Product Description:
This fourth installment of the series takes place ten years after the original and finds the man in the William Shatner mask in a coma and being transferred from Richmond Mental Institute to Smith's Grove. However, the van gets into a horrible accident, skidding off the road and exploding. Predictably, Myers' body is nowhere to be found in the wreckage, alarming both the skeptical police and the indefatigable Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence). Soon, Myers is spotted back in Haddonfield, and it becomes obvious that his next target is his young niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris). His return has whipped the town into a frenzied mob, which proves to be unfortunate for the Halloween revelers who have chosen the popular "Michael Myers" mask as their costume. Often considered the best of the sequels, THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS is a return to form for the series after the debacle of HALLOWEEN 3.

"You can't kill the bogeyman," the children insist to a terrorized Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in the original Halloween. How right they are. Laurie is gone, but guess who's back in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers? Acting as if the third entry never existed, this installment picks up 10 years after the original, with mad maniac Myers in a coma and moved to a new facility. But wouldn't you know it that as soon as a loose-lipped orderly lets slip that Myers has a surviving niece he springs back into action, leaving a bloody trail of corpses on the road to Haddonfield. Donald Pleasance returns as Dr. Loomis, scarred and crippled from his last encounter with Myers and seething with a fanatical zeal to stop the freak from repeating his previous rampage. Pleasance is the best thing about the film as an aging hero seemingly on the verge of madness who drags a bum leg in his manic rush to save little orphan Jamie (Danielle Harris), the 10-year-old waif terrorized by her homicidal uncle. Director Dwight Little has managed a generic if professional slasher picture, rife with improbabilities and dominated by a killer whose superhuman powers reach near-mystical dimensions, but he delivers the goods: shocks, stabs, and cold, cruel killings. --Sean Axmaker

Rating: - One of the best sequels, but also the beginning of the end
This film is probably one of the best written and most stylish Halloween films along with the first 3. Although I like this sequel, it seems to be more of the beginning of the 'let's turn michael into a jason-like cash-cow' phase. The film succeeds in scares and even some good thrilling action but falls short in some small corners with the true terror and build up that the first 2 really captured so well. The script is pretty good though, and Michael Myers is still looking scary, even though he looks ... Read More

- Halloween 4
This is one of my favorite movies and I really like the storyline. I also thought the death scenes were really good and some were really creative. I am glad I got this movie.
Rating: - Probably The Best Sequel in The Halloween Series
Halloween 4 is probably the best sequel (or just plain entry) in the Halloween series.That being said, this is the movie where Michael Myers stops being merely an escaped lunatic from an asylum wearing a mask and becomes something almost as unstoppable (and therefore kind of uninteresting) as Jason Voorhees from the 4th rate 'Friday the 13th Series'.Michael Myers can seemingly do anything and be anywhere ... there's no escaping him and so the tension is never amped up like it was in the first, classic ...

Rating: - Brilliant ending
In Haloween IV: The Return of Michael Myers, (as suggested by the title) Michael Myers returns (Halloween III having been a completely separate movie and not featureing Michael Myers). It has been 10 years since the events of Halloween and Halloween II and Michael escapes once again, this time while bein transported between institutions in an abulence, this time determined upon killing his niece, Jamie.
Lorrie (Jamie Lee Curtis) in not in this movie. We are instead introduced to her daughter, ... Read More

- You've really got to be kidding me...
Suddenly, as the film opens in Halloween 4: The Return of Micheal Myers, we as the viewer are subject to some odd little facts that just suddenly happened. Jaimie Lee Curtis is nowhere to be found, she suddenly has a daughter, Loomis is at his looniest and SOMEHOW survived the explosion in 2 (impossible) and on top of THAT, he lived threw it all with only a few visible scars on his face...
Need I mention that Micheal was shot in both eyes in 2, but has them back (but some strange turn of events) in 4... ... Read More
