Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, to kill again.
Tommy: Laurie, what's the bogeyman? Laurie: There's no such thing.
Laurie: I saw Mr. Riddle in his backyard, he was watching me. Annie: Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie! Mr. Riddle is eighty-seven! Laurie: He can still watch. Annie: That's probably all he can do.
[After Michael falls off the balcony] Laurie: Was that the bogeyman? Dr. Loomis: As a matter of fact... it was!
Laurie: Lynda, if this is a joke, I'll kill you!
[After yelling a smart remark to Michael Myers] Annie: Geez, can't he take a joke? Laurie: You know what, Annie? One of these days you're going to get us all into deep trouble.
Trivia:
The performance of Halloween's musical score is credited to "The Bowling Green Philharmonic." There is no Philharmonic in Bowling Green. The "orchestra" is actually John Carpenter and assorted musical friends.
Tommy's Halloween costume is an Alphan uniform from "Space: 1999".
According to screenwriter / producer Debra Hill, the character of Laurie Strode was named after John Carpenter's first girlfriend.
