The Halloween the franchise has broken down into many timelines since its inception in 1978. One of those timelines was the H2O timeline, which apparently ended with the release of Halloween: Resurrection in 2002. In this film, Michael Myers returns to his childhood home to hunt down a group of college students who have agreed to spend Halloween night in the house for a show hosted by Freddie Harris of Busta Rhymes. Michael kills his victims one by one, leading to a confrontation in which Harris unleashes his martial arts skills to defeat Michael and trap him in the burning house.

It is a sort of enema of the world that we have established here. And then new faces and voices that take center stage, next door.
