Don't miss THE STORY OF HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1989): The Story of Halloween 5: The Revenge of M...

I tell the story behind arguably the weirdest (okay, not counting Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" here) and most complicated films in the "Halloween" franchise: 1995's "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers". I delve deep into this sixth installment's troubled production and bitter legacy. Directed by Joe Chappelle. Starring: Donald Pleasence, Paul Rudd, Marianne Hagan, Mitchell Ryan, J.C. Brandy, George P. Wilbur and Michael A. Lerner.

I had H6 tapped on a VHS and watched it so much as a kid. H4,H5,H6 all have a special place in my childhood

That segment on Danielle Harris' trials to get the role back sounds creepy.

All I'm going to say is I would rather face both Michael Myer's from Halloween 4 and 5 before having to face this version from Halloween 6. This guy was fucking brutal...

When you show the VHS boxes I’m hit with so much nostalgia. Fees like just yesterday I’d be in Blockbuster looking at those...🤩🤩

6:00 Laurie: "Was that the boogeyman?"
Dr. Loomis: "As a matter of fact, it was."

This is exactly what makes the 1978 original so iconic...one voice. One vision. One director.

Layton's 'story of' videos are better than some of the movies themselves

Probably my favorite myers mask after the original one & the 2018 mask.

It's shocking to me that the lady who played Mrs. Blankenship made her debut with Halloween 6, and at that age. It's never too late to take on something you love!

@wstine79 5 years ago

What's more scarier than Micheal Myers in this movie is the fact that Paul Rudd has barely aged since 1995.

I love that we are supposed to believe that 60 year old man who looks like a banker or CEO was wearing silver toed cowboy boots and rode on a Greyhound.

Loved Halloween 6. The last Halloween sequel I liked. At 38:50 was very sad and heartbreaking hearing Dr. Loomis/Donald Pleasance last words shortly before his passing. He was excellent in this film like the first 2 Halloweens. And such a class act. RIP Donald.

Halloween 6 made you feel stoned when you weren’t stoned. Made zero sense

I remember renting this at blockbuster. It’s honestly a guilty pleasure.

New Line came dangerously close to having the top 4 slashers under their belt (Jason, Freddy, Michael, Leatherface).

Hell, anyone else remember the Fangoria spread from 1989 depicting those 4 in a photoshoot? New Line almost owned that spread lol

I've liked Halloween 6 since I saw it in the theater when it was released. I have the theatrical version and the Producer's Cut on blu ray and enjoy rewatching both. This was an interesting look behind the scenes. Thanks for posting.

i like the mask in part 6 a lot. good shading in on the mask too with the light blues and greys. it's great how they tried to make it look like the covers of part 4 and 5. best idea.
