The movie's novelization was published in 1982 by science-fiction writer Dennis Etchison under the pseudonym Jack Martin. Despite the movie's critical failure, the book became a best-seller and was even reissued two years after the movie's release, in 1984.
John Carpenter didn't plan on having Michael Myers in another Halloween movie, only the first. He wanted a different Halloween related story each time, but after the first Halloween (1978) was a success, producers forced him to use Myers again. He did, but killed off Myers and Loomis to be done with them. Then he produced Season of the Witch to get back to his original plan, but at that point, people were expecting Myers again, so it failed. Carpenter then sold the rights years later, because he wasn't interested in doing more Myers. The new owners then brought Myers and Loomis back in 1988 with little explanation how they survived.
Using the original molds, the skull, witch, and jack-o'-lantern masks seen in the movie were mass-produced by Don Post Studios and sold in retail stores to promote the movie's release.
The song "London Bridge is Falling Down" was chosen as the Silver Shamrock jingle because this was in the public domain.
(at around 28 mins) When Challis fills in the register at the motel office, he scans the list of names for evidence of Ellie's father's stay. Most of the other names on the list are the names of the crew.
"Conal Cochran: Enjoy the horror-thon, Doctor, and don't forget to watch the big giveaway afterwards. Daniel Challis: Why, Cochran, why? Conal Cochran: Do I need a reason? Mr. Kupfer was right, you know. I do love a good joke, and this is the best ever: a joke on the children. But there's a better reason. You don't really know much about Halloween. You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy. [pauses] Conal Cochran: It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting in our houses of wattles and clay. The barriers would be down, you see, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in to sit by our fires of turf. [pauses] Conal Cochran: Halloween... the festival of Samhain! The last great one took place three thousand years ago, when the hills ran red with the blood of animals and children. Daniel Challis: Sacrifices. Conal Cochran: It was part of our world... our craft. Daniel Challis: Witchcraft. Conal Cochran: To us, it was a way of controlling our environment. It's not so different now... it's time again. In the end, we don't decide these things, you know; the planets do. They're in alignment, and it's time again. The world's going to change tonight, Doctor, I'm glad you'll be able to watch it. And... Happy Halloween."
"Daniel Challis: [last lines; on the phone with the TV network; the Silver Shamrock commercial begins] If it goes on, it means the death of millions of people, everyone watching, don't you understand that? Well... well say it's a bomb then, say whatever you want, just get it off the air! Please, you jus... No, no I can't prove it, you gotta believe me! Believe me! Take it off the air now, please! You've got to, it... Announcer: [the commercial is interrupted] Please excuse the interruption, we're having technical problems. Please stand by. [kid changes channel. The commercial is interrupted] Announcer: We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by. [kid changes channel again, the commercial plays and shows no signs of stopping] Daniel Challis: The third channel, it's still on. Please, take off the third channel. The third channel, it's still running. Stop it, please, for God's sake, please stop it. There's no more time! Please stop it. Stop it now. Turn it off! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!"
