Halloween is upon us once again a night
of Tricks and Treats of ghosts and
goblins and the night where the
boogeyman can be around any corner with
Halloween ends now in theaters bringing
a conclusion to The Saga of Lori Strode
and Michael Myers we thought it would be
appropriate to take a look back at the
first time their story came to an end so
come with us as we return to Haddonfield
for more of the night he came home this
is Halloween too where it was made
foreign
[Music]
he's not human
else
[Music]
to land the role of Michael Myers
stuntman dick warlock put on the Michael
mask it stood Motionless In the doorway
of director Rick rosenthal's office
after Rosenthal was sufficiently creeped
out warlock removed the mask and asked
for the roll despite being Michael's
trademark weapon the butcher knife taken
from Mrs Elrod's kitchen would only be
used once on Alice in the next scene
Michael then walks across the
neighboring yard and over to the house
of Alice despite being made to look like
it's just next door this location is in
Sierra Madre California the murder of
Alice was just one of a handful of
scenes shot by John Carpenter himself
Carpenter was unsatisfied with director
Rick rosenthal's original cut so he
added some scenes to heighten the
violence as well as fill in some plot
holes the voice of Alice's friend Sally
on the telephone is the voice of Nancy
Loomis who played Annie in Halloween
where'd it happen down on Orange Grove
that's right down the street
do they know who it was
I don't want you listen to me I want you
to go out of the house and down the
street to the MacKenzie's house I want
you to knock on their door I want you to
tell them to call the police and send
them over here all right now do as I say
and now we return to one of several
locations from the original film the
Doyle and Wallace houses although the
opening of the film is meant to be the
same scene as the ending of the first
there have been several changes made to
it for example in the original film
Michael falls off The Terrace at the
back of the house in this film it's at
the front
is this some kind of joke I've been
trick-or-treated to death tonight you
don't know what death is the homes are
located on Orange Grove in Hollywood
California just two blocks away from The
Nightmare on Elm Street house
[Music]
three bodies were discovered in the
upstairs bedroom of the house directly
behind me
you see the Wallace house is looking
very different from the time of filming
we return here to watch poor Sheriff
bracket identify the body of his
daughter Annie
damn you so what have you done I haven't
done anything you let him out I didn't
let him out I gave out his phone to be
restrained
next we return to another location from
the first movie Haddonfield Elementary
School where Dr Loomis finds a haunting
note left by Michael Myers
the school uses Haddonfield Elementary
it's the Garfield Elementary School in
Alhambra California he got in here
over here
sister what's this it's gibberish no
it's a Celtic word Sam Hayne
it means the lord of the Dead the end of
summer the Festival of Samhain October
31st the famous plot twist or Lori is
revealed to be Michael's sister was
something that John Carpenter would
admit to not being very fond of years
later in fact he said the idea was
concocted at 2 am in front of a
typewriter with a six pack of Budweiser
and of course what would a Halloween
movie be without the old Myers house we
return here in Halloween 2 and Dr Loomis
pulls up to watch the angry mob smash up
the house of retaliation the house was
actually run down at the time of filming
but it was located in a different spot
on Meridian Ave it was moved here to
Mission Street in South Pasadena where
it was renovated and turned into an
office building rumor has it is
currently being rented out by
trick-or-treat filmmaker Michael Doherty
[Music]
the old Myers house is known today as
the century house a building named South
Pasadena cultural landmark number 34.
