Santa is a Spanish word meaning 'female saint' and is of course a popular and well-worn prefix for Californian towns. Mira is a more unique choice. It means to 'look', and the name could be read as Saint Vision.

Unknown to the public at large, the town is secretly monitored by Cochran, who has anyone who poses a threat to his plans or simply hates the company killed.
John Carpenter didn't plan on having Michael Myers in another Halloween movie, only the first. He wanted a different Halloween related story each time, but after the first Halloween (1978) was a success, producers forced him to use Myers again. He did, but killed off Myers and Loomis to be done with them.
Parents need to know that this sequel to 2007's Halloween remake is brutally violent, grotesquely explicit, and terrifyingly violent. There are innumerable scenes of killing, and it says a lot about the movie's savagery and viciousness that they're still grim even though it's not particularly well made. Expect…
Teaming up with Grimbridge's daughter Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), they uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy) to kill as many people as possible on Halloween with a computer chip hidden in the trademarks on the Halloween masks.
Daniel then crashes the car and decapitates android-Ellie with a tie iron. Halloween III ends with Daniel doing one final effort to stop the Silver Shamrock commercial from playing, screaming on the phone to a TV station to turn it off – and the fate of the real Ellie isn't addressed.
To Ask for Attention. This is equivalent to “hey, listen” and although Spanish-speaking people also say oye to catch somebody's attention, mira (hey, look) is a common alternative.

The one that isn't considered canon in any timeline is Halloween III, as it's a story separate from the Michael Myers/Laurie storyline, and instead, it follows a doctor and a young woman who are trying to stop the Silver Shamrock company from killing hundreds of children as part of an ancient pagan ritual related to ...
In this timeline, Laurie faked her death in a car accident as a way of escaping her murderous brother, whose body was not found after Halloween II. She is now living under the name Keri Tate, and works as the headmistress of a California private school, where her teenage son John (Josh Hartnett) is a student.
Michael ambushes Loomis and kills him by slashing his face and stabbing him in the chest. In the unrated version, Michael tackles Loomis out of the shack and then stabs him in the stomach while Loomis is still trying to reason with him.
EXCLUSIVE: After a heated bidding war, Miramax has scored the television rights to the hugely popular Halloween franchise, which are controlled by Trancas International Films, run by Malek Akkad.
The decision to omit Myers from the film was one taken by Halloween creators John Carpenter and Debra Hill, who envisioned the sequel as the first in a series of anthology series centered around a different story linked only by the fact they played out over Halloween night.

It is the fourth entry in the Halloween franchise and marks the return of Michael Myers, as the primary antagonist, after his absence in Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), a standalone film.
Parents need to know that director Rob Zombie's "re-imagined" slasher flick, Halloween (2007), leaves no blood, gore, or sex to viewers' imagination: It's all here in spades. Savage stabbings, slayings, and bashings are presented in ugly close-up.
Although very bloody compared to the first film, it really isn't that bad. All of the kills are done with practical effects, and this is an early '80s movie, so the effects are very dated.
There's little to no blood except for two scenes. The choking scenes are pretty disturbing. Overall, older kids or teens who already are mature enough and know what sex is and can handle it would enjoy this movie. The violence could deter this though.
The rest of the original timeline, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers and Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers are not canon in the H20 timeline.
