And still they come? This fourth entry in the Halloween franchise focuses on Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), the niece of ubiquitous masked-killer Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur). Jamie tries to lead a normal life, but she can’t escape the vengeance of her “funny uncle,” who once more escapes from the looney bin. The only echo of the original Halloween – and a faint one at that – is the casting of Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis, who manages to get through his “We must stop him!” scenes as if mouthing the words for the first time. Though as predictable as they come, Halloween 4 etc. is at least well acted, directed and photographed. For the record, the German version of the film had to be shorn of practically all its gore before the censors would permit a general release.

This is the last Halloween film that I actually like (after this is all ‘Cult of Thorn’, 90s meta-commentary, and 2018 reboot-sequel stuff that I don’t care for). Michael is actually really smart, and brutal, with some great kills here. Loomis is awesome, as someone whose sole reason for being alive is to ensure Michael dies. His reunion with Michael at the gas station is one of the coolest stand-offs in the franchise. Danielle Harris is phenomenal as Jamie, the most adorable and tragic final girl in the series. For a child actress in a slasher film, Danielle was outstanding! Rachel is also great as Jamie’s brave older sister. This is definitely a cheesy movie in spots, so if you are not down for that then don’t watch it. But as a fun, popcorn-entertainment, slasher film, it is a good time and worth your money! Also, THAT ENDING!!!!

Halloween 4: The Best Sequel
Let’s be honest here, no matter what horror franchise, the original is, and always will be, the best of the series. There are no ifs ands or buts about it. Yet every once in a while there comes a sequel that is actually worth the money that’s spent on it by the company and the public.For the “Halloween” franchise, that sequel was “Halloween 4”.The execs. in charge of the franchise made a hug mistake in “Halloween 3,” making it completely independent of the tale of Michael Myers. This film, however, reunites viewers with their beloved blank-faced, sociopathic trick-or-treater they all know and love in a huge way.Following the events of “Halloween II,” Michael Myers is in a coma, severely burnt from his most recent battle with his former doctor Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance). While being transferred to another hospital, Michael escapes to hunt down his niece Jamie (Danielle Harris) and once again bring terror to the town of Haddonfield.Honestly, this movie is impeccably made. This is the only sequel that addresses how Michael got another mask. This is also the only sequel that actually instills the feeling of autumn from the very first couple of frames.The story is not too over done (as it is in the sixth installment) and the plot line is pretty solid for being about a serial killer stalking a little girl. The acting is amazing on all counts. Harris is, believably, one of the greatest child horror movie actors I’ve ever seen. This makes all preconceived notions about the film fly out the window and lets the audience create their own experience.When I was younger, Halloween H20 was my favorite installment in the series, but now that I am older I can see the flaws in that film. It was quite the opposite with this movie, where I grew to appreciate it more and more as time went by.A great movie by itself but an amazing chapter in the mythos of Michael Myers.

Absolutely LOVE for Halloween 4: The return of Michael Myers
For any Halloween series LOVER, Halloween 4: The return of Michael Myers is my favorite after the 1978 original Halloween, when it all started in Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night in 1963. I love all of the movies (minus the Rob Zombie versions)â¦â¦.but thereâs something about part 4 that makes it my go to movie. Iâve seen it probably a 100,000 timesâ¦â¦..Halloween is my favorite time of year and all the horror movies on TV (especially FearFeast on AMC)â¦â¦I donât wanna leave the TV during the time that all the good horror movies come in. I know there are other ppl that are as crazy about the Halloween movies as I am so, I absolutely 100 billion % highly recommend this Halloween 4: The return of Michael Myersâï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

