Most of the cast and crew disowned this movie. On the Halloween: 25 Years of Terror (2006) DVD, they stated that the studio, producers, and director interfered and argued to the point of ridiculousness which resulted in a very poorly directed and edited film.
The producers of the movie wanted Brian Andrews to reprise his role as Tommy Doyle from the original Halloween (1978). However, Andrews did not have an agent, so they could not get in contact with him, and the part went to Paul Rudd instead. Andrews has stated since that he regrets missing the opportunity. He could have had another shot at playing the part in Halloween Kills (2021), but by that time, he had retired from acting, and Rudd had a scheduling conflict with another movie, so the role was re-cast again.
It was Daniel Farrands who suggested that the film be called The Curse of Michael Myers due to the troubled production.
Sadly, Donald Pleasence died as the film headed into re-shoots, and Farrands recalls the body double they had on set at the time. "It was this very strange moment where you kind of looked at him and wondered, is he back?"
