Michele LittleThe original writer of the story was Nigel Kneale but he sued the producers to take his name off the movie after seeing how violent it was.
Conal Cochran:
You don't really know much about Halloween. You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy.
Continuity: Towards the end of the movie, Chaliss's shirt goes from untucked to tucked several times between shots.
With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
