Picking Nits
The elastic timeline, Michael’s bodily needs and unexplained skills, unguarded Laurie, odorless burned body, Karen’s attraction to Bud, workplace rules, scalpel physics, scalding water, and survivable headshots
In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:28:42Read transcript
- Halloween’s first night seems to end around ten or eleven, yet downtown remains busy and the hospital action stretches plausibly or implausibly until dawn.
- Michael’s eating, digestion, driving, Samhain knowledge, needle use, and ability to continue after gunshots are explained only by Loomis’s insistence that he is not human.
- No police guard Laurie even though the town knows an active killer attacked her.
- Investigators casually inspect a newly incinerated body without reacting to heat or odor.
- Karen’s attraction to Bud is doubted; his own ban on patient relationships does not stop him from having sex with a coworker on shift.
- A scalpel cannot plausibly lift a full adult into the air, and scalding water should burn Michael’s hands.
- Two close-range shots from Laurie’s Colt should do more than neatly blind Michael.

Probably Unanswerable Questions
Brackett’s marriage, police consequences and Ben Tramer litigation, Laurie confronting her parents, unused Dana Carvey comedy, hospital youth, and Michael’s impossible knowledge
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:37:11Read transcript
- Brackett may be blamed and divorced after failing to warn or protect Annie.
- The officer who killed Ben may be suspended or retained during the shortage, while Ben’s parents have a powerful claim against Haddonfield.
- Laurie must ask her parents why they hid her adoption and sibling and remained absent through two attacks.
- Carvey could have contributed a Church Lady broadcast or impressions instead of silent background work.
- The hospital improbably concentrates many young, attractive employees in a tiny town.
What Piece of Memorabilia Would You Want From This Movie?
The original nicotine-stained Michael Myers mask
In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:39:58Read transcript
- Its fragility and value require a safe rather than allowing visitors to wear it.
- A cited 2012 asking price of one million dollars is treated cautiously because the page’s authenticity is unclear.

Michael Myers
In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:42:16Read transcript
- Two choices go to “Big Mikey” for relentless presence and survival.
- The dissent chooses Pleasence because Loomis dominates the movie, commits to every warning, and survives an arc nearly as indestructible as Michael’s.
