  • Salt Lake City replaced Pasadena, imported leaves and squash supplied autumn, and George P Wilbur wore hockey pads.
  • An unused script about traumatized Lindsay and Tommy is described and preferred; a retained Lindsay reference may be a remnant.
  • Cornell reportedly cut her stomach on a nail during the roof stunt; Wilbur removed his mask between takes to reassure Harris.
  • The costume drugstore is identified as a location later seen in The Sandlot.
  • The first schoolhouse scene kept the rejected blond mask instead of being reshot.
  • An extra day of blood filming reportedly added extreme kills because the initial cut lacked violence; the decision is endorsed.

  • Myers finding his niece at the drugstore, going unseen, driving a conspicuous stolen truck and fitting a mask over bandages strain credibility.
  • His knowledge of the power grid is implausible, with supernatural guidance jokingly offered.
  • Hoffman’s urgency to transfer Myers, hostility to Loomis, institutional hierarchy and federal-prisoner description are unclear.
  • Sending only two middle-aged paramedics after16 earlier murders is criticized.
  • Claims of Myers’s wasted muscles should have been checked rather than assumed.
  • The protective sheriff lets his daughter remain without pants or a bra around everyone during the emergency.
  • Myers knows the cemetery, power station and police station despite confinement since childhood.
