Halloween Movies: H20 Timeline
H20 is a late 90s revival of the Halloween franchise that ignores everything after the 1981 sequel, bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode for a more grounded and emotionally focused take on her survival story.
This timeline strips away the supernatural Thorn mythology and family curse elements, returning to the simpler premise of Michael Myers as an unstoppable but human killer. This cleaner narrative explores Laurie's decades of trauma and paranoia, offering a more mature examination of how surviving such horror affects someone's entire life.
