a dog dies
spoiler
The top comment is incorrectly referring to Halloween (1978) and this entry is for the 2018 sequel. (Confusingly, the franchise has three entries with the same title: Halloween (1978) the original, Halloween (2007) the Rob Zombie "semi-remake", and this entry Halloween (2018) a sequel by Blumhouse)
Halloween (2018): No onscreen/offscreen animal cruelty occurs -- A deleted scene however has a dog, hanging from a tree that can only be seen (as of Jan 2021) as an extra and not in any available versions

We're told throughout that one of the adult characters grew up in an atmosphere of paranoia, constantly being prepared and trained for a possible future encounter with a murderer.

I must stress, however, that the parent did it out of a very understandable fear for the child's safety, and hence with good intentions.

Comment to grey26's comment: By no means can we be sure that Myers escapes in the end. In fact, comment sense and normal experience tell us that he must be dead, only there's a little teaser in the form of a discreet sound at the very end (which I personally didn't even notice; I just read about it in IMDb trivia afterwards).
