Championing Lowbrow Since 1973
Archive of them shitty movie details I done noticed.
While in captivity in the Silver Shamrock factory, Dr. Challis is forced to watch the Horrorthon Movie, Halloween. This is not a subtle nod that this is another Halloween movie despite it’s lack of Michael Myers.
Dr. Loomis tells Marion, “Samhain… isn’t goblins or ghosts or witches.” This is a subtle nod to the clever change coming in Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. That is, the film Halloween will be about a mad Irishman making three deadly children’s masks (jack-o-lantern, skull, and witch) and not Michael Myers (in a William Shatner mask).
I tried to get tickets to Haddonfield High’s prom by calling the listed number, 779-6861. I was thwarted because the number was incorrect, just like all the phone numbers strippers—who clearly loved me in the Boom Boom Room—have given me as I followed them to their cars at the end of their shift.
The following people all play themselves in the film: Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, John Saxon, Wes Craven, Robert Shaye, and Freddy Krueger. They play themselves because this is a real story Wes Craven made up.
As John Doe is dying, he says, “It’s not a boy,” in reference to Freddy’s child. This is quite insensitive as females prefer to be called she, not it.
