Both Films were set in
Haddonfield, Illinois, USA
Answer: I don't mean to 'steal' this answer, because I think the location where film is set is correct (although "Haddonfield, Illinois" is fictitious). However, the location is not the question.
As for the question, the film establishes Michael Myers killed his sister in 1963, when he was a young boy.
The rest of the film presumably takes place in or around 1978, when the original movie was released, and when Michael Myers is old enough to really start causing trouble as a preternatural killer.
