By far one of the strangest iterations of Michael Myers out there, the Halloween 4 that was originally billed was heavily supernatural, returning to its roots with characters from the original massacre such as Tommy, Lindsey, Gary Hunt, and Brackett.

At the end of the movie, The Shape has the powers of changing his size, meaning he turns himself into a 12ft tall behemoth after playing around with getting variably bigger, and then rampages through the Lover River Drive-In - a location mentioned in passing in the actual Halloween 2. He also regenerates his fingers that get shot off, because why the hell not at this point?

Sadly, it was rejected for being 'too cerebral', with a more human (read: less massive) Michael being the desired antagonist for the feature.
