sure we can watch movies and say "hey, that was great!" But what's more fun than saying "hey, they FUCKED UP!" ? The answer is nothing.
People may not enjoy this, but i like finding these lists and then hunting for the mistakes. So here's a list of goofs from the Halloween series (excluding 8)
WARNING THIS IS LONG (but entertaining
)
HALLOWEEN:
License plates in the original film have California tags, although they should be in Illinois!
When Loomis stops to make a phone call on his trip to Haddonfield, snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance, although the film makes place in the flat land of Illinois.
As Laurie walks home from school, the pavement changes from dry to wet.
The door to the Doyle house appears to be on the right for both sides of the door.
In the scene where Laurie sees Michael behind a bush, smoke from director John Carpenter's cigarette can be seen blowing through the shot.
In the Wallace house, as Lynda and Bob leave the living room to go upstairs, Lynda trips over a dolly track.
Michael has his age listed as "age 23" in the credits, where he was actually 21 in the film.
Michael supposedly doesn't get his mask and knife until after school is over when he brakes into the Hardware Store. He is seen with it on, however, before that when standing outside of Laurie's school.
The Wallace house has the door handle on the left side of the door, on both sides! Impossible. Also, the door appears to be far to the right side of the house. When Lynda and Bob (and even Annie for that matter) enter the house, off to the immediate right is the living room. It's impossible since there's no room. These two goofs are because the interior of the Wallace house was filmed elsewhere.
When the kids trip Tommy Doyle, all three run off to the left. In the next shot, only two kids run to the left while one runs toward the camera.
When Laurie escapes Lindsay's house at the end, she breaks out a pane of glass in the door to move the rake. The fake glass is easily visible through the light.
Keeping with the last flub, when the glas is shattered, shards of glass are left sticking out of the frame of the door, but the camera cuts away and when it comes back there are absolutely no shards at all, just a clean wooden frame.
When Lindsey is watching the horror movie on T.V. and the phone starts to ring, the camera starts to pan over to the phone. During the pan you can see someone' shadow moving on the wall behind Lindsey. Someone got in the lighting behind the camera.
On the back of the HALLOWEEN box, Myers is spelled INcorrectly as Meyers. The same goes for a track on the original soundtrack.
When Michael is chasing Laurie at the end, she runs out the back door and to the RIGHT. But, when there is a cut to the front of the house, Laurie comes running from the left side instead.
The pumpkin in front of the Wallace house seems to change from time to time. When Bob carries Lynda into the house, it's a normal looking pumpkin. When Laurie walks up to the house at the end, however, the pumpkin is different. This one is a lot wider and shorter.
A continuity error occurs when Michael is stalking Tommy at the school. When Tommy first starts to walk away, there are a few cars parked across the street from where he's headed. There is a cut once Michael gets into his car, and that's when all of those cars are gone.
When Annie drops Laurie off at the Doyle house, their front doors are filled with small windows. Throughout the rest of the movie, the door is different.
When Michael is carrying Annie back to the house, her head is on the left while her feet are to the right. Then they cut to Tommy's reaction. When they cut back, her body is now facing the opposite way. Her head is on the right side and the legs are to the left.
Take notice of the scene where the gutter smashes into the window, scaring Loomis and Brackett half to death. The rest of the movie, when we see that front window, the gutter is nowhere to be seen, when it should be hanging over the window.
When Bob picks Lynda up in his arms, he leaves the van door open. Then, they go into the Wallace house. After Lynda is murdered, Laurie Strode goes across the street to inspect everything, and when she passes the van, you can clearly see that the door has been closed.
When Micheal follows Annie and Laurie in the car, he parks only about one or two doors down from Lindsey's house (if that). Then later, when Loomis is standing in front of the Myers house, he turns around and all of a sudden sees Micheal's car. Since Michael never had time to move the car, it could never have popped up in this new location.
On the box for the Limited Edition of the movie by Anchor Bay, Debra Hill's name is spelled wrong (Deborah).
