Quotes:

  • Ellie Grimbridge: I feel like a goldfish.
    Daniel Challis: Company town.
     
  • Conal Cochran: You don't really know much about Halloween. You thougt no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy.

    Daniel Challis: In California, you never know.
     

Trivia:

  • Michael Myers does appear briefly in this film, on a television advertising the original Halloween. It comes near the beginning when a character is drinking in a bar.
     
  • The tagline "The Night Nobody Came Home" is also a play on the original Halloween movie's tagline, "The Night HE Came Home."
     
  • A milk factory was used for the setting of the Silver Shamrock factory.
     
  • The music playing on the radio when Marge Guttman notices the tag on the floor was also played in John Carpenter's The Fog.
     
  • When Challis fills in the register at the motel office, he scans the list of names for evidence of Ellie's father's stay. All of the other names on the list are the names of the crew.
