Carruthers residence

The Carruthers residence is a fictional location featured in the Halloween film series. It first appeared in the 1988 movie sequel Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. It also appeared in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.

Description & History
The Carruthers residence was a two-story home located in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois. It was the home of the Carruthers family, which consisted of Richard and Darlene Carruthers, their teenage daughter Rachel, their foster daughter Jamie Lloyd and the family dog, Sundae. Jamie's psychotic uncle, Michael Myers broke into the house when nobody was home and rummaged through Jamie's belongings. He found a picture of his sister, Laurie Strode, and then killed Sundae.

It was later believed that Michael Myers had been shot and killed by the sheriff, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief; everyone except Jamie, who had been rendered mute from the trauma and remanded to the care of the Haddonfield Children's Clinic.

Rachel replaced Sundae with a Doberman Pincer that she named Max. Max got out one day, which frightened Rachel, who told Sam Loomis about it. Loomis, always the reactionary, correctly believed that Michael Myers was still alive, and told her to get out of the house. Wearing nothing but a bath towel, Rachel ran outside to the neighbors, who contacted the police.

Two ineffectual sheriff's deputies named Nick Ross and Tom Farrah arrived, but as they did so, Max returned home, causing Rachel no small measure of embarrassment for her alarmist reactions.

Rachel went back inside the house to change her clothes, and that's when Michael struck. Having cased the house earlier in the day, he sneaked inside and hid himself in her closet. He waited until Rachel was turned away, then stabbed her repeatedly with a pair of scissors until she died.
