The precise details of the plot are still unknown. But the teaser for the film gives us enough hints on what we can expect to see in the film. In the teaser for the film we see the Strode ladies, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), and her daughter Karen Nelson (Judy Greer), and Karen's daughter, Allyson Nelson (Andi Matichak) coming face to face with Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) once again. In the background, we hear Curtis's voice narrating, "Next Halloween, when the sun sets and someone is alone, he kills," while we see clips of new murders.
