Dr Loomis hears of the incident, and he is confident that Myers is planning to return to Haddonfield to kill his niece. He confronts Michael in the empty gas station, but he escapes. When Loomis finally arrives in Haddonfield, the sun is down and the children have begun trick or treating. He warns the police, and they, in turn, order the entire town into a state of curfew as they hunt for Myers. A group of rednecks leaded by a man named "Earl" attempt to capture Myers for themselves. As this happens, the entire town of Haddonfield falls into a state of darkness as a blackout occurs. Can they wit stand the devil in human form?

Movie Quote(s):
- Jack Sayer: You're huntin' it, ain't ya? Yeah, you're huntin' it alright, just like me! Dr. Samuel Loomis: What are you hunting, Mr. Sayer? Jack Sayer: Apocalypse, End of the World, Armageddon. It always has a face and a name. I've been huntin' the bastard for 30 years, give or take. Came real close a time or two. Too damn close! You can't kill damnation, Mister. It don't die like a man dies!
-
Dr. Samuel Loomis: You talk about him as if he were a human being. That part of him died years ago.
-
Dr. Samuel Loomis: The state police will be here soon. Jamie: And then we'll be safe? Dr. Samuel Loomis: Yes. Jamie: You don't believe that, do you? [checks door, then pauses] Dr. Samuel Loomis: No...
-
[after all the cops at the station are slaughtered] Sheriff Ben Meeker: How could a man do this, Loomis? Tell me. Dr. Samuel Loomis: This isn't a man. Sheriff Ben Meeker: Then what is he? Tell me! What the hell are we dealing with here? Dr. Samuel Loomis: Evil.
-
Sheriff Ben Meeker: I got a town full of beer bellies running around in the dark with shot guns! Who's gonna be next?
Movie Trivia:
- Series creator John Carpenter wrote a treatment for this film, that was a more ghostly psychological approach to the Michael Myers mythos. It concerned the town of Haddonfield and what effect the events of the first two films have had on the it's citizens. This concept was later rejected by the producers in favor of the typical slasher fare, at which point in time John Carpernter bailed out of the film, making this the first film in the series to have no participation from him.
-
The girl who drove Rachel and Jamie to the costume store was named Lindsey and is approximately 17 years old. In Halloween (1978), Jamie Lee Curtis babysat a seven year old named Lindsey.
-
After viewing a rough edit it was decided that the movie was too soft, so they brought in special effects wizard John Carl Buechler for one day of extra "blood" filming. The thumb in the forehead and the redneck's head getting twisted were both done by him.
-
A construction paper cutout of Michael Myers can be seen on a door on the second floor of the school just as Jamie and Dr. Loomis climb the stairs.
-
Melissa Joan Hart auditioned for the role of Jamie.
