Biography
In September 1993, The Strodes adopt a baby girl whom they name Laurie. They were unaware of her relation to the Myers family as she was dropped off at the hospital by Mason's friend Lee Brackett after Deborah Myers committed suicide. Lee didn't want the baby to have the stigma of her family, so he omitted her from the records of what happened with the Myers family. Mason and his wife Cynthia raised Laurie in a normal life.

15 years later on Halloween night, He is trying to sell the Myers house as no one has lived in it since Deborah died. He asks his daughter to drop off an envelope at thet Myers house. This is when Michael discovers his sister and where the Strodes live. That night he tells his daughter to be careful before she leaves to babysit Tommy Doyle. Moments after Cynthia goes inside to talk about their upcoming vacation while Mason finishes his cigarette, Michael then approaches Mason and has his throat slit with a butcher knife. Michael drags Mason's body in the house and kills Cynthia.
