Jamie Lloyd is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists
of the Halloween franchise. Introduced in Halloween 4: The Return of
Michael Myers as the series' new protagonist after Jamie Lee Curtis
refused to return as Laurie Strode, the character returned in
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and Halloween: The Curse of
Michael Myers. Jamie was created by Alan B. McElroy and portrayed by
child actress Danielle Harris in the fourth and fifth films of the
series, while J.C. Brandy played her in the sixth (although Harris
reappears in an archival opening flashback sequence in the latter
film’s Producer’s Cut). Originally, the character was named
Brittany "Britti" Lloyd, before her name was changed to Jamie, in an
homage to Jamie Lee Curtis.In the films, Jamie is Laurie Strode's
daughter, who was killed offscreen in a car accident in the time
between Halloween II and 4. As such, she is also the niece of the
series' main antagonist, Michael Myers, and becomes her uncle's new
primary target after he learns about Laurie's death. Michael
eventually succeeds in killing a young adult Jamie in The Curse of
Michael Myers, though not before she gives birth to a baby son that he
next sets to murder.Jamie is introduced in Halloween 4: The Return of
Michael Myers (1988) as Laurie Strode's daughter and Michael Myers'
niece. Her mother is described to have died in a car crash at some
point before 1988; the identity of her father is not revealed.
Following Laurie's death, Jamie was adopted by the Carruthers family,
developing a close bond with her older foster sister, Rachel (Ellie
Cornell). However, she suffers from nightmares about Michael and is
bullied at school for being related to "The Boogeyman". On October 30,
1988, Michael (George P. Wilbur) recovers from his ten-year coma while
being transported in an ambulance, and escapes to hunt down his
relatives once more. In Haddonfield, while on the trail for Jamie,
Michael kills the Carruthers' dog, a worker at the power plant (which
causes a blackout of the entire town), most of the police force, the
deputy, the police chief's daughter Kelly, Rachel's boyfriend Brady,
and 4 men from a vigilante mob. Escaping from town, Jamie cowers in a
pick-up truck as Rachel hits Michael head on, throwing him off the
road and knocking him out. Despite Rachel's orders, Jamie goes over to
him and holds his hand. When the police arrive, they tell Jamie to
drop to the ground and open fire on Michael, sending him falling down
a mine shaft, which then collapses on top of him. Later, back in her
foster home, Jamie is apparently possessed by Michael's spirit and
attacks her foster mother (Karen Alston). When screams are heard from
upstairs, Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) goes to investigate and
finds Jamie holding a pair of bloody scissors, similarly to Michael
when he killed his older sister Judith. Sheriff Ben Meeker (Beau
Starr) restrains Loomis from shooting her, and both men, Jamie's
foster father (Jeff Olson), and Rachel watch in horror, realizing that
Jamie is following in Michael's footsteps.In Halloween 5: The Revenge
of Michael Myers (1989), set one year later, a severely traumatized
Jamie is housed in the Haddonfield Children's Clinic. She has now been
rendered mute and suffers from nightmares and seizures, while being
treated for attacking her foster mother (who is described to have
survived) under Michael's influence. When a still-living Michael
(Donald L. Shanks) awakens from a year-long coma, she exhibits signs
of a telepathic link with her uncle, eventually regains the ability to
speak, and has seizures whenever her uncle kills someone. Michael
kills Rachel, four of her friends, two cops, and the Carruthers' new
dog while in pursuit of Jamie. Towards the end, Loomis lures Michael
into a trap at the old Myers house, using Jamie as bait. Michael finds
Jamie, who tries to appeal to his humanity. At her request, he takes
off his mask, but is set into a fit of rage when Jamie touches his
face. Ultimately, Loomis is able to shoot Michael with tranquilizer
darts and beat him unconscious with a wooden beam. Michael is
subsequently imprisoned at the local jail, awaiting transport to a
maximum-security facility, where, Meeker says, he will remain "until
the day he dies," to which Jamie responds, "He'll never die." After
Jamie is escorted out to be taken home, the mysterious "Man in Black"
attacks the police station and frees Michael. Jamie enters to see
numerous police officers dead and Michael gone, causing her to sob in
terror.
