Meanwhile, the family that adopted Laurie Strode is living in the Myers house and is being stalked by Myers. It's the curse of Thorn that Michael is possessed by that makes him kill his family.

Trivia

Daniel Farrands' original script was far more moody and psychological than the final draft. After reading the script, one of the execs at Dimension films could not sleep that night and therefore called Farrands immediately and told him that they wanted go forward with it. Donald Pleasence himself supported the original script and immediately signed on to make the film only to find out that the script was being rewritten.
