10 Horror Movie Mistakes You Can Never Un-see

There are very few films as scary as John Carpenter’s classic slasher Halloween. Released in 1978, the terrifying tale of the night HE came home provided the blueprint for the slasher sub genre for the rest of cinema history.

Masked, hulking, wordless killer? Check.

Resilient final girl heroine? Check.

Confusing, time zone-hopping setting?

Er... well, this one was most likely unintentional, but it’s there.

When Laurie and Alice leave the hardware shop after school, it’s early afternoon, but by the time she’s reached this faraway babysitting appointment, it’s early night time. This is October in Illinois, not December in Edinburgh, so just how far does our original final girl Laurie live from the kids she’s babysitting?

Either Laurie has been walking for miles, making her ability to fend off Michael later in the night even more impressive, or she took a short flight to the house and crossed a few time zones in the process. In which case it better be a lucrative babysitting gig even before the masked murderer shenanigans.
