Well, I can't really say I miss Halloween. I hated the costumes, I hated the trick-or-treating (I blame a miserly neighbor who would give us five pennies instead of candy), and when I was growing up, it was just a nightmarish time for me. Cars that would get egged randomly, little kids who were jumped by older kids for their candy. Plus, it's not a work holiday. I think I'm starting to become the grumpy old guy that nobody wants to ring the doorbell on. But I don't mind. I'm like the Eberneezer Scrooge of Halloween.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
