The Halloween movie franchise currently sits at a whopping thirteen movies. At this point, it’s clear that Michael Myers will never truly be gone. At one point, however, it seemed that way – until the sequel Halloween 4 gave us The Return of Michael Myers. This particular subtitle is quite meaningful. It not only emphasizes that Michael is back after having supposedly died in Halloween II, but it’s a return for the character after Halloween III: Season of the Witch took a wildly different direction. As such, fans were treated to a wonderful return, one that remains a fan-favorite sequel…
