Halloween 5 goes with 4 like 2 goes with 1. It’s just that the latter set, while easily superior to the abysmal departure of 3, is markedly worse than the former.
What started as a simple Bogeyman story is now a conceptual mess. Michael Myers, still on the hunt for Jamie, suddenly communicates via telepathy.

![video review : Halloween 4 [ The Return Of Michael Myers ]](https://marcellee.com/posts/76912.jpg)
Letting the world know in the subtitle that Michael Myers is back has more to do with marketing than the art of storytelling. Halloween 3 is a travesty to the series. 4 attempts a turn around. While it is better than Season Of The Witch, it’s a feeble effort.
The Return Of Michael Myers, which has the Evil killer going after Laurie Strode’s daughter; the child’s mother and father are apparently dead; comes across like a cheap made-for-TV knockoff. Even Michael’s mask is less menacing this time around.
