  The kid who died, Ben Tramer was the kid she said she wanted to take to the dance in the first movie.

  John Carpenter originally didn't want to do a sequel to Halloween because he felt that there was no story left to tell. He came up with the idea of an anthology film series set on Halloween with a different story each time, which is why Halloween III: Season of the Witch had no connection to the first film. But the studio wanted a sequel, and Carpenter and his partner, Debra Hill, agreed to work on the sequel since they didn't see much money from the box office returns for the first film. Carpenter's original idea was for Michael Myers to return years later and stalk a 20-something Laurie Strode in an apartment complex, but the studio insisted on a sequel that picked up right where the original left off, so Carpenter and Hill wrote Halloween II as a direct sequel, although Carpenter admitted that he didn't have many ideas and he wrote the script while drinking six packs of beer for inspiration. Rick Rosenthal was hired to direct the sequel as Carpenter was busy working on Escape from New York at the time and had no interest in directing the sequel.

  The teen who they thought was Michael Myers that got hit by the police car was the same person who Laurie's friend tried to set her up with in the first Halloween, Ben Tramer.

  Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence reuniting at the end always fills me with joy, as does the explosive final scene that feels so beautifully definitive.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPpzbAwY2PM&amp;t=1283">21:23</a> - That is the nurse who was in the car with Dr. Loomis in the first movie when they were driving up to the Mental Hospital and all of the patients were wandering around on the grounds at night in the rain.

  The hallway in the hospital is dark because that’s how it was back then. They had strict visiting hours and insisted on patients getting rest. Now, they leave the lights on and bother you every hour despite more sophisticated monitoring equipment.

  That kid with the razor in his gums stems from an old urban legend about someone who use to put razors in apples doing Halloween. &nbsp;Several movies depicted this.

  There&apos;s an alternate ending where Jimmy (Lance Guest) wakes up in the ambulance next to Laurie, and they hold hands, thankful to have survived.