The Night Michael Myers Came Back Home
It’s about time that they finally got around to making a HALLOWEEN IV resurrecting Michael Myers from HALLOWEEN I and II and got it released on DVD.This was a great Halloween addition, despite George Wilbur’s role as Michael Myers not being as creepy or as sophisticated nor as convincing as Nick Castle role as Michael Myers in HALLOWEEN I and Dick Warlock’s role as Michael Myers in HALLOWEEN 2, since Michael didn’t do his heavy-breathing the way Myers did in both HALLOWEEN II and the original, plus the music score in HALLOWEEN 4 wasn’t quite as good nor as creepy as the music scores used in both the first 2 HALLOWEEN’s.On the other hand, HALLOWEEN IV made a great resurrection by bringing Michael Myers back in the Fall of 1988 after HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH bombed at the box office back in the Fall of 1982 along with the fact that me and a lot of other Halloween fanatics had wished for Michael Myers to come back as well as another HALLOWEEN addition to the Halloween saga to plot a revenge in his hometown(Haddonfield, Illinois) after 10 years trying to repeat the same disaster and ordeal he caused in Haddonfield back in the Fall of 1978 with Donald Pleasance reprising his role as the now fire-scarred obsessed Dr. Loomis hot on Myers trail again unsuccessfully attempting to prevent another disasterous Halloween night in the remote Haddonfield.It’s just too bad they had taken so long to make a HALLOWEEN 4, which didn’t finally come out till 6 years after the cheesy unsuccessful HALLOWEEN 3 came out, because between Halloween sequels that took place between the original and HALLOWEEN III, they ended up waiting 7 years to make another Halloween sequel with Michael Myers in it, since the last Halloween installation with Michael Myers prior to HALLOWEEN 4 was HALLOWEEN 2, which theatrical release was in the Fall of 1981, which was a pretty long time to wait to bring back the successful character of all the Halloween movies.Therefore; in HALLOWEEN IV the producers had to improvise by revising the story & conclusion to what supposedly ended up happening on Halloween night of 1978 since HALLOWEEN 2 concluded with Loomis and Myers presumably dying off in the Haddonfield Memorial Hospital fire explosion, but in this flick Loomis and Myers miraculously didn’t die in that hospital fire after all, but had nearly burned to death after Loomis set Myers on fire during that hospital expolosion leaving Myers in a presumed 10-year coma until he finally awakens from it in this movie on Halloween Eve of 1988 to relive his killing-spree.I don’t think director(Dwight Little) did as good of a job with HALLOWEEN 4 as John Carpenter did in HALLOWEEN I and Rick Rosenthal did with HALLOWEEN II.Therefore, I think HALLOWEEN IV probably would’ve been better and quite a bit more shocking if John Carpenter had directed it, since he did a phenomenal job making HALLOWEEN I along with all the music scoring he did in both the original and HALLOWEEN 2 along with using his creative phenomenal HALLOWEEN Theme that was also used in HALLOWEEN I and II, which reminds me that HALLOWEEN IV came out the same year that both FRIDAY THE 13TH-PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-PART IV: THE DREAM MASTER did, since FRIDAY THE 13TH-PART 7 was released in the movie theatre in the Spring of 1988, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-PART 4 was released in the Summer of 1988 and HALLOWEEN 4 was released in the Autumn of 1988.The one thing that baffles me that didn’t make a lot of sense about HALLOWEEN IV is how was Michael Myers able to see again and how was Michael Myers able to know that his kid sister Laurie Strode(Jamie-Lee Curtis) was dead and how was Michael to know what his niece Jamie(Danielle Harris)even looked like since Michael had both his eyes shot out in HALLOWEEN II and had been incapaccitated in a deep-sleep for 10 years after Halloween night of 1978 and how would he even know to track his adopted niece instead of his sister, since Laurie was no where to be found and was supposedly dead already, since Michael had never even laid eyes on Jamie along with the fact that Michael had already been in a coma before Jamie was even born.The other thing that baffles me about HALLOWEEN IV is in this sequel; the fictional remote town of Haddonfield is bigger, prettier, more colorful, and quite alive for a town that is located in a secluded area, but in HALLOWEEN I the city of Haddonfield was like a ghost-town since Haddonfield was smaller, quieter, less colorful, and even more rural than it was in this movie, but perhaps it was due to the fact that the filming locations in HALLOWEEN 4 took place in Salt Lake City, Utah back in the Spring of 1988, but in the orginal HALLOWEEN the filming locations took place in the L.A. Area, especially in Pasadena and Hollywood which was why producers had to import Autumn leaves during its filming in Southern California back in the Spring of 1978.However; my guess on why they had decided to bring Michael Myers back and were prompted to make HALLOWEEN 4 was due to the fact that HALLOWEEN 3: THE SEASON OF THE WITCH had toppled so badly at the box office with very poor reviews back in the Autumn of 1982 after it was released in the movies back in October 1982, since HALLOWEEN III had no Michael Myers, no Dr. Loomis(Donald Pleasance), no Laurie, and no Sheriff Brackett(Charles Cyphers), especially no Michael Myers, but the only reason why HALLOWEEN 3 was unrelated to HALLOWEEN I and 2 was due to the fact that John Carpenter & Debra Hill only agreed to produce another sequel if HALLOWEEN III had no Michael Myers since they felt Michael had run his course.Overall, HALLOWEEN IV was not a bad flick, even though HALLOWEEN 4 wasn’t quite as good as the first 2 HALLOWEENs, but was still way better than HALLOWEEN III: THE SEASON OF THE WITCH was, especially since HALLOWEEN 3 was the weakest sequel to the whole Halloween saga and was totally unrelated to the rest of the Halloween installments, especially from HALLOWEEN I and II.The only thing I find kind of odd is why didn’t the producers use Michael Myers new mask that he used in this HALLOWEEN IV on the cover & poster of this sequel instead of using the mask that he used in the original HALLOWEEN which was actually a STAR TREK Capt. Kirk mask spray painted with white, but in this sequel, they used a more self-made ghoulish Halloween mask that was a little more sophisticated & ghostly, but a little less creepy.
