## Trivia

* The film features many callbacks and references not only to the original 1978 film, but to other *Halloween* films in the franchise.
	+ The opening credits are a clear homage to the opening credits of both *Halloween (1978)* and *Halloween II (1981)*, the only difference being that the pumpkin is seemingly regenerating after being left to rot, much like the franchise itself.
		- Within the credits, it reads, "Introducing Andi Matichak", which clearly mirrors Jamie Lee Curtis' credit in the original.
	+ When Allyson is sitting in class, she is being taught the same lesson Laurie was in the 1978 film. She also uses similar mannerisms and looks out the window to see Laurie watching her from across the street, much like Laurie looked out the window to see Michael watching her in the original.
		- Allyson's teacher is also voiced by P.J. Soles who portrayed Lynda Van der Klok in the 1978 film.
	+ The characters of Vicky and Dave are meant as homages to the characters Annie Brackett, Lynda Van der Klok and Bob Simms.
		- They are both the best friends of Allyson.
		- They are dating each other, much like Lynda and Bob were in the original.
		- Dave's death is extremely similar to Bob's as they are both stabbed so deep they are hung against a wall.
		- After Vicky is murdered by Michael, her corpse is covered with a ghost costume, similar to how Michael wore a ghost costume with Bob's glasses in order to fool and kill Lynda in the original.
	+ When Dana enters the gas station, a cooler can be seen that is an exact replica of the cooler from outside the gas station in *Halloween: H20*. The sequence in the gas station bathroom altogether is an homage to the gas station scene in *H20*.
	+ Dave's nickname for his wooden horse, Tate, is a reference to Laurie Strode's alias in *Halloween: H20*, Keri Tate.
	+ During the final fight, when Laurie is thrown off the balcony by Michael and lands in the yard but disappears after he looks away mirrors the final scene of the 1978 film where Michael disappears after being shot off a balcony by Dr. Loomis.
