So after Halloween 4 set up Jamie as the new killer... then.. Halloween 5 set up Jamie as the psychic girl, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers set up Jamie as a mildly important but mostly disposable character so we can get to the REAL important details! Which still aren't funny horror movies quite hammered out, don't make sense, and differ depending on which version of the movie you (blog post) watch. What fun!
