Alright, I accidentally said that The Curse of Michael Myers was the next one. That is actually the 6th film. This is the fifth film, the Revenge of Michael Myers (going down the list of sequel titles) apparently.

Alright, so a few things about the opening:

  • The opening scene had this bizarre pirate mountain man who spoke with a parrot, and nursed Michael Myers back to health over a year- for some reason. I was honestly intrigued by his whole deal, but he was killed by Michael Myers before they could do anything with him.
  • Michael Myers is at a rare low point and might’ve died if not for this anonymous mountain man and his parrot.
  • They say it’s “Halloween Eve”. Which is weird, because Halloween is already an eve for something (Halloween originated as “All Hallow’s Eve”, which was meant to lead into “All Saints Day” (November 1st)
  • That was not the original opening. The mountain man was actually supposed to be an occult priest who literally brings Michael Myers back to life. Honestly, they should’ve stuck with that opening, because it makes most of the rest of the film make a little more sense, especially the symbol on his wrist and a man in black character who keeps recurring( I watched it before writing this and you can see here:
