 Dr. Samuel Loomis: These eyes will deceive you, they will destroy you. They will take from you, your innocence, your pride, and eventually your soul. These eyes do not see what you and I see.

Trivia
Oliver Stone was rumored to be attached to this project before he decided to make World Trade Center (2006).
At one point Dimension Studios considered making a crossover film featuring Pinhead from the Hellraiser (1987) series, following in the footsteps of Newline Cinema`s horror crossover Freddy vs. Jason (2003). A poll was held on the official site, but response from fans was negative and the studio dropped the concept.
The movie`s production was delayed due to the death of Moustapha Akkad, the producer of all 8 previous movies. Akkad died of severe injuries as a result from the terrorist attacks at Jordan in 2005.
Before deciding to go with Rob Zombie`s version, the studio was about to green light "Halloween: The Missing Years", which would have been a prequel, set within Michael Myers` early days at the Asylum.
This is third Halloween film that Danielle Harris has been in. She first appeared in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and Halloween 5 (1989) as Jamie Lloyd, daughter of Laurie Strode. (Her character was re-cast in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), and then killed off.)
#
# One of the most complex scenes in the film was shot on Monday, February 26 2007, on the campus of Los Angeles City College. The day`s shooting facilitated the use of 160 extras and about 100 crew people.
#
# In an early scene in the film, the movie White Zombie (1932) is playing on the TV. The band ‘White Zombie’, whose name comes from the film, is where Director Rob Zombie first gained attention in the 1980s and 1990s.
Adrienne Barbeau`s role was cut from the final finished film.
The hoodie Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) wears is from `Sheri Moon``s personal clothing line, Total Skull.
While calling 9-1-1 to get help for the injured Annie, Laurie identifies the street she is on as "Winchester Road". "Winchester" is the name of the production company which produced the horror classic The Thing from Another World (1951) by Howard Hawks. The movie prominently appears on the TV during a horror movie marathon on both this version of "Halloween" and the original film by `John Carptenter (I)`. Carpenter later remade "The Thing". This was Rob Zombie`s nod to the originals and remakes of both films.
#
# The inclusion of the plot line about Michael Meyers` early days at the mental institution under the care of Sam Loomis is a nod to a plot line added in by John Carpenter for the TV viewing of the original Halloween (1978). As told by Carpenter, when the original film was first sold to TV, they demanded added scenes to replace the edited portions of the murder scenes. So Carpenter recalled `Donald Pleasance`, the original Sam Loomis to film scenes of him at the hospital taking care of Michael.
#
# Heather Bowen was a finalist for a walk-on role through a contest on the official "Halloween" Web site. She won overall through a lottery-style drawing by Moustapha Akkad at the Haddonfield 25 Fan Convention.
In the opening scene of the movie, the song "God of Thunder" by `KISS` is played and young Michael Myers is seen wearing a KISS t-shirt. KISS is a major influence on Rob Zombie`s music career and the inspiration for the make-up and costuming for his band White Zombie.
#
# William Forsythe actually injured his leg prior to shooting, which is why his leg is in a cast in the film. In the script the character only had an arm brace, but Forsythe`s leg injury was also worked into the film.
The movie was not released in the U.S. on Halloween weekend, as was the original, for fear of going head to head with Saw IV (2007). It was instead released two months earlier on the last weekend in August 2007.
#
# The film underwent re-shoots as a result of poor test screenings. These included a new escape for Micheal from the hospital as well as an alternate ending.
#
# Danielle Harris was 29 years old when she was cast as the teenage Annie Brackett. The movie was released nearly three months after her 30th birthday.
`The Misfits were one of Rob Zombie`s influences during his musical career, and the band`s track `Halloween II` is playing on the stereo during the kill scene while the couple are having sex in Michael`s childhood home. Also, Tommy`s costume is that of the Crimson Ghost character `The Fiend`. This character has been used as The Misfit`s band mascot since the band`s inception.
When talking about Michael, Ronnie says "He`s probably gonna end up cutting his dick and balls off and changing his name to Michel." Daeg Faerch would later play a character named "Michel" in Hancock (2008).
Skyler Gisondo auditioned for the role of 10-year-old Michael Myers, but was cast as Tommy Doyle instead.
Max Van Ville auditioned for the role of Steve, but was cast as Paul instead.
SPOILER: An alternate ending was shot, then changed by Zombie. In it, Loomis survives and Myers is gunned down by Brackett`s men in front of the Myers house.
SPOILER: Danny Trejo`s death scene was cut from the work print after studio heads complained about it. Zombie lobbied to them, stating it was important to show how brutal and uncompassionate the character truly is. In the final cut, Zombie won and was allowed to put the scene in.
#
# SPOILER: In the work print of the film, an alternate escape scene was used. In it Michael begins his escape from the institution by killing 2 young orderlies while they are molesting a catatonic female inmate.
The movie was not released in the U.S. on Halloween weekend, as was the original, for fear of going head to head with Saw IV (2007). It was instead released two months earlier on the last weekend in August 2007.
