In this movie, Jamie is impregnated by a crazy cult and, soon after delivering her son, is killed by the ruthless Michael (played once again by Wilbur, who played Michael in the forth film). A young man whom Laurie Strode used to babysit (played by Paul Rudd) finds and takes over care of the baby, and he teams up with Loomis to track down Michael once again. This movie also introduces the "Curse of Thorn," which is the source of Michael's immortality as well as his violence.
Despite a young Rudd in his first starring role, the sixth Halloween film performed nearly as poorly as the third. It marked Pleasence's last time playing Loomis; the actor tragically passed away before the film was released.
