Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween Night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.
This movie contains 45 potentially triggering events.
There are 2..roughly towards the middle of the movie
1 is when Dr Loomis and the sheriff go to Michael s abandoned house. You dont see it you just hear them say its a dog and talk about the details so cover your ears if you dont want to hear...
The other is right after Annie get undressed in the kitchen the dog goes outside barking at Michael. He kills the dog then. You only see the lower limbs go limp.
A pet dog is strangled by Myers while barking at him, since the dog would likely draw attention to him if he continued. Only a little bit of the dog's body is seen, and Myers sets him down immediately after. No graphic noises, the dog's barking just abruptly stops.
One of the teenage boys does make a weird off-color joke about removing a 10-year-old girl’s clothes. The girl isn’t present and doesn’t hear the joke and it’s obviously not in earnest. But still.
A character describes tearing off another character’s clothes (who is a young child). This is likely a script error rather than an actual paedophilic threat.
A teenage male character makes a joke about “ripping the clothes off” a young unsuspecting girl, the other teenage laughs and agrees, but it does not happen.
Laurie falls over the balcony onto the ground floor. She is shown walking with a limp and clutching her leg but it is not known if her leg was broken or just sprained.
Kinda? Near the ending of the film, Laurie Strode gets slashed on her arm and out of shock as she didn’t know Michael Myers was behind her, she screams and jumps back over a ralling on the top of the stairs and falls down basically to the bottom of the stairs and walks with a injured leg and arm for the rest of the film. Though she doesn’t go down them like a tumble roll down or something, she still goes down.
The psychiatrist Loomis' behaviour towards Michael Myers could be considered ableist. He calls Michael "it", and tells someone that he had cold, "evil" eyes as a child. Both are dehumanizing and uncomfortable for a professional (who had been treating Michael since he was a six year old boy) to say about a patient.
In one scene, Loomis refers to Michael as "it," and the nurse remarks that he should use "him." In another scene, Loomis says Michael isn't a man. These are meant to be more dehumanizing than misgendering, but could still make someone uncomfortable.
No, but it is worth noting that Michael is portrayed as being almost supernatural--seemingly teleporting at times, and surving wounds that should kill him.
I definitely wouldn't call this incest but still might be triggering for some.
SPOILER: Michael spies on his sister (non sexually) and then walks into her room and kills her. She's topless because she just had sex with her boyfriend and we see her breasts.
