You know, the opening credits of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) almost feels like it belongs in a different movie. I imagine director Little's second unit team took these and maybe that's why the opening credits just feels so different than the film itself. Howarth's score is slight and underlying without being overbearing. It hints at a disquiet in the quiet. It is the rural in its vast empty, a feeling of something more that doesn't show itself but all the same you *feel* it.

Then comes the movie which is rather noisy, but acceptable as modest slasher entertainment without much in the way of what we see in a few seconds at the beginning.
