Dr. Death (the new character who unexpectedly appeared at the end of the previous film) saves Michael and kidnaps Jamie, taking both to an underground laboratory. The niece is then fertilized with the test-tube semen of the malevolent uncle and gives birth to a boy destined to undergo the THORN project. Having learned the dark design behind the Dr. Death sect, the desperate girl evades surveillance, retrieves her son, and flees. But the sinister doctor once again unleashes the unstoppable uncle against her. Michael will succeed in killing Jamie this time, but his sacrifice will allow Dr. Loomis and Tommy (the now-adult child whom Jamie Lee Curtis babysat in the first Halloween) to save the little one. The uncle then rebels and massacres Dr. Death and the entire Thorn sect. In the disappointing and rushed ending, unfortunately, Dr. Loomis will also fall by Michael's hand. The film, although it brings new and original elements to the now-sterile saga of the invulnerable psychopath in the white mask, ultimately leaves the viewer with the feeling of having watched a film edited in a superficial manner. In fact, the original subject was almost completely revised due to the sudden death of Donald Pleasence (who played the role of Dr. Loomis, Michael's indestructible antagonist since the first film). Therefore, in the desperate attempt to respect the production deadlines set by the contract, much of the film was re-shot, completely cutting the original ending. To reveal the secret of the Thorn project and finally discover the mystery hidden in the soul of Michael Myers, I refer you to the special edition on "Halloween 6".
