Halloween Part 3 | 1st Death of Laurie Strode in Comics!

Yo, what's up! Welcome back to the Haunted Basement Studio. I'm your host, Triple B, and in this hardcore comic book review, we're diving into Halloween: The First Death of Laurie Strode. Written by Stephen Hutchinson with art by Jeff Zornow, this series was released in 2008, and Zornow, who also worked on the Sweetie: Candy Vigilante books, absolutely kills it on the art. Now, this comic is pretty infamous because it was meant to be a three-part series, but only two issues were ever released. There was supposed to be a continuation called The Mark of Thorn, but that never happened due to some behind-the-scenes drama with Devil's Due Publishing. The creators never saw a dime from these issues, despite the comics making money, which is why we never got the third issue. However, we did get Halloween: Nightdance, a four-part series that followed. In this review, I’m going to break down The First Death of Laurie Strode, covering the first two issues, and also talk about what issue three was supposed to be about, so stick around for that. Issue #1 Breakdown: The story picks up right after Halloween II—Michael Myers has just been burned alive in the hospital. Lori reflects on that night, learning she had a brother, finding out she was adopted, and realizing her whole life had been a lie. Her friends are dead, and she's dealing with the trauma of surviving one of the most brutal massacres in Haddonfield's history. We see her struggling to cope, questioning why everyone thinks Michael is dead, knowing in her heart that he’s not. The town of Haddonfield is on edge, with everyone dreading sundown. There's this eerie scene at a hardware store where a guy takes down Michael Myers masks, only for them to disappear from the dumpster moments later. Lori’s PTSD is creeping in, and she sees Michael everywhere—at the hospital, at her friends’ graves, and even on the streets of her town. The issue ends with Dr. Loomis showing up, and you get a sense that this series is going to explore Lori’s mental unraveling as she struggles with whether Michael is really dead or if he's still out there. Issue #2 Breakdown: Several months have passed since Lori escaped Michael Myers, but she’s still haunted by visions of him. We see her struggling with her identity, questioning whether she’s really Lori Strode or Cynthia Myers, and having horrific nightmares where she literally pulls her own face off and replaces it with a Michael Myers mask. Dr. Loomis is back, trying to help Lori, but he’s not convinced Michael is gone either. He tells Lori that Michael is more than just human—he’s pure evil. Loomis is determined not to leave Haddonfield until he sees Michael's dead body, which the authorities still haven’t found. The issue ends with Lori, now spiraling, hallucinating Michael everywhere. But it turns out, she’s not imagining things—Michael is actually back, and he’s already taken his first victim: Jimmy, one of Lori’s friends. This brutal murder sets the stage for what would have been the climax of the series. What Was Supposed to Happen in Issue #3: In the third and final issue, Lori’s mental state worsens as she becomes more dependent on drugs and alcohol, trying to numb the pain. Dr. Loomis is certain Michael will return, and tensions in the town of Haddonfield are at an all-time high, with mobs walking the streets, hunting for any sign of Michael Myers. The most significant development in this missing issue was supposed to be Lori faking her death. Instead of actually dying, she would have staged her own death to escape Michael's endless pursuit. This storyline was meant to lead directly into Halloween H20, where Lori fakes her death, moves to California, and assumes a new identity as Keri Tate, the headmistress of a private school. The unresolved Mark of Thorn storyline was supposed to deal with the mythology from Halloween 4, 5, and 6—the Thorn trilogy—but unfortunately, we never got that either. Man, Halloween: The First Death of Laurie Strode could have been an amazing bridge between the early films and the later entries in the Halloween franchise. It's a shame we never got that third issue or The Mark of Thorn. Still, for fans of the Halloween series, these two issues are a fascinating glimpse into what could have been. If you’re a fan of Michael Myers and want to dive deeper into the Halloween lore, this comic is worth checking out. ** Music in this video was licensed to Brent Bromberg from power director. 0:00 -Introduction 1:49 -Chapter 1 First death of Laurie Strode 12:07 -Chapter 2 First death of Laurie Strode 22:30 -Chapter 3 Frist death of Laurie Strode *Devil's Due Publishing 2008*
