Trivia

Rob Zombie was opposed to cameos from actors in the original franchise, as he felt it would cheapen the remake. Danielle Harris’s manager had convinced Rob Zombie to let her audition.

Alternate Versions
Before Halloween‘s theatrical release in August 2007, an early workprint made its way to the internet and was quickly spread around. It featured many scenes that weren’t in the film’s theatrical cut, as well as an alternate ending.
When Halloween made its way to home video, an extended version of the film called the Unrated Director’s Cut was released. Running 12 minutes longer, it featured many of the scenes that were in the film’s workprint, but retooled in the order portrayed in the theatrical print.
