This story takes place 40 years after the first Halloween, with Michael Myers escaping from prison as he’s being transferred by bus. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), the babysitter from the original, has been waiting for Michael to escape so she can kill him.
This sequel abandons the nine other Halloween sequels and instead comes exactly 40 years after the original of the same name.
