Line 19:
* [[Shout-Out]]: A large number of them in the first film. To give but one example, Sam Loomis was the name of a character in ''[[Psycho]]''.

** [[Clarissa Explains It All|Melissa Joan]] [[Sabrina the Teenage Witch|Hart]] auditioned to play Jamie.
** The series was originally supposed to be an anthology of unrelated stories about Halloween, but the villain of the first movie became so popular that the ''Halloween'' series essentially became the ''Michael Myers'' series. Carpenter tried to resurrect the concept with ''[[Halloween III: Season of the Witch|Season of the Witch]]'' (which is why Michael, Laurie, and Dr. Loomis aren't in it), but audiences were so baffled by the [[In Name Only]] sequel that the idea was dropped.
** Also, [[Peter Cushing]] was the first choice to play Dr. Loomis, but [[Star Wars|after recently appearing in ''another'' little independent film,]] his asking price went higher than the studio was willing to pay. Not that [[Donald Pleasence]] didn't do a stellar job, but one wonders how Cushing would have tackled the role...
