Opinions were divided when this 80s horror flick sequel hit theaters, but the franchise demonstrated its unyielding commitment to advancing its storyline. While some fans appreciated the added complexity given to the unstoppable masked killer, others longed for the simplicity that made the original movie a timeless classic. As we witness the return of the mystifying Michael Myers, we are reminded of his baffling resilience, having survived his supposed final confrontation in the previous flick. The Halloween season is once again plunged into terror as “The Shape” unleashes his wrath. But this time, a mysterious and supernatural connection emerges between him and his young niece, Jamie Lloyd, adding layers to the horror as familial ties intertwine with the supernatural. So, brace yourself as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Charlie Cotter and Laramy Wells, once again return to the haunted Haddonfield, Illinois to discuss “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers” from (1989) on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.
