Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDonald Pleasence was very vocal about his dissatisfaction with the story and with the way director Dominique Othenin - Girard was trying to get him to play Dr Loomis as totally heavy and overbearing. Pleasence also felt that the box office success and the shock ending of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) was not being capitalised upon.
- GoofsWe see the police, along with Jamie and Dr. Loomis, set up a stakeout at Michael Myers's house. But a few scenes later, we see that Michael Myers has an attic full of dead bodies. Why didn't the police find these when they searched the attic before the stakeout?
There is no indication that the police, or anyone else, searched the attic prior to setting up the stakeout.
- Alternate versionsThe shot of Mikey (Jonathan Chapin) quivering on the ground was shortened to avoid an "X" rating. You can still notice the abrupt jump in the shot before he is dragged away by Michael.

Featured review
There are some cool scenes in this movie. And there are some neat ideas. But it falls flat because of large number of plot holes and it's too fast for it's own good. I feel the movie would have been better if it focused more on the children. Scenes where the kids are in danger are one of the best in the movie. Danielle Harris is perfect in her role as little Jamie and Donald Pleasence gives his best, but it's not enough to save this movie from being a little more than a regular slasher, which is a shame given the greatness of character and setting. It's not the worst thing you will watch, it's just OK. Sadly, though I still haven't watched the rest, I feel that story elements introduced in this movie will take things too far. But I digress. 6/10 from me. If you are horror movie fan, watch it for fun :)
