terrible mask and terrible film
Can't believe the hype this one gets. A real turd.
shareIt hasn't aged well, I'll admit that. But at the time, 1988. Right after the failure of III people wanted Michael back no matter how they got him. It was a sign of the times. A new generation, like myself got to see Michael on the big screen for the first time. It was a "comeback". Now with so many movies after it, that lessened it's impact. I always thought of it as a Lifetime movie. But to be fair, again, it was a product of the late 80s horror. Before the teeny bopper 90s films changed the game. Also, different creative forces, it's not a Carpenter-Hill film. Writer's strike didn't help. Anniversary didn't help. But all in all, not a turd, but a decent B flick for what it was.

You failed to mention that Myers was burnt to a crisp in part 2. So did Loomis.
shareLoomis is a little harder to get around, but people have survived burns,.explosions and fires before. Besides, it's a horror movie. Suspension of disbelief is a must. As for Myers, come on, really? He's not a man, he's not human. He's more than that. Supernatural, super-human, whatever you want to call it, setting him on fire only slowed him down. Again, horror movie. Jason was dead, buried, then gets hit by lightning and gets re-animated. That's even worse than burns. Unstoppable killers are just that.
If you're going to start applying logic and reason to movies, especially horror movies, you're in for a major disappointment. Movies are meant to entertain, not make sense.
