I think this info is true,

John Carpenter named the character Michael Myers after a bully he met as a kid.

Great topic Benny! Thanks Man!

Actually, the REAL Michael Myers was a European Film Distributor that released Assault on Precinct 13 in the UK and the rest Europe to critical acclaim. The film went on to make Carpenter a bit of cash, and because of that, Carpenter named the killer after him.

Cool!
ya learn somthing new everday, thanks buddy.

LOL! No worries! I found out when the real Michael Myers passed away in '97 when I was at film school. Variety magazine took out a full page ad to send their condolences, and I was like, “What? Michael Myers died?” and then I read on…

Great topic, everyone, keep 'em coming!!!

.The Character Laurie Strode was named after John Carpenter’s first girlfrend

.Debra Hill played Michael Myers at age 6 when we were seeing the movie from his eyes, she was chosen because she has the hands of a 6 yr old

At the end of Halloween 2. When Laurie is being rolled out . Dick Warlock is playing a patrolman walking around the parking lot talking to people as laurie is loaded in the ambulance.

Good one!

Thanks everyone for playing along, I really appreciate it.
Here’s another fact:

In Halloween there is a poster of a painting by James Ensor in Laurie’s bedroom. Ensor was an expressionist who often portrayed human figures wearing grotesque masks!

thanks bro!

i like this topic, it’s alot of fun.

what about laurie walking home after just bumping into sheriff brackett. Suddenly the sidewalk from Montrose ‘‘which is dry’’, to wet on oxley.

I love this stuff, let’s keep it rolling. Did you know that Dean Cundey, who by the way is my all time favorite cinematographer, was the cinematographer on Jurrassic Park, where he also played as a dock hand. Dean is a cool guy! He DP’d most of Carpenter’s fims

[Caleb_Croft]

That’s right guys Thank’s for the fun topic and interesting read! This is what it’s all about
Later,

glad thats cleared!!

[blackesteyes8696]

I listened to an interview with Dean Cundey and he did most of the interior lighting of the film, that was at night, during the day time in H1!

Great post, Lantern - thanks for bringing some FUN back

@strangerathome

This is the kind of stuff I like to read about 'round here. FUN indeed. Thanks Benny and Kaizu…

Thanks for the support guys, I hope this thread can get even half the replies all the negative ones seem to produce over and over again.

Here’s another fact I thought was cool:

• In Halloween II when the two teenagers come up to Loomis and the Deputy at the Myer’s house to inform them Ben Tramer is missing, one of the boys is Dick’s son Billy Warlock. His other son Lance is the kid with the boombox who runs into Michael as he is on his way to Haddonfield Memorial in pursuit of Laurie.

I never knew this…Very cool. Which one of them is Billy?

there’s actually a hidden face on the cover of the original halloween

The hand forms a sideways face. The first knuckle forms eye sockets, the second forms a nose, and the webbing between the third and fourth knuckle form an open mouth. The overall face is suppose to look like its screaming or in shock.

Anyone else see it?

Yeah, you can see a face, matrixing… I doubt that it was intentional though. Cool

Im pretty postive that was intentional. It’s a bit too prominent not to be.

My god. After spending countless hours staring at this image, this is the first I’ve actually seen it…Awesome…

Nope just matrixing, it’s not prevalent enough to be intentional, but that’s just my opinion. It’s about as intentional as the faces in the clouds, so what makes you think it was purposely done?

I was told it was

[NY_GHOUL]

In the closing montage shots at the very end of Halloween, you can quickly see Michael carrying Nancy by the side of the house.
