Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers recap
Michael survives the shaft and is nursed for a year by a hermit, then wakes on Halloween 1989 and kills him. Jamie, mute since the stabbing, lives in a children's clinic and has a psychic link to Michael: she has seizures when he kills. He kills Rachel and goes after Jamie's friend Tina and others. Loomis, increasingly desperate, presses Jamie to help him find Michael. A mysterious man in black, with a tattoo on his wrist matching one Michael has, arrives in Haddonfield.
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers ending explained
Loomis uses Jamie as bait in the old Myers house. Michael chases her, and she pleads with him, calling him uncle; he removes his mask and sheds a tear, then attacks again. Loomis catches him in a net and beats him with a plank, then collapses. Michael is jailed, but the man in black attacks the police station, killing the officers and breaking him out. Jamie is left alone in a cell, screaming. The Curse of Michael Myers continues.
