* The scene where Michael kills the deputy in the Myers house. Deputy Charlie does his best to get her out of the house, but he makes a mistake in having her climb onto his back to take her out a second-story window instead of having her climb down the rope herself or lower her on it. He can't get out the window because it's too bulky to take her out that way. The scene grows more and more tense as Michael storms the room the two are trapped in with no escape, Jamie screaming all the while, as creepy music plays in the background. After he wastes all his bullets on an unstoppable Michael, Jamie runs out of the room in a panic. Before following her, Michael wraps the rope around Charlie's neck and shoves him out the window. Because of the angle at which he goes out, there's no instant neck snap as with a proper hanging. The truly disturbing part is that the camera lingers on him twitching there in midair as he claws desperately at the rope, trying to get it off his neck as his struggles become weaker and weaker, until he finally succumbs to the strangulation. His body is left hanging there eerily outside the house like a warning of what Michael is capable of doing even when he doesn't use a knife.

* Rachel's death, in general, is this, as she only has a second to realize that she's about to die, her eyes opening wide in horror after she sees Jamie's smashed picture before she looks back to see Michael jumping at her with a pair of scissors, a truly horrific end to one of the most capable yet kind-hearted characters in the series.



* Loomis using Jamie as bait and seeming to undergo a MoralEventHorizon is unnerving as he seems to be losing any sanity he has left and offering up Jamie to a slowly approaching Michael as the poor girl is terrified out of her mind. Thankfully Loomis never intended to give Jamie to Michael and instead lures Michael into a trap but even so, this is easily Loomis's darkest moment in the series and the closest he ever gets to reaching Michael's level of bad.

* Despite the {{Narm}} factor of the teens playing with the kittens in the barn, Michael lurking in the background, clearly biding his time before he strikes, is thoroughly chilling.

* Say what you will about Tina, but the scene where she gets in the car thinking it's her ''boyfriend'' Michael and not the Michael we're all familiar with is nerve-wracking, especially since he's wearing a mask that manages to be somehow creepier than his trademark white Captain Kirk mask and is getting visibly angry. Even scarier is that, given her boyfriend Michael's HairTriggerTemper, Tina probably would have had no way of knowing that it ''wasn't'' him.

** What's worse is that Danielle Harris was in actually danger in that scene. She was being stabbed at with an ''actual'' knife.

* The way Michael just slowly advances on poor Jamie with his knife in the dark foggy forest as she crawls away crying in fear. The whole scene where Jamie can do nothing but just ''scream'' helplessly as her murderous uncle stalks towards her is absolutely bloodcurdling.

* The way the film harkens back to the original film by having Michael drifting silently in the background in some scenes is rather effective. Most notably when Loomis is searching the Myers house near the end of the film and Michael just slowly slides into frame from a dark doorway ''right behind the man''.
