[The Dark Shape]

This movie has steadily grown on my since I first viewed. I strongly disliked when I first watched, but after viewing it several more times, I really start to like it. It explains quit a bit into the Thorn plot and is actually a pretty good slasher movie.

While it was very sad to see that this would be Pleasence's final movie in the series, you can't take away how creative this movie was. It's really one of a kind in this series. You can link it to H4 and H5, but it is still separable from those movies. I would LOVE to see the next Halloween movie continue where this one left off. I would really like to see a storyline with Tommy Doyle in it again, although the Akkads have made it very clear that the Thorn storyline is dead.
