laurie strode (jamie lee curtis) first appears in the 1978 film "halloween" and is a high school student that michael stalks after she drops off a key at his former house, so her father can sell it. this character returns in "halloween ii", "halloween: h20", "halloween resurrection" and 2018's "halloween". michael succeeds in murdering laurie in "halloween resurrection". "halloween ii" and its later installments would portray laurie as michael myers' and judith myers' younger sister. in "halloween ii", laurie says she does know that she was adopted and has a few dreams that offer vague insights into her real identity. the first dream she has is of when she was a little girl, with her adoptive mother saying with a tone of annoyance "i'm not your real mother! stop asking me questions!" the second dream shows her walking into a large room where a pre-teen michael is seen sitting in a chair and turning to look at her. when she does find out that she is being stalked by michael myers, she asks "why me?!" it is revealed in "halloween: h20" that she had learned of her relation to the myers family sometime after the sequel, as she tells her boyfriend that she is the younger sister of michael myers and judith myers, which led her to change her name to keri tate so that her brother couldn't find her. she is the mother of jamie lloyd and john tate, the latter one only in h20 and resurrection. she is the grandmother of stephen lloyd from "". 2018's "halloween" disregards her as the sister of michael myers, and establishes her as the mother of karen strode and grandmother of allyson nelson.
