Quick delivery Read more

I'm a big fan of the Halloween films, even the later no-so-good ones. I love Michael Myers as a villian, who really set the standard for slasher flicks. Halloween IV and V continue the battle between Dr. Loomis and Michael, and Michael's obsession with killing his family, in this case, his niece. As you might imagine, Michael terrorizes the town of Haddonfield in both films, killing people left and right and stalking his victims, inspiring the same dread as ever. Let's face it, either you like these sort of movies or you don't. If you do, this doublepack is great if you don't yet have these films. If you do have them, there isn't anything new on these films.

This double feature brings together what may well be the most successful attempts to bring the Michael Myers myth back to life. Released in 1988 and 1989 respectively, _Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers_ and _Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers_ take us back to the setting of the original _Halloween_ (1978) and its sequel (1981) after the enigmatic experiment that was _Halloween 3: Season of the Witch_ (1982), which, as you surely know, did not feature the masked killer. John Carpenter’s _Halloween_ spawned countless horror franchises, the Friday the 13th movies being the most immediate and most obvious example. As many fans discover, however, _Halloween_ is nowhere near as violent as the movies it inspired, nor is nudity as plentiful as in other franchises. _Halloween 2_ is the most violent installment of the original series (1 through 6). The two movies under consideration here do include a few violent scenes, but they are shocking mostly because they are isolated events. As director Othenin-Girard points out in one of the extra features, these films rely more on suspense than on horror. _Halloween 4_ is the one I favor personally. We are introduced to Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), Michael’s niece, the daughter of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from the first two movies. Now an orphan, Jamie lives with a foster couple, the Carruthers, who have a teenage daughter named Rachel (Ellie Cornell). The premise is easily summarized: Michael wants to kill Jamie, and Dr. Loomis (the immortal Donald Pleasence) tries to stop him. I really like the characters in this film. Jamie is not like the average kid in a horror movie; because Danielle Harris is such a great actress, you will find yourself rooting for her. Rachel is quite strong too: she confronts Michael and fights back. In a sense she is stronger, more of a heroine, than Laurie Strode in the first film, who spends most of the time screaming. It is difficult, however, to surpass an icon. Like its immediate sequel, _Halloween 4_ was shot in Utah, but the setting is the same as that of the first two movies, which were shot in California (as was the third film). These are the streets of a typical American middle class neighborhood. The horror is literally close to home. _Halloween 5_ also features Jamie and Rachel, but their roles are different here. As the story begins, Jamie is in a clinic, recovering from the traumatic events of the previous film. She is telepathically linked to Michael, but she has virtually lost the ability to speak, so at least initially she is not much help to Loomis and the authorities. Rachel has also lost the power she had in the previous film. (That’s all I’m going to say.) Like _Halloween 4_, this movie features three or four brainless teenagers who get killed. The most important character other than the ones already mentioned is probably Tina (Wendy Kaplan), a friend of Rachel’s who is close to Jamie. Beyond plot and characters, one aspect about _Halloween 5_ that will surely grab your attention is the cinematography, which was done by Robert Draper. You will see some interesting camera angles (extremely low ones, for instance), lots of eerie close-ups, and truly effective use of hand-held cameras. In this aspect, this installment of the franchise stands out. As I pointed out, I believe _Halloween 4_ is the superior movie, but I have a personal anecdote I would like to share concerning _Halloween 5_, which is one of the most influential films I’ve seen. It’s not one of my favorite films, but it had an impact on me because it was the first horror film I ever saw. Here’s the punch line: I saw it in school, when I was in the 12th grade. The school year was almost over, and the teacher asked us what movie we wanted to watch. We said, “A horror movie!” We were probably joking, but she went and rented this one for us. I still remember all of us sitting in the classroom with our eyes glued to the screen. How is this possible, you may be wondering? This happened in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The year was 1994. At one point, something fascinating (in retrospect) occurred: when it was obvious that a sex scene was going to take place, the teacher got up and fast forwarded that part. Puritanism is not a thing in Argentina, but I have always found it baffling that nobody cared about us seeing people getting killed in all sorts of horrible ways, but a love scene… no, that was too much… This is a great double feature that pairs two good films that are thematically, aesthetically, and narratively linked. These are sister films, and they are closer than any other two films in this franchise. The movie that came after them, as you may have heard, was a production nightmare, a film that has been repeatedly described as incoherent. I have not seen the films that came after it. _Halloween 4_ and _Halloween 5_ are not perfect. They are not as effective as the original _Halloween_, which is a true landmark of horror. These two films, however, are fun to watch, and they feature the most memorable character in the franchise after Laurie Strode. Some of the extras included are: * Audio commentaries featuring Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris (for both 4 and 5), Alan B. McElroy (writer of 4), and Dominique Othenin-Girard and actor Jeffrey Landman (for 5). * A discussion panel for the two films featuring Danielle Harris, Kathleen Kinmont, Jeffrey Landman, and Sasha Jenson. This was my favorite extra feature. Most of the questions, incidentally, are for Harris. * On-set footage from _Halloween 5_. * Two making-of documentaries, one for each film. I started watching the Halloween films this past Halloween, which I knew was going to be a strange one due to the ongoing pandemic. No one knocked on my door, and there were few decorations in my neighborhood, but revisiting these films has helped me experience at least some kind of Halloween spirit. Next on my watch list: _Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers_. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the films! Read more

This is a great set for the price, both movies have bare bones special features but thats okay. I still really like the behind the scenes stuff on 5 and the H4+5 panel on the Halloween 4 DVD. It stinks that 5 wasnt as good as 4 was but it all could have been made up for if 6 had been good, but alas it just wasnt. This set is definitely worth what you pay for, and most importantly this one isnt a flip disk! Read more

Halloween is my favorite horror franchise of all time. With the biggest baddie to ever grace the silver screen Michael Myers. And featuring one of my favorite characters of the series Jamie Lloyd. Return & revenge are not the most beloved of the series but they are fun to watch around October time. Besides it's not Halolloween without the shape. Read more
