Quotes:
|
-
Dr. Loomis: Why wasn't I informed?
Dr. Hoffman: About what?
Dr. Loomis: You know damn well about what... You let them take it out of here!
Dr. Hoffman: For Christ's sake, spare me the speech - I've listened to it for a decade! The fact is, Michael Myers was a federal patient and a federal prisoner, therefore he is subject to federal law!
-
Dr. Loomis: You talk about him as if he were a human being. That part of him died years ago.
-
Sheriff Meeker: I got a town full of beer bellies running around in the dark with shot guns! Who's gonna be next?
-
Sheriff Meeker: How could a man do this, Loomis? Tell me.
Dr. Loomis: This isn't a man.
Sheriff Meeker: Then what is he? Tell me! What the hell are we dealing with here?
Dr. Loomis: Evil.
-
Dr. Loomis: Maybe nobody knows how to stop him.

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.
- Alan B. McElroy wrote the script in 11 days and beat the writer's strike by mere hours.
- 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.
- The girl who drove Rachel and Jamie to the costume store was named Lindsey and is approximately 17 years old. In Halloween Jamie Lee Curtis babysat a seven year old named Lindsey.
- The shoot lasted about 41 days and Ellie Cornell and Danielle Harris were required to be on set for most (36) of those days.
