Plot Summary:

    Two decades after surviving a massacre on October 31, 1978, former baby sitter Laurie Strode finds herself hunted by persistent knife-wielder Michael Myers. Laurie now lives in Northern California under an assumed name, where she works as the headmistress of a private school. But it's not far enough to escape Myers, who soon discovers her whereabouts. As Halloween descends upon Laurie's peaceful community, a feeling of dread weighs upon her -- with good reason.

ASH's Review:

    This, in my book, is the third film of a trilogy. Forget all about 3,4,5 & 6 (as it appears that is what this film does) and you'll have no problem with this, the second best of the series. It's a pleasure to have a more mature Laurie Strode on hand to actually face off with Michael and finish him off (once and for all???) This is it. Definitely a buyer.

Quotes:

  • Sarah: Okay Charlie, no sex kinks till I've eaten.
     
  • Tony: Hasn't anyone ever told you that second-hand smoke kills?
    Nurse Marion: Yeah, but they're all dead.
     
  • Will: What should I do?
    Keri: Try to live.
     
  • Norma: Oh! Miss Tate! I didn't mean to make you jump. It's Halloween! I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare.
    Keri: I've had my share.
     
  • John: It just occured to me today that I've never celebrated Halloween before.
    Molly: And why's that?
    John: Oh, we've got a psychotic serial killer in the family who loves to butcher people on Halloween, and I just thought it in bad taste to celebrate.
