Line 11:
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Averted. During the filming of part 4, much care was taken to ensure that Danielle Harris, who played Jamie, was not frightened, especially by the actor playing Michael, who repeatedly removed his mask in order to reassure her that he was not going to hurt her.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: ''The Curse of Michael Myers'' really got butchered.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: Borders on [[You Look Familiar]] in that it occurs between the original and remake continuity. Danielle Harris, who played Jamie Lloyd in the Thorn films, takes the role of Annie in the remake and its sequel.
** The 2007 film has [[A Clockwork Orange (Film)|Alex the Droog]] as Dr. Loomis, [[One Flew Over the CuckoosCuckoo's Nest (Literature)|Billy Bibbitt]] as Sheriff Brackett, and [[Dawn of the Dead (Film)|Peter Washington]] as Big Joe Grizzly.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: Michael Myers. And we don't mean comedian [[Austin Powers|Mike]] [[WaynesWayne's World (Film)|Myers]]!
** Sam Loomis, the [[Badass]] psychologist, has the same name as Marion Crane's lover in ''[[Psycho (Film)|Psycho]]''. Considering all the parallels the two movies have, it was probably a deliberate [[Shout Out]].
* [[Playing Against Type]]: [[Donald Pleasence]] had been primarily playing villains (most famously as [[You Only Live Twice (Film)|Ernst Stavro Blofeld]]) up until this point. Also, the remake had Danny Trejo, mostly known for playing badasses, crooks, gangsters and assassins as the kindly janitor in the asylum holding Michael.
