In John Carpenter's 1978 classic HALLOWEEN, Michael Myers was suddenly able to drive a car after having sat in a sanitarium staring at the wall since childhood. While the filmmakers addressed this slight plot hole briefly in the original movie with a throw away line by Donald Pleasance ("Maybe someone around here gave him lessons"), ArieScope Pictures was fortunate enough to track down a never-before-seen deleted scene that thoroughly explains what really happened.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adam Green created this as a genuine ArieScope short, not official franchise canon — though it absolutely should be.
This spawned countless 'how did Michael learn to drive?' memes and remains the definitive fan answer to Carpenter's shrugged-off mystery.
