One of the only good things about Halloween VI: The Curse of Michael Myers is, of course, Dr. Sam Loomis. Without fail, I am instantly comforted and completely happy when they show him in his dark rural home during a thunderstorm in late October, lit only by a few old glass-shaded lamps and a glowing fire. Typing away at an antique typewriter, he's listening to a radio program about the Haddonfield murders and a caller asks whatever happened to Michael Myers' old doctor and suggests that he's dead. Loomis looks up from his desk laughing and says "Not dead...just very much retired."

H6 had it moments...the Loomis scene, the Halloween festival and Mrs Blankenship's speech all work well..although I do remember sitting in the theater being horribly disappointed with the ending.
I think the fact that it was actually shot in the month of October gives it a feel that none of the other films had. I think it may be the only film in the entire series that was shot in the fall/October.
Your random posts about the Halloween series are great though!
I agree with you. Those scenes were great. And the look absolutely is the most Halloweeny of the bunch. And the old lady's speech was very cool and Conal Cochran-ish to me... plus her last name was a small tribute to a name used in Halloween III.
