As an adult, he spends most of this movie talking real tough and giving a lot of rallying speeches. Tommy was a boy Laurie was babysitting in 1978 (played by a different actor in the original movie). Tommy’s story is interesting, but for a franchise built on female survivors to spend the bulk of its time on a dude seems wrong. Tommy is the only character with a complete arc.

When the inevitable happens and she has to face the news that she didn’t finish the job, there would be potential for great drama, which Curtis would be more than capable of playing. At first, she thinks she’s succeeded in killing Michael Myers. There are some real missed opportunities in her storyline, too. For the third time in the franchise, Laurie Strode waits in a hospital. With all that going on, Halloween Kills unfortunately sidelines the most important characters. When Michael escapes the fire, Tommy leads a mob to kill him while Laurie, Allyson and Karen suspect he’s coming to the hospital to finish the job. Only then does Halloween Kills pick up with Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) driving away from the firetrap they set for Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) at the end of the previous movie.
