I don't mean to start an [[edit war]] over this, but it is not logical to have an encyclopedia page on a film and take into consideration it's sequels when discussing the plot, especially when the plot device in the sequel is a [[retcon]]. Look up that word and maybe you'll see what I'm saying here. When [[Halloween: H20]] was made, they absolutely did not intend that guy in the mask at the end to be a paramedic, it was intended to be Michael Myers. The paramedic gag was made up by the script writer of [[Halloween: Resurrection]]. Therefore, it doesn't belong in the article. [[User:VertigoXpress|VertigoXpress]] 07:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

References to "Halloween: Resurrection"

I changed the references to "Halloween: Resurrection" in the description of this film because I don't feel it's appropriate. I think that when discussing the plot of each film individually, we shouldn't use the retcon established in the following sequel. In the plot of Halloween: H20, it is definitely supposed to be Michael that Laurie decapitates at the end of the film, and not a paramedic. That idea was established to allow for another sequel after the success of Halloween: H20. VertigoXpress 17:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be noted in the page though for it plain and simply wasn't Michael. SOADLuver 02:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
