Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Michael sticks the pitchfork through Spitz, he was on top of his girlfriend. Shots afterwards of Spitz show puncture wounds that went clear through his stomach, theoretically his g/f would have been harmed by this (especially considering the positioning of both of their bodies), but she wasn't. And no argument can be made that the pitchfork's blades weren't long enough, since they were probably over 12" long a piece. [Like the submitter says, it's only theoretical that the girl would be harmed by the pitchfork. Maybe Michael chose to not stick the tines in long enough to harm her, maybe he misjudged and did not use enough force to penetrate both bodies.]

Entry During the scene where Dr. Loomis is at the police station, he tells Sheriff Meeker to look at his burned face and says to him, "this is what I endured 12 years ago (Halloween in 1978)." Now remember, the events of Halloween 5 take place on October 31, 1989, and a year earlier (Halloween 4), Michael came back looking for Jaime on October 31, 1988. Lastly, after being shot at the end of Halloween 4, we know Michael was taken in by some fisherman for exactly one year, that was explained at the beginning of Halloween 5. Therefor, Dr. Loomis should have said 11 years ago, not 12. [Character mistake by dr. Loomis.]

Entry The Halloween movies are set in Illinois. When the teens are at the party, they are talking about how some of them were going skinnydipping (even though we never see this scene). Even if it was set in southern Illinois, there would be no way anyone could swim outdoors on October 31. The water would be far too cold. Especially at night and especially while naked. [Ever hear of the Polar Bear Club? They're teens, they're likely to do something reckless and stupid. Plus, we don't know that they're going to stay in the water for long, or change their minds when they realize how cold it is.]
Entry When Michael (dressed up as Mikey) brakes the car when Tina asks him to stop at the store, you see that when he brakes, the rear red lights don't come on. [You don't see the brake lights because he uses the e-brake.]
Entry Myers chases Jamie around the farm & tries to run her down with a car. Yet this little girl is able to outrun the car for about 5 minutes of screen time. [It makes sense that the car was slowed down by the bushes, trees, rough terrain etc. Jamie is not affected by these.]
Entry When Jamie first climbs into the lauundry chute there is a door directly to the right of the opening. (Michael has to decide whether to go through the door or check the chute) But when she climbs up out of the chute there is no door. [When Jamie enters the laundry chute, she is on the second floor. After she falls to the basement and climbs back up, she exits onto the first floor, meaning that the room, and the door, would be different.]
