The 3 girls spot "The Shape" stalking them. Annie and Lynda start making rude comments to "The Shape". The Shape then leaves. Laurie tells Annie and Lynda that they're crazy for insulting the man and that he could have been dangerous. Lynda then jokingly tells Laurie that she should date the man. Just then Annie's father drives up to the girls, he's the sheriff. He takes Annie and asks Lynda and Laurie if they want a ride. Lynda and Laurie tell him that they're fine. He proceeds to leave home with Annie. Lynda and Laurie keep walking to their homes as they keep talking. Soon they arrive at Lynda's home. She farewells Laurie and leaves. Laurie arrives home. There, she meets up with her parents. Night falls, and before going to the Doyle's house to babysit Tommy, Laurie's parents, warn her to be careful. Annie arrives and picks up Laurie. The Shape arrives at Laurie's house and kills both of her parents. At the mean time, The Shape's childhood physcologist, Donald, finds Sheriff Brackett and tells him about The Shape's escape from jail and return to his hometown to find his baby sister (Obviously Laurie). Brackett gets a call from a police officer, who tells him that both of the Strodes were killed. Brackett leaves to the crime scene as Donald heads out to find The Shape. Laurie arrives at the Doyle's house to babysit Tommy for the night. Annie is babysitting Lindsay Walker across from the Doyle's house. Annie gets a pumpkin as a gift for Laurie. She and Lindsay cross the street and arrive at the Doyle's house. There, Annie and Laurie have a little talk about how Laurie really needs to get a boyfriend. Annie leaves and goes back to the Walker's house where Paul is waiting for her. She has sex with Paul and are both attacked by The Shape. The Shape kills Paul by impaling him against the wall and he brutally beats Annie up! At the same time Lynda and Josh are having sex as well, a few blocks away. Josh gets up and heads into the kitchen, where he is killed by The Shape. At the mean time Lynda is on the phone talking to Laurie about school and other stuff. Lynda hangs up when she sees The Shape next to her dressed as a ghost, thinking it's Josh. She gets near him and is killed. Laurie notices that it's 11 pm and that both Lindsay and Tommy have fallen asleep. She goes to the Walker's house to notice Annie about picking Lindsay. Once she enters, she's horrified to find Annie bloody and bruised up, laying the carpet. She starts crying as she knees down to Annie. Annie urges Laurie to call the police. Suddenly Laurie is attacked by The Shape. She's able to escape out of the house. She starts running across the street, while screaming for help. She gets inside the Doyle's house where she finds that Tommy and Lindsay have awoken. The Shape breaks in the house. Laurie orders Lindsay and Tommy to run out from the back door and find help. She runs upstairs, where she supposedly thinks that she has killed The Shape. Donald who was coincidentally walking down the street, spots Lindsay and Tommy screaming and running out of the Doyle's house. This makes him come to a conclusion that The Shape is IN the house. At the mean time, The Shape gets up and starts chocking Laurie. Donald comes in time and shoots The Shape off the balcony. When Donald goes to the balcony to check on The Shape, he is no longer there. He goes back in the room and Laurie asks him if that was the boogeyman. In which Donald tells her that in fact it was.
