that they would hunt him down tonight.

Allyson sits in the backseat of Lonnie's car as they search for Michael and she asks him if he knew her father, Allyson laughing as Lonnie reflects on his past with Ray before beginning to cry as Cameron spots Tommy by Lindsey's car. Tommy states that Michael is there and the three come out of the car to begin looking for Lindsey, Allyson finding her and alerting the others. The three decide to go the Myers house after Lonnie concludes this is Michael's intended destination and they pull up outside, Allyson stating that the three will go in together. Lonnie reveals his intent to go in alone and Allyson asks if he expects her to sit by while he confronts the man who killed her father. She complies as Lonnie enters the house and Allyson and Cameron then hear a shot, the two leaving the car to enter the house. Allyson has her gun drawn and shoots a pumpkin in the closet after being startled by Cameron. The duo hear a noise upstairs and quietly move to the house's second story, where they find the corpses of Big John and Little John, who were murdered by Michael earlier in the night.

Allyson comes over to the corpses while Cameron leaves the room, Allyson removing a knife from Little John's chest. Cameron finds the body of his father and Michael comes out of a closet, grabbing him as he fires a shot, alerting Allyson. She calls out his name and sees Michael as he is attacking Cameron, Allyson trying to shoot Michael before he grabs her gun. Allyson stabs Michael with the knife she removed from Little John and is thrown down the staircase by Michael, breaking her leg in the process and letting out a scream of pain. Allyson and Cameron call for each other and Michael continues killing Cameron. As Michael begins to come downstairs, he turns to Cameron, and Allyson yells for Michael to leave him alone. Michael then snaps Cameron's neck and Allyson screams. Michael comes over to Allyson and she yells, "Do it!" twice before Karen stabs Michael in the back with a pitch fork. Allyson reacts with worry as Karen calls for Michael to come and get his mask from her and she runs away. After luring Michael into a trap where he is confronted by Haddonfield residents, Karen comes back to comfort Allyson, who asks her if Michael will always be here. A short time later, after Allyson leaves, Karen goes up to Judith's room and Michael stabs her to death.

Interim[]

In the four years that followed the 2018 spree, Allyson moved out of her previous house and into a new home with Laurie. She began working as a nurse for Tanner Mathis. Sometime after Halloween 2019, she heard about Corey Cunningham after the latter accidentally killed Jeremy Allen. Despite not knowing him, she felt a kinship with him due to their shared experience of having a tragedy that conditioned others to believe they knew them. She also dated Doug Mulaney for some period before breaking it off.

Meeting Corey[]

A few days before Halloween, the smoke detector in Allyson and Laurie's house goes off. The duo runs down the staircase, with Allyson asking Laurie what is happening and the latter explains that her pie was burning. Allyson moves to get the fire extinguisher as Laurie laments that she was trying to bake her a pie, Allyson commenting that she could get a pie from the store, and Laurie explaining that she wanted a homemade one for her as part of a Halloween tradition. With the crisis averted, Allyson cracks a smile and tells Laurie that she had to go and was late for work, Laurie asking if she has her costume for the party. Allyson tells her that she does not want to go alone and is thus not going, before leaving the house. At the gas station, Corey is assailed by a band of high-schoolers who are upset with him for not buying them a beer, and mock him for Jeremy's death, Laurie intervening and taking Corey to Allyson's workplace. At the same time, Allyson is talking to Deb Jennings, who compliments her cat mask as looking great on her. Allyson asks if she is sure that it does and reiterates that she is not going.

Noticing Laurie walking up, Allyson smiles as she removes the mask. Laurie explains that Corey has had an accident and needs to be fixed up. Allyson goes with Dr. Mathis to check on Corey, Mathis numbing Corey's finger so that Allyson can clean it up and Mathis can come back and close it. Mathis asks Corey if Allyson is cute and Corey hesitates before the table is knocked over, Mathis reacting angrily by asking Allyson what she is doing and the latter apologizing. Allyson moves to clean up the mess by crouching and the frustrated Mathis tells her to give Corey a tetanus shot before leaving. Allyson gets up from the floor and puts the dirty table in the room's sink. Corey tells her that she should not let Mathis talk to her like that, and she turns her head to side to glare at him. As he concludes that doing this will make her sad even if she does not think it will, Allyson turns to him with a smile and says that she has dealt with much worse, but still thanks him.