Palm trees can be seen at numerous times throughout the film. Obviously, palm trees can't grow in Illinois. This happened, though, because it was filmed in California.
When Lynda, Annie, and Laurie are walking home from school, Laurie says the Wallace's house is 3 houses down from the Doyle's. In the film, though, the houses are actually shown across the street from each other.
Even though Michael's just a child at the beginning of the film, his P.O.V. makes him appear as though he's a grown adult. This is evident when he reaches for the knife and when he watches Judith's boyfriend leave, for example.
Watch the where Laurie barely escapes the Shape and Tommy barely unlocks the door in time. After she tells him to go upstairs, she notices the open window/door next to her and sees the curtain blowing in the wind. In the new DVD version, you can see a large wind fan behind the window, creating the wind to move the curtain.
When Laurie turns around right before she runs into Brackett, the bush behind her changes between the cuts. It goes from being untrimmed to perfectly trimmed between the two angles.
As soon as Laurie gets back inside the Doyle's house after The Shape is chasing her, she tells Tommy to hurry. Look at the light switches on the wall, Both switches are already pointing down. When she slides her fingers down over them, they don't go anywhere (since they're already pointed "down," or off) yet the lights still dim. Obviously, this is a flub. The lights were already pointed off, but then the crew members would shut the lights off when her fingers would go over the switch.
When little Michael is about to kill his sister, you can see the clock on the kitchen wall and another clock in the living room show it's about 9:25pm. As Michael walks up the steps, there are 10 loud chimes that come from the clock, signifying it's 10pm. Without a cut, there's no way it took 35 minutes to walk up those steps!
You can see a wrench attached to Michael's hand when he breaks the car window when at Smith's Grove. In the film, Michael's supposed to be doing it with his bare hand.
(Best seen with the new Limited Edition DVD) During the scene where Annie and Laurie are walking away from the bush where Laurie had seen the Shape disappear behind moments earlier, hit the pause button. If you hit slo-mo, look at the front porch of the house directly behind the bush. You'll see that there's a man (possibly crew members) watching the whole scene being filmed. He's standing and you can see him above the bush.
(Best seen with the new Limited Edition DVD) After Michael looks in the window at Judith and her boyfriend, the camera pulls back and goes back around to the front of the house. When it first starts to pull back, if you look on the porch, hanging outside of the window are a whole bunch of electrical wires leading into the house for the lighting equipment. When he gets inside to where that window is, the wires are gone. A crew member obviously moved the wires out of sight while the filming was taking place on the other side of the house.
Set in October in Illinois, the leaves should not be green.
When Annie and Laurie are driving and The Shape is driving behind them {take note you need a widescreen version of the film to see this flub} the mirror in the car between Laurie and Annie keeps changing its position without anyone of them messing with it.
After Annie hangs up the phone from talking with Laurie (when Annie spills something on herself and then proceeds to the laundry room), the movie "The Thing" just begins. But when Annie returns from putting her clothes in the wash and hurries Lindsay over to the Doyle residence, you can hear in the background the TV announcer stating to stay tuned for the horrifying conclusion of "The Thing".
Lynda tells Bob to go upstairs, to the first door on the left. After Annie, Lynda, and Bob are killed, Laurie goes to look for them. She goes upstairs and passes the first door, going almost to the end of the hall before entering the bedroom. Even though Michael could've moved them to another room, he probably wouldn't haved moved the phone and pumpkin that was in the room with Bob and Lynda while they had sex.
Annie calls Laurie and tells her that she'll pick her up at 6:00. However,
when she picks Laurie up it's still daylight when it should be dark at that time of year.
HALLOWEEN 2:
The most famous mess-up is probably the fact that while Dr. Loomis shouts "I shot him six times," he actually shot him seven times during the film's prelude.
When Ben Tramer is hit by the police car, his body falls forward. In the next scene, he is standing straight up. A continuity error.
The police claim the Myers house is at "45 Lampkin Lane." The address on the front porch clearly displays the number 709.
