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.
     
  • Ronny: Has anyone ever told you second-hand smoke kills?
    Nurse Marion: Yes, but they're all dead.
     
  • Jimmy Howell: Jimmy's been suspended five times this year all ready for gettin' a little crazy with the stick!
     
  • John: Because today is the day. I can feel it. Today is the day you are going to realize that I am seventeen years old and your overprotection and paranoia is inhibiting my growing process.
     
  • Keri: My brother killed my sister.
    Will: How did he do that?
    Keri: With a really big, sharp kitchen knife.
