John Carpenter’sHalloweenis one of the expectant repulsion films of all time , but that does n’t stop it from having quite the large plot hole . That should n’t be too surprising though , as many excellent film still finish up with plot points that do n’t really make any sense upon reflection . Screenwriting is gruelling , as is surmount continuity when most photographic film hit scenes out of order , due to logistics involve cast , crew , and emplacement availability .
Some horror fans hold in upHalloweenas a near - unadulterated horror motion picture , with lots of scares , an iconic villain , likeable fictitious character for him to target , a mesmerizing scotch , and masterful shot composing from director Carpenter . All those sentiments may well be true , butHalloweendidn’t manage to to make it to the filmdom without at least one big constituent certain to make viewer halt and strike their head as to how it would make any sense .

We all knowHalloween ’s story . Michael Myerskills his sis Judith as a small child , and is then locked up in Smith ’s Grove Sanitarium for the next 15 years , only to bunk and return to Haddonfield , Illinois to claim more victims . Only , it ’s how he gets there that make no sense .
Halloween Plot Hole: How Does Michael Myers Know How to Drive?
Michael has spend the last 15 eld in closing off , scantily strike or speaking , even to Dr. Loomis . He was mail there as a child . There is utterly no ordered ground he should know how to take , and further , no reasonableness why anyone would instruct him , as it ’s dubious Michael would ’ve been allowed to give the sanitarium for joy ride . Carpenter seems to realize the plot trap , throwing in this exchange between Dr. Wynn and Dr. Loomis : " Wynn : Now , for God ’s interest , he ca n’t even get a car!Loomis : He was doing very well last nighttime ! Maybe someone around here give him lesson ! "
Of course , that ’s a very lazy explanation at good , and makes no sense in its own right field at bad . Why on Earth would someone give the murderous Kyd who did n’t talk to anyone tug lessons ? SinceHalloween 6reveals that Dr. Wynn was in fact part of the Cult of Thorn that was power Michael , one could infer that Wynn learn Michael to drive on the sly , but that ’s an entirely rooter - supplied explanation , not anything in reality made explicit onscreen . Plus , Carpenter had nothing to do withHalloween 6,clearly did n’t know when writingHalloweenthat Wynn was evil , and that subsequence has since been retconned fromHalloween ’s timeline not once but twice . Michael driving was and remainsHalloween ’s big plot cakehole .