As she goes to take his hand, she explains that she has been dealing with it and was supposed to get a promotion. Corey asks her if it is worth it and she looks at him, asking what he did. As Corey hesitates, Allyson clarifies that she meant his hand and Corey lies by saying that he had an accident at work. Remarking that his job sucks too, Allyson asks where Corey works and what he does. Corey answers that he is employed at a mechanic shop, and Allyson directs him not to move so that his hand does not get infected. Allyson tells him that her car has been rattling, and Corey tells her it is an easy fix, with her exhaust system having come loose and that it can be fixed in five minutes. After she finishes taking a look at his hand, the two go outside, where Corey goes under her car. Allyson tells him that he does not have to fix it right away and Corey tells her that he can fix it the next day at the shop.

Allyson asks him why the bicycle cannot stand on its own, and Corey corrects her that it can, before she answers that it was "too tired." Corey laughs and tells her that she can have his bike since he is getting rid of it for a motorcycle. Allyson asks if he will teach her how to ride it, and he agrees to, Allyson then pointing out the mess on his back, likely remnants of his encounter with the school band at the gas station. She goes behind him and starts removing it with her hand, commenting that they should go out sometime. Corey asks if she means with him, and Allyson replies that it would have to have both of them or it would not be a very good time. Corey warns her that she does not want to do that, telling her that he is going to be late for dinner, but thanking her for fixing up his hand. Allyson returns home and talks with Lindsey and Laurie, telling the latter that she "did that on purpose." Laurie denies this and Allyson asks Lindsey if she believes her.

Lindsey tells her to pick a card and Allyson laments that she got the death card, with Lindsey telling that this means a new phase is beginning and an old one is ending, furthering that this puts the nail in the coffin of her relationship with the cop she dated. Allyson then mentions Doug by name with a smirk. Allyson texts Corey, asking him if he wants to go to a costume party, the latter attempting to turn her down by writing that he does not have a costume. Allyson retorts that she can fix that, and later supplies him with one. Allyson arrives at the mechanic shop and is greeted by Ronald, who asks if there is something he can help her with. Allyson replies that Corey told her that she should bring it in. Corey drives up to her on his motorcycle, instructing Allyson to get on. She complies and sits happily while Corey gives instructions on how to ride it, telling her it is simple, although she disagrees. Corey tries to leave Allyson's side to take care of her car's rattle, but the latter reveals she does not care about the rattle and came to see him.

Allyson and Corey arrive at the costume party. Deb comes up to Allyson and hugs her. Allyson tells Corey that she will be right back and will get them a drink, going with Deb. When they meet up with Lindsey, Deb reveals that Allyson is on a date with Corey, who she calls "the guy that killed that kid." Lindsey tells Allyson not to listen and that she can be with whoever she wants to. Allyson agrees, saying that right now she is "with him" and walks over to Corey, handing him a drink. Allyson and Corey dance together and take pictures in a booth. At one point, Corey drops to the floor and Allyson hovers over him, smiling as she caresses his face. Corey goes to get a drink and encounters Jeremy's mother Theresa, who chastises him for the death of her son, and makes a public scene that causes Corey to storm out. Allyson notices his departure and begins following him outside, screaming when it appears he is going to be hit by a car.

Corey asks her why she took him there and cites this as the reason he does not go out, asking where she went. Allyson tells him that she did not know what was happening in there, and starts to say that she was just trying to help him, before Corey exclaims that he is not her project. Allyson says that she knows this and then adds that she knows what it is like to have everyone looking at you and thinking they know you and what you have been through, even though they do not. Allyson tells Corey that when she looks at him, she just sees a person trying to figure things out and trying to wake up every day without being scared and alone. Corey cites the difference between them being that people see Allyson as a survivor and hero with struggles, and him as a psycho and child killer, ending that she cannot fix him and that he will spare her the heartache before walking away. Allyson extends her arms and begins tearing up, placing her hands over her face.

As Corey tries walking home, he is stopped by the high school band again, and ends up thrown over a ledge, after which Michael comes out of a cave and pulls him inside. After returning home, an angered Allyson is hitting the microwave out of frustration that she cannot turn it on. Laurie advises her to calm down and Allyson replies that her grandmother should just let her be mad, and asks why she cannot be mad. Laurie tells her that she can be, but warns her that it can be addictive. Allyson looks at the pictures of Corey and herself at the Halloween party, admitting to Laurie that she was right and that she liked him. Corey has met Michael, who spares him, and ends up killing a homeless man in self-defense, while Allyson is turned down for the promotion to charge nurse in favor of Deb. The latter asks her if she has no hard feelings about it, and Allyson says that Deb deserves it.

