* In the end, when Laurie, Karen, and Allyson trap Michael in the cellar, intending for him to be roasted alive, Karen tells Allyson that Luarie's house wasn't her prison, as she had said before, but that the house is intended to serve as a cell for Michael. Thinking back to all the other films where Michael has cornered someone in a house, regardless if it's their own or not, this serves as a HoistByHisOwnPetard moment for Michael, since Laurie had made her house (almost) Michael-proof to the point where she successfully traps him in the house, while her and her family can escape while he's burned to Hell. [[Sequel Hook Or not]].

**Another take you can possibly read is that Michael has been locked up for 40 years and likely has years of pent up rage built up because of it. Likewise in his older age Michael may have just gotten even meaner (like a homicidal equivalent of a Main/GrumpyOldMan) and by default is just even more vicious then he ever was when he first escaped.

* WordOfGod confirms Sartain caused the crash to set Michael free and fully intended Michael kill again, so it's not a convenient accident that set Michael back on Haddonfield and Sartain just happened to take advantage of it. Sartain ''purposely'' wanted all the carnage Michael commits in the movie to happen and even with Sartain dying after just the one film, he's still because of helping Michael escape [[SmallRoleBigImpact the catalyst for the rest of the trilogy too]]: the murders Michael commits [[Film/HalloweenKills after escaping the burning house, the mob's destruction while trying to get to Michael]] and [[Film/HalloweenEnds Michael being able to coax Corey Cunningham into continuing his murderous work for him]]. This undeniably unstable MadDoctor had access to a relentless psychopath for years and no one ever knew until it was way too late to stop him.
