What was the year that little Michael killed his family in RZ's Halloween?? If you do know, where does it state this info??

Thanks for the help...

It doesn't state any date anywhere. By judging the clothes and the scenery, the earlier stuff was late 70's. The later stuff, more of a modern day climate.

The Bonus disc to the Uncut Halloween (disc 2) states it was in the 70s.

They don't say a particular year but they said 70s.

I'm potive that's what they said, I watched it a couple weeks go.

I think the present is 1997. So 15 years before that and another 11 before that and you get the date.

remember after he kills the family it flashes forward 11 months to smiths grove. Then it flashes forward again 15 years. I watched it at work on my lunch the other day. With the rocker grunge style going on I think 1997 is right and I remember it being said somewhere.

Yeah I guess I'm going to have to try and do some more digging around. I though when he broke out in the new movie it was closer to modern day then 97.

Reason I'm asking is that I want to use that date in the in the title of my new clean psychopath. Say if it was in 74 it would be Psychopath 74'

Casey I think if you watch the special features it states. I just saw it and it did indeed say.

Chances are that if no one knew an exact date on here then its not on the dvd. I do remember hearing 70's. Oh well

I think its in the special features part when they are talking about pulling off the look of the film with the editor? He says how they filmed the movie in feb and added to fall colors afterwards and got a fall feel. It is spoken of during that part of the features. I will pop it in right now.

Casey,tell ya what bro, I'll check my movie later tonight and scan through it to see if and where it states the date. Chances are it will be around the part in the movie where the Reporters are talking about having a 12 year old held in custady and it shows Mikey in the back seat of a cop car. Surely they give a date in there someware... Anyway If I find out the date, I'll let you know where at in the movie I herd it and you can verify it for yourself. I'll do what I can! I love digging up information on this kind of thing! I love challenges. I cannot believe I don't have the answer for you. That rarely ever happens when I don't have an acurate answer to snap back with... hmmm...

Casey, Pop in the bonus disc and click on the Production Degn. Right after the're done speaking about the Fake lk leafs they had to use to create a Fall setting--"Just as (Quiet on the set studios)" had mentioned. Anyway after that part the guy says about how they drew out the house for the year (((1978)))) and than what it should look like 17 years later... I still don't get why he said 17 years later when Michael broke out 15 years later... I think he made a boo boo... Anyway THERE'S YOUR F***ING YEAR!!! WHO DA MAN???

hahaha Just messen, it's 1978!!! So (Psychopath '78) is your name bro! Check it out!
