details

• Was first named "Halloween: The Homecoming" but producers wanted a title that said Michael Myers is alive so in Feburary 2002, the film was officially named "Halloween: Resurrection."
  
  
• Was originally set for a release date of September 21st 2001, but producers at Dimension Films wanted the film to be stronger so re-shoots took place from September to October 2001.
  
  
• Whitney Ransick and Dwight H. Little turned down the chance to direct.
  
  

• Jacinda Barrett was originally cast in the role of Sara Moyer but dropped out shortly before production began.
  
  
• Director Rick Rosenthal previously directed Halloween II (1981) - 21 years earlier.
  
  
• Bianca Kajlich was originally cast in the role of Jenna Danzig.
  
  
• Katee Sackhoff originally was supposed to portray Donna Chang.
  
  
• The name Jen Danzig is a reference to Glenn Danzig, the singer of the former Misfits leader whom wrote and sung the songs Halloween and Halloween II before the original movie was released. The two songs have little to do with the movies since their lyrics do not even touch the main plot.
  
  
• 'Tyra Banks (I)''s character's death was cut. You can still see the aftermath in the movie.
  
  
• A picture of Josh Hartnett, who played Laurie Strode's son John in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), can be seen on the wall above Laurie's bed in the sanitarium.
  
  
• Producers considered Danielle Harris who played Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and Halloween 5 (1989) for a role in Halloween: Resurrection.
  
  
• Michael Myers is not given credit for any of the murders that occur in Halloweens' 4, 5, or 6. A sanitarium resident even notes that Myers was not heard from for the twenty years between the events that occur in Halloween II (1981) and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998).
  
  
• Bianca Kajlich cannot scream and her screams had to be dubbed in post production.
  
  
• In the first scene at the college, Sara Moyer (Bianca Kajlich) is shown twirling her hair, much like Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) does in the class room scene in the original Halloween.
  
  
• Jamie Lee Curtis agreed to do her part, only to make sure her character, Laurie Stode (or herself) wouldn't appear in another sequel.
  
  
• The Halloween: Resurrection trailer was first seen before Jason X (2001) which was released on the 26th of April 2002.
  
  
• cameos etc DIRCAMEO(Rick Rosenthal): a college professor.
  
  
• Jamie Lee Curtis was contractually obligated to do at least a 30-second cameo, but she liked the script so much that she increased her involvement in the opening scene.
  
  
• The name of the psychology professor at Haddenfield University is Dr. Mixter. This was also name of the doctor in Halloween II (1981) that treated Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and was killed by Michael Myers with a needle in the eye.
  
  
• Three endings were shot regarding the fate of Freddie Harris (Busta Rhymes).
  
  
• Several new endings were written during production and the cast was never sure how the film was actually going to end. Four different endings were filmed, and the director wanted the studio to ship a different ending to each theater, a technique used before during the theatrical release of Clue (1985). However, the studio disagreed and the endings now appear on the DVD and the Internet.
