EPILOGUE:
I slammed the front door shut and went down the hall to relay the news of victory to Mrs. Karpis. I expected applause, a relieved embrace, the adoration of a thankful spouse...but, wait...what's this???
Mrs. Karpis: "Are you
sure you got it this time?"
Karpis:
Mrs. Karpis: "I mean, did you actually see it fly off?"
Karpis: "Well, not exactly...but I know it was in the net...it had to be."
So out to the front yard we go to inspect net.
No bat in the net.
Loomis rushes to Laurie and bends down beside her. For a moment she just cries in his arms, sobbing hysterically.
Then she looks up at him with a glazed, wild expression.
LAURIE
It was the Boogeyman...
Loomis looks down at her, then up at the shattered window
at the end of the hall.
LOOMIS
As a matter of fact it was.
He walks slowly down to the window and peers out.
LOOMIS' POV -- BACKYARD
He looks down at the spot where Michael should be, but
there is nothing there, just a trampled patch in the grass.
ANGLE ON LOOMIS
He stares down with a growing fear, then looks out from
the house.
LOOMIS' POV
The backyard, the neighboring yards, the street, all are
empty, quiet, dark. There is only the SOUND of the wind
swelling in the trees.
Michael is gone.
FADE TO BLACK.
ROLL END TITLES.
THE END
