I changed the references to "Halloween: Resurrection" in the description of this film because I don't feel it's appropriate. I think that when discussing the plot of each film individually, we shouldn't use the retcon established in the following sequel. In the plot of Halloween: H20, it is definitely supposed to be Michael that Laurie decapitates at the end of the film, and not a paramedic. That idea was established to allow for another sequel after the success of Halloween: H20. VertigoXpress 17:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  You're right, it wasn't Michael...in Halloween: Resurrection. In this film, it was Michael. The script of Halloween: H20 makes no mention of the switch referred to in "Resurrection", so when discussing the plot of this film you have to take it on its own terms. I'm not against mentioning somewhere else in the article that the sequel established a retcon about it NOT being Michael at the end. However, the actual plot of the film shouldn't contain references to the sequel, especially since in this case, the idea of it being a paramedic in Michael's clothes and mask was an afterthought. Can we compromise and put it in the continuity section? Wanna write it? VertigoXpress 18:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  It was NOT a paramedic in this movie! 

message: Someone thankfully just removed this before I could, quoted here for public amusement:
:"KMBC-TV called it quote "Sensational......., Smart and Non-Stop Scary......, Jamie Lee Curtis Truimpt Return....., and Finally a Sequel.......related/base/lives up to the original!!!!!."
If an American TV station actually had English that bad ("related/base/lives"??), I wouldn't consider them or their opinions a reliable source of anything.  Not that that's even remotely likely. Indium 14:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed quote 

message: I just saw the movie, and I'm pretty sure that seven people die. The two teenagers, the old woman, the teenage guy, his girlfriend, Laurie's boyfriend, and M.M. So I replaced 6 with 7, and unless it's proven otherwise, I suggest that we keep it that way.Italian Robot 04:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Body Count 

message: Is it just me or are there way, way too many punctual errors/disgusting sentences in the plot summary? Maybe it could read: 
"The movie features the return of Laurie Strode, Curtis's character from the first two Halloween films (revealed to be living under the assumed name "Keri Tate"). As Tate, Laurie has a seemingly perfect life with an intelligent son, a dedicated boyfriend, and a great career as a head mistress at a private boarding school in Northern California. She continues to be haunted by the tragic events of 1978, however, and is far from happy. To everyone else this is "just another Halloween," but Laurie Strode will never see the holiday the same way.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the events of 1978, her psychotic brother and serial killer Michael Myers appears and starts killing off her co-workers and students one by one. For the first time in two decades they meet again. Laurie manages to escape, but instead of fleeing she returns to the school to challenge Michael in a fight to the death. She finds him and attempts to kill him several times. She finally pushes him off a balcony to his apparent death, a resolution similar to the first film.
The police arrive at the scene and put Michael's corpse in an ambulance in a body bag. Laurie steals the ambulance, unaware that Michael is still alive in the back. He escapes the body bag and again attempts to kill her. She slams on the brakes, sending him smashing through the windshield onto the dark road. She then tries unsuccessfully to run him over. The vehicle violently tumbles down a steep hill. When it comes to rest Laurie is uninjured while Michael is trapped between the ambulance and a fallen tree. He reaches out to her. She reaches for his hand but pulls back, remembering everything he's done to her and her friends. In a moment of justice and ultimate resolution she beheads him with an axe. Michael's severed head rolls down the hill."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.155.39 (talk) 19:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I was reading through it, and thought it was ridiculous that she would be living with a decapitated boyfriend. I think your version is definetly better suited to that section. --Repner1 (talk) 22:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is poorly written and sourced, and requires significant attention. The article contains information that isn't formatted properly and needs to be rewritten so that it's properly formatted to Wikipiedia's standards. The "Continuity" section is one such section which is composed of bullet points rather than a well written paragraph and should be rewritten and added to the production section as it pertains to the film's production in a sense. The "Reception" section is way too short and requires significant expansion, with more reviews from notable critics to be added to it. There is also information in the article that is unsourced and either needs to be removed or given proper citations when necessary. This article, like all articles, has potential but it just needs a little work on it in order for it to meet Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed and properly sourced article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:10, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
