Lady,
The scene where Michael is just standing there staring at the kid was Debra Hill in the costume!
That is the type of information, I wish I never knew aboutIt kinds ruins the scene ever since I heard about it, knowing a little girl is under the mask -

In her own words, the Shape shrank. It was also her hands grabbing the knife in the beginning of the film. Remember also, that Tommy Lee Wallace played Michael when he punched through the door of the Wallace house and the closet in the Doyle house. He knew how to break it in one take. On the contrary, I like that they told us who was who, it's a neat what to look for moment, an A HA moment. You can definitely tell it's Wallace grunting in the mask in the closet now, not Castle.
Trivia. Doesn't bother me a bit.

Dave,
I saw that Tommy Lee Wallace played THE SHAPE breaking in the closetthere was always something different about ithis head made the mask look a little more like William Shatner. Nick Castle has a thin face with a big nose that gave the mask a unique look. It also changed the look in Halloween II since h didn't play him. -

I was born in 86, I didn't see the film until sometime in the late 90's on VHS.
To give some context, I was really beginning to explore the horror genre for the first time. "Scream" came out in 96', when I was 10, and that beep floored me. It was the catalyst for me getting into horror.
One day my parents came home with a copy of "Halloween". I begged my mom to let me watch it. She warned me that it was the scariest movie she had ever seen, telling me of how terrified the entire audience at the theatre was when she saw it on release.
The anticipation built up, I finally took the VHS from the sleeve and watched "Halloween". The movie started, the music set the mood and I prepared for a murder-fest.
"That was boring!" was my initial pubescent response.
All that I remember taking away from it was that there was one cool kill, and almost no blood. The hyperbolic nature of "Scream" unfortunately lead to myself finding it boring.
Many years later I re-watched it after gaining appreciation for the craft of film, and an appreciation for the influence of "Halloween" in the slasher sub-genre. Now I feel like I can safely say this is one of the most effective horror films ever made. Even if you don't like the film, you can not deny the impact this film had.
This is a yearly watch now.
