One of the best sequels to Halloween

Halloween 5 is slightly better than Halloween 4 in the fact that we see a bit more of Micheal and we get a few more gory killing scenes like with the scissors.

The movie uses some more creepy scenes like in the barn house and the Myers house, it may not look the same as the first but it's still creepy.

The other scene is the car chase where Micheal is driving after Jamie with the theme music playing that always creeps me out.

The Man in Black was another interesting character but sadly we don't enough of him or learn his story until Halloween 6 when his character is revealed, also that symbol that is on Micheal and the Man In Black is also revealed in part 6.

A good sequel to the Halloween franchise.