When Jimmy finds Mrs. Alves on the gurney bleeding all over the floor, he turns to run out the door to get help and slips on the blood and knocks himself out when his head hits the floor. In fact, he's laying right in the middle of the blood! Later when Laurie is hiding in Jimmy's car, he gets in and the back of his shirt is not a bloody mess at all, it's clean!
When The Shape is drowning the nurse in the scalding water, her towel suddenly goes from being wrapped just below her shoulders to being tied around the waist.
There is a flashing orange light in the back of the marshal's car, but when they turn around to head back to Haddonfield it is nowhere to be seen. It is gone.
Michael Myers back peddles up a ramp when he falls from the balcony in the beginning.
As the ambulance approaches the hospital, notice the hood of the ambulance has red blinking lights. When they stop for the two people (the mother and the childwith the razor blade in his mouth) the blinking lights have moved down to the front bumper.
In HALLOWEEN, Michael Myers falls off the balcony in the backyard. In the beginning of this one, however, the fall takes place in the front yard.
In the scene where the boys ask Mr. Hunt about Ben Tramer, Mr. Hunt says that "it's just a little past 11." Following this up in the next scene Bud lures Karen into the room to kiss her and wish her Happy Halloween. During this scene, as Bud reaches up to kiss Karen, his watch is clearly visible and shows the time as 1:00!
When Michael falls off the balcony at the end of HALLOWEEN, he lands predominantly in an area of the lawn that is more dirt filled. In this film, he lands in a completely grassy lawn.
In the original film, the pumpkin at the Wallace's house was very small and fat, but in this film (which takes place the same night) you can see when all the cops and reporters are at the house that the pumpkin changed in size and the face got different as well.
On the Goodtimes Home Video box front cover, they spelled Jamie Lee Curtis as Jaime Lee Curtis. Plus, they use images on the box that are from other HALLOWEEN films, rather than from this film.
In the scene where Marion is calling for help on the police car's 2-way radio, she speaks, "Marion Chambers with Doctor Loomis at the clinic; He's here." Right after that, the policeman on the other end of the radio starts to talk. However, Marion never lets go of the "talk" button on the radios microphone, until the middle of the policeman's response to her request. You can't listen and receive anything on the radio while the button on the mic is pressed.
When Michael walks into the old couple's house, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is showing on the television. At that point, the film is just beginning, with Barbara and Johnny first pulling up to the ce****ry. Much later in the film, the security guard is also watching NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD on television, and it's the scene where the ce****ry zombie is attacking Barbara in her car. This is no more than ten minutes later in NOTLD, yet it's way more than ten minutes later in the evening of HALLOWEEN II.
In the end credits of the filmm, it says NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is copyright 1978, when in fact, the movie was made in 1968.
Sheriff Bracket's sideburns don't look the same as in the original film, even though both films are supposed to take place the same night.
If you pause the widescreen version of the movie at exactly 1hr 35min and 34sec (at the end of the film when Laurie is blown off of her feet by the explosion in the Operating Room). If you examine the right side of the screen you can actually see behind the "set" wall. You can see the vertical planks that are holding it up and you can see a coiled up cable of some sort hanging there. Fast forward three seconds to 1hr 25min 37sec you can see behind the wall again, only this time the scene is a little bit darker. If you watch closely from the moment the explosion goes off and we see Laurie in the corridor, you can see the wall on the right shaking making it obvious that this is a set and not a real corridor.
After the explosion and Michael is walking on fire, you'll notice he is right next to the burning stretcher. Then they cut to a scene of Laurie hiding behind a water fountain. In the next scene of Michael, he is now about 8 feet before the stretcher walking towards her again. He obviously didn't back up.
When Annie's body gets wheeled out of the house and her father closes her eyes, her lids blink even though she should be dead.
HALLOWEEN 3:
Toward the end of the movie, if you watch Tom Atkins' shirt, it goes from untucked to tucked in a few times.
