This is the only movie in the Halloween series not to feature masked killer Michael Myers

Summary
-A suspicious murder-suicide in the emergency room of a hospital forces an on-call doctor to investigate it.

Did You Know?
-The only reason that Michael Myers did not appear in this movie is because this movie underperformed at the box office. So John Carpenter brought Michael Myers back in the other Halloween movies
-"London Bridge is Falling Down" was chosen as the official theme of the Silver Shamrock company because it was in the public domain, which means there is no copyrights or anything saying it can't be used
-When Ellie and Daniel register at the motel, looking for any trace of Ellie's dad staying there, the rest of the names are the crew members
-For the location of the Silver Shamrock factory, a milk factory was used
-The voice going over the intercom warning Santa Mira residents of the approaching curfew is none other than Jamie Lee Curtis
-Tom Atkins, who plays Daniel Challis and Garn Stephens, who plays Marge Guttman, were actually married at the time of the movie
-The actors who plays Cochran's robotic henchmen were found through looking for movie extras. Writer/director Tommy Lee Wallace wanted to cast redheads as the henchmen to keep in tune with the predominantly Irish theme of the movie
-Nancy Kyes, who plays Challis' ex-wife here, was pregnant with her first child during filming
-The building used as The Dublin Inn was destroyed due to a fire in the 1980s
-Ellie's father, Harry Grimbridge, checked into room 13, the most unlucky number
-When Harry Grimbridge was admitted to the hospital, he was prescribed the same drug as Dr. Loomis mentioned to Nurse Chambers in the first film. It was Thorazine, a narcotic used by medical staff to suppress mental, mood and psychotic disorders
-Nancy Kyes, who plays Challis' ex-wife and mother of his two kids, also plays Annie Brackett in the first Halloween film

If You Won the Lottery...

Do you ever what you would do if you won the lottery or came onto some money? Well, there's a million things I'd love to do if I ever won the lottery. But I would not be like some people who go crazy of they win money, like spending it on stupid expensive stuff. Considering the modest household in which I was raised, I'd probably put it in the bank, or a smarter idea, put it into some kind of trust, so that I don't get every Sally Sob Story calling me saying "I need a new heart, help me" or "Donate to kids in Africa" or something.

Here are some of things I'd probably do if I ever won the lottery:

Travel
-I'd go to places like Australia, see places like Sydney, maybe Cannes, Brisbane. Go see the sights like the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef, Ayers Rock, or Lightning Ridge. They mine for opals. My favorite stone! Or Japan, very beautiful country there, and also London. IDK why, this is just a very culturally fascinating city to me. Also, since my mom thinks I'm nuts, I would not mind maybe seeing Russia. The palaces there are just mind blowingly beautiful.

-Go to school and learn some foreign languages. Yeah, I'm really going all out on the money, huh? LOL!! I"m not an extravagant person, I'd be happy just learning some foreign languages. I'd really love to learn Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Italian

-Get a tattoo. It would have to be something cultural. Either Chinese, Japanese or some kind of girlish Irish cross tattoo or something.

-Get a car. Right now, I'm in the process of getting my license. I go for my temporary license on Friday and I'm really hoping I pass. Because I already got it planned on what kind of car I want. I want either a Mini Cooper or VW Beetle



Oooh, the green one would be nice...





I was already forewarned that if I ever get a car like this, to never park it near the house. My mom would never want to be seen in it, lmao!!
