Biography[]
Early Life[]
Cameron Elam was born in Haddonfield, Illinois in 2000 to a father, Lonnie, and an unnamed mother. His father used to bully Tommy Doyle as a child, but following both of their 1978 encounters with Michael Myers, they became close friends.
Halloween, 2018[]
Events of Halloween (2018):[]
During a celebration dinner with his girlfriend's family, Laurie arrives and has a panic attack.
Later during the night, Cameron is at a school-sanctioned Halloween party with his girlfriend. An argument occurs when Allyson catches him cheating on her with Kim. Cameron casually explains he is drunk, trying to dismiss it, causing her to get angry. He then dumps her phone in a bowl of pudding afterwards. Later in the night, his best friend, Oscar is killed.
Events of Halloween Kills (2021):[]
Cameron is walking home from the party, attempting to call Oscar, when he sees the near-dead Frank Hawkins laying on the side of the street, possibly only seconds after Ranbir Sartain had attacked Hawkins and driven off.
He ends up saving Hawkins' life by getting him help, who is then rushed to the hospital. Cameron reunites with Allyson and Karen at the hospital and joins Tommy Doyle's mob hunting down Michael Myers.
Along with Allyson and his father Lonnie, after learning that Michael is heading back to his home, he heads to the Myers' house where the three of them believe Michael to be. Lonnie tells the pair to wait in the car, but they ignore this request and head in soon after. After seeing his father's corpse, Cameron is brutally killed by Michael, as Allyson watches on.
Trivia[]
- He and Allyson did a gender swap Bonnie and Clyde costume for Halloween, but did not disclose the twist to his girlfriend's father when asked about it.
- Like Karen Nelson, he survives the first chapter of the Blumhouse Trilogy, but dies in the sequel. Both characters also resemble Rachel from the fourth and fifth films in this regard.
- After John and Tim Strode in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Lonnie and Cameron are the second father and son pair that Michael has killed in a single movie.
