We're not talking about any ordinary prisoner, Hoffman! We are talking about evil on two legs.
~Dr. Loomis
The title wasn't just literal for the film, it was an announcement to those scared off by Halloween III. This is the sequel you wanted. Tom Atkins would not be returning. The only mask of importance would be that of the pale faced Shatner. And here it is, in time for the 10th anniversary of the original. The film plays as a loving tribute to Carpenter's classic while also carving its way as something of its own being. To make ties stronger with the first two, Donald Pleasence was also back to reprise his role of Michael's Van Helsing, Dr. Loomis. Halloween 4 would also return the series to its roots of being a full fledged independent film.
