During the scene where Norma is leaving, she stands in front of the car from Psycho (1960). The music playing in the background at this part is also from Psycho. Janet Leigh, who plays Norma, played Marion in Psycho. The license plate on the car is also the same as the second car Marion buys in Psycho, NFB 418, which are Norman Bates' initials and lastly, Norma is the first name of Norman Bates' Mother from Psycho.
Jamie Lee Curtis considers the film a thank you note to her fans. Curtis: "Without that early career, I truly don't think I would have been an actor."
John Carpenter was originally in negotiations to be the director since Jamie Lee Curtis wanted to reunite the cast and crew of the original. It was believed that Carpenter opted out because he wanted no active part in the sequel; however, this is not the case. He had agreed to direct the movie, but his starting fee as director was $10 million, and he wanted a three-picture deal with Dimension Films. Carpenter rationalized this by saying the hefty fee was compensation for revenue he never received from the original Halloween (1978), a matter that was still a point of contention between Carpenter and producer Moustapha Akkad even after 20 years had passed. When Akkad and Dimension Film's Weinstein brothers balked at Carpenter's demands, he walked away from the project.
LL Cool J had always been a fan of the Halloween movies. His mother took him to see the original when he was just nine years old.
Even after 20 years, Jamie Lee Curtis said that seeing Michael Myers on set still scared her.
"Tony: Hasn't anyone ever told you that second-hand smoke kills? Nurse Marion: Yeah, but they're all dead."
"[During the opening credits, Dr. Sam Loomis can be heard saying a line from the original "Halloween"] Dr. Samuel 'Sam' Loomis: I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding, even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."
