Dr. Loomis
At the beginning of the new version of "Moonlight Panic", Dr. Rambir Satine, who has studied "Michael Myers" for many years, and the reporter who came to interview mentioned his mentor, Dr. Loomis.
Even if you have never seen the original movie, we can learn from the follow-up plot that Dr. Loomis is the doctor responsible for researching the condition of "Michael Myers" in the first "Moonlight Panic" in 1978, and the positioning is similar to the film. When Laurie met Dr. Rambir Satine for the first time, she jokingly called it "Loomis Second".
And the murderer "Michael Myers" studied by Dr. Loomis at the time was just a 21-year-old young man who was imprisoned in a mental hospital for 15 years for killing his sister on Halloween at the age of six. Long.
It can be said that this period of imprisonment is closely related to his perverted personality that will gradually mature in the future.
Demon man
In the new version of "Moonlight Panic", in addition to his name, "Michael Miles" has another nickname, which is "Demon Man". The nickname "Demon Man" originated from the old version of " In "Moonlight Panic", Laurie's child Tommy Doyle calls "Michael Miles".
Alison’s best friend paid tribute to the black child she raised and called the "Michael Miles" she saw in the room as a "demon man".
Laurie's "Michael" brother
When Alison and her friend were walking in the street, Dave claimed to have heard of the rumor that Alison’s grandmother Laurie Strode was the sister of the murderer "Michael Myers", and was met by Ai. Lisen's veto, and explained that this is a story made up by others in order to make him feel good.
This is obviously an irony of "Moonlight Panic 2" in 1981, because in this sequel, Laurie is clearly set as the sister of "Michael Myers".
The original director (also the screenwriter of the later "Moonlight Panic" series) John Carpenter later admitted that he wrote the "Moonlight Panic 2" script mainly to make money, so he put Laurie and Michael His family relationship was only arranged as a transitional episode, but later he regretted it.
Since this new version of "Moonlight Panic" ignores the settings of all the sequel movies after the first, this failure was reclaimed in the movie as an easter egg.
Lonnie the Disgusted
Throughout the film, several characters are talking about Alison’s boyfriend Cameron (Dylan Arnold)’s father "Lonnie" and how bad his son Cameron is, and always It's all so.
This is because in the original "Moonlight Panic" (1978) movie, Lonnie Ilam (Brent LePage) was a sixth-grade bully who often harassed Tommy Doyle, the boy It was the child that the heroine Laurie mentioned above took care of in the old version of "Moonlight Panic", but he was "doing a lot of evil" and was later wandered near the house of "Michael Miles" waiting for the opportunity of Loomis The doctor was scared.
Two endings
The filming of the new version of "Moonlight Panic" was completed in February 2018, and a trial screening was conducted for the audience in April. But after one or more trial screenings, the film crew decided to remake some parts of the film and change the original ending, mainly due to the poor response of the audience to the original ending.
The new ending was filmed in June, which is the version that is now being screened.
According to the leaked script and the audience who participated in the trial screening, the original ending of the film was very different from the final cabin battle between Michael and Laurie in the released version, and much shorter.
When Laurie wounded Michael’s finger with a shotgun in the house and came out of the basement, Laurie and Michael finally met outside Laurie’s house, but Laurie realized that she had no extra bullets, so she took it. Take a knife and fight Michael.
In the fight, Laurie cut Michael’s arm, but Michael also managed to pierce her chest with a knife. When he raised the knife to stab Laurie again, Laurie’s daughter Karen used a crossbow arrow from behind. It hit him in the back and severely injured him.
When Karen and Alison wanted to take the injured Laurie away, Laurie begged them to return and kill him completely. However, at this time, the injured Michael had already walked into the woods and went around, and finally came to Laurie's house. On the nearby open space where shooting training was conducted, he sat down against a tree and breathed heavily, as if he was going to die slowly.
