Did You Know?
-Despite the fact that the movie's cover shows Danielle Harris' character Jamie wearing a clown costume, in the movie she wears a princess costume
-The store that the Man in Black gets off the bus in front of is the same store that Jamie and Rachel bought their costumes from in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
-During one scene, Donald Pleasance accidentally hit Don Shanks, breaking his nose. After that, the nose of the mask had to be cut out and replaced with a paper thin nose cut off another H5 mask. The fix on the mask can be clearly seen throughout the film
-The Man in Black's costume of mostly black clothes, such as a black long rider coat and black cowboy boots is a respectful nod to country singer Johnny Cash. The famed country singer was known as The Man in Black because he always wore black long rider coats and black boots
-Danielle Harris and Don Shanks became good friends during filming.
-Out of all the actors to play Michael, Don Shanks is the only person of American Indian ancestry to play this role
-Because Don Shanks is only 6'1'', different camera angles were used to make him seem taller
-The film had been given nearly an X rating for the level of blood, violence and gore. It was trimmed down to a more safe R rating
