H4

Strange lighting makes the Shape appear to have white hair during a scene in the schoolhouse.

Hoffman types "Michael M. Myers" when Michael's actual middle initial is "A."

In the final chase scene in truck, The Shape reaches into the window and rips Rachel's sweater open, but in the next shot it is back how it was, buttoned and all.

When Michael finds the picture of Laurie, it's a picture that was obviously taken behind the scenes on the first one. It couldn't be a real one, because it's of Laurie sitting with the pumpkin, but nobody was there to take the picture.

On the back of the VHS box, it says, "Two women trapped in their own home, stalked by the most dangerous creature alive." In fact, they're not trapped in their own house, it's the Sheriff's house.

At the beginning of the film, the orderly says Myers killed 16 people on Halloween night in 1978. That count seems to be a few too many.

At the Gas Station, the front of Dr. Loomis' car has four headlights and vertical/horizontal lines on the grill. When Michael blows up the gas station, though, the front of the car is different.

When Brady is trying to reload his double barrel and is shouting at Rachel and Jamie to "get up there," you can see that when Michael gets up to the same level of the stairs that Brady is on that the wall behind him is white and has some kind of decorative wall hanging or something to that effect. As the scene goes, it shows Michael, then it shows Brady fumbling to reload the gun, then a close up of Brady's hands, then back to his face, then a shot of Michael lunging toward him. The shot of Michael lunging toward him must have been a quick shot from a different scene that was just thrown in only because it was a few seconds long because if you pause it and watch it in slow motion you can see, especially on the new H4 Widescreen DVD, that the background behind Michael is of the downstairs - front door part of the house.

During the credits at the end, there is a character listed as Leslie. This person should be listed as Lindsey, there is to Leslie in the film. The mistake may have come in the fact that the actress who plays Lindsey (or Leslie as they call her in the credits) is actually named Leslie.

When Dr. Loomis and Sheriff Meeker are scared by the Halloween Pranksters with Myers Masks on, as soon as they pull out and Meeker starts talking on the radio, there is a car parked behind them. Then the camera pulls out and shows Michael Myers standing behind them -- notice the car on the left is gone!

When Jamie and Rachel are riding with the rednecks, Jamie begins the ride by sitting on Rachel's leg, against the door. When the police stop their truck, you can then see Jamie has moved over to the middle, between the driver and Rachel. When they cut back when they're driving, she's moved again back to the lap. A continuity error.

As Rachel and Jamie slide down the roof, they look down and a bike can be seen on the ground. When Jamie ends up running to Rachel later on, the bike is no longer there.

On the back cover of the video, Ridgemont is incorrectly spelled "Richmond."

In the drug store, when Rachel calls off her date, Brady asks why she didn't tell him earlier. He says, "It's 5:00 now, Rachel." It can't be 5 because she just picked Jamie up from school, so it's probably around 3 or 3:30.

The male attendant in the beginning doesn’t enter the ambulance through the back with Myers like the female attendant. But, the next shot shows him back there instead of in the front where he went.

When Loomis parks his car outside the filling station, he stops past the last gas pump. The next shot shows his car much closer and he tries to fill it up.

At the garage, after Dr. Loomis shoots at Michael and then disappears, Dr. Loomis runs to the window to look for Michael. At a closer look (even clearer on the DVD) you can see the camera man's reflection in the window.