In TEST ROOM A, the boy's mask has no Silver Shamrock emblem/logo appearing on it at the first of the scene. But when the flashing in the commercial gets underway, the mask has the S.S. logo on the back of the mask.
Towards the end of the film, some of Cochrane's android assassins are seen in two different places throughout the factory with no time change.
When Ms. Grimbridge walks back from the hotel office where she has just bought a coke, there is no cars in the motel parking spaces. On the way back to her room, suddenly Mrs. Guttman appears out of her car after scaring Ellie by honking the car horn. Since no car pulled in and there has been no elapse in time, it's obviously a flub.
Keeping with the last flub, after Mrs. Guttman goes into her motel room, there's an outside shot of the motel. Once again, there are no cars parked there. Although Mrs. Guttman's car was just there a minute ago.
If a mandatory curfew of 6:00 p.m. has been imposed ... how does Dr. Challis buy booze later that night? The store should have to adhere to the curfew as well.
HALLOWEEN 4:
Strange lighting makes the Shape appear to have white hair during a scene in the schoolhouse.
Hoffman types "Michael M. Myers" when Michael's actual middle initial is "A."
In the final chase scene in truck, The Shape reaches into the window and rips Rachel's sweater open, but in the next shot it is back how it was, buttoned and all.
When Michael finds the picture of Laurie, it's a picture that was obviously taken behind the scenes on the first one. It couldn't be a real one, because it's of Laurie sitting with the pumpkin, but nobody was there to take the picture.
On the back of the VHS box, it says, "Two women trapped in their own home, stalked by the most dangerous creature alive." In fact, they're not trapped in their own house, it's the Sheriff's house.
At the beginning of the film, the orderly says Myers killed 16 people on Halloween night in 1978. That count seems to be a few too many.
At the Gas Station, the front of Dr. Loomis' car has four headlights and vertical/horizontal lines on the grill. When Michael blows up the gas station, though, the front of the car is different.
When Brady is trying to reload his double barrel and is shouting at Rachel and Jamie to "get up there," you can see that when Michael gets up to the same level of the stairs that Brady is on that the wall behind him is white and has some kind of decorative wall hanging or something to that effect. As the scene goes, it shows Michael, then it shows Brady fumbling to reload the gun, then a close up of Brady's hands, then back to his face, then a shot of Michael lunging toward him. The shot of Michael lunging toward him must have been a quick shot from a different scene that was just thrown in only because it was a few seconds long because if you pause it and watch it in slow motion you can see, especially on the new H4 Widescreen DVD, that the background behind Michael is of the downstairs - front door part of the house.
During the credits at the end, there is a character listed as Leslie. This person should be listed as Lindsey, there is to Leslie in the film. The mistake may have come in the fact that the actress who plays Lindsey (or Leslie as they call her in the credits) is actually named Leslie.
When Dr. Loomis and Sheriff Meeker are scared by the Halloween Pranksters with Myers Masks on, as soon as they pull out and Meeker starts talking on the radio, there is a car parked behind them. Then the camera pulls out and shows Michael Myers standing behind them -- notice the car on the left is gone!
When Jamie and Rachel are riding with the rednecks, Jamie begins the ride by sitting on Rachel's leg, against the door. When the police stop their truck, you can then see Jamie has moved over to the middle, between the driver and Rachel. When they cut back when they're driving, she's moved again back to the lap. A continuity error.
As Rachel and Jamie slide down the roof, they look down and a bike can be seen on the ground. When Jamie ends up running to Rachel later on, the bike is no longer there.
On the back cover of the video, Ridgemont is incorrectly spelled "Richmond."
In the drug store, when Rachel calls off her date, Brady asks why she didn't tell him earlier. He says, "It's 5:00 now, Rachel." It can't be 5 because she just picked Jamie up from school, so it's probably around 3 or 3:30.
The male attendant in the beginning doesn’t enter the ambulance through the back with Myers like the female attendant. But, the next shot shows him back there instead of in the front where he went.
