** While "[=H20=]" part of the film's title represents "h-twenty," it’s meant to be read "H[[subscript:2]]O", the chemical formula of water, which caused some fans to joke about how it sounds more like the title of some kind of crossover between ''Halloween'' and ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', sometimes jokingly calling the film "Halloween Water." Plus H20 is very close to the name of an Australian mermaid show, Series/H2OJustAddWater

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Right before [[spoiler: Laurie decapitates Michael]] there's a moment where he starts to feel the mask on his head, and looks confused. This has led to many interpretations and it's never been confirmed - though it did allow ''Resurrection'' to use it [[spoiler: to pull off Michael switching places with a paramedic]].

* FranchiseOriginalSin: Like ''Film/HalloweenResurrection'', the movie has a rapper in a proeminent role. The difference is that Music/LLCoolJ has a fairly minor part played seriously, something hardly noticeable compared to Music/BustaRhymes in an [[HamAndCheese over-the-top]] role with much more screentime.

* OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight: While the usual complaints about the lack of John Carpenter's involvement abound, a certain portion of fans also object to this being the first film without Dr. Loomis in it due to [[Creator/DonaldPleasence Donald Pleasence's]] death in 1995. Some believed the films lost a certain gravitas without Dr. Loomis to ground them in something close to reality (for a horror movie anyway) and that it was disrespectful to continue the series without his character.

** There was a deleted scene where Laurie learns from one of her students about the death of Jamie Lloyd, the daughter she abandoned to go into hiding for the duration of parts ''4'' through ''6''. Laurie excuses herself from the class, goes into a bathroom, and promptly vomits.
*** This scene was in an earlier draft, but never filmed.
