*Some plot giveaways will be revealed in this review, but nothing too crucial. You've been warned!*
As a little boy, Michael Myers one Halloween night snaps in his thinking and knifes his babysitter to death. Not wanting to introduce the young psychopath to potential influential killers in prison, he is wisked away instead to the local looney farm to work out his anger issues. Dr. Loomis takes the task of changing the young lad around only to prove fruitless as Mikey grows into adulthood. In fact, he's nuttier than ever.
Several days before another Halloween evening, Mikey somehow escapes from his padded white room. Perhaps a a drunken guard jingling keys to his cell in his face taunting "Nyah Nyah!"? Was the Grasshopper indeed to quick for the Master? Either way, he's out. Sucks for his older sister Laurie whom Michael seems hell bent on murdering for no damn good reason.
Michael decides it would be nifty to wear a stylish authentic "William Shatner" mask, quite popular with the local girls on Halloween whom can live out their secret desire to be in his presense (kinda anyway). He then decides to take full advantage of the absence of any "No Stalking" laws and follow his sister and her pals around town without fear of possible arrest. Feeling every bit of the rebel he in famous for, he decides despite never haven driven a car in his life, he will cruise on wheels and not on foot in a "Chick Box" (or van, popular shag wagon in the 70's, kids). Fully aware he holds no driver's license, Mikey cares not for a task is at hand, "Me kill, you die".
His sister suspects some kook is following her and opposed to informing a policeman she does the next best thing, babysits a young boy all alone in a dark house on Halloween night. During his time of perfecting Stalking 101, Dr. Loomis is hot on his trail in his zany paranoid itchy trigger sorta way. The local cops assisting him in the manhunt appear to often wonder if they should arrest the Doctor himself who appears to be deprived of sleep and logical thinking. The settle instead for Mikey.
Mikey, although clueless to the outside world, seems pretty hip to things you'd think an insane killer whose been locked in one room for nearly all his life wouldn't even know. Again, I mentioned the instant ability to drive a car. Then there's the fact he's not forgotten how to get around his town and navigate to and fro with ease. He also possesses the amazing ability to catch up quickly with others running at top speed despite walking as if he has a touch of Frankenstienitis.
I like the film. Sure it leaves me guessing at times and filling in a few holes on my own, but ya gotta admire a guy who can take a screwdriver in the eye and not even so much as whimper!
