 * 1b) Prose can be cleaned up, I'll let you know when I do that. You are misreading the FILM MOS guideline with regard to cast listing. It says, "Failing that, a cast list inserted into the body of the article may be appropriate, though some editors frown on lists inside articles." The key word is "may be". A simple list of the cast, which is not only provided in the plot section, but also in IMDb, is unnecessary. There was not a lot of casting information out there for the actors (which is typical of a horror film that isn't historical, ala it isn't the original Halloween). So, no, a cast list is NOT mandatory.
 * Well, just seeing from other film articles having cast sections, I figured that maybe it'd be useful to add one. I guess that doesn't work in this case. So, check for the no usage of the cast section. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll try and get to those dead links after my class tonight. What edit war are you referring to per the article's history? We've had quite a few reverts to things to the article in the past couple months, but I'm not aware of any actual "edit war" going on. Please explain your reasoning.


 * Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the image of the trio go. It doesn't add anything to the section. It's just an image of Zombie, Faerch and Mane (in make-up), which should really be supported by critical commentary if it is needed.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  20:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The choice is yours if you want the image to be gone. I can't make that decision, since I'm not a main editor for in this article. What I'm referring to the article being stable is that there's a whole lot of reverting vandalism and stuff, I'm not necessarily referring to "edit wars", that's just how the GA template is set-up. Also, take your time with the article, there's no rush for you to get the comments I left at the review. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm a passer-by to this article because I've just watched the film for the first time. I've made a few small tweaks to the article in response to the GA review, in an attempt to help out. Like Bignole, I'm not a fan of cast lists. However, perhaps a section about the main characters and cast in prose form would be useful, in the style indicated in WikiProject Films/Style guidelines? The two sentences in the 'Development' section about McDowell could be moved to such a section, and you might also be able to get similar information about the casing of the others?

 * I've created a casting section, tell me what you think.-- Music 26/  11  22:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a start! (Remember that I'm not the GA reviewer, so my comments are independent of that.) It's a little short, though, and if it stays like it is, I'd probably lose the subheading. Do you think you'd be able to expand upon it?  Halloween_(1978_film) is pretty good, and it's probably a good idea to replicate that article's structure for series continuity.

 * I think all of the above statements have been answered, maybe the Casting section requires a bit expansion, but it's not neccessary.-- Music 26/  11  10:49, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, after reading the article, I have gone off and passed the article. Congratulations. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you to all who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
