Mistake Continuity: Dr. Loomis seems to make the trip from Haddonfield to Smith's Grove (150 miles apart) in an impossibly short time.

Mistake Continuity: The blood on Jamie's chin changes from shot-to-shot when she is being impaled on the farm equipment.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Michael Myers impales the nurse's head on a spike in the darkened hallway, we first see Michael walking mysteriously out of the darkness & in plain sight of the nurse. Then the camera angle changes to Michael's POV and he doesn't see the nurse until he walks around the corner.

Mistake Plot hole: After Tommy finds the baby in the bus station, he goes to the hospital and meets Dr. Loomis there. But why is Loomis there? In the producer's cut, he was there to look after Jamie Lloyd, but that sequence was cut from the final film, so Loomis has no reason for being there.

Mistake Plot hole: When the lady is hiding in a stall from Michael, she has the baby in her hands, even when he begins to open the stalls. Yet, she somehow managed to hide the baby in the closet across the room and get out the window unnoticed.

Mistake Continuity: In the opening of the original Halloween, the backyard of the Myers house is level with the back door leading to the kitchen. In this movie, the kitchen door is accessed by steps showing that it is high off the ground, and also means that the house is on an embankment. If this is true, why does Kara walk on completely flat ground while going by the side of the house?

Mistake Continuity: When Tommy goes back to the bus depot, he finds a blood trail that was left by Jamie when she died the previous night. Tommy's there during the day or early morning and when Tommy finds the blood in the sink, he touches it and it's still wet. Blood dries in only 4 minutes so it couldn't have been left by Jamie.

Mistake Continuity: At the bus station, Tommy finds a trail of blood left by Jamie, and also finds blood in the sink. Don't you think it would have been cleaned up by the time Tommy got there?

Mistake Revealing: When John Strode is electrocuted, his head explodes twice.

Mistake Continuity: Tommy goes to the bus station and a map of the towns of Illinois appears on the wall. Notice that Haddonfield and Smiths Grove (150 miles apart in the film) are located in between Pontiac and Dwight which are 18 miles apart in reality! That's how far apart the Amtrak stations are from each other according to the Amtrak timetable/schedule.

Mistake Continuity: Tommy plays back the recording of Jamie's call from the bus depot and hears announcements being made in the background - that is how he knows she's at the depot. Who was making the announcements? The employee was gone when she arrived and if he had returned Jamie would have asked him for help.

Mistake Plot hole: How does Michael get from his house (where he has just killed Danny's grandfather) to the campus, where he kills Barry, in only a few moments?

Mistake Continuity: Throughout the film, Tommy Doyle is not wearing a belt. But suddenly when he gets to the Maximum Security ward in Smith's Grove, he is wearing a belt and it stays on for the rest of the film.

Mistake Continuity: When Tommy is on the phone with Barry Simms, he holds the phone and types on his keyboard with his right hand simultaneously.

Mistake Continuity: Why does Michael decide to kill Barry in the first place? Was he listening to the radio and offended by the comments that he made at the beginning of the film?

Mistake Continuity: In the original film, the Myers house is very tall and thin, with skinny support posts on the porch and only 2 windows on the second floor. It is also lower to the ground. In this movie, the house (which is supposed to be the same) is considerably wider, with large supports on the porch and is higher off the ground. There is also enough room on the 2nd floor for the addition of an entire balcony.

Mistake Continuity: When John Strode goes downstairs, his hair goes from dry, to moist/wet looking and hanging down.

Mistake Continuity: When Kara, Danny, and Tommy are running from Michael, they go into the room with the dead fetus'. Kara locks the door, with there being two locks on the door (you can hear her locking both of them). But, when Michael punched the door and rips the door knob, you can see that there are two locks on it and only one hole for the bottom one to only lock. How did Kara lock the door when the upper one didn't even go to another lock?
