| JOHN CARPENTER'S HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN TIMELINE |
| May 3, 1926 Peter Thomas Myers is born son of Henry and Eve Myers. November 9, 1926 Margaret Hill is born, daughter of Jacob and Loretta Hill. June 4, 1946 Peter and Margaret get married. November 15, 1946 Judith Margaret Myers is born. October 30, 1957 Michael Audrey Myers is born. September 20, 1961 Laurie Myers is born. October 31- Halloween, 1963 While Peter and Margaret go to a movie, Judith and her boyfriend Gary go out on a date. Michael and Laurie are put under the care of Janice Blankenship, a neighbor. When Judith and Gary returned home, Michael left Janice's house, went across the street and peeked inside his living room window. He saw his sister and her boyfriend make out. After Gary left, Michael grabbed a large kitchen knife and a disguarded clown mask. He put on the mask and walked upstairs to Judith�s room where she was brushing her hair. He then proceeded to stab her multiple times until she fell to the floor dead. He turned and ran out of the house to go after Laurie. Just as he exited the front door, Peter and Margaret returned home and stopped him. He immediately went into a catatonic state. He didn't talk or move. November 4, 1963 Michael is committed to Smith's Grove/Warren County Sanitarium. There, he is put under the care of Dr. Samuel Loomis. Loomis was greatly disturbed by Michael�s appearance, quoting that Michael had a �pale, blank emotionless face and the blackest eyes�the devil�s eyes.� He tries for years to reach Michael but to no avail. July 23, 1965 Peter and Margaret are summoned to Smith's Grove/Warren County Sanitarium to sign several papers regarding Michael. They bring Laurie, and tell her to wait in the waiting room while they speak with Dr. Terrence Wynn, hospital administrator. Laurie gets bored and accidentally walks into Michael's room. She sees him sitting in a chair staring out a window. She says hello. Michael sharply turns his head. He stares at Laurie for several seconds then turns back, blankly staring at the window again. Peter busts in the room and grabs Laurie. Both parents are now worried because Michael saw Laurie and, in the anguish, get in a car accident on their way back to Haddonfield. Laurie survives the wreck, but Peter and Margaret both died on impact. July 24, 1965 Laurie is taken into Russelville Orphanage. August 3, 1965 Dennis and Pamela Strode adopt Laurie. The Strodes decide that it would be best to raise Laurie as their own daughter and changes Laurie's last name from Myers to Strode. August 14, 1965 The Strodes request to the court that all known records of Laurie's true identity be sealed in order to protect Laurie. Judge Walter Loyye grants it. March 3, 1971 Dr. Loomis gives up on trying to help Michael, claiming that he is �purely and simply, EVIL.� He decides that Michael must be kept locked up forever. May 1, 1971 Dr. Loomis meets with the hospital board to try and convince them to transfer Michael to a maximum-security facility. He further noted that the catatonia was a conscious act on Michael's part and the hospital staff wasn't properly prepared. The hospital turned down Loomis� request, as they thought it would damage the hospital�s reputation. October 30, 1978 Dr. Loomis and Marion Chambers go to Smith's Grove/Warren County Sanitarium to take Michael to Harden County so he could be reviewed by a judge and prosecuted for the murder of Judith. Michael knew Dr. Loomis was coming and he snapped out of his catatonia. He began thrashing around in his room, tearing it to shreds. He then scrawled 'SISTER' on the door and promptly broke out. He freed all other patients as well, to create massive chaos. When Dr. Loomis and Marion saw all the patients wandering around, they stopped the car so Dr. Loomis could go to a phone. Michael attacked Marion and stole the station wagon. Dr. Loomis knew that Michael was headed for Haddonfield.On his way, Michael killed a truck driver and stole his clothes. October 31- Halloween, 1978 Michael returns to Haddonfield. While Laurie is babysitting 7 year old Tommy Doyle, Michael goes on his first killing spree, killing 3 of Laurie�s friends before going after Laurie herself. He managed to stab her in the left shoulder, but before he could kill her, Dr. Loomis intervened and shot him 6 times as he flew out a window. He survived and followed Laurie to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. There he killed 9 more people. Dr. Loomis managed to lure him into the hospital operating room and blew the room up using broken gas valves and a lighter. Laurie and an orderly named Jimmy Lloyd managed to escape. Both Michael and Dr. Loomis somehow manage to survive the explosion. November 4, 1978 Michael, in a coma, is transferred from the Russelville hospital to the Ridgemont Federal Hospital. August 1979 Laurie and Jimmy are engaged to be married. However, things aren't going very well for them. Laurie is in constant fear that her brother will return to kill her. However, Laurie does become pregnant. April 24, 1980 Jamie Lloyd is born. July 8, 1980 Laurie and Jimmy fight more and more. Laurie�s mental problems and her alcoholism eventually become too much for Jimmy to handle, and he leaves and takes Jamie with him. September 4, 1980 Laurie decides she needs to start anew. She turns to Dr. Sam Loomis for help, and together they begin a witness protection plan for Laurie. November 16, 1980 Laurie fakes her death, which appeared to be a car accident. Very few people knew of the plan, and Jimmy was not one of the select few. One of Laurie's last wishes to Dr. Loomis was to watch over her daughter, Jamie. November 24, 1980 Laurie has her name changed to Keri Tate and moves to Summer Glen, California. She meets a doctor named Jared and they fall in love.Laurie falls pregnant again. August 29, 1981 John Tate is born. Laurie decides never to tell John about his sister, out of pain. May 4, 1984 Laurie graduates from college and is offered a teaching position at a private school. September 2, 1984 Jimmy marries Clara White. Jimmy and Clara both decide that, out of respect, Jamie would not be allowed to forget her mother, and pictures are given to her (from when Laurie was a teenager herself). November 25, 1987 Jimmy and Clara die in a car accident involving a drunk driver. Jamie ends up being adopted by the Corruthers Family (who were good friends of both Laurie and Jimmy). October 30, 1988 After 10 years of confinement at the Ridgemont Federal Hospital, Michael Myers is to be returned back to Smith's Grove/Warren Country Sanitarium. Michael, however, learns of Jamie Lloyd's existence and escapes, killing 4 people.Dr. Loomis learns of Michael�s escape and immediately rushes to Haddonfield to warn the authorities and protect Jamie. October 31- Halloween, 1988 Michael returns to Haddonfield again, and goes on his second killing spree attempting to kill Jamie. He infiltrates the house where the police have set up protection for Jamie and her foster sister, Rachel Corruthers. After killing 11 people, Michael was shot down a mineshaft, where he was able to escape an explosion. Michael collapsed from pure exhaustion outside a hermit's house, and the kind man decided to help Michael. Jamie, however, developed a telepathic link with her uncle, and tried to kill her foster-mother, Darlene Corruthers. November 10, 1988 Jamie is admitted into the Haddonfield Children's Clinic, where she begins therapy. Dr. Loomis himself transfers to the hospital, and takes up Jamie's case personally. Jamie is forced to learn sign language, as the telepathic bond with Michael somehow caused her to lose her voice. February 3, 1989 Laurie and Jared split up. Jared could not take Laurie's mental problems and Laurie could not live with Jared�s drug addiction. |
