"It's has been six years since the Haddonfield last celebrated Halloween, but the curse of Michael Myers still lingers. Six years earlier, Michael Myers, his niece Jamie, and the "Man in Black" disappeared after the explosive ending of Part 5. Presumed dead, the story begins with Jamie giving birth to Michael's child. With a little help, Jamie is able to escape with her newborn and the nightmare begins again. As she is heading back to Haddonfield, but Michael catches up and kills her, but not before she gets out a warning over the radio to Dr. Loomis. But what about the baby???
It seems a now grown Tommy Doyle (Paul Rudd) was also listen that night and he knows that Michael's coming home. Tommy never really got over his first experience with Michael (he was the little boy Laurie Strode was babysitting) and now is obsessed with him. He heads out searching for the baby and when he finds it, he contacts Dr. Loomis and tells him that he knows how to kill Michael.
At the same time, the family that adopted Laurie Strode have moved back into the Myers' house. The illegitimate some of the female lead, Kara Strode (Marianne Hagan), begins to hear voices that tell him to kill his family. Guess who's room he shares in his new house??? You guessed Michael's. One by one, Michael starts to take out his relatives (the Strode) as he hunts down his newborn son.
As the story concludes, we find out that Michael's curse goes much deeper than simple psychotic behavior. The whole "Curse of Thorn" was an interesting idea... but I only wish that they could have delved into a few sequels earlier. Smith's Grove sanitarium seems to be serving as the breeding ground for "pure evil". This was Donald Pleasence last film and may be the main reason for the change from the original ending of this film. Donald Pleasence is as much a part of the "Halloween" legacy as John Carpenter and Michael Myers are. I can’t even imagine anyone else playing the part of Dr. Samuel Loomis. Donald you will always live in our hearts. In Loving Memory of Donald Pleasence (1919-1995) Overall, this is probably one of my favorite "Halloween" films. I am in the process of securing a copy of the "Producer Cut" which is supposedly a totally different film. I will report back on it at a later date".
