 This page is not meant to glorify violence.
It exists because too many people only remember the killer and forget the people who had to live through it.

I started this page after reading several newspaper articles about the events in Haddonfield.
What bothered me most was how every article focused on Michael Myers while barely mentioning the survivors.
Laurie Strode was only a teenager when her life changed forever.
I can't imagine what it must feel like to spend every October knowing the entire world remembers the worst night of your life.
Some people online treat the murders like campfire stories or entertainment.
I think that's cruel.
What happened in Haddonfield destroyed families, friendships, and people's sense of safety.
But Laurie survived.
Maybe survival itself is a kind of victory.
Letter of the Week
"I grew up in Illinois and remember my parents locking every door every Halloween night because of the stories coming out of Haddonfield.
Your page reminded me there were real people behind all of it."
