| Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers |
comment |
When the idea of making the Halloween franchise into a Genre Anthology didn't work out, the studio had an obvious solution: bring back The Shape himself. Thus, this film picks up a decade after the events of Halloween II (1981).In Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, ten years have passed since Michael Myers terrorized the town of Haddonfield, Illinois. The fire that seemed to consume both Michael and Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) put Myers in a comatose state and burned Loomis over a good portion of his body, but both men lived. During a medical transport, the medical staff members happen to mention the fact that Michael has a young niece, Jamie (Danielle Harris), of whom he was previously unaware. Michael awakens from his comatose state, massacres the ambulance personnel, and heads back home with a new target in mind: Jamie herself. Loomis, as usual, follows the trail back to Haddonfield, and it soon becomes a race against time to save Jamie from her psychotic uncle.While not seen as the best of the series, it was well-received by fans at the time of its release, and did decent business at the box office, enough to bring Michael Myers back for good. It also begins a three-part story arc that continues with the fifth movie and concludes with Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. |

Failed a Spot Check: The medics transporting Michael in the opening fail to notice the supposedly comatose patient clenching his fist. Rachel, Jamie, and the driver all fail to notice Michael tossing people off the back of a pickup truck. In fact, they don't notice him at all until he smashes through the driver's side window and rips out the driver's throat. The worst of all is the third man in the bed of the truck who somehow manages not to notice Michael kill the other two men in the bed right behind him. |

Mythology Gag |
| Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers / int_26ac510e |
comment |
Mythology Gag: After impaling Kelly to the wall with the shotgun, Michael tilts his head exactly as he did in the first film after impaling Bob with a knife. Sheriff Meeker mentions that Sheriff Brackett retired in 1981. Halloween II (1981) was when Brackett last appeared in the franchise at the time, the implication being that he retired after his daughter Annie was killed. The kids at Jamie's school taunt her in a manner very similar to that which Tommy Doyle experienced in the first movie. The film opens on a rainy Halloween Eve, with two medical professionals going to pick up Michael from the hospital, and him escaping, just as seen in the original film did. |

Taught by Experience: Michael seems to have learned a thing or two about unwanted interference. He cuts phone lines in order to keep Loomis from warning the local authorities in advance and then totals the doctor's car to leave him stranded. He also takes out the police force before making a move on Jamie. Furthermore, considering how desolate the streets are during the blackout, he presumably caused it to ensure the townspeople would stay huddled indoors and out of his way. |

comment |
Police Are Useless: The Haddonfield Police force is massacred single-handedly. Only Sheriff Meeker survives because he isn't at the police station when Michael attacks it. In their defense, it's indicated they put up a fight, and Meeker does have the good sense to call the State Troopers. Sheriff Meeker himself is an overall aversion of this. He's genuinely competent and professional, more than willing to give Loomis the benefit of the doubt, and actively hunts and searches for Myers with a shotgun alongside Loomis. He's also completely badass. |

comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Look very carefully and you can just barely make out Michael lurking in the background as the deputies and Rachel move around the house. One particular instance is even accompanied by a Scare Chord and occurs just before Kelly finds Logan murdered. There's also a moment after the sheriff and the deputy make sure that the front door is locked. As they begin walking down the hall, the point of view abruptly moves away behind a wall, strongly suggesting that he was standing there watching. |

Vigilante Militia: The local bartender and a dozen or so of his customers appoint themselves as one of these when they drive to investigate a blackout and find that the titular serial killer has killed most of the sheriff's department. On one hand, they accidentally kill an innocent man they think is Michael, but on the other hand, they do try to evacuate the main characters from the danger zone, and some of the surviving members help gun down Michael at the end. |

Furthermore, the mask on the cover/poster is the original film's mask and not even close to the laughable replacement mask used in this film. |

It isn't until the EMTs start talking about his niece that he clenches his fist in rage and he springs to life. One can only wonder if he'd stayed comatose if he'd never heard about Jamie at all. |

Subverted with Brady himself, as he cheats on Rachel with Kelly just because she's forced to cancel their date to babysit, despite how badly she didn't want to and tried to get out of having to do it, but he does manage to redeem himself in the end by giving his life to protect Rachel and Jamie. Al, the redneck who has his group kill an innocent man he stupidly assumes to be Michael, can also count. |

Foreshadowing: Reverend Sayer tells Loomis "You can't kill damnation, Mister. It don't die like a man dies!" Even after Michael is seemingly killed, his evil lives on, as Jamie attacks her foster mother, just as Michael had murdered his sister. After picking out her clown costume, Jamie sees a vision of a young Michael holding a bloody knife, which foreshadows the grown Michael's imminent appearance and Jamie's own actions at the end of the film. |

RetCon |
| Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers / int_b2279346 |
comment |
Retcon: This film retcons Michael's and Loomis's deaths at the end of Halloween II, the film that was supposed to end the Michael Myers story for good by killing off both the antagonist and the antagonist's foil. Loomis is an especially poor example since he was at the epicenter of the explosion that was intended to have killed off both characters and apparently managed to survive with nothing more than one side of facial burning, an unspecified amount of body burning where we only see a burnt hand and a limp. At least Michael seems to be severely burned from head to toe and rendered comatose by the event, but how he's able to see after Laurie rendered him blind by shooting out both of his eyes isn't explained. |

comment |
Sadist: Some of Michael's actions indicate sadism. A prime example of this is Kelly's death. He continually rocks back and forth in the chair just as the deputy did, while Kelly brings the deputy coffee, and it's only when she realizes that Logan is dead and it must be someone else in the chair that Michael then gets up to kill her. He similarly takes his time with Brady, preferring to see Brady try to fight back against him with his shotgun and later fisticuffs, and dragging out the kill as a form of mockery. This comes to bite him later on, as it costs him valuable time to get to Jamie and Rachel. |

What the Hell, Hero?: After Loomis riles a group of truckers into becoming a lynch mob against Michael, Sheriff Meeker calls him out on it. Loomis, however, turns the tables by pointing out that the police force is dead and the truckers may be the only defense the town has against Michael. This turns out to be wrong as several of the truckers themselves get killed by him after accidentally killing a bystander on the streets themselves, and diverting Sheriff Meeker when he really would have come in handy guarding Jamie. |

Recruit the Muggles: When several trucks full of bar patrons drive up to the police station to investigate the blackout (caused by Michael's spree-killing rampage), Big Good Dr. Loomis tells them what is happening and encourages them to try to find and kill Michael before he can hurt anyone else. They are useful during a couple of moments but some of them kill an innocent local during a moment of panic. |

Unexplained Recovery: Dr. Loomis managed to survive the explosion of the first floor of a hospital in Halloween II (1981), returning with only a half-burnt face, a limp, and a mangled hand. The same goes for Michael, seeing as before the explosion, he got shot in the eyes by Laurie, causing him to become blind. Likewise, he has no trouble moving around despite him being comatose for 10 years; one would probably have some form of muscular atrophy. The muscular atrophy is actually lampshaded by Hoffman, but as Loomis states, Michael isn't exactly human... |

Pet the Dog: Kelly has a few of these. When Jamie has a freak-out at the store after seeing Michael with a bloody knife, she's among those who hurry over to see what's wrong, and later she brings Logan some coffee at his guard post. She also answers the door for trick-or-treaters. |
