Character mistake: When Sheriff Brackett is talking to Loomis at the food stand, he calls him Don. His name is Sam. Even says it in the subtitles. (01:19:35)

Suggested correction: He could possibly be saying "Doc".
No, he's definitely saying "Don." It's never been addressed, but I think it's an honest mistake with two people who have never met before and maybe an homage to Donald Pleasance, who played Loomis before.
It's hard to say, but it does sound like "Don." The sheriff says "doc" two times later in the same scene and those two times definitely sounds different than the first time. But I don't think it's meant to be a homage to anyone. I think it's just an actor who flubbed the word.

Corrected entry: In the cemetery scene, Loomis and Chester Chesterfield are discussing the dead animal when Loomis uses his cell phone. In 1978 cell phones were a loooong ways off.
Correction: By the time this part of the movie takes place, you've already seen several other characters using or at least handling cell phones. Another correction says it had been many years since Michael's first crimes, so yes, they'd been invented.
Correction: The remake isn't set in the 70's. In this film, Michael was born in 1980, so when he's 10 and murders people, it's 1990.
Correction: At this point in the movie it has been many years since Michael's incarceration and by that time cell phones have been invented.
