43 Halloween (1978)

- Director 'John Carpenter' (qv) was raised in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In
one scene, the subtitle on the screen depicts the location as ``Smiths
Grove, Illinois.'' Smiths Grove, Kentucky is a small town of about 600
people 15 miles from Bowling Green. In another scene, a man mentions going
to Russellville, which is another town near Bowling Green.
- Due to its shoestring budget, the prop department had to use the cheapest
mask that they could find in the costume store: a 'William Shatner' (qv)
mask. They later spray-painted the face white, and teased out the hair.
- The kids watch the opening of "The Thing From Another World (1951)" (qv) on
TV. Carpenter would later re-make this film himself in 1982 as
"The Thing (1982)" (qv).
