Instead, the fourth film introduced Laurie's daughter. Jamie Lloyd is named after Curtis. As the daughter of Laurie, she is also the niece of infamous serial killer Michael Myers.

Early life

Jamie Lloyd was born in Haddonfield, Illinois. Her biological mother is Laura "Laurie" Strode (born Myers), and her father is Jimmy Lloyd.

It is vaguely implied (in H4) that in late November 1987, both of Jamie's parents died in an automobile accident. 1987 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

For the next 11 months, Jamie would suffer from nightmares about her uncle Michael, whom she had never met, but about whom she had heard. She gradually comes to love her surrogate family - her foster parents Richard and Darlene Carruthers, and especially their daughter Rachel, her 17-year-old foster sister.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers

Jamie suffers from nightmares about her feared uncle, Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur). She is also tormented by schoolmates because she is related to Haddonfield's notorious "boogeyman". On October 30, 1988, Michael is being transferred out of Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium back to Smith's Grove. While in the transfer ambulance, he recovers from his ten-year coma upon learning the existence of his niece. Accordingly, he kills the two medical attendants and the two drivers. While making his way back to his hometown, he also kills a mechanic and a waitress. In Haddonfield, while on the trail for Jamie, he kills 12 more people and the Carruthers' family dog, Sundae.

Escaping from town, Jamie cowers in a pick-up truck as Rachel hits Michael head on, throwing him off the road and knocking him out. Jamie goes over to him and holds his hand. After ordering her to get away from her uncle and drop to the ground, the police shoot Michael many times, causing him to fall into an abandoned mine shaft, which then collapses on top of him. Later, back in her foster home, Jamie is possessed by Michael's spirit and stabs her foster mother, though not fatally. When screams are heard from upstairs, Dr. Loomis walks over to the staircase seeing Jamie poised at the top holding a pair of bloody scissors. Sheriff Ben Meeker (Beau Starr) restrains Loomis from shooting her. Jamie is now apparently consumed by Michael's rage.

Donald Pleasance reportedly favored taking the series in a new direction by having Jamie become the Shape in the next sequel, but the producers opted to stick with a proven formula. Donald Pleasence (October 5, 1919 - February 2, 1995) was a British actor. ...

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

One year later, Jamie is housed in the Haddonfield Children's Clinic. She has now been rendered mute and suffers from nightmares and seizures. Early in the film, a brick, bearing a note reading, "The evil child must die," is thrown through her window. When Michael (Donald L. Shanks) awakens from a year-long repose, she develops a telepathic bond with him. Sensing when he is near someone, Jamie goes into convulsions when he kills. Michael kills Rachel (which places the title of Jamie's protector into Tina's hands), four of Rachel's friends (including Tina), two dimwitted cops, and the Carruthers' new dog, a Doberman named Max, while in pursuit of Jamie. Towards the end, Loomis takes Jamie to Michael's childhood home. Despite the doctor's pleas to Michael to fight his rage and seek redemption through a positive relationship with Jamie, Myers tracks down his niece in the house. By addressing him as "Uncle," she gets him to pause and remove his mask. Upon seeing his face, she says "You're just like me." However, when she moves to wipe away his tear, he puts his mask back on, and tries to attack her. Look up mute in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Telepathy, from the Greek τῆλε, tele, remote; and πάθεια, patheia, to be effected by, describes the hypothetical transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the five classical senses. ...

Using Jamie as bait, Loomis catches Michael in a net, shoots him with tranquilizer darts, and beats him into unconsciousness with a wooden beam. Michael is manacled and locked up in the local jail, awaiting transport to a maximum-security facility, where, Meeker says, he will remain "until the day he dies," to which Jamie responds, "He'll never die." After Jamie is escorted out to be taken home, the mysterious "Man in Black", glimpsed briefly earlier in the film, arrives at the police station and begins firing a machine gun. Jamie goes back inside to find that twelve police officials have been gunned down and that her uncle has escaped. The movie ends with Jamie saying 'No...No..."