Later, Corey startles Laurie at her home and tells her that he is waiting for Allyson. Allyson comes outside and asks if everything is okay, Corey explaining that he was jumped again by the kids from the gas station and that he came to talk to Allyson. Corey apologizes for what he did and requests that she take a walk with him. Allyson goes with him and the two walk until Corey reveals he killed someone, Allyson stopping in place. She and Corey stare at each other until he extends his hand, and she takes it. Corey and Allyson go to the abandoned Allen home, entering through the window. Allyson plays a note on Roger's piano and Corey reflects on what happened. Allyson discusses her feelings of kinship with him and the pair stare at each other from the top and bottom of the staircase.

Allyson and Corey go to a diner, where Corey asks her why she does not leave Haddonfield. Allyson replies that all of her memories are there and Corey theorizes that Laurie is trying to make Allyson her child due to her guilt over Allyson's parents dying. Allyson tells Corey that if he could have seen Laurie before therapy and that she is terrified to think what would happen if Laurie were left alone in her absence. Corey holds Allyson's hand as he confesses that when he sees her, he knows he can tell the truth and that if she can tell him if she wants to "burn it down" or "burn it to the ground." Doug approaches their table and reminds Allyson that she said she would call but did not. Allyson admits that she owes him a call and as Doug inquiries if he did something wrong, Allyson tells him that she's with someone as she looks at Corey. Corey becomes frustrated as Doug is telling them that it is Joe Grillo's birthday and they are welcome to get a slice of cake, Allyson noticing this and responding that they are good. As Doug continues, Corey shouts that Allyson said they were good and Doug recognizes him from his trial, asking Allyson if she calls "Mr. Aggravated Manslaughter" at night when she cannot sleep and if she feels safe with him when she sees the Boogeyman in her nightmares.

The angered Corey jumps out of his chair and stands up to Doug, Allyson looking away as the conflict ends. Corey sits by Allyson and she whispers "Just burn it all to the ground." Corey remarks that he will light the match. Corey drops Allyson off at her home and they kiss. She asks if he wants to come in and he declines. After killing Doug with assistance from Michael, Corey comes back to the house and rings the bell. Allyson comes downstairs and opens the door for him, noticing his new injuries immediately and asking if he is okay. Corey says he does not know what is happening to him and Allyson asks him what is going on. Corey moves to sit on the couch and Allyson asks who did this to him, telling him to look at her. Corey asks her if Michael let her live or if she escaped. Allyson touches his forehead injury and asks him if it hurts. He says it does not and she answers that her mother saved her. The two kiss as they walk upstairs and have sex in Allyson's bedroom, the latter falling asleep as Corey notices his mask on her dresser, allowing him to retake it.

At work, Deb asks Allyson if she is sleeping with Corey and mocks the relationship, even imaging what it would have been like for Laurie to have fallen in love with Michael. An irritated Allyson asks Deb what her problem is before telling her that she talks to her as though she is not even there and asks if she ever considers shutting her mouth. Mathis comes into the room as Deb leaves and hands Allyson a folder, the latter watching Mathis and Deb walking together before slamming the folder against a table. Later that night, Corey is aided by Michael in murdering Mathis and Deb. Allyson rides on Corey's motorcycle as the duo smile and later make their way to the top of the WURG building. Corey tells Allyson about his history with the radio tower, noting that it gave him hope. Allyson says that she had something like that too and stares at the scar on his hand. Corey tells her that he has to get away from everyone that knows him but he does not want to go alone. Corey moves away from her to sit on the ledge of the rooftop and Allyson tells him to come back, but he jumps off and she panics. She looks over and realizes the jump was not that far.

Relieved, she asks him if he is okay and if he is insane and trying to kill himself. After Corey jumps again, Sean Schrider comes outside upon hearing the noise, recognizing Corey. Allyson comes down and asks Corey to stop it as she notices his anger swelling up, and tells Sean the same thing when the latter continues mocking Corey. Sean reveals that he knows about the Laurie Strode story and insults Corey again, with Allyson telling the latter that Sean never shuts up and she hears his voice everywhere. Sean tells them to get off his property before he attacks them and Allyson complies, telling Corey that they should do it and that she does not want to be in Haddonfield anymore and wants to be with him, before Corey embraces her.

2022 massacre[]

After a tense encounter with Laurie, Corey calls Allyson while she is at work and tells her they need to leave. Allyson says she cannot right now since she is working and Corey tells her they could go that night, asking her if she could meet him at 9:00 at the diner off 74. Corey furthers that they need to talk about her grandmother, who he claims wants to kill him. The shocked Allyson responds "What?" and Corey adds that he cannot take it anymore and that it is time to say goodbye to Haddonfield. He reveals that Laurie met with his mother Joan. Corey then goes into the cave to confront Michael, successfully stealing his mask.

