Idea
"John and I had a few meetings about what direction the sequel should take. I made some real insane suggestions. True to what you'd expect, he ignored them all and just picked up Halloween II where the original left off."
Direction

Character
"At the end of the first Halloween, when I shot 6 bullets into Michael Myers, John Carpenter said, Let's get a shot of you looking out of the window and seeing no one lying there."

First
"Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach."
