Ok, I know I should just watch the movie and enjoy it for what It is but after seeing H2 many times over the years, I seem to be thinking about this....as I get older, all I can think is...ok, this is a smallish town, hours have passed, what happened is all over the news, and Laurie's parents are STILL not there with her at the hospital?!?! It must be one hell of a party they're at!
shareAfter watching Halloween 2 again, remember the flashback scene. Where Mrs. Strode tells Laurie to her face 'I'm not your real mother '. I always thought she didn't give a care about Laurie compared to Morgan who did. So it's a possibility that once she saw Michael Myers escaped on the news, that was it for her. Or Michael slaughtered them after they left the party.
shareNot possible. Michael never knew where the parents went after the party. He was too focused on re-acquiring Laurie. He neither had the time or the means to kill them. The Strode house is one of the many places the cops would look for Michael.

I really took it that they were either too loaded or upon discovery, high-tailed it out of there.
If we fast forward to H20, Laurie has a real drinking problem, we find out that she changed her identity, etc, etc - it isn't out of the realm of possibility that her adoptive parents completely crapped on her and left her on her own to deal with people and the psychological effects. They very well could have had a realization moment:
"Well-respected realty family to a catalyst for so many deaths!? See ya!"
Well if her dream is any indication of how her mom is, I'm sure she at least probably did crap out on her.
Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.

I haven't read through this thread yet, so forgive me if this has already been brought up, but it seemed to me like her parents didn't really care about her or like her for that matter. In the first movie, her father reminds her to drop the key off at the Myers' house, and he says it like he's kind of annoyed. In part II, when Laurie has that dream, her mother says to her, "How many times do I have to tell you? I'm NOT your mother." She was pretty rude, and then it shows Laurie as a little girl visiting Michael, and she's alone. Why would they allow her to be alone with him?
And then they just take off out of the blue, not even concerned about Laurie's well-being.

Also worth noting at the beginning of the original, Laurie's dad tells her the buyers are stopping by the house at 7:30. Does he mean AM or PM? Either poses questions. If Laurie's on her way to school, it's probably around 7:30am. And presumably he needs to be there, so why not meet them there. And PM? Makes a little more sense, depending on one's schedule, but why do that on Halloween night, and on the anniversary of the murder? Plus either way raises questions to if those people ran into Michael, or found anything else. And if it's PM, makes it more strange they were at a party instead.
