After learning that the place where Dr. Satan was killed is nearby, they decide to look for the tree on which the famous Dr. Satan was hanged.

There is also the boy’s younger sister, Laurie, a one-year-old girl whom Michael genuinely loves. But he is also bullied at school, which Michael finds increasingly difficult to bear. After an older boy attacks him one day in front of school, Michael waits for him in a nearby forest and beats him to death. That same evening, while the mother is out of the house and his peers masked as monsters on Halloween visit the neighbors, Michael goes on a bloody spree. He kills his stepfather, older sister and her boyfriend.
Eleven months later, Michael is a patient of Dr. Samuel Loomis (M. McDowell), a prominent psychiatrist who is extremely intrigued by the boy’s case. Among the staff of the psychiatric hospital, the only one who treats Michael correctly is the cleaner Cruz (D. Trejo), a man who tries to understand the psychotic boy.
