Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers (1989)
A year after the events of the last movie, it’s revealed that the indestructible Michael (Don Shanks) escaped the mine and fell into another coma. He awakens, of course, just in time for Halloween and once again tracks down his niece.
Jamie has since been committed to a children’s hospital, having been rendered mute by the psychological trauma of Michael’s attacks. It also seems that she shares a telepathic link with her uncle, as suggested by her assault on her foster mother in the previous movie. In one brief moment, their connection allows her to bring out Michael’s last shred of humanity, as Jamie is able to momentarily calm him and get him to remove his mask – however, a touch to his face starts him off again.
Dr. Loomis and the police manage to create a trap for Michael at his old childhood home. In the throws of his victory, Loomis keels over as he suffers a stroke. Once transported to a cell, it seems Michael has been caged for good. However, the movie ends on an intriguing cliffhanger, as a mysterious black-clad figure wipes out the police station and frees the killer.
