Audio problem: When Tommy replays Jamie's call about Michael, there's an announcement at the bus station, when Jamie makes that call, you don't hear that announcement.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Joe Chappelle
Starring: Paul Rudd, Donald Pleasence, Mitch Ryan, Mitchell Ryan, Marianne Hagan
Tommy wears down Michael in a series of ambushes, finishing him off with one last savage beating that leaves Michael pulped and presumed dead. He, Stephen (Jamie Lloyd's baby),Kara and Danny escape. Loomis stays behind to see to some 'unfinished business'. The camera cuts back to the shadowy room where they left Michael's body...where there is now only a mask on the floor.

More mistakes in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Sheriff: Go back to your loony bin. I've got enough problems around here without you stirring up ghost stories.
Doctor Sam Loomis: I suppose it was a ghost who did all of this, and a ghost on the radio last night, and a ghost being carried out of here now."
Trivia: The film went through several titles during production, and the final title wasn't settled on until shortly before the film was released. An early trailer even referred to the film by an alternative title: "Halloween 666: The Origin of Michael Myers", which itself was a combination of titles from two different drafts of the script.
Question: What is Michael Myers' curse, and why does it involve him killing his relatives?
Answer: I read the movie tie in book after the first Halloween came out. As I remember it, a boy with a crippled leg was in love with his own sister. During the Samhain (harvest end/halloween) festival, he killed his sister and her soon to be husband with a knife. The tribe tore him apart, and the chieftain cursed his soul to forever repeat his crime forever, etc. The book or following books in the series described Michael Myers' grandfather or great-grandfather losing his mind at a dance and killing a dancing couple. Every other generation or so the soul takes over a decendant, leaving enough people alive to continue the curse.

Answer: The other answer is based on a novel and not on the film itself. According to this film (and the alternative Producer's Cut), the curse of Thorn is an ancient druid curse that must be fulfilled - a chosen one is picked from every "tribe", and made into an almost superhuman figure. This chosen one will then be forever compelled to sacrifice and kill-off his or her own family on the night of Samhain (aka, Halloween night) every year until the curse is either stopped or passed onto another.
