[after Michael disappears]
Doyle Neighbor: What`s going on out here?
Sam Loomis: Call the police! Tell the sheriff I shot him!
Doyle Neighbor: Who?

Sam Loomis: [looks at the blood on his hand] You don`t know what death is!
Janet: Julie saw him, you know.
Bud: Who?
Janet: Michael Myers.
Bud: Come on...!
Janet: I swear, yesterday when she was coming to work.
Bud: Where`d she see him?
Janet: You know the Shop And Bag out by the mall? She stopped at the light and saw him walking in that field behind the Lost River Drive In. Julie said he was so creepy.
Bud: Julie`s full of shit. He didn`t escape until last night.
Janet: You don`t have to swear about it.
Bud: She`s a goddamn moron anyway.
Janet: Every other word you say is either hell or shit or damn.

Sam Loomis: Well those orders have changed!
Marshal: Doctor, you`re getting yourself into a lot of trouble.
Sam Loomis: What is it you guys usually do? Fire a warning shot, right?
[Loomis shoots out the window, and the car screeches and turns about]

Dr. Sam Loomis: I saw a man in a mask. I want to believe but I have to be sure. I cannot stop until I`m certain he`s dead.
Deputy Gary Hunt: You talk about him as if he`s some kind of animal.
Dr. Sam Loomis: He was my patient for fifteen years. He became an obsession with me until I realized there neither reason nor conscious or anything about him that was... even remotely human. An hour ago I stood up and fired six shots into him and he just got up and walked away. I am talking about the real possibility that he is STILL OUT THERE!
Jimmy: Jill, where`s Dr. Mixter?

Dr. Mixter: Janet, get me some more coffee!
Budd: Happy Halloween.
Karen: Budd, you are the biggest jerk I have ever met.
Budd: But you love me...
Karen: Yeah, and I`m an idiot.
[Dr. Loomis orders the Marshal around at gun-point]
Dr. Sam Loomis: Go and check all the rooms down there! Go on!

Dr. Sam Loomis: In order to appease the gods, the Druid priests held fire rituals. Prisoners of war, criminals, the insane, animals... were... burned alive in baskets. By observing the way they died, the Druids believed they could see omens of the future. Two thousand years later, we`ve come no further. Samhain isn`t evil spirits. It isn`t goblins, ghosts or witches. It`s the unconscious mind. We`re all afraid of the dark inside ourselves.
Dr. Sam Loomis: It`s Time, Michael.

Trivia
Dana Carvey made his movie debut in this movie playing an assistant. He can be seen receiving instructions from a blond reporter in front of the Wallace house.
#
# The film is set immediately after the first Halloween (1978). Since Jamie Lee Curtis had begun to wear a much shorter hairstyle in the 1980s, she had to wear a wig that matched her original hairstyle for the film.
#
# Halloween II was originally written to take place in a high rise apartment building. Later in script meetings, however, the setting was changed to Haddonfield Hospital.
This is the only Halloween film to show the morning after the 31st, every other movie ends on Halloween night.
John Carpenter turned down an offer to direct, but remained involved with the production by writing the screenplay.
Pamela Susan Shoop (Karen) got an ear infection during filming of her death scene as the water in the hot tub was apparently "none too clean".
#
# Believing Rick Rosenthal`s version of the film to be too tame, John Carpenter shot a few gory scenes that were added into the film despite Rosenthal`s objections.
The scene where the Boom Box Boy, played by Lance Warlock, runs into Michael in Haddonfield town square was shot on one of three nights of re-shoots done by original Halloween (1978) director John Carpenter.
The voice of Alice`s friend (heard over a telephone) is the voice of Nancy Kyes, who played Annie in Halloween (1978), and appears in Halloween II (1981) as the corpse of Annie.
The 17-year-old who was hit by the police car and burnt alive, at first believed to be Michael Myers, was supposed to be Ben Tramer, the boy Laurie confesses to have a crush in in the original Halloween.
Ben Tramer, who gets killed, is a reference to John Carpenter`s friend Bennett Tramer. They went to USC (University of Southern California) as Tramer wrote episodes for `"Saved By the Bell" (1989)`.
Dick Warlock wore lifts in order to appear taller.
The film that the security guard and the Elrods are watching is Night of the Living Dead (1968).
In the scene where Michael tries to attack Laurie as she`s climbing through the window the scalpel that he`s holding was actually just an eraser on a stick.
#
# As revealed by the Sheriff`s Deputie`s patch, Haddonfield supposedly exists in Warren County, Illinois. Warren County is actually in Nothwest Illinois. Warren County more likely refers to the county in Kentucky which contains the city of Bowling Green where John Carpenter grew up.
Alice`s friend Sally (the girl on the phone in the beginning of the movie) tells her the murders happened on Orange Grove. This is the actual name of the street where this film and Halloween (1978) were filmed. The houses that portray the Wallace and Doyle houses are on Orange Grove just north of Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, California
#
# John Carpenter spent time growing up in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and there are several references to Bowling Green and the surrounding area: Smiths Grove and Russelville are towns nearby; Bowling Green is in Warren County, where Haddonfield is set; and Elrod, Chestnut, (31W) Bypass, and Scottsville are all names of local streets in Bowling Green.
Was filmed at Morningside Hospital, 8711 South Harvard, Los Angeles which had recently closed and has since been torn down.
#
# Anne-Marie Martin came into production as a favor when additional footage was being shot. John Carpenter shot the scene that involved Martin and supporting cast member Pamela Susan Shoop.
The only Halloween film to be produced by Universal Studios. After the massive success of the first film, Universal picked up the sequel. When the sequel didn`t fare so well, Universal gave the rights to Trancas International , an affiliate of Universal`s, who produced the films until 1989. In 1996, the rights were sold to Dimension.
The mask Michael wears is the exact same mask (a repainted and modified Captain Kirk mask) worn in the original film. It looks different in the sequel because the latex had decayed in the years between films, and Dick Warlock is shorter and stockier than Nick Castle, so the mask fit his head differently. All the subsequent sequels used different masks that looked rather different.
