Ten years ago, he changed the face of Halloween. Tonight, he's back. Following the bold detour of Halloween III: Season of the Witch, producer Moustapha Akkhad was keen to bring the series back to its roots, resurrecting the iconic figure of Michael Myers to terrorise a fresh cast of defenceless victims. Helmed by director Dwight H. Little (1989's The Phantom of the Opera), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers would cement Michael alongside Freddy and Jason as icons of the horror genre. A decade after narrowly surviving a fiery hospital explosion, Michael Myers awakens from a coma with one grisly purpose: to hunt down his young niece, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead). As Halloween night descends on Haddonfield once again, Dr Loomis (Donald Pleasence, The Great Escape) - scarred in both body and mind - races to stop his lifelong nemesis before it's too late. A box office smash that defined the series' direction going forward, Halloween 4 steered the franchise back to its chilling roots while launching it into a new era. Brutal, suspenseful and charged with autumnal dread, this entry serves as a crucial entry in the saga.
