9 Horror Movie Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators

Most sequel movies that come out 40 years after the original movie, with however many released in between are inevitably just as tired and pointless as the previous few. However, in 2018 Halloween proved that that trend could be broken.

The 11th movie in the franchise proved to actually give Halloween the shot in the arm these sequels are supposed to do, and was so enjoyed by audiences that one of the movie’s would-be most iconic lines completely passed them by.

This particular bit of dialogue was added into the movie in such a last-minute fashion it came after test audience screenings, meaning the director had no way of knowing exactly how it would play out in the cinema. In reality, while the audience was still screaming at what came before it, no one could hear Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie utter “Happy Halloween, Michael”.

Director David Gordon Green absolutely stands by the line, but had admitted that it was a mistake to put it in the film where he did, in the middle of what was described as a ‘ruckus’ from the audience. Had the line been put in before test screens, he would have known this and could have made the change before its theatrical release.