Allyson returns home later that night, putting on her jacket before realizing Laurie is going through her room. She steps in and asks her if she found what she was looking for. Laurie says she imagines she is going on a wonderful trip and Allyson turns back to her in surprise. Laurie asks if she was going to tell her and Allyson asks what difference does it make. Laurie says it makes a big difference and states her belief that Corey is capable of real harm. Allyson asks if this is what bothers her before questioning if it is suspicion or paranoia and then asks Laurie if she has an inkling as she begins packing. Laurie says she went to Corey's home and met his mother. Allyson smiles as she confirms that she knows since he told her about this and asks if Laurie is stalking him now. Laurie denies this and Allyson says she is threatening him and asks what she said to him. As Laurie begins to say that she sees the same thing in Corey that she saw in Michael, Allyson finishes her sentence and tells her that Michael Myers is who she is.

Allyson and Laurie argue — Allyson dismisses Laurie's concerns about Corey

Laurie tells Allyson that she is not listening and that she is trying to protect her. Allyson says she does not want her protection. Laurie tells Allyson that she can have a good life, but just cannot do this with Corey. Allyson puts her hands on Laurie's shoulders as she tells her that she pretends like she has moved on but it is fake, and Laurie is actually just obsessed with death like it is some sort of game. Allyson furthers that Laurie is not going to rest until she has finished it, or until everyone else is as miserable as she is. Allyson says that she needs to get out of there before the town kills the one person that actually makes her feel something, slamming the door in Laurie's face. Laurie shouts that Corey is on a dark path, furthering that she is not going to let this happen and that Allyson has to believe her. Allyson opens the door, questioning if Laurie wants her to believe her and asserts that, due to the hysteria Laurie caused when she trusted her, her friends and parents are dead. She then accuses Laurie of being the one who is capable of harm, before slamming the door again.

Allyson arrives at the bar, noticing the radio station is skipping on the same song. She goes inside, gets a drink, and waits for Corey. She looks at the door opening to see if it is Corey, but when some strangers come in instead, she looks back at her phone. Laurie calls her, but she declines to answer. Laurie realizes that Corey is in her house and fakes a suicide attempt to lead him into a trap. He falls for it, Laurie shoots him twice, and has him on his knees. As Allyson pulls up, Corey hears her car and starts smiling, repeating his earlier words, "If I can't have her", before stabbing himself in the side of the neck. Corey falls to the floor as the panicked Laurie removes the knife from his throat and Allyson comes into the house. Allyson notices the wounded Corey on the ground and asks Laurie what she did. Allyson crouches down over her lover and lets out a scream of pain before exiting the house.

The tearful Allyson gets into her car and drives off. Following her departure, Michael comes into the house and kills Corey while retrieving his mask. The crying Allyson pulls up to a railroad track and as she notices the radio tower of the WURG building burning, she recalls what she had said to Corey about metaphorically burning it all down. She gets a call from Hawkins, who asks her about Laurie and mentions they are responding to a suicide call. A concerned Allyson looks back. Meanwhile, Michael goes into the kitchen and begins an altercation with Laurie that ends with her pinning him down with knives and stabbing him in the chest. Michael grabs Laurie by the throat and the latter encourages him to kill her. Allyson arrives and removes his arm from her grandmother's throat, breaking it and telling Laurie that she is not going to let this happen to her. Michael dies from exsanguination while holding Laurie's hand, then Hawkins and other officers arrive at the house. To ensure Michael's death, Allyson and Laurie drive a car with his body tied to the top to the landfill site, attracting the citizens of Haddonfield. Allyson watches as Michael's corpse is destroyed by the industrial shredder. As Allyson and Laurie sit together, the former tells the latter that she was right about Corey and that she knows he killed those people. Laurie tells her that he was consumed by the evil Michael placed on him. A smiling Allyson leaves Haddonfield in a car with her belongings in the backseat, ready to start a new life elsewhere and be happy.

Behind the scenes[]

Director David Gordon Green would describe writing Allison into the trilogy. “When you’re writing sequels to movies like Halloween, it is very easy to find yourself doing the exact same things that worked in the original because they worked so well. We wanted a new teenage co-lead for the film, but had to be very mindful that 40 years had passed and we couldn’t write this character the same way at all. There’s more edge to her but it’s not overbearing, which I feel makes her very relatable.”

Notes and trivia[]

Allyson is 17 years old in both Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills (2021). In Halloween Ends (2022), she is 21 years old.
She is Laurie Strode's second grandchild, after Steven Lloyd in the 4-6 Timeline.
