Halloween 1978
License plates in the original film have California tags, although they should be in Illinois!
When Loomis stops to make a phone call on his trip to Haddonfield, snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance, although the film makes place in the flat land of Illinois.
As Laurie walks home from school, the pavement changes from dry to wet.
The door to the Doyle house appears to be on the right for both sides of the door.
In the scene where Laurie sees Michael behind a bush, smoke from director John Carpenter's cigarette can be seen blowing through the shot.
In the Wallace house, as Lynda and Bob leave the living room to go upstairs, Lynda trips over a dolly track.
Michael has his age listed as "age 23" in the credits, where he was actually 21 in the film.
Michael supposedly doesn't get his mask and knife until after school is over when he brakes into the Hardware Store. He is seen with it on, however, before that when standing outside of Laurie's school.
The Wallace house has the door handle on the left side of the door, on both sides! Impossible. Also, the door appears to be far to the right side of the house. When Lynda and Bob (and even Annie for that matter) enter the house, off to the immediate right is the living room. It's impossible since there's no room. These two goofs are because the interior of the Wallace house was filmed elsewhere.
When the kids trip Tommy Doyle, all three run off to the left. In the next shot, only two kids run to the left while one runs toward the camera.
When Laurie escapes Lindsay's house at the end, she breaks out a pane of glass in the door to move the rake. The fake glass is easily visible through the light.
Keeping with the last flub, when the glas is shattered, shards of glass are left sticking out of the frame of the door, but the camera cuts away and when it comes back there are absolutely no shards at all, just a clean wooden frame.
When Lindsey is watching the horror movie on T.V. and the phone starts to ring, the camera starts to pan over to the phone. During the pan you can see someone' shadow moving on the wall behind Lindsey. Someone got in the lighting behind the camera.
On the back of the HALLOWEEN box, Myers is spelled INcorrectly as Meyers. The same goes for a track on the original soundtrack.
When Michael is chasing Laurie at the end, she runs out the back door and to the RIGHT. But, when there is a cut to the front of the house, Laurie comes running from the left side instead.
The pumpkin in front of the Wallace house seems to change from time to time. When Bob carries Lynda into the house, it's a normal looking pumpkin. When Laurie walks up to the house at the end, however, the pumpkin is different. This one is a lot wider and shorter.
A continuity error occurs when Michael is stalking Tommy at the school. When Tommy first starts to walk away, there are a few cars parked across the street from where he's headed. There is a cut once Michael gets into his car, and that's when all of those cars are gone.
When Annie drops Laurie off at the Doyle house, their front doors are filled with small windows. Throughout the rest of the movie, the door is different.
When Michael is carrying Annie back to the house, her head is on the left while her feet are to the right. Then they cut to Tommy's reaction. When they cut back, her body is now facing the opposite way. Her head is on the right side and the legs are to the left.
Take notice of the scene where the gutter smashes into the window, scaring Loomis and Brackett half to death. The rest of the movie, when we see that front window, the gutter is nowhere to be seen, when it should be hanging over the window.
When Bob picks Lynda up in his arms, he leaves the van door open. Then, they go into the Wallace house. After Lynda is murdered, Laurie Strode goes across the street to inspect everything, and when she passes the van, you can clearly see that the door has been closed.
When Micheal follows Annie and Laurie in the car, he parks only about one or two doors down from Lindsey's house (if that). Then later, when Loomis is standing in front of the Myers house, he turns around and all of a sudden sees Micheal's car. Since Michael never had time to move the car, it could never have popped up in this new location.
On the box for the Limited Edition of the movie by Anchor Bay, Debra Hill's name is spelled wrong (Deborah).
Palm trees can be seen at numerous times throughout the film. Obviously, palm trees can't grow in Illinois. This happened, though, because it was filmed in California.
When Lynda, Annie, and Laurie are walking home from school, Laurie says the Wallace's house is 3 houses down from the Doyle's. In the film, though, the houses are actually shown across the street from each other.
Even though Michael's just a child at the beginning of the film, his P.O.V. makes him appear as though he's a grown adult. This is evident when he reaches for the knife and when he watches Judith's boyfriend leave, for example.
Watch the where Laurie barely escapes the Shape and Tommy barely unlocks the door in time. After she tells him to go upstairs, she notices the open window/door next to her and sees the curtain blowing in the wind. In the new DVD version, you can see a large wind fan behind the window, creating the wind to move the curtain.
When Laurie turns around right before she runs into Brackett, the bush behind her changes between the cuts. It goes from being untrimmed to perfectly trimmed between the two angles.
As soon as Laurie gets back inside the Doyle's house after The Shape is chasing her, she tells Tommy to hurry. Look at the light switches on the wall, Both switches are already pointing down. When she slides her fingers down over them, they don't go anywhere (since they're already pointed "down," or off) yet the lights still dim. Obviously, this is a flub. The lights were already pointed off, but then the crew members would shut the lights off when her fingers would go over the switch.
When little Michael is about to kill his sister, you can see the clock on the kitchen wall and another clock in the living room show it's about 9:25pm. As Michael walks up the steps, there are 10 loud chimes that come from the clock, signifying it's 10pm. Without a cut, there's no way it took 35 minutes to walk up those steps!
You can see a wrench attached to Michael's hand when he breaks the car window when at Smith's Grove. In the film, Michael's supposed to be doing it with his bare hand.
(Best seen with the new Limited Edition DVD) During the scene where Annie and Laurie are walking away from the bush where Laurie had seen the Shape disappear behind moments earlier, hit the pause button. If you hit slo-mo, look at the front porch of the house directly behind the bush. You'll see that there's a man (possibly crew members) watching the whole scene being filmed. He's standing and you can see him above the bush.
(Best seen with the new Limited Edition DVD) After Michael looks in the window at Judith and her boyfriend, the camera pulls back and goes back around to the front of the house. When it first starts to pull back, if you look on the porch, hanging outside of the window are a whole bunch of electrical wires leading into the house for the lighting equipment. When he gets inside to where that window is, the wires are gone. A crew member obviously moved the wires out of sight while the filming was taking place on the other side of the house.
Set in October in Illinois, the leaves should not be green.
When Annie and Laurie are driving and The Shape is driving behind them {take note you need a widescreen version of the film to see this flub} the mirror in the car between Laurie and Annie keeps changing its position without anyone of them messing with it.
After Annie hangs up the phone from talking with Laurie (when Annie spills something on herself and then proceeds to the laundry room), the movie "The Thing" just begins. But when Annie returns from putting her clothes in the wash and hurries Lindsay over to the Doyle residence, you can hear in the background the TV announcer stating to stay tuned for the horrifying conclusion of "The Thing".
Lynda tells Bob to go upstairs, to the first door on the left. After Annie, Lynda, and Bob are killed, Laurie goes to look for them. She goes upstairs and passes the first door, going almost to the end of the hall before entering the bedroom. Even though Michael could've moved them to another room, he probably wouldn't haved moved the phone and pumpkin that was in the room with Bob and Lynda while they had sex.
Annie calls Laurie and tells her that she'll pick her up at 6:00. However,
when she picks Laurie up it's still daylight when it should be dark at that time of year.
