After 'Halloween III: Season Of The Witch' took a sharp left turn that damaged the legendary h*rr*r franchise nearly beyond repair, it was clear to the studio what needed to be done: The Return of Michael Myers. Over the next eight years, Halloween 4, 5 and 6 would create a brand new mythology for our beloved Shape, known today as 'The Thorn Trilogy.' Series staples like John Carpenter, Debra Hill and Jamie Lee Curtis had all exited the franchise, and under nearly a dozen new writers, directors and studios, Halloween was about to undergo a massive shift.

Could Michael Myers be brought back in a way that audiences would accept? Would Danielle Harris' new character, Jamie Lloyd, be eaten alive by bloodthirsty moviegoers? Is it even possible to give the answers to the looming questions surrounding Michael Myers and his evil ways without completely ruining his mystique? We'll cover all that and more right here in 'The History Of Halloween Part III - The Thorn Trilogy.'