When Loomis parks his car outside the filling station, he stops past the last gas pump. The next shot shows his car much closer and he tries to fill it up.
At the garage, after Dr. Loomis shoots at Michael and then disappears, Dr. Loomis runs to the window to look for Michael. At a closer look (even clearer on the DVD) you can see the camera man's reflection in the window.
HALLOWEEN 5:
The Myers' house appears to be a huge gothic mansion, although the house appeared as a smaller Victorian house in previous films.
When Mikey is cleaning his car outside the liquor store, a set light can be seen on the hood of the car as he wipes it down.
At the end of H4, Rachel tells Jamie to "Stay right here, in the truck." In the H5 re-cap, she simply tells Jamie "I want you to stay in the car."
At the costume party, they introduce Jamie as Jamie Carruthers rather than Jamie Lloyd. She could have legally changed her name over in the past year, but assuming she didn't, it could be a flub.
When Tina is talking to Mikey (actually Michael) in the car, there's a portion of the words that don't match up with what her lips are saying.
While Michael is chasing Tina and Jamie in the car, Michael's position changes from the passenger seat to the driver seat several times.
During the end credits, when they tell the label the soundtrack is on, Varese Sarabande is misspelled as Varese Serabande.
Dr. Loomis says that his memory goes back 12 years to his burnt arm from 1978's Halloween. But, H5 takes place in 1989, which is actually only 11 years.
When Jamie goes into the attic, trying to hide from Myers, she discovers the body of Rachel sitting in a chair next to the stairs (leading out of the attic). You also see her body when Michael comes up into the attic after Jamie. When you see Jamie running down the attic stairs, you don't see Rachel's body anymore. Her body couldn't get up and walk away.
In HALLOWEEN 4, Jamie is 7 years old, but in this installment, Tina says Jamie is a 9-year-old girl. It's tough to gain two years in age after just one year!
Look when Jamie hides in the hamper. There is a door to the left of it. When she falls down and after Michael starts beating the hamper with his knife, Jamie gets out. If you look toward your left, the door is gone.
When Mike is looking in his mirror and Michael Myers drags the fork on the back of the car, Mike soon gets out of his car with a crowbar. When Michael Myers grabs him on the neck, Mike drops the bar. Notice it fell behind him to the right -- then Michael Myers hits him in the head with the fork and Mike falls back shaking. The pitchfork is on the right of him by his upper legs.
After Sam sees her boyfriend get the pitchfork through his body, she lunges at Michael with the same pitchfork. However, Michael grabs the pitchfork and slams her against the wall. As he slashes her with his sickle, you can see a bunch of blood splash onto his WHITE mask, but in the next scene, it is gone.
Notice Mike's car, it had no bottom lights on it if you look at it earlier in the film. But, when Michael is chasing Tina, Jamie, and Billy if you looked there were bottom lights on the car and they were lit up in several shots.
Sam's devil horns at the party keep dissappearing and then reappearing.
When Tina is upstairs looking at herself in the mirror, she has her jacket on. But, when the doorbell rings and Tina runs down the stairs, she is carrying it. When Sam scares her, SHE HAS IT ON all of a sudden!
Jamie Lloyd's cut on the front of her face at the top keeps changing sizes.
The end credits say, "In order of appearance," and then list the cast. However, the list they have isn't actually in order of appearance. They list Rachel, then Sheriff Meeker, then Sam Loomis, and then Jamie Lloyd. When you view the film, you'll notice it should go Rachel (first seen in the truck), then Jamie (seen ducking under the dashboard from the H4 flashback), then Meeker (shooting Michael), and then Sam Loomis (holding Jamie after Michael falls in the mineshaft).
The address is supposed to be 45 Lampkin Lane, but the address clearly states something in triple digits (100?) when Loomis visits the house during the daytime.
On the H5 DVD, the on-set interviews say "On the Set, 1988" when the movie actually was filmed in the Spring of 1989.
Sammy's gloves are on again and off again, throughout the barn scene.
