Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDonald Pleasence was very vocal about his dissatisfaction with the story and with the way director Dominique Othenin - Girard was trying to get him to play Dr Loomis as totally heavy and overbearing. Pleasence also felt that the box office success and the shock ending of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) was not being capitalised upon.
- GoofsWe see the police, along with Jamie and Dr. Loomis, set up a stakeout at Michael Myers's house. But a few scenes later, we see that Michael Myers has an attic full of dead bodies. Why didn't the police find these when they searched the attic before the stakeout?
There is no indication that the police, or anyone else, searched the attic prior to setting up the stakeout.
- Alternate versionsThe shot of Mikey (Jonathan Chapin) quivering on the ground was shortened to avoid an "X" rating. You can still notice the abrupt jump in the shot before he is dragged away by Michael.

Featured review
Halloween 5 was a step down compared to others. A better director probally would have done better with the script, which wasn't that bad.
Donald Pleasence again trys to put away Michael Myers, but this time takes a swat team into the Myers house with him. Well of course they are no match for Myers, but Loomis does manage to capture Myers in chains and beat him to a pulp.
Good performances, but badly filmed. It looks like a made for cable movie.
