Headscratchers / Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later

• Michael drove from Illinois to California. He would have had to refill the car a few times on the way to California. Would he have taken off his mask and just refilled at a gas station like any regular person, or was he leaving a trail of bloodied gas attendant corpses behind him? If the latter is correct, then you'd think the police would have found the trail and followed it back to Haddonfield, especially since they were already on the look-out for Michael after he killed the nurse in California.
  • It is shown that Michael has no problem stealing cars from people, without causing them any injury. Any time he runs out of gas, he can simply steal a car. If he doesn't murder people, he doesn't leave a bloody trail, and since he is known as a murderer and not a car thief, the police probably don't suspect it is Michael Myers when the reports say a masked man stole a car.
  • I wouldn't put it past him. I think something like that happened in Silent Night, Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out!.
  • Maybe he left the mask on the whole time and since it was coming up to Halloween, people just assumed he was a weirdo in a costume. News wouldn't have travelled as fast in 1998 as it does today with internet coverage.
  • They're also on the lookout for him in Haddonfield, which is where he usually strikes. No one thought that he would drive to California.
