Laurie sends the kids to the MacKenzies, 3 years later in Halloween 2 the dialogue is just slightly different, and outside Loomis' "evil radar" has failed him.
In the novelization, Laurie listens for the Shape's sounds downstairs; in the film, she gets the kids ready to make a run for it; and the bogeyman arrives to foil those plans.
From flying geraniums to flightless astronauts, matching phones to mismatched houses, as a teenage girl's mind is broken when she realizes the phone doesn't work.
Front yards, back yards, duplicate doors, falling down, picking yourself back up, and screaming for help, only to lose your keys. Don't be Laurie Strode if you can help it.
In the novelization, the bodies are more damaged, and Laurie fights back a little more, but the film has two iconic visuals inside one minute.
