Quotes:

-
Dr. Loomis: We're not talking about any ordinary prisoner, Hoffman! We are talking about evil on two legs.
-
Sheriff Meeker: I got a town full of beer bellies running around in the dark with shot guns! Who's gonna be next?
-
Dr. Loomis: The state police will be here soon.
Jamie: And then we'll be safe?
Dr. Loomis: Yes.
Jamie: You don't believe that, do you?
[checks door, then pauses]
Dr. Loomis: No...
-
Sheriff Meeker: Oh, yeah... I catch you groping my daughter, I'll use that shotgun on you. Understand?
-
Dr. Loomis: You talk about him as if he were a human being. That part of him died years ago.

Trivia:
|
- Dwight H. Little did extensive research on the history of Halloween and many of its harvest images were put in the creepy opening sequence.
- Leaves had to be imported and squash was painted to look like pumpkins.
- Alan B. McElroy wrote the script in 11 days and beat the writer's strike by mere hours.
- The shoot lasted about 41 days and Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris were required to be on set for most (36) of those days.
- After viewing a rough edit it was decided that the movie was too soft, so they brought in special effects wizard John Carl Buechler for one day of extra "blood" filming. The thumb in the forehead and the redneck's head getting twisted were both done by him.
