Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, to kill again.
Lynda: I can't believe it! We have three new cheers to learn in the morning, I have to get my dress ready and my hair done in the afternoon, the game is at six, and the dance is at eight! I'll be totally wiped out! Laurie: [sarcastically] I don't think you have enough to do tomorrow. Lynda: Totally!
[Referring to a partially eaten dog.] Sheriff Brackett: A man wouldn't do that. Dr. Loomis: This is not a man.
Laurie: Lynda, if this is a joke, I'll kill you!
Laurie: I saw Mr. Riddle in his backyard, he was watching me. Annie: Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie! Mr. Riddle is eighty-seven! Laurie: He can still watch. Annie: That's probably all he can do.
Sheriff Brackett: It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare.
Trivia:
Due to its shoestring budget, the prop department had to use the cheapest mask that they could find in the costume store: a William Shatner mask, from the movie The Devil's Rain. They later spray-painted the face white, teased out the hair, and reshaped the eye holes.
The opening shot appears to be a single, tracking, point of view shot, but there are actually three cuts. The first when the mask goes on, the second and third after the murder has taken place and the shape is exiting the room, this was done to make the point of view appear to move faster.
