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.
Dr. Loomis: I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blind, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the DEVIL'S eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... EVIL!
Tommy: Laurie, what's the bogeyman? Laurie: There's no such thing.
Laurie: Lynda, if this is a joke, I'll kill you!
Nurse Chambers: Don't you think it would be better if you referred to "it" as "him"? Dr. Loomis: If you say so. Nurse Chambers: Your compassion's overwhelming, doctor.
Sheriff Brackett: It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare.
Halloween takes place primarily in fictional Haddonfield, Illinois. Haddonfield, NJ is the home town of screenwriter Debra Hill.
Donald Pleasence's role as Sam Loomis is named after a character of the same name in Psycho.
