    • Trivia
      The film's producer is Malek Akkad, who is the son of Moustapha Akkad, the producer of the original 1978 "Halloween." Moustapha Akkad was murdered, along with his daughter Rima (Malek's sister), in the terrorist bombing of an Amman, Jordan hotel in 2005. Jamie Lee Curtis has recounted how the first person she saw when she came to the set for the first day of filming the 2018 film was Malek, who she remembered as a 7 year-old child visiting the set during production of the original film. She added that seeing Malek for the first time since his father's death immediately brought her to tears.
    • Goofs
      When Michael Myers walks around Laurie's house, the view from the basement shows gaps, dust and even his footsteps through the floor. Earlier the floor was shown to be consisting of square floor tiles without gaps.
    • Quotes

      Laurie Strode: He's waited for this night... he's waited for me... I've waited for him...

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits, Michael Myers' distinctive breathing can be heard.

    Shocking, shameless and horrific... AWESOME!!!
    Just when you think a cringe-worthy act of heroism is imminent.... think again.

    Yes, I was expecting this to have numerous moments of cheese... How wrong I was.

    As an avid fan of horror movies, I am totally aware of the shambolic efforts that have graced our screens in years past. I was expecting the worst. But...

    I highly recommend watching this, tipsy, in the darkness and alone.... a that's how I did it. If you watch it with someone, make sure they shut the hell up!

    How could anyone enjoy a film properly with someone waffling in the background?

    EXCELLENT!
