    13 years after I starred in it, and even I don't think it's all that great. But we tried!

    ★★★½

    The "punk" version of the first film. Director Mary Lambert and writer Richard Outten were allowed to be unleashed from the mythology of the first film and do their own thing, and it is splendid. I'm kinda miffed that the Scream Factory SE wasn't able to include interviews with Clancy Brown or Anthony Edwards, but Edward Furlong behaving twitchy and grasping his lighter while rambling, I'll take it.

    Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers

    ★★★½

    A commendable sequel, mostly because the chemistry between Harris and Cornell is really solid, the film is tightly edited (at 88 minutes, it's lean and appropriately mean) and it still holds up well. There's two moments early on that are quickly ignored. First, when "Rachel" tells Jamie that her mother used to babysit her, I really wished that "Rachel" was "Lindsey" from the first film. Weirdly, a character named "Lindsey" gives the tow leads a ride and nothing is said…
