Halloween 4: The Return of Basic Cable

Michael Myers is back… on basic cable. The Rewind or Die crew dives headfirst into Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers — the slasher sequel that refuses to die, still plays on TV every October, and somehow feels like the coziest apocalypse ever filmed.

Adam, Jeff, and Steve break down the mask that looks like a haunted department store mannequin, Donald Pleasence’s all-caps performance art, and how this modest little sequel accidentally invented the modern “legacy reboot.” It’s horror comfort food — crispy, foggy, and slightly pink around the mask.

Topics include:

• Michael Myers: OSHA’s worst nightmare.

• The great Pink Mask disaster of 1988.

• Loomis: small-town prophet, large-caliber problem.

• The mob that couldn’t shoot straight.

• Why Halloween 4 is the VHS equivalent of pumpkin pie.

Evil never dies — it just gets a sponsorship from AMC.
