I think I just realised how they messed it up.
The writers didn't think when calculating Laurie's age. Assuming Laurie was born the year Myers killed his sister, it would be 1980 when she turned 17, making Michael 23.
However, she was 2 when he killed his sister, making it 1978 when she turned 17. Making Michael 21.
The most simplistic of calculations could have prevented that silly mistake. They were in a rush, so I doubt anyone cared after it was completed. -

It was a goof. One that carried over into Halloween II because they were either too cheap to fix it that time or didn't notice/care. Another of the many flaws that make this film quirky. Like cigar smoke through the hedge scene, the wrench on the hand breaking the window (which miraculously fixes itself when Michael is driving around), etc.

I still think it's very surprising the error wasn't picked up long before it ended up in the credits.
Even more surprising - and less excusable for me - that the error was repeated three years later with HALLOWEEN II.
And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all. -

That's what gets me. Bigger budget and more people working on it, yet still nobody wants to fix it? Or had they still not noticed?
They had three years to notice it! I think someone was sleeping on the job or joining Carpenter for too many 6-packs!
Probably the same someone that dubbed seven gunshots into Loomis' six-shooter!

I was just thinking the same thing. Haha
Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.
