Halloween 4 & 5 – (Blu-Ray Reviews)

Available on Blu-Ray August 21st from Anchor Bay!

So, this is the first time I’m reviewing TWO Blu-Ray flicks back-to-back, because, well, they’re sequels…and they make a great double feature!

Let’s begin with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. WHY is it a ‘return’ for Michael Myers? Well, Let me explain; he wasn’t in Halloween III: Season of the Witch! In fact, Halloween III had nothing to do with Michael Myers, Laurie Strode, Dr. Loomis…or anything associated with the first two horror blockbusters at all! You see, the filmmakers wanted to make different Halloween themed movies for each Halloween sequel, and Michael’s story was to have ended in Part II, which completely confused Michael’s fans. Well, we all know how that turned out, and now Season of the Witch is the bastard child of an otherwise successful Horror franchise…so, Michael is back!
