    • Trivia
      Danielle Harris sold the clown costume to a fan.
    • Goofs
      How was the police officer able to back out of his driveway let alone get into his car without seeing Michael, who is portrayed as a pretty tall man laying across his backseat? If you look closely, you can even see him turn his head and adjust his body in order to back out of the driveway so how was he not able to see Michael in his backseat?
    • Quotes

      Dr. Loomis: You're talking about him as if he were a human being. That part of him died years ago.

    • Alternate versions
      The German version of this not-so violent film was cut during the gore scenes to get a 16 rating.

    Fairly enjoyable horror continuation of the legend Micheal Myers
    Danielle Harris is so cute in her first role I'm so glad I got her autograph last year at MonsterCon! Donald Presence is great as the epic Dr. Samuel Loomis, you can tell how old he was though. Some decent kills and definitely watchable film experience all around! I'm glad this is available on Shudder although they need more to watch on it.
