Today we're continuing the month of October with Chaos Comics Halloween 2 The Blackest Eyes from April 2001. We open where part one left off. The shape has been lit on fire and fell out Tommy Doyle's upstairs window to the ground below. By the time Tommy could get to the window though the shape was gone. As Tommy catches his breath and evaluates the scene and the damage to his office he reloads his gun and plans to follow in Loomis' footsteps to hunt down Michael Myers and kill him once and for all. For 24 years the Myers house has haunted Richie Castle's dreams leading endlessly back to the nightmare of when he met the boogeyman. We see in a flashback Richie the kid who caused Tommy to fall on his pumpkin that fateful Halloween so many years ago that Halloween afternoon Richie didn't know he'd met the devil in disguise but as he looked into those eyes the blackest eyes he knew evil had come to Haddonfield Illinois. By the following morning when people were dead Richie knew that evil now called Haddonfield its home. Those 24 years haven't been kind to Richie he never made it out on a football scholarship his attempt to be a success in the real estate business went sour during the market bust he lost his wife his job his house tonight Richie's gonna burn down the past he goes into the Myers house with a can of gasoline and plans to incinerate it but evil is there waiting for him. Former sheriff Brackett vowed he'd never return to Haddonfield after Michael Myers slaughtered his daughter Annie and her friends 22 years ago but he was nearby and discovered Richie covered in blood. Tommy sees Brackett leave the house carrying the body to his car Brackett doesn't want to stir up the memories of Michael again so he has to dispose of the body when Tommy follows Brackett to a pumpkin patch five miles outside Haddonfield it's revealed that Brackett is the one who killed Richie it was a mistake he thought it was Myers it's here that Sheriff Brackett reveals the story of Haddonfield and what led to the curse of Thorne Haddonfield was one of the earliest towns founded in the Midwest the name is derived from Hayden meaning cursed the devout Protestants who escaped religious persecution in England weren't the only ones some of those contemporaries of the infamous Cotton Mather were behind their pious pilgrim faces actually worshipers of a far older religion Druids during the New England witch hunts a group of clandestine Druids led by one Murphy Myers headed west fearing for their lives Myers was the direct descendant of a cursed bloodline the curse of Sam Hayden was placed upon the Myers descendants nearly 2000 years ago every generation of Myers was cursed while the women folk were touched with visions and sometimes the ability to read minds the firstborn male of each generation carried the seed of Sam Hayden's evil in order to appease the gods the Druid priests held fire rituals prisoners of war criminals the insane were all burned alive by observing the way they died they believed they could see omens of the future Michael was never meant to live for three generations the Myers family had been blessed with peace none had killed but that night Halloween 1957 they knew the evil had returned stronger than ever Audrey Myers was tortured by an agonizing three-day labor Michael was born at 1157 that night he was the first of the cursed Myers offspring to be born on that day as if the curse was waiting for a vessel to carry the ultimate evil Michael's body may have entered the world that night but his soul did not he was stillborn but that soul that black-hearted soul did arrive as night became day the day of the dead he was officially pronounced alive at 1206 a.m and the curse was fulfilled Michael displayed no extraordinary effects from his dark beginnings he been saying in the church choir with brackets younger brother but the leaders were not so easily lulled into a false sense of peace they waited watching for the fury of Sam Hayden to be released it's revealed that Judith was sheriff brackets ex-girlfriend he along with half the football team knew her in the biblical sense he dated her for a while before heading off to college it was rumored that mr. Myers was abusive bracket confirmed that yes he was physically abusive to the children perhaps even sexually abused Judith Judith was a nympho and there was some strange bond between her and Michael Judith's death led to bracket becoming a cup and eventually sheriff it turns out when Loomis died sheriff bracket received a package containing Loomis's secret journals it's then the two are attacked by the druids led by mrs. Blankenship Tommy Doyle has meddled enough in their affairs and Lee Brackett should have known better than to desecrate their sacred place but no more the two are taken by the cult and prepared for sacrifice in the church basement they plan to sacrifice the two but the minister of the church comes to odds with mrs. Blankenship the old way is no longer work if Brackett were to go to the cops he'd be locked up and Doyle has a history of mental illness who would believe him anyway the minister tries to save the two but just after he unties them the shape stabs them through the back with a butcher knife Brackett and Tommy attempt to stop him Brackett throws a lantern at the shape while Tommy fights him off the lantern catches him on fire once again but just as the shape swipes at Tommy with his knife Tommy dodges and the blade catches an electrical socket electrocuting him allowing Tommy to escape carrying a stabbed lead bracket the church explodes and Tommy is met by the druids who frame him for murder and arson leading to his arrest this was an interesting take on the story of Michael Myers it built upon everything that was set up in halloween's one through six expanding upon the curse and the history of haddonfield as well as the relationship within the Myers family this could be the reason why during the opening scene of halloween when Michael's parents discover him covered in blood holding the knife his mother doesn't really seem a bit surprised as she just steps back and puts her hands into her coat pockets the return of mrs. blinkenship as the leader of the cult was a nice twist and Tommy Doyle being framed for their crimes and lead Brackett's death was a nice touch we're still in the curse of Michael Myers timeline though but tune in next time when we connect the curse timeline with the h2o timeline in halloween 3 the devil's eyes from november 2001
