Halloween VI: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)

Chucklehead just will not die. He’s back again to murder anyone living in the Myers house that may be very slightly semi-related somehow to somebody somewhere. His first kill was a lot of fun, but things went downhill from there with the introduction of a public fascination with serial killers that sets up some lazy plot advancements.
Loomis, now wizened and retired (and hardly burned), gets most of his scenes cut, along with some babble about a cult that was supposed to explain the Thorn rune. The rune is Purisaz, which does actually represent negative powers and hostility, so that fits.
Elsewhere, they manage to mispronounce Samhain again after getting it wrong in the second film and then correct in the third.
On a sadder note, Donald Pleasence died before the film was released.
