Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers Page #4

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?

Sometimes we need help getting where we wanna be.

Reverend Jackson Pete Sayer of Dumont county.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

How far you're going, Mr. Sayer?

God's country, Promised Land.

Where you heading, Mr. ... ah

Loomis.

Haddonfield.

Car trouble?

Sort of.

You're hunting it, ain't ya?

Yeah, you're hunting it, all right.

Just like me.

What are you hunting, Mr. Sayer?

Apocalypse, end of the world. Armageddon.

It's always got a face and a name.

I've been hunting the bastard for 30 years, give or take.

Come close a time or two.

Too damn close!

You can't kill damnation, mister.

It don't die like a man dies.

I know that, Mr. Sayer.

Oh, you're a pilgrim, all right!

I saw it on your face

back there in the dust.

I saw it clear as breasts and blue suede shoes.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, we'll gather at the river

The beautiful, beautiful river

Gather with the saints at the river

Okay Jamie, we're leaving.

Where's Rach?

- I don't know.

Here I am.

Come on, hon.

How do we look?

You guys always look great.

We'll be at the Fallbrooks.

The number's next to the phone. I know, and next to that

is Police, hospital, fire and probably the National Guard.

I want you two to have fun tonight.

Make sure Jamie's in bed by 9:30.

You're gonna be late.

You don't wanna blow your promotion.

Don't make fun. Tonight is the difference

between vacations in Bermuda ...

... or spending another two weeks

with your grandmother in Cleveland. So hurry up.

Bye.

See ya.

- Good luck, dad.

Rachel?... Can I get my costume on?

- Yeah. Hurry up.

Okay.

Is Brady there?

He's not back from work yet?

Okay.

Well, when he comes in, could you tell him

to drop by about eight? I should be home by then.

This is Rachel.

Okay.

Bye.

Come on, Jamie.

You're gonna miss all the good candy.

Come on, Jamie!

Come on, Rachel!

Coming.

I thought you said you were ready.

- I'm ready! I'm ready!

Okay, let's go.

Ah, I need to speak with Sheriff Brackett.

Then you'll have to travel

about 3,000 miles south of here.

What?

Brackett retired. Back in '81.

He moved to St. Petersburg.

Oh, Well, who's the new Sheriff?

- I am.

Ben Meeker.

Oh, Sheriff Meeker ...

my name is Dr. ...

- Loomis.

Folks around here aren't

likely to forget your face.

At least not cops.

So, what brings you back here after ten years?

Michael Myers ... has escaped from Ridgemont.

He's here in Haddonfield.

That's impossible. Michael Myers is an invalid.

- He's here, Sheriff.

Why?

Ten years ago ...

He tried to kill Laurie Strode.

Now he wants her daughter.

Are you talking about Jamie Lloyd?

- Wherever she is, that little child is in mortal danger.
