Halloween Ends kicks off a year after the previous movie, revealing that Michael Myers remains at large. We're then introduced to Corey, a babysitter who inadvertently kills the young boy he's meant to be looking after. As the story progresses, we see the bullied and reviled young man head down increasingly darker paths, until circumstances see him encounter Michael in a tunnel.
They appear to form some sort of psychic connection, and Corey proceeds to murder all those who have wronged him. As he does, Michael is strengthened, but Corey eventually steals his mask and takes aim at Laurie.
She manages to deal with her granddaughter's deranged boyfriend, and it's then the real Michael - who regains his iconic mask - returns to seek his final revenge. The two fight, but Laurie eventually gains the upper hand, pinning her foe to the kitchen table by stabbing him in each hand before using the fridge to trap his legs.
Laurie cuts into him and even slashes his throat, but the killer frees his hand and prepares to snap her neck with his dying breath. Luckily, her granddaughter Allyson arrives, and helps Laurie finish Michael off, cutting his wrists and leaving him to bleed out.
From there, the police allow Laurie to strap Michael's dead body to the top of their car and place his remains in a nearby scrapyard's massive crusher/shredder where he is quite literally turned to pulp as the townspeople watch on.
The Michael Myers curse is over, and there's no way he's coming back from that. However, Laurie still has his mask, so who's to say another killer won't one day wear it?
Honestly, we hope not because the movie is bad. A seemingly endless slog up until the last 15 minutes or so, it doesn't improve on Halloween Kills and is a disappointing end to a trilogy that started off strong.
