TEN YEARS AGO HE CHANGED THE FACE OF HALLOWEEN. TONIGHT HE’S BACK!

Michael Myers wakes up from a ten-year coma, escapes and targets his niece (Danielle Harris); dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is once again on his heels.

Never mind the third stand-alone chapter, this movie has Myers back in action, even though Laurie Strode has been killed off. His attempts to destroy her young daughter result in a few grotesque scenes; the filmmakers try to capture the original’s atmosphere.

The last scene has shock value, but on the whole this is a mediocre entry.

1988-U.S. 88 min. Color. Directed by Dwight H. Little. Cast: Donald Pleasence (Sam Loomis), Ellie Cornell (Rachel Carruthers), Danielle Harris (Jamie Lloyd), George P. Wilbur, Michael Pataki, Beau Starr. 

Trivia: Followed by Halloween 5 (1989).
