Curtis finally returned for the 20th anniversary of the original film, which picks up the story 20 years after the events of Halloween II and reveals that Laurie didn't die but instead had faked her death to go into hiding from Michael. Also, rather than having a daughter, Laurie instead has a son, John (played by Josh Hartnett), basically doing away with chapters four to six of the series.
In the movie, Laurie serves as principal at her son's school and must contend with Michael once again when he shows up and picks off her son's friends one by one. Michelle Williams, LL Cool J, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt also appear in the film, making for an ultimate '90s flick. Though Laurie supposedly kills Michael in the end, you should know better by now than to think she actually succeeds.
