Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson and is finishing writing her memoir.

Surround usage is pleasing if not quite as omnipresent as it possibly could have been – the club scene is a perfect example of this, with the music being played locked firmly to the front soundstage, only bleeding into the rears and overheads when drama requires it to.