When Jamie is talking about the "Big Cookie Woman," an officer tries to get a hold of Sheriff Meeker. Over the radio, the officer says, "Sergeant Meeker, what's your 20?" He should have called him Sheriff, however, not Sergeant.
During the car chase scene at the Tower Farm, the different camera angles reveal more than one person occupying the car that only Michael is supposed to be driving.
Can be spotted watching the H5 DVD: When Michael is coming down the river, as soon as he grabs onto the net and starts pulling himself up, there is something sticking out of the back of his left shoulder. It looks like it could be some kind of wire hidden under his clothes.
Can be spotted watching the H5 DVD: When Michael kills Mike with the fork, he lifts his arm to stab him and his sleeve pulls back. You can clearly see where the dark burn makeup ends.
When Mikey is cleaning his car outside the store, Tina jumps up near the back of the car and scares him with the mask. She puts the mask over his head and he pulls it away, throwing it toward the car. As he tears it away, his glasses are still on. In the very next shot as he throws the mask into the back of the car, his glasses are gone. When he gets behind the wheel, he reaches back and retreives his glasses from the backseat.
HALLOWEEN 6:
Probably the biggest noticeable screw-up is the fact that Jamie should only be 15 years old, but appears to be in her 20's.
Michael kills Barry Simms at the carnival, then suddenly, Michael appears at the Myers' house.
Loomis seems to make the trip from Haddonfield to Smith's Grove (which are 150 miles apart) in record time.
When John Strode goes downstairs, his hair goes from dry, to moist/wet looking and hanging down.
After Tim's murder, Kara calls the Myers/Strode home which has no electricity. Beth picks up a cordless phone and begins to speak with Kara. This is not possible since cordless phones have bases that run on electric. If the power is out, the phone doesn't work.
Debra Strode mispronounces her daughter's name at the beginning of the breakfast scene. She pronounces it as "Carr-uh" rather than "Care-uh." Of course, the actual spelling is Kara, the other ones are just for pronunciation purposes.
There are continuity problems with the blood on Jamie's chin when she is being impaled on the farm equipment.
Tommy goes to the bus station and a map of the towns of Illinois appears on the wall. Notice that Haddonfield and Smiths Grove (150 miles apart in the film) are located inbetween Pontiac and Dwight which are 18 miles apart in reality! That's how far apart the Amtrak stations are from each other according to the Amtrak ti****ble/schedule.
When Kara, Danny, and Tommy are running from Michael, they go into the room with the dead fetus's. Kara locks the door, with there being two locks on the door ( you can here her locking both of them). But, when Michael punched the door and rips the door nob, you can see that there are two locks on it and only one hole for the bottom one to only lock. How did Kara lock the door when the upper one didn't even go to another lock?
When Tommy is on the phone with Barry Simms, he holds the phone and types on his keyboard with his right hand simultaneously!
Throughout the film, Tommy Doyle is not wearing a belt. But suddenly when he gets to the Maximum Security ward in Smith's Grove, he is wearing a belt and it stays on for the rest of the film.
HALLOWEEN 7 (H2O):
During the very end of the credits, when the film is dedicated to the memory of Donald Pleasence, they misspelled Pleasence as Pleasance.
In the beginning credits, there's a picture of Laurie Strode in the Haddonfield Yearbook. It says "Class of '78." It should be "Class of '79," however, because the film took place in October of 1978, when Laurie was a senior, so she would have been graduating in the summer of '79, making her "Class of '79."
Also in the beginning credits, one of the articles says "Lauries Strode, who survived the Haddonfield murders in 1968..." instead of 1978.
In one of the articles at the beginning of the film, during the credits, Michael Myers' name is spelled wrong. They spell it Meyers at one point.
In the opening sequence, Marion's house is supposed to have a loss of power. When Jimmy goes to investigate, however, the light bulb in the refrigerator comes on when he snags the beer. If there is no power in the house, then the light bulb should not have come on in the refrigerator.
More than one mask was used in the filming of the film. This is quite evident as the look of the mask changes from time to time in the film.
