Here’s a still-frame from the YouTube video posted above. I must say, this appears to be an original addition to the house itself rather than something that was added in production. I suspect this back portion of the house was removed sometime shortly before it was almost demolished and then moved down the street. Does anyone have a source on this addition being added during production of the film?

Well here is this excerpt from Kenny’s myers house NC website:

“As a result of the relocation, the small addition to the back of the house for the filming of HALLOWEEN had to be removed, but other than that, the house appears today exactly as it did in the classic 1978 film.”

But I’m unsure of where he got that too. This is just one of those things that has been a “fact” for all these years, but many of those long running facts have been disproven so who knows lol. It’s possible that it was said in a documentary or something, so I’ll keep searching!

I’m going with fandom urban legend myself. That section is way too big to be an addition by production, especially on their paltry budget. They’re not pouring concrete for the base, and building walls, and roofing it. I’d say it’s an original part of the house. If anything, they may have simply removed the door for the camera, thus creating the legend.

All great points. I’d also like to mention, what would even be the point of adding this elaborate addition? The only time they even filmed back there was for a single shot and it was only to walk through the back door to gain entrance to the house. I’m certain this was an authentic addition added by one of the owners over the decades the house stood there.

I contacted Kenny for more info. According to him the original house plans didn’t include a kitchen. This could very well be why it was added to give Michael the ability to get his knife.

Of course the other option being that it was added at some point and removed between filming and the purchase/move of the house to its present location which is entirely likely as well.

I was always under the impression it was an add on that was done before the film and when Margraves moved the house he didn’t take the addition just the historical original house.
