10 Movie Heroes Who Fell For The Same S**t In The Sequel

10. Laurie Thinks Michael Myers Cares About Her - Halloween Kills

Basically since its inception, the Halloween franchise has been fixated on the dynamic between masked murderer Michael Myers and beleaguered babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), with the original Halloween II controversially revealing Laurie to be Michael's younger sister.

But the 2018 Halloween, serving as a direct, continuity-rejigging sequel to the 1978 original, throws out the familial link and instead hinges around the radical, brilliant idea that Michael actually doesn't care about Laurie at all.

Laurie herself is depicted as a traumatised survivalist who has been waiting 40 years to have a final showdown with Michael, whereas to Michael she's basically nothing.

In fact, Laurie and Michael only end up facing off in Halloween 2018 because of a convoluted subplot where Dr. Sartain (Haluk Bilginer) effectively shoves Michael towards her.

The recently released sequel, Halloween Kills, sees Laurie basically make the same mistake. While she spends the bulk of the film lying in a hospital bed, once she learns that Michael is still alive, she again believes that he's on his way to the hospital to battle her.

As Laurie learns once more in the chilling ending, though, Michael didn't give her a second thought and just wanted to go home.

If Michael could ever say anything to Laurie, he'd probably quote Don Draper and tell her, "I don't think about you at all."
