Halloween (2018) quotes

Aaron Korey

Okay. Well. Having witnessed the animal in it's captive state and failed to provoke any sort of response, we now track down it's counterpart. Could it be that one monster has created another? And, although, iron bars and barbed wire that separate them are strong and sharp, the metaphysical lines are blurred and slight. Both exist in isolation, fettered by their own fear and hatred of one another. Could it be that the only hope of rehabilitation is through confrontation?

Dana Haines

"Access has been denied. Private Property. No Trespassing". You might need this. [She hands Aaron an envelope]

Aaron Korey

Dana, journalists don't pay for their interviews.

Dana Haines

Smile. We're on camera.

Laurie Strode

Yes.

Aaron Korey

Yes. Um... we're looking for Laurie Strode. [No response from Laurie] Aaron Korey: We're, uh, um... we're... we're... making a podcast and...

Dana Haines

We're investigative journalists.

Aaron Korey

If you have a moment. We traveled a very long way. [Still no response]

Dana Haines

How does $3000 sound? [Laurie unlocks the gates and allows Aaron and Dana on through. then after ringing the doorbell and Laurie unlocks the front door] Hello.

Aaron Korey

May we come in and sit down and talk?

Dana Haines

So, Aaron and I have made several award-winning public radio exposés. Our last project shed new light on a murder case from 20 years ago. We like to re-examine incidents with an unbiased lens. I believe there's a lot to learn from the horrors you experienced.

Laurie Strode

There's nothing to learn. There are no new incites or... discoveries.

Aaron Korey

So, is he real?

Laurie Strode

Who?

Aaron Korey

The boogeyman. I read you quoted...

Laurie Strode

You don't believe in the boogeyman?

Aaron Korey

I believe in Michael Myers, deranged serial killer. But... the boogeyman, no.

Laurie Strode

Well, you should.

Aaron Korey

Okay.

Dana Haines

Michael Myers is a human being who killed his sister when he was six years old. Then he came after you. We just want to know why. We want a glimpse inside his mind. That's why your story's so important.

Laurie Strode

My story?

Aaron Korey

Two failed marriages. Rocky relationship with your daughter and granddaughter.

Laurie Strode

Michael Myers killed five people... and he's a human being we need to understand? I'm twice divorced... and I'm a "basket case".

Aaron Korey

They're transferring him.

Laurie Strode

Tomorrow, 7:30.

Dana Haines

He'll be locked away until the end of days.

Laurie Strode

That's the idea.

Dana Haines

Let's talk about when the state came to take away your daughter away. She was 12 years old. They said you were an unfit mother. How long until you regained custody?

Laurie Strode

I didn't. But you already knew that.

Aaron Korey

Laurie, we saw him. We met with Michael. I showed him the mask. There was nothing. No response. Nothing. He won't talk to anyone. Never has, but... I think he might speak with you. So, why don't you sit down with him and say all the things you must be longing to say. Come with us, and let us help you free yourself. Please.

Laurie Strode

Time's up. I'll accept my payment. Get out.

Everyone in my family, like, turns into a nutcase this time of year.

Vicky

If I were you guys, I wouldn't celebrate either. I would just put up a Christmas tree instead. Skip over all the creepy Halloween shit, right? Does your grandma ever talk about it?

Yeah, it's pretty much all she talks about. It defines her life. She's been traumatized ever since.

Dave

Wasn't it her brother who, like, cold-blooded murdilated all those teenagers?

No. That's just a bit that some people made up to make them feel better, I think.

Vicky

I mean, that is scary to have a bunch of your friends get butchered by some random crazy person.

Dave

Is it, though? Because, all things considered, there's a lot worse stuff that's happening today. And like, I mean, what, a couple people getting killed by one guy with a knife is not that big of a deal.

Vicky

Dude, her grandmother was almost **** murdered.

Dave

And she escaped, and they caught him, and now he's incarcerated. I-I'm just saying, like, by today's standards...

Vicky

Just shut the **** up, Dave. Shut up.

I can't accept this.

Laurie Strode

Use it for whatever your heart desires.

I'll save it for college, then.

Laurie Strode

**** college. Go somewhere. Go to Mexico.

Could you imagine?

Laurie Strode

Yeah, I can. Look, don't worry about your mom. She will freak. But she'll get over it.

Why can't you? The Boogeyman? All this hiding, all this preparation, it was for nothing. It took priority over your family. It cost you your family.

Laurie Strode

The way I raised your mother means that she hates me... but that's she prepared for the horror's of this world, then I can live with that.

Say good-bye to Michael, and get over it.

Laurie Strode

Good-bye.

Dave

I went and got this tattoo. Because tonight is tonight, the one we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

Vicky

You are so getting dry-**** tonight.

Dave

Oh, yeah?

Vicky

****in' come here. [Kisses Dave]

Dr. Sartain

Did you know our friend Hawkins here was the first responding deputy when Michael was apprehended in the 1978? He stopped Loomis from killing Michael that night.

Laurie Strode

Do you know that I pray every night that he would escape?

Officer Hawkins

What the hell do you do that for?

Laurie Strode

So I can kill him.

Officer Hawkins

Well, that was a dumb thing to pray for.

Julian

I hear you telling your friends to come over here and you're gonna smoke some weed.

Vicky

No, no.

Julian

That alakazam?

Vicky

Julian, I'm talking about like, a... you know, like a magic trick. Abracadabra!

Julian

I know you're talking about smoking weed. Don't lie to me. That's against the rules, I'm telling my mom.

Vicky

Well, I'm gonna tell your mom about your browser history.

Julian

You better not.

Julian

I saw someone in the hallway, standing outside my door.

Dave

What's up, buddy?

Julian

There was a ****-up face, watching me from the dark.

Dave

Ghosts and goblins, little buddy?

Julian

Shut up, Dave! I heard him breathing, and then I saw him. He's in here. Boogeyman's in this house.

Vicky

Okay. All right. Come on, I got you. Let's check it out.

Julian

Send Dave first.

Laurie Strode

I need to protect my family. You have no security system, Karen.

Mom, you need help!

Laurie Strode

Evil is real.

Laurie Strode

The bus crashed.

Officer Hawkins

Michael Myers escaped.

Aaron Korey

He returned to Haddonfield. His home.

Laurie Strode

You don't believe in the Boogeyman?

Aaron Korey

I believe in Michael Myers, a deranged serial killer, but the Boogeyman? No.

Laurie Strode

Well, you should.

Laurie Strode

Happy Halloween, Michael.

Dr. Sartain

He can speak. He just chooses not to.

Laurie Strode

He is a killer. But he will be killed tonight.

Laurie Strode

He's waited for this night... he's waited for me... I've waited for him...

Laurie Strode

I always knew he'd come back. In this town, Michael Myers is a myth. He's the Boogeyman. A ghost story to scare kids. But this Boogeyman is real. An evil like his never stops, it just grows older. Darker. More determined. Forty years ago, he came to my home to kill. He killed my friends, and now he's back to finish what he started, with me. The one person who's ready to stop him.
