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.
