Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is a 1995 American slasher film directed by Joe Chappelle and written by Daniel Farrands. The film stars Donald Pleasence in his final film appearance, Paul Stephen Rudd, and Marianne Hagan. It is the sixth installment in the Halloween film series, and concludes the "Thorn Trilogy" story arc established in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. Set six years after the events of Halloween 5, the plot follows Michael Myers as he stalks the Strode family, cousins of Laurie Strode, in order to kill his last surviving relatives, while Dr. Sam Loomis pursues him once more. The film also reveals the source of Michael's immortality and his drive to kill. Shot in Salt Lake City in the fall of 1995, it underwent a series of reshoots after it performed poorly with test audiences. The film was distributed by Dimension Films, who would go on to distribute the rest of the series until 2018's Halloween.
