One of the biggest looming fears around Laurie the entire film is her mental health and if her fear of Michael will lead her to suicide. At one point, it legitimately seems like she going to go through with ending her life as she sets up the scene in a haunting fashion. After having a heartbreaking fight with Allyson, Laurie calls the police reporting her own suicide, intensely grips a gun, and fires a shot off-screen leaving you with a pit in your stomach.

However, it all ends up being a ruse since she’s actually just playing it up for Corey, who’s walking into the room to kill her, and she instead puts two rounds in his chest. Laurie even taunts Corey, for thinking that she would actually go through with it. Now, this does beg the question if Laurie was actually in this frame of mind at all throughout “Halloween Ends” or if it was just a ruse to make herself look weak so that if Michael ever came back she could catch him off-guard like she did Corey. There’s no doubt that Laurie’s going through some stuff, but it’s not out of her realm of tactics.
