Trivia:
Originally, when Jamie and Loomis were trapped in the school, Jamie hid in a classroom under a desk. Michael entered searching for her, throwing the desks over. Although they had no time to film this in Halloween 4, the sequence was remembered by Moustapha Akkad and later re-used in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998).

Goofs:
Continuity: The burn scars on Dr. Lommis' face change periodically throughout the movie. There is a dramatic change from when he is riding in the truck with the preacher on his way to Haddonfield compared to when he arrives and comes into the police station.

Well after that disgusting piece of filth called Halloween 3...we go back to the original story of Michael Myers and Haddonfield.
Halloween 4 really took a step forward....and it scared me. the acting with "Most" actors was good, Donald Pleasence as Dr Loomis was perfect as usual and Danielle Harris as Michael's Niece Jamie was very good and Ellie Cornell as Rachael Corruthers was also very good.
They Original score was good but i believe i think they re-did it...Michael also did some good stylish murders in this one the only thing that disappointed me was the mask probably my least favorite mask in the series. Halloween 4 is worth watching so either buy it or rent it....now! Halloween 4 Is my fourth Favourite Halloween Film
