One of the very best parts of Halloween Kills, was getting to see flashbacks to the infamous 1978 night when Michael Myers returned to Haddonfield.

While seeing Sam Loomis was a welcome surprise, another shocker revealed during these moments was that Will Patton's Frank Hawkins was at the Myers House on that '78 evening. In a huge piece of character development, Hawkins details his guilt to Laurie - with him, as a rookie cop, having accidentally shot one of his colleagues after freezing in fear when confronted by Michael.

Similarly, guilt flows from Hawkins due to stopping Loomis from executing Myers on that same night, with the young Frank deciding that enough lives had already been taken on Halloween 1978.

There may have been moments where it looked a little touch and go for Deputy Hawkins in Halloween Kills - after all, he was stabbed in the neck and believed dead in the prior movie - but he now seems destined to play a prime role in finally taking Michael down when Halloween Ends hits cinemas next October.
