'''''Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers''''' picks up right after the events of [[Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers the previous film]], where Michael ends up shot by Illinois state troopers and left for dead. Despite those efforts, Michael Myers lives -- and after a year of rest, he rises again to go after his traumatized niece Jamie (Creator/DanielleHarris) -- who now shares a eerie psychic link with Michael -- on Halloween, with Dr. Loomis (Creator/DonaldPleasence) once again in pursuit.

With the hermit in the foreground, an unmasked Michael, in the background, sits up. Even though he is in a dark corner, if you look closely you can see his face clear enough to see him glance at the hermit, then his mask which is hanging nearby.

* SeriesContinuityError: In the original ''Halloween'', the Myers house is a modest two-story home. By the time we get to this film, it's a huge, Gothic-style mansion. Then when we get to the next film, and it's back to being a typical two-story house--that still looks completely different from what we saw in the original film. At the time these movies were made, they were on the same continuity as the first one, so there's no excuse for the discrepancy.

* EnemyRisingBehind: Michael lurks ''right behind'' the oblivious Rachel... yet doesn't kill her. Not yet, anyway.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Michael chases the protagonists in a car. Even though the car is barely going at a running-pace, it still explodes when it collides with a tree. Though this ''does'' add to the creepy factor when Michael nonchalantly gets out of the car completely unscathed.
* EvilDetectingDog: Max.

* FinalGirl: Jamie.
* GenkiGirl: Tina.

* HeroicSacrifice: Tina sacrifices herself to give Jamie a chance to get away from Michael.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Almost. Dr. Loomis is ready to use blackmail, threats and physical force to make sure Michael is gonna be put down. It goes so far that he used Jamie as a bait to lure Michael in to a trap, and then beat him savagely with a plank so that Michael got unconscious yet he continued to beat him, all while screaming "DIE! DIE!" for each hit.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Spitz gets impaled with a pitchfork in the midst of sex.
