11	* The opening scenes of various Halloween decorations, all over a nearly complete silence, except for the faint sound of howling wind. It's incredibly eerie.
12	* Jamie's dream sequence at the beginning. Michael tries dragging Jamie under her bed and does his signature armless sit-up with a knife in hand. Jamie's having trouble opening the door, but when she does, [[OffscreenTeleportation Michael appears on the other side]]. Again, this is all a dream.
13	* While transporting Michael Myers (who has been in a coma for years) in the ambulance, the medics casually discuss Michael's living relatives -- specifically his niece, Jamie Lloyd. Cue Michael clutching his limp hand into a fist before springing to life and attacking the medics. He smashes the man's head against the wall and uses his thumb to gouge a bloody hole into his forehead, while the woman screams in horror and tries to frantically open the door.
14	** What little we see of the remains of the ambulance after Michael's escape later are pretty gruesome.
15	-->'''Dr. Loomis:''' How many bodies did you find?
16	-->'''Patrolman:''' Hard to tell, they're pretty chewed up.
17	* Michael's burn scars are rather gnarly.
18	* Michael's murders at the gas station.
19	** Even worse is Loomis finding Michael soon after... and pleading with Michael to [[HeroicSacrifice kill him instead of returning to Haddonfield]]. It's Michael's [[NothingIsScarier reaction]] that sells it.
20	* Rachel losing track of Jamie while taking her trick-or-treating. Even without Michael lurking around, that can be an absolutely terrifying situation for both a child and whoever is looking after them. It's worse when you know that Michael ''is'' there, stalking the two of them, and if it weren't for Loomis and the Sheriff, would have likely killed them both.
21	* After Loomis and the Sheriff find the girls, they are suddenly surrounded by ''several'' Michaels. It is a very scary shot. Fortunately, when Loomis attempts to shoot them, they turn out to be a bunch of guys playing a prank.
22	* [[NoSell Brady's attempt to fight Michael.]] Michael breaks Brady's nose with his own shotgun, crushes his hand, and slowly squeezes his neck until it snaps.
23	* There is something very disturbing about the way Michael climbs onto the roof to pursue Rachel and Jamie. Almost UncannyValley, adding to his inhuman quality.
24	** Before that, he kills the driver by ''clawing into his throat'' and snapping his neck. ''One handed''.
25	* The ending. Jamie has inherited Michael's evil streak, having (non-fatally) stabbed her foster mother in her clown costume, just like Michael did as a kid. Loomis' reaction to this is him [[BigNo yelling out a string of "no"s]] and trying to [[WouldHurtAChild shoot Jamie,]] only to get stopped by Sheriff Meeker; he doesn't even try to fight back after being disarmed. [[HeroicBSOD He just sinks into the corner crying and saying "no" over and over again]] as the film ends with Jamie clutching the bloody scissors.
26	** For bonus points, if you listen you can hear Jamie breathing similar to Michael's VaderBreath in the original film.
