Plot:
The film begins with a recap of Halloween 4 after Michael Myers (Don Shanks) fell down the mine shaft. The state troopers tossed dynamite down the mine to make sure that Michael was dead.
However, Michael somehow finds his way out and stumbles into a nearby river, where he is found by a local hermit. He collapses into a coma while in the hermit’s care and remains in a comatose state for a full year.
On October 30, 1989, Michael awakens, kills the hermit, and returns to terrorise Haddonfield, where his young niece, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), continues to live after nearly being killed by Michael the year before.
Jamie has been committed to a children’s psychiatric ward. She has also been rendered mute due to psychological trauma, but exhibits signs of a telepathic link with her evil uncle. Dr Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is aware of Jamie’s psychic link with her uncle and tries to convince Sheriff Ben Meeker (Beau Starr) that Michael Myers is alive.
Meanwhile, Michael kills Rachel (Ellie Cornell) with a pair of scissors and begins to stalk her friend, Tina (Wendy Kaplan), as well as her friends, Samantha (Tamara Glynn), Spitz (Matthew Walker) and her boyfriend Mike (Jonathan Chapin)…
