The town of Haddonfield is referenced in this movie, which is the fictional setting of "Halloween" and its sequels. The screenwriter of this film wrote "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" and Haddonfield is a real town in New Jersey, the birthplace of Debra Hill, producer and co-screenwriter of "Halloween." This film takes place in a small New Jersey town, so the reference to Haddonfield has multiple meanings.
