Plot[]

Lisa Thomas has a flashback to when she was a young girl, in which she was dressed as a ballerina for Halloween. She was getting chased by a group of boys in clown costumes. She remembers this as fun times, but now sees the world as a place where there are no happy endings and that all the little children die someday.

Lisa and Ryan Nichols enter the Cole home and find the corpses of Daniel and his parents. Ryan realizes that his wife was right in worrying about her family. Lisa tries to run away from the scene, but Ryan stops her and tells her that she has to go with him to find his wife. Lisa reveals that her friend Sean was chasing after the man who was responsible for the murders, Michael Myers. Ryan demands to know where she had seen this man, and she replies that it was in the house near the lost river. Ryan makes Lisa get in his car, and she tries to cry out for help. Ryan tells her that he is not going to hurt her, but she is his only way of getting to Michael as Lisa is his target.

At the Russellville Infirmary, Abby is relating to the police what had happened to her and Ben at the Bowles house. One of the deputies tells Sheriff Cooper that they just got a call that they found the vehicle near the Bowles home, and it matches the one belonging to Ryan. Sheriff Cooper says that they are going to head that way with every single unit they have. When the deputy asks Cooper what to do if it is Michael Myers, Cooper says that he prays that they make it home, because they would be safer hunting the devil himself.

Meanwhile, Ryan has to stop the car as it cannot go any further. He asks Lisa to show him the rest of the way on foot. He gets her out of the car and promises that he will not let Michael hurt her, and it would be all over soon. He begins to feel guilty for how he is treating the terrified girl, but knows that he has to focus on saving Marcie. They soon come across a trail of candy wrappers, the same ones that Marcie had. It leads them to the Bowles house, and Lisa begs not to be taken inside, but Ryan once again assures her safety and brings out a knife. They walk inside the house, where they find more of Michael's masks and then Marcie's corpse, set up like a jack-o'-lantern.

As Ryan starts to mourn his wife, Lisa sees that Michael is right above them. After he drops down, Ryan tries to attack him, but Michael stops and cuts Ryan across the face. Lisa tries to help out by hitting Michael with a plank, but it does nothing to him, and he snatches it out of her hand. Lisa then runs away. Michael follows her and then locks her into a room. Ryan looks at his dead wife and turns around to see Michael with another of his masks in his hand. Ryan is then hit on the head with the plank. Michael gets out his knife and cuts off Ryan's tongue. He then places the second mask on Ryan.

In the locked room, Lisa tries to find a way out, but her only choice to hide is in the very same basement she was locked in.

Ryan awakens in a confused state and walks out of the house, only to find the Russellville police waiting for him. believing it is Michael, all of them shoot at him. One of the bullets hits him in the cheek, kiling him.

Back in the basement, Lisa is waiting for someone to save her, unaware that Michael has somehow gotten inside the room. He knocks her unconscious and, the next day, Lisa awakens to find herself nude, cold and in a very dark small space. She screams out for help, but no one can save her as Michael had buried Lisa alive under a wooden cross with the name "Judith Myers".

Michael goes to Lisa's home and goes into her bedroom, where he finds a ballerina music box and closes it. Right above the music box is a drawing of a clown standing over a dead girl in a coffin.
