Trivia:

According to Marianne Hagan, she almost did not receive the leading role of Kara Strode - Miramax Films purportedly did not like her physical appearance, deeming her "too thin", and her chin "too pointy".

Goofs:

Anachronisms: During the flashback scene at the beginning of the film when Jamie is being taken by the man in black away from the police station, she is forced into a mid 1990's model Ford conversion van. Since the scene took place in 1989, this model wouldn't have existed, as the Ford vans that were built during the 1980s had rectangular-shaped grilles instead of the trapezoidal-shaped one that was shown.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Jamie Lloyd: Oh god Michael, please don't hurt me.

It Was A Really Good Film, It Could Have Been Better

This was a really interesting Halloween film. I wasnt to thrilled with the whole Thorn theory but it still makes for a good film. I liked getting to see Tommy Doyle back but sadly Donald Pleasance died right after shooting. The film had a really REALLY bad director who didnt give a flip about the series, from what I heard treated Donald bad, and wouldnt let Danielle Harris come back as Jamie. Its like he was just trying to bring down the film, but I still liked it. There were alot of cuts and music changes and if you're lucky you can get the Producers Cut which features over 40 min. of never before scenes. With those scenes it turns into a whole new movie. Check it out if you have the chance.
