History YMMV / HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers

* CompleteMonster: In the theatrical cut, [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Terrence Wynn]] is revealed to be as monstrous as Michael himself. Wynn uses the ancient {{Cult}} of Thorn as a front for his experiments, using Michael's DNA to create evil in its purest form by impregnating female patients of Smith's Grove Sanitarium with Michael's DNA, most resulting in stillbirths. It is also discovered Wynn helped mentor Michael into being the killer he is today, and helped him escape in the [[Film/{{Halloween 1978}} first movie]]. In the [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers previous movie]], Wynn followed Michael in his killing spree, and [[CopKiller blew up a police station]] before abducting Michael's niece Jamie and escaping with Michael. After Jamie successfully births a new baby, Steven, Wynn plans on making Steven the next cycle of evil, and even forms a fascination with Danny Strode, trying to get him to become a killer too.

* {{Sequelitis}}: This film's critical reception is the worst in the entire ''Halloween'' franchise, with a mere 6% on RottenTomatoes, a huge fall from grace from the [[Film/{{Halloween 1978}} original film]]'s 94%. By this point in the series, the story had strayed pretty far from the original film, which was praised for its simple story and its slow building of suspense. This film, on the other hand, was criticized for having a very messy, convoluted story, with some calling the finished film incomprehensible (although that's mostly blamed on ExecutiveMeddling). It's no wonder the [[Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater next film]] was a partial reboot. However some fans consider ''Film/HalloweenResurrection'' to be the worst in the series, and ''Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers'' not far behind.

** This doctors death, whose head was thrust and grated through a gate door as Michael tries to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ2Wu1tgoWA break through the barrier.]]

* Nightmare Fuel: the operating room massacre towards the climax of the film and John Strode's excruciating death by electrocution.

* HilariousInHindsight: A caller on the Barry Sims show has a discussion that ends in Barry mocking the idea of "Michael Myers in Space." A few years later and, while this isn't a Michael Myers movie, Jason Voorhees gets sent into space AND the future in ''Film/JasonX''. Seems someone took the idea of a serial killer in outer space seriously.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/PaulRudd appears in one of his first films.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: At least, over the previous film...although to the fans, that may not being saying much.
* TheWoobie: Jamie Lloyd as in the last two movies, her baby, Kara and Danny Strode, and Kara's mother Debra. [[spoiler: Especially Debra and ESPECIALLY Jamie, who is finally killed off.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The lead pipe wielding Tommy Doyle begins beating the crap out of Michael in a scene involving a near seizure inducing strobe light effect. Tommy hits Michael over and over again, eventually causing some kind of viscous green slime to begin oozing out of Michael's mask. Later, when Michael's mask is found abandoned, its completely clean, with no weird sludge coating it.

** Even worse, according to George Wilbur, who played the Shape, there was an actual "love scene" [his words, not ours] shot, but that he "kept the mask on." There's a damned good thing this didn't even make it into the Producer's Cut.