In the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis is telling Adam Arkin who she really is, they are lying on the sofa in her living room. After she tells him, she asks if he wants a drink. She goes to the kitchen and gets a bottle of vodka from the fridge. As she is walking back into the living area, she unscrews the top of the bottle and takes a swig. Never replacing the top, she hands the bottle to Adam Arkin who (before he takes a drink) unscrews the top.
When Keri and John are arguing over Yosemite in the Kitchen, Keri slams the refrigerator door shut. A magnet falls to the ground, but when there's a cut, you don't see the magnet on the floor.
Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's name is mis-spelled on the theatrical poster as Jodi Lynn O'Keefe.
On the original theatrical poster, Janet Leigh's character was incorrectly listed as "Hattie."
The SCREAM 2 scenes on the girls' TV have continuity errors.
Although posters, advertisements and trailers only show H20 as having Dolby Digital and SDDS sound mixes, H20 was also released with a DTS sound mix for its theatrical release.
When Kerri and her boyfriend are having lunch and he goes to the bathroom, she calls the waiter over to order another drink. Each time they cut to her the glass is either in her hand or on the table.
After Charlie has been killed and Sarah is in the lift with him, his position keeps changing; first looking at her then not, then he is and finally not.
When John and Molly are running out of the building, John jumps out of the window head first, but when the camera cuts back to him, he is seen coming out feet first.
When Laurie is confessing to Will who she is, she mentions that Michael murdered Judith when she was 17. However, when Michael places the tombstone over Annie in Halloween, it reveals Judith was born November 10, 1947. Considering she was killed in October, 1963, she would actually be 15, not 17.
When the woman places the rock in front of the door, the large side of the rock is facing outward, but then when the view changes the large side is facing inward.
In the scene when Keri has just finished teaching the class, after the discussion about fate, she calls John up to give him the permission slip to go to Yosemite. As he is approaching her, there is a stand-alone chalkboard that has "Yates" (as in William Butler) incorrectly written on it. They discuss the field trip, and when it cuts back to the chalkboard, it's correctly written as "Yeats."
MISCELLANEOUS:
After Michael is burnt in HALLOWEEN II, his hands don't contain scars anymore once H20 comes around.
Michael's eyes are shot out in HALLOWEEN II, but in the rest of the series, his eyes are perfectly fine.
On the new HALLOWEEN Limited Edition DVD, there are a few mistakes. For one, in the first TV scene, they left out the MAY 1 1964 title card. Also, on the Donald Pleasence bio, they mistakenly say Donald Pleasence did the voice over in H20, which he did not, it was done by a sound-a-like.
In Holland, the name Laurie is misspelled on the H20 VHS box and on the DVD box as well. Instead of Laurie, they've spelled Lauri without the e. They've spelled Lauri without e on the subtitles too.
In the Spanish edition of H20 (original version, with subtitles in Spanish), they misspell Michael Myers as "Meyers." They also say Hattenfield, rather than Haddonfield.
In Producer's Cut of H6, check out the flashback scene of Jamie in the police station, when she goes outside to see Michael in the van, etc. When the van is leaving as the station explodes, take a look at the front of the van. You'll notice that by the way the headlights and fender are set up, it's a van that hadn't been released yet in 1989 when this scene took place. Although, you do see Michael and the Man in Black driving the same kind of van throughout the movie. Obviously, this means that the flashback scene was simply filmed in 1995 with the rest of the movie.
The mask looks different in each of the films, even though it's implied that it's supposed to be the same mask each time aside from the fourth film. Of course, the mask in H4 is supposed to be different since Michael got it from the Drug Store (after the mask had burned in the second film). But then the masks in parts 5-H20 differ again from that one.
In the HALLOWEEN comic book, there's an error on the frame where young Michael is outside his house. When he's still outside looking at his house, we see the picture through 2 eyeholes. Michael wasn't wearing the mask in this moment, he took it later. The eyeholes shouldn't be there.
see...wasn't that fun?
