Directed by: Dwight H. Little
Starring: Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, George P. Wilbur
Revealing mistake: When the guys are driving down the road, you can see Michael isn't under the truck. Yet 2 minutes later, he climbs in the bed. (01:16:25 - 01:18:10)
Revealing mistake: When Michael sticks his thumb in the ambulance guy's head, you can see the inside of the fake hand.
Revealing mistake: Dr. Loomis fills his tank, and when the camera changes it is not Donald Pleasance. (00:18:30)
Other mistake: In the scene where Jamie is in the closet, looking at a photo of her mother (Jamie Lee Curtis). The photo looks exactly like the scene where Laurie is sitting waiting for Annie on the ledge in the original Halloween, which wasn't photographed at the time, it's clearly a still from the movie.
Earl: Martians could land on Ben's doorstep and all he'd do is spit once and get himself a shotgun.
Trivia: Due to an impending writer's strike, the script was completed in only 11 days by writer Alan B. McElroy. McElroy cracked the story, and managed to complete a final draft in this short period of time, reportedly turning it in only a few hours before the strike began.
Question: Why does Michael want to kill his niece?
Answer: It's tricky to say, as the films have contradictory explanations, and there are different "timelines/universes" in the series. But in the context of this film, Michael is for some reason compelled to kill his family for reasons unknown. Presumably he's just finishing the job he started by killing his sister Judith decades earlier. (They try to give a more concrete explanation in the movie "The Curse of Michael Myers," but it's... flimsy at best. And is contradicted by the following film).
Answer: Because he's a psychopath. And purely and simply evil.
