Trivia
The reports that Kevin Williamson's original treatment for
"H20" included a scene in which "Halloween 4" through
"6" are acknowledged as being "in continuity" and
"canon" are completely accurate. The scene did exist, and involved a
bitchy student at Keri/Laurie's school giving a class report on the
"Haddonfield Murders", and going into great detail about Jamie Lloyd,
Danielle Harris and JC Brandy's character from "Halloween 4" through
"6". The student talks about Jamie losing her parents in an auto
accident, as was the explanation in those sequels for Laurie Strode's absence.
(In fact, the only reason for Laurie to be in the Witness Production Program
with her son under an assumed name as "Keri Tate" at all was because
the original story for "H20" was conceived like this, with
"Halloween 4" through "6" in continuity, and Williamson
thus being required to create an explanation for Laurie's "death" in
the previous movies and her subsequent resurrection.) The student's report chronicles
Jamie's being hunted and eventually killed by her uncle, Michael Myers. Upon
hearing this oral presentation in the classroom, a grief-stricken Keri/Laurie
then retreats to a restroom and throws up. This scene was of course omitted
from the actual film.
