Ever wondered what truly
happened to Laurie Strode shortly after “Halloween
II”? Well writer Stefan Hutchinson dares to dabble
in the first ever death of Laurie Strode, the
titular character who came face to face with the
shape twice and survived to tell about it. But what
happened once she left the hospital? Well, more than
anything either of us could fathom, as Hutchinson
tells it. Continuing the thesis that Michael’s
infatuation with Laurie was more than that of a
brother and sister a la Judith Meyers and his
continued sexual ambiguity that’s manifested through
his continued torture of women and his punishment of
the men that lust after the women.
Michael continues to be
the embodiment of sexual confusion who casts his
long dark shadow over everyone’s lives. “The First
Death of Laurie Strode” deals with the aftermath of
both confrontations and how Laurie was incapable of
ever living a normal life in Haddonfield with
Michael walking around and looming in her life. Not
only that, but Hutchinson reaches further down in to
the deep mythos of the films by daring to look at
the deaths of Laurie’s original parents and how
Michael may have had a hand in it.
