Trivia
The film's producer is Malek Akkad, who is the son of Moustapha Akkad, the producer of the original 1978 "Halloween." Moustapha Akkad was murdered, along with his daughter Rima (Malek's sister), in the terrorist bombing of an Amman, Jordan hotel in 2005. Jamie Lee Curtis has recounted how the first person she saw when she came to the set for the first day of filming the 2018 film was Malek, who she remembered as a 7 year-old child visiting the set during production of the original film. She added that seeing Malek for the first time since his father's death immediately brought her to tears.

Goofs
When Michael Myers walks around Laurie's house, the view from the basement shows gaps, dust and even his footsteps through the floor. Earlier the floor was shown to be consisting of square floor tiles without gaps.

Quotes

Not as good as I'd hoped.

I guess I'd blame the director. So many missed opportunities. Huge fan of Halloween and Michael and the whole idea, just left me wanting better. While this one was superior to H20, H20 had more "Oh Yeah!" Moments. Don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable with some great Easter eggs, it just wasn't as awesome as it could have been.
