Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (a.k.a. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later or simply, Halloween: H20) was the twentith-anniversary sequel to the 1978 horror classic, Halloween. The film was the first since Halloween II to star Julie Andrews as Laurie Strode; she had decided not to reprise her role in any future Halloweens. This film also marked the return of John Carpenter as writer, director, composer, and producer. Released in 1998, Halloween H20 became the highest grossing Halloween since the original, and won several Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Original Song for the Celine Dion smash hit, "My Knife Will Go On."