[Applause]
the drive
one of their number wish butcher this is
the Wake it was built in 1888 and was
owned by a nursing home when location
Scouts from the first Halloween found it
it was being used at the time to store
old wheelchairs the house was nearly
demolished after the filming of
Halloween too thankfully South Pasadena
council member David margrave bought it
on a whim for a silver dollar thanks for
saving the house David
[Music]
directly behind the Michael Myers house
there now sits in art gallery where it's
Halloween year round come inside with us
for a little where it was made
in Sarah Rose orlandini this is my
gallery Sugarman Gallery located in
South Pasadena California next door to
the original Michael Myers house from
John Carpenter's Halloween I'm just a
huge Michael Myers fan of a huge
Halloween holiday fan I grew up in
Pasadena and I have driven by this house
my whole life so the house always meant
something to me this movie was just like
very exciting because I knew where it
was found so when I opened the gallery
it was just going to be a regular Art
Gallery the first month of opening
somebody came in and asked me like what
do I want to do like and I was like all
I know is I want to do something with
Michael Myers I'm going to do a
Halloween something with him and put him
in the window and he's like I know the
producer so he got me a meeting with
Malika Malik introducing me Kim Gottlieb
Walker who
photographer from Halloween one and two
and she's been a part of the gallery
ever since so my first Halloween show I
opened June 2015. and my first Halloween
show was October 2015. something I never
thought
well owning this gallery and seeing all
the fans I see my goals all year round
to the point where I don't really notice
them I'm just like
what's up you know like you just see
them it's so much fun that it can be
February and you see a Michael walking
down the street people come from all
over the world all because of this one
fabulous film
I tell you this isn't a man
[Music]
look look
no
now we come to the location of poor Ben
tramer's death also located in South
Pasadena this is just around the corner
from the alleyway
in fact the front side of the Elrod
house is visible in this scene look for
the pointed roof you can spot the house
scene here as Ben crosses the street
in addition to his role as Michael Myers
dick warlock also appears as the
policeman who hit spin Tremor with his
patrol car warlock not only drove the
car himself during the crash scene but
also did his own stunts as Michael Myers
[Music]
[Applause]
thank you
[Music]
very much
[Music]
here we see downtown Sierra Madre
California which doubled for Haddonfield
Town Square
Halloween party as long as I live
especially not at Stevie Mathis house
so the man with the Boombox runs into
Michael Myers approximately here in
front of this ice cream shop behind me
you can also spot the front windows of
this shop again in Halloween 3 showing
the iconic silver Shamrock commercial
found directly across the street from
the home where the murders took place
the teenager was taken across town to
Haddonfield Memorial Clinic
[Music]
the character known as Boombox boy was
played by Lance warlock son of Michael
Myers actor Dick Warlock the scene where
he runs into Michael in Haddonfield Town
Square was another one of the reshoots
done by John Carpenter This was meant to
show how Michael knows that Lori is in
the hospital
the mask Michael wears in the movie is
the exact same Mass from the original
Halloween it looks different in the
sequel because the pain had faded due to
several reasons first of all being Nick
Castle the original Michael Myers kept
it in his back pocket during filming
also Deborah Hill kept the mask under
her bed for several years until the
filming of Halloween 2 causing it to
collect dust and yellow because hill was
a heavy smoker
[Applause]
thank you
the parking lot scene here was used for
the ambulance's entrance to haddenfield
Memorial Hospital
in actuality this is just the parking
lot of a Nordstrom at a mall known as
The Shops at Santa Anita
including this film Jamie Lee Curtis has
played Lori Strode in films released in
six different decades from the 1970s to
the 2020s
do you know this area well
a little bit where's the hospital
located Dr Loomis were under orders from
the governor it's back around 17 about
three miles and lastly we go to
Haddonfield Memorial Hospital where the
finale of the movie takes place
left the interior chest possibly
penetrating yeah come on
[Music]
continues
[Music]
while the hospital used for the
exteriors clearly Still Remains the
Interiors of the hospital were shot at
Morningside Hospital a recently closed
facility that was torn down after
filming
[Music]
the exact logo for the Haddonfield
Memorial Hospital would be reused in
Halloween kills and Halloween ends
[Music]
at one point during pre-production David
Lynch was considered for directing
duties
[Music]
[Applause]
foreign
the film is set immediately after the
events of the first Halloween but Jamie
Lee Curtis had cut her hair to a much
shorter hairstyle therefore Curtis had
to wear a wig that matched her original
hairstyle from the first film
[Music]
as this film was meant to wrap up the
Michael Myers story after dick warlock
was allowed to keep the hero mask the
stunt mask was used in the burn at the
end of the film
[Music]
up until recently this was the only
Halloween film to show the morning of
November 1st
in Dana Carvey pre-snl Fame plays the
news cameraman in the scene
with this account
and so on the morning of November 1st
Laurie has safely escaped Michael Myers
so that'll do it for this episode of
where it was made Happy Halloween
everybody and I'll see you at the movies
[Music]
