Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers Page #2

Synopsis: It's October 30, 1988 and Michael Myers has been in a coma since his pursuit of Laurie Strode, 10 years ago, was finally stopped (events of H1 and H2). However when he is transfered from Richmond Mental Institute to Smith's Grove he awakes when he hears that he has a niece in Haddonfield and after killing the transfer crew he escapes. In Haddonfield, the niece, Jamie, has been adopted by the Carruthers family but keeps having nightmares about Michael (but she doesn't know who he is). On Halloween night, Jamie goes out trick and treating, little knowing that her murdering Uncle is following her and her step-sister Rachel. Rushing to her aid is Dr. Loomis and with the help of Sheriff Meeker starts to search the town for Michael and to find Jamie to protect her. But can anything stop Michael this time?

a federal prisoner. Therefore he's subject to federal law.

We're not talking about any ordinary prisoner, Hoffman.

We are talking about an evil on two legs.

I can see this is useless.

Do you know what today is?

Do you know the date?

Every day I look at myself in the mirror and ...

And every day I remember.

Look at me ... Hoffman!

Take a good look!

I don't want anyone to have to live

through that night again.

I've said this before.

I think you're the one who needs mental help.

Yes? Dr. Hoffman.

I see.

I see. Thank you.

Apparently there was an accident

just south of Mill Creek near the bri ... Loomis?

Loomis!

Is that it?

Yes.

- When did this happen?

Sometime in the night. They probably lost the road

in the storm. Come down the embankment. It happens.

An accident?

- Yes, sir.

- Do you believe that?

Why shouldn't I?

How many people in the bus?

Four ... plus Myers.

How many bodies did you find?

- It's hard to tell, they're all chewed up.

Loomis?

It's over. Leave it alone.

He's gone.

He was here ...

... but he's gone.

Did you find any other bodies?

Not yet. There's a lot of ground to cover.

- You won't find him.

He's done all this.

Now he's escaped.

- You don't know that.

Michael could've been thrown from the bus.

I've seen bodies thrown 50 - 60 feet from a crash site.

Even if by some miracle Michael's conscious ...

his ... his muscles would be totally useless.

Give the troopers a chance to search.

You're talking about him as if he were a human being.

That part of him died years ago.

Now where are you going?

Haddonfield.

It's a four hour drive.

You can reach me through the local police.

If you don't find him in four hours ...

I'm sure I will.

Hey Gar. How 'bout a 9/16 socket over here?

Hey! Hey there!

Hello!

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Hello?

Hello!

Is anybody here?

God in heaven.

Michael?

Why now?

You waited ten years.

I knew this day would come.

Don't go to Haddonfield.

If you want another victim, take me.

But leave those people in peace.

Please ...

Michael.

Goddamn you.

Michael!

Hey Jamie!

Where's your costume?

Where's your mask? Or are you wearing it?

- I don't need to wear a stupid costume!

That's because every day is Halloween at Jamie's house.

Right, Jamie? - 'Cause your uncle's the boogeyman.

Boogeyman! Boogeyman!

Jamie's uncle's the boogeyman!

How come your mommy

didn't make you a costume, Jamie?

- How could she? Her mommy's dead.

Jamie's mommy's ... a mummy!

Stop it! Okay?

Stop it!

Jamie's an orphan! Jamie's an orphan!

- Stop it! Please, stop it!

Jamie's an orphan! Jamie's an orphan!

Jamie's uncle's the boogeyman!

Jamie's an orphan!

Every day is Halloween at Jamie's house.
