* The young boy with a razor blade stuck ''in his teeth'', playing into the AdultFear UrbanLegend of [[RazorApples children's Halloween treats containing objects or poisons intended to harm them]]. The implication that [[AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent it is not in any way related to Michael Myers]] and is never retroactively explained away as being related to the storyline or [[WouldHurtAChild child-hurting antagonists]] of any other film in the franchise (e.g., [[Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch Silver Shamrock]], [[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers Cult of Thorn]], etc.) arguably makes it the film's most disturbing mystery (leading [[ParanoiaFuel one to wonder]] what other potential homicidal maniacs are stalking the [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere supposedly quiet town]] of [[EverytownAmerica Haddonfield]]).

* The young boy with a razor blade stuck ''in his teeth''.

* Remember that jack-o-lantern in the last film's opening? [[NothingButSkulls They topped that]]....

* The young boy with the razorblade stuck in his teeth.

* Laurie and Loomis being trapped in a small room with a blinded Michael Myers swiping erratically with his knife. This also applies to the shot of him bleeding from the eyes in the same scene.

** Not to mention the pumpkin on the film's poster. The pumpkin has a skull for a face.

* Michael's utter relentlessness in pursuing Laurie. It perhaps doesn't top the NothingIsScarier nature of him possibly targeting anyone, like in the first film, but the fact that Michael ''simply won't stop'' is utterly terrifying, and even prompts Laurie to ask why he won't die, at one point.

* The kills in which Michael uses needles. Especially if you're AfraidOfNeedles.

* Laurie and Loomis being trapped in a small room with a blinded Michael Myers swiping erratically with his knife.

* Doubles as a TearJerker- the [[spoiler: Michael doppelganger getting hit by a police car, and pinned between it and an ambulance which suddenly explodes]]. Made worse by the fact that said person was ''just an unassuming regular''. If only Loomis had paid more attention to the hair colour on the mask...

* If you get nervous or scared in hospitals, this is not the movie you should be watching.
