After trying to turn the franchise into an anthology, Moustapha Akkad realized that if there isn’t a white mask on the poster, fans aren’t buying tickets. So, ten years after the night he was blown up in a hospital, Michael Myers wakes up from a coma during a standard-issue let’s transport the serial killer in a rainstorm ambulance transfer.

Michael heads back to Haddonfield to wrap up some family business. Laurie Strode is dead (killed off-screen in a car accident because Jamie Lee Curtis had moved on to A-list things), leaving behind a daughter named Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris). While Jamie deals with school bullies — Haddonfield may have the worst children ever — and connecting with her foster sister, Rachel (Ellie Cornell), Michael is busy impaling mechanics and shoving thumbs through skulls. Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) returns, looking more scarred and frantic than ever, trying to convince a skeptical town that the Boogeyman is back. It all culminates in a rooftop chase and a twist ending that promised a dark future the sequels immediately chickened out of.

This film feels nearly bloodless after the second film. It trades the John Carpenter dread for a slasher-by-the-numbers aesthetic that feels more like a made-for-TV movie than a cinematic nightmare. And don’t get me started on the mask. Michael looks like he’s wearing a department store knock-off that’s permanently surprised to be there. But wow, the opening credits may be the best Autumn mood moments ever. As more Halloween movies have been made, this has moved up on my list, however. I really love the idea that Loomis has lost his mind and been hunting Michael ever since; there are some wonderful small moments, like him sharing a drink with the preacher.
