--> '''Jamie Lee Curtis:''' Very clearly, Laurie Strode had no help. She had no mental health services, a group of psychologists didn't descend on Haddonfield. I believe Laurie Strode went back to high school two days later with a bandage on her arm, and that's about it. I don't think people talked about it, and so for me the exploration of trauma was integral to, not only the writing, but for then, the performance.

* {{Revenge}}: Since he had no reason for his original attempt on Laurie's life in this version and she just happened to catch his interest, it is likely that the reason why he is targeting he again when he could literally go after anyone else is to take revenge for his blinded eye and the other wounds that Laurie inflicted on him forty years ago. Never mind the fact that it was self defense and he tried to kill her first. Either that, or he's just mildly annoyed that someone managed to escape him and wishes to correct that.
