[Shot] Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (George Dickel)

When you have a chance to pick up a hitchhiking Donald Pleasence and share a drink, you pull that car the fuck over pronto. I should mention that George Dickel, featured in the movie, is a brand of Tennessee Whiskey (NOT bourbon), but this is Dr. Loomis we’re talking about here. Rules can be bent.

In Halloween 4, Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is hot on the trail of the Boogeyman, Michael Myers, after returning to Haddonfield on Halloween night. He has come home… again.

Dr. Loomis sips George Dickel. He's been through some shit.

What to watch for:

The opening scene.

Chills every time I see it. The perfect encapsulation of Fall and Halloween vibes.

Danielle Harris. Harris, just 11 years old, plays the niece of Michael Myers. She delivers a great performance throughout.

Donald Pleasence. An absolute roller coaster. Saves his best performance for the end – a must see!

Paired with:

George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey (I sampled Bottled in Bond; 11 year release)

Smell: Light, sweet, nutty, faint oak

Taste: Sweet, sugary, burnt caramel

Finish: Long, warm, lingers

Note: The finish lingers and won't go away - almost like Myers himself! Not bad for a $40-45 dollar bottle. Drinkable but won't overwhelm.

Overall: 6.5/10
