How is Lori Strode related to Michael Myers?

This was never addressed in the Halloween movies.

Especially since he came after her.

The movie never explained why.

Supposedly she was his younger sister. That got retconned into one of the later films, H2 I believe.

I watched Halloween H2O R1, but they never said how she and Michael are related.

It's added in Halloween 2, and is mentioned in every film in the 2-6 continuity.

It's also present in the H20-Resurrection continuity as they both follow Halloween 2.

She's a random stranger in the Halloween 2018-Halloween Kills continuity, which directly follows the first film.

I marvel how after all those years in prison or the nuthouse (whatever), Michael's knees & back are still in working order. Unlike other seniors, he still wants to terrorize rather than sitting around watching Fox News like other people his age

Michael would still be in his late 60's, R4.

Plus he has power from the dark side.

I think they are siblings

How the fuck do you people not know this?

Of course we know it.

But the ORIGINAL Halloween movie itself never establishes their relationship.

Not even once.

Michael would've been a MAGA shithead insurrectionist R4, on the steps of the capital beating police officers to death. Then Trump would've pardoned him.

She's his daughter.

R10, if sheโ€™s his sister daughter than that would explain why he wants to kill her so badly.

In the new trilogy of movies, they say she isn't and that the only reason he was at her house trying to kill her is because the psycho, Dr. Sartain, drove her there.

op the twist that they're siblings was from Halloween 2 (1981)

by Anonymousreply 13October 18, 2021 7:26 PM

It was a stupid twist, she didn't even look like his sister. It's creepier that she's just a random girl he chooses.

In the original is it her going to drop of a key at his old house that sets Laurie in his sights?

Yes that's most likely why he started following Laurie and Tommy around, R14.

R14, at the point at which it was revealed (during ๐‡๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐ˆ๐ˆ 1981), we hadn't seen enough of Michael to know whether or not he resembled Laurie Strode. There was only the faintest partial glimpse of his face just before Dr Loomis shot him six times.

Maybe they were husband and wife?

I think he would've beaten everyone to death, but refused to wear MAGA gear because even though he's Michael Myers, he does have some standards. Evangelicals would love him & constantly pester him to speak to youth groups, which he can't stand. Fox News would make fun of Laurie for looking like such a crazy old bat while Michael is as fit as a pro athlete

R16 sorry I meant she didn't look like the sister he killed in the original. The one who made her bf cum in 10 seconds...

by Anonymousreply 19October 19, 2021 5:03 PM

No spoilers, but check out Prom Night....might answer some questions. I thought it was good, at that time, and stared Jaime Lee Curtis.

by Anonymousreply 20October 19, 2021 5:10 PM

The only thing making Laurie Michael's sister does is get Dr Loomis to the hospital.

by Anonymousreply 21October 19, 2021 5:15 PM

And her boyfriend on Prom Night, died of AIDS in the mid 80's....one of the first ones to get that horrible disease.