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

It is apparent that the Man in Black had kidnapped Jamie immediately after the shoot-out and has kept her in captivity, along with her uncle Michael (George P. Wilbur), for the past six years. He is revealed to be Loomis' former medical colleague Dr. Terence Wynn (Mitchell Ryan). He is also the leader of a Druid cult headquartered in the subterranean levels of the Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Jamie, now age 15, gives birth to a boy on the night of October 30, 1995. The father is unknown, but it is implied in the producer's cut of the film to be Michael, presumably via artificial insemination; however, in a released first draft of the script,^[1] a flashback scene depicts Jamie being raped by Wynn, thus suggesting that he is in fact the father. Loomis and Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd), whom Laurie was babysitting on Halloween 1978, attempt to rescue Jamie after hearing her plea for help on a local radio station. In the meantime, she hides her baby, whom Tommy finds and names him Stephen. However, in the theatrical version, Jamie dies relatively early in the film when Michael impales her on a corn thresher. In the producer's cut, she survives most of the film only to be shot in the head by a gun fitted with a silencer by a disguised Dr. Wynn. Dr. Terence Wynn a. ...

Continuity

In a controversial decision, director Steve Miner retconned the series with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). This installment reveals that Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) had faked her own death in order to avoid detection by her relentless brother. Under a new identity, she then fled to Summer Glen, California, along with her only son, John Tate (Josh Hartnett). To focus more on the Laurie Strode character, the events of parts 3–6 are never mentioned; therefore, Jamie Lloyd does not exist. The following sequel, Halloween: Resurrection (2002), continues with this new continuity. Stephen C. Miner (born June 18, 1951) is an American film and television director. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Joshua Daniel Hartnett (born July 21, 1978) is an American actor. ... In fiction, continuity is consistency of the characteristics of persons, objects, places and events seen by the reader or viewer. ...

When screenwriter Kevin Williamson first outlined Halloween H20, he created the storyline in which Laurie Strode has faked her own death and taken on a new identity as a specific way of retconning the character's death in Halloween 4. In Williamson's original treatment, there are scenes (that were possibly filmed) in which a Hillcrest student does a report on Michael Myers' killing spree, mentioning the death of Jamie, complete with flashbacks to 4-6 mentioned in the text. "Keri"/Laurie responds to hearing the student's report on the death of her daughter by going into a restroom and throwing up.^{[citation needed]} Kevin Williamson at the Century City premiere of Columbias Vertical Limit. ...

Casting

Jamie Lloyd was Danielle Harris' first role, for which she appears at horror conventions and on Halloween series-related websites. Harris sought to reprise the role for the sixth installment, now titled Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, but the producers and Dimension Films reportedly refused to pay her the mere $5,000 she requested, and she wasn't fond of the script. The role was instead given to English actress J.C. Brandy, who was a Halloween fan herself.^[2] Harris made her eventual return to the series as Annie Brackett in Rob Zombie's Halloween prequel/remake.

Notes

In the films, the uncertainty of Jamie’s age stems from a discrepancy between Halloween 4 and Halloween 5. In the former film, set in late October 1988, Jamie's foster sister, Rachel Carruthers (Ellie Cornell) wonders why Jamie continues staying up so late. She asks, "You going for a record here? The Seven-Year-Old Insomniacs' Hall of Fame?" The latter film is set one year later in late October 1989. Rachel and Jamie’s adolescent friend Tina Williams (Wendy Kaplan) exclaims to Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) that "Jamie’s a nine-year-old girl!" 1988 is a leap year starting on a Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the novelization of the fourth film, Halloween IV (1988; revised edition, 2003) by Nicholas Grabowsky, Jamie is six years old, which implicitly dates her birth to 1982. According to H4, Laurie and Jimmy legally died 11 months earlier in November 1987 and Richard and Darlene Carruthers are Jamie’s foster parents. In H5, it is apparent that Jamie had been adopted assuming the name "Jamie Carruthers". 1987 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
