Fans of the horror classic Halloween have noted quite a few inconsistencies over the years. Like, why are the trees full of green leaves in Illinois during late October? Why do all the cars have California plates? And most importantly, how the hell did Michael Myers learn to drive a car when he’s been locked inside Smith’s Grove Sanitarium since he was 6 years old?

Well thanks to Adam Green of ArieScope Pictures, now we know. Turns out there’s a deleted scene that explains the whole thing. Check it out:

Nice. Oh and how cool is it that Michael is played by Kane Hodder, who also played Jason Voorhees in four Friday the 13th films? Very cool indeed.
