Slicker than crude oil and just as unattractive.

Run-of-the-mill horror item is notable only for final appearance of the late Donald Pleasance

Although the series has obviously run out of steam, the ending leaves the door open for Michael's return. Really, it's about time the masks were removed once and for and all.

'Enough of this Michael Myers B.S.!,' says a disgruntled Haddonfielder, as news spreads of the returning native son. Dream on.
