School Life[]
Cameron and Allyson in school.
One morning before class, Cameron surprised Allyson by playfully scaring her and asking if they were still on that night for dinner with her family. After she expressed worries about him meeting her parents, Cameron told her to calm down and after laughing, the two shared as kiss, one that was swiftly interrupted by Oscar who jokingly accused Cameron of cheating on him by going to the school's Halloween dance with Allyson instead of him. As Oscar playfully dragged Cameron away, Allyson waved goodbye and the three all headed to class.
Meeting the Parents[]
Cameron attends dinner with Allyson and her parents, Ray and Karen.
That night, Cameron attended dinner with Allyson and her parents, Ray and Karen Nelson, at a local resturaunt. Whilst they were still waiting for Allyson's grandmother, Laurie, to arrive, Cameron began bantering with them in order to leave a good impression and for them to get to know him better. He discussed his recent DNA discovery of being part Cherokee and mentioned his father, prompting Ray to mention his past with Lonnie Elam, including the two doing drugs together, causing Cameron to awkwardly go silent. However, after making a joke, the whole table was able to laugh together.
After further discussing the Halloween dance, Allyson questioned her mother about mentioning the dinner to Laurie just before the latter promptly arrived and greeted everyone. Cameron politely stood to greet her and sat back down afterwards, before Laurie quickly grabbed the nearest glass of wine and downed it, causing the table to fall silent. Once she was firmly asked to sit by Karen, she began to break down and rambled to Allyson about seeing "The Shape" and how "he" was back. Karen attempted to reason with her about moving on, but Laurie simply stood up and walked out, swiftly followed by Allyson. Ray and Cameron then helped her back into her truck and she drove away, whilst Cameron checked on Allyson to make sure she was alright.
School Dance[]
Cameron and Allyson as Bonnie and Clyde at the school dance.
On October 31, at the school's Halloween dance, Cameron and Allyson went dressed as a gender-bent Bonnie and Clyde and upon entering they had a quick costume shoot with Oscar, who took photos of everyone at the party. Once the three got inside, they immediately began dancing, with Cameron secretly drinking gin with oscar from a hidden flask. During the dance, Allyson recieved a call from her best friend, Vicky, and began to leave, with Cameron attempting to make her stay, however, she insisted that she would be right back. He and Oscar both started drinking some more and when Allyson got back, she saw another girl, Kim, talking to him and they kissed. Distraught, Allyson ran out of the room and Cameron quickly followed. The two argued and Allyson discovered his flask, he tried to explain but she got another call, this time from Laurie. Angered by this, Cameron grabbed her phone and threw it into a nearby bowl of nacho cheese. She told him she was done and effectively ended their relationship, leaving the party and a distraught Cameron behind.[1]
Hunting Michael Myers[]
Cameron discovers an injured Hawkins.
After leaving the party alone, Cameron attempted to walk home drunk, still in his Bonnie costume, and also tried to call Oscar, unaware that he had been brutally murdered earlier that night. However, on the way, he came across an unconcious and gravely injured Frank Hawkins and after recieving no reply from yelling if he was alright, Cameron quickly jumped the fence and tried to call for help, still holding onto his neck wound. Pressing on the wound caused Hawkins to wake up and he told Cameron that "he" needs to die. Worried for his safety, Cameron called an ambulance and once they arrived, he called his father, letting him know that Michael Myers is loose and attacking people.
Death[]
Shortly after Lonnie went inside the Myers House, Allyson and Cameron heard a gunshot inside and quickly went inside armed. When inside, Allyson discovered the corpses of Big John and Little John who had been murdered by Michael earlier that night. While Cameron was in the hall, he had suspicions of the closest and fearfully went to search it. Before he could advance further, he noticed that blood was dripping from the ceiling onto his hand. He quickly glanced up to see the horrific sight. His father had been mangled and stuffed into the attic, dead. Seeing this sight, Cameron fearfully and tearfully called his father when Michael suddenly emerged from the closet. Cameron let out a scream before Michael had redirected his gun before the boy could shoot him. Unarmed, Cameron is then stabbed in the gut twice by Michael before Allyson intervenes to prevent Michael from inflicting further damage. However, Allyson was subdued and was thrown down the stairs, which in turn broke her leg. Cameron, bleeding out from his wound called for Allyson before he took the knife out of his stomach. He then reached for his gun in an attempt to shoot Michael but this failed after Michael brutally stomped on Cameron’s hand, breaking it. Michael then grabs Cameron by his hair before smashing his head through the bannister and impaling him. He then leaves Cameron to attack Allyson after she taunts him and furiously tells him to come and kill her. As Michael walks down the stairs, he notices Cameron is still alive and as Allyson watches in horror, Michael finally kills Cameron by brutally snapping his neck.
