  • At the police station there is an uncovered nude corpse in the background window while two people are having a conversation; his genitals are visible though out of focus.

Finally, his head is smashed through a railing and then thrown up and down onto the broken parts while another character watches. There is loud screaming and gargling and this sequence is extremely disturbing and graphic. The killer than grabs the boy's head and twists it 180 degrees, snapping his neck and killing him. Graphic sound effects accompany this entire scene.
  • There is a sequence where a man gets stabbed in the armpit with lots of blood pouring out. The man is thrown to the ground and then picked up and has his eyes gouged out with. You see the eyeballs pop out, and there's lots of blood and gore. The body is later seen afterward in full detail.

  • A fire fighter falls through a broken floor in the burning house and is then brutally beaten with a metal object. You can see the bashing occur for a few seconds on screen before he gets bashed one last time which causes a slice in his face with blood splattering out (you can see his bloody disfigured face for a few seconds).

  • Laurie has surgery to repair the damage caused by the knife that Michael stabbed in her stomach in the previous movie. Very graphic.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • The film's climax involves Michael killing a large mob of people one by one in increasingly brutal ways.
  • A very intense sequence involving Michael Myers shows Michael entering a older couples' house where he brutally bashes a mans head into shards of glass and stabs a woman with a long light tube. Screaming and psychological torture happens when Michael starts riddling the dead mans body with multiple kitchen knives while the woman (wife) is slowly bleeding out and watching. However, it was revealed that she survived in the next film (Halloween Ends) but she was paralyzed.
  • Tommy Doyle has his head beaten in very violently with a baseball bat. (Offscreen)
  • A couple of dead children on screen, but their actual deaths are not shown.
  • Cameron Elam gets stabbed several times and has his neck broken on a staircase. This scene is very disturbing, accompanied by loud crunching with every hit.
  • Karen gets violently stabbed and murdered in the last shots of the movie.
  • Firefighter scene not nearly as bloody or graphic as described. Only a few onscreen murders with little to no close up shown. However some of it still is fairly graphic, but it's nothing compared to some of this other movie's moments.
  • A man is mistaken for Michael Myers and is chased by people trying to kill him. He is trapped between two doors and a window before he decides to commit suicide by jumping off the window. The actual splatter isn't shown, but the body is shown briefly.
  • A woman fires a high powered handgun at Michael Myers as he kills another woman in a car. She approaches the car, missing him. Michael kicks open the door, hitting the handgun the woman is holding. The gun flings around and she accidentally shoots herself in the face.
  • Michael forces a knife through one of the mob members arm and holds it there, he also slashes a man's ankle. They're brief but the most cringing parts of the street fight.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A mental patient is chased in a hospital by a mob, under the assumption that he's Michael Myers. Realizing he's trapped, the patient proceeds to commit suicide by jumping from one of the top floors. Viewers will definitely find this whole sequence unsettling since we already know he's not Michael Myers, and it gets worse once Karen and some officers figure it out and try to stop the mob.
  • Some may find Michael's tendencies to play with his victims and their corpses after murdering them very disturbing. Specifically the kitchen scene where Michael stabs multiple dinner knives into a man's back after brutally assaulting him resulting in the man dying.
  • Tommy Doyle's and Karen's deaths are intense and emotional for some audiences
  • Pretty much all of the deaths in this movie are really hard to watch . Little John and Big John's death especially are incredibly upsetting .
