Technically, viewers never SEE Michael Myers get up and walk away after getting shot off the balcony, hence my edits

* Laurie really deserves more credit for this film. She not only stands up to a terrifying psychotic killer, she manages to stab him in the gut with his own knife and with a coat hanger in his freakin' eye! Even then it's awesome for Myers who manages to survive both and the above mentioned shooting.

** In addition to the coat hanger, how about the fact in a state of sheer terror, she came up with the idea of using the hanger, and the fact she was able to hit Michael in the eye while his masked face was in the dark? That girl's not just smart, she's got good luck too.

** To top it off, Laurie does it all not to save herself but to save the kids. When she finds her friends' bodies she immediately heads to the children and sends them to safety, fending off Michael the whole time. It's only when the kids are safe that she slips up and Michael almost kills her. Whatever the Doyles were paying her is not enough.

Loomis used a Smith and Wesson Model 15; it uses .38 Special bullets, not .375 Magnuam. you were probably thinking of the 2007 remake of Halloween, where Loomis used a Colt Python in .375 magnum
