We're celebrating the holiday with yet another film in the Halloween franchise—Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers! With the poor reception of Halloween III: Season of the Witch diminishing any chances of John Carpenter and Debra Hill turning the series into an anthology, Michael Myers was brought back. Although met with mostly reviews, this sequel would launch the "Thorn Trilogy" and develop a strong cult following. So how does it measure up to the other Halloween films we've discussed on the podcast? Find out now, and stay safe tonight, y'all!
