Halloween (1978)
1 character mistake
Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Charles Cyphers, Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Kyes, P.J. Soles
Character mistake: When Laurie and Annie are on their way to babysit, and they see Annie's dad, the cop, as soon as they pull up to say hi and roll the window down, he mixes the two names up, and calls Laurie Annie, and Annie Laurie. You'd think he knows his own daughter's name. (00:32:10)
Continuity mistake: When Annie and Laurie leave the hardware store to go to their babysitting jobs it is broad daylight. When they reach the houses apparently just a few blocks away, it is already dark.
New today Suggested correction: Who says they drove directly there? The sun wasn't setting yet when Annie picked her up and was just beginning to at the hardware store. They smoked some weed, then spent an hour or so cruising around before their babysitting jobs began.
Dr. Wynn: Now, for God's sake, he can't even drive a car.
Loomis: He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons.
Trivia: Michael Myers' mask is a Captain Kirk mask painted white with ruffled hair and a few other tweaks.
