HALLOWEEN FUN FACT #1: Rick Baker claimed to have been disappointed by the amount of time spent shooting the face changing shot for the transformation after having spent months working on the mechanism. John Landis only required one take lasting about seven seconds. Baker felt he had wasted his time until seeing the film with an audience that applauded during that one seven second shot. HALLOWEEN FUN FACT #2: David Naughton said the transformation scene took 6 days to complete, roughly 10 hours a day spent on applying the makeup, 5 hours on set, and 3 hours of makeup removal. Because the makeup took so long to apply and remove, there was only enough time for one setup a day. Rick Baker estimated that only half an hour of footage was shot during the entire week. The snout protrusion was the last shot to be filmed and it did not include Naughton, but an animatronic head. In fact it was the last shot in the entire production and was conducted after the wrap party had been held and the cast and crew started going home. Baker found that a little anticlimactic. HALLOWEEN FUN FACT #3: John Landis had to avoid filming any full-frontal nudity of David Naughton during the transformation scene and dream sequences after Naughton informed Landis that he was not circumcised, even though his role, David Kessler, was written as being Jewish. HALLOWEEN FUN FACT #4: This is the first film to earn the Academy Award for Best Makeup. That category was created in 1981. https://youtube/watch?v=IIad8e5iUnk
