 The "Myers" house was a locale found in South Pasadena that was  largely the decrepit, abandoned place seen in the majority of the  film. However, since the film had to look ordinary (and furnished)  for the early scenes with the young Michael Myers, almost the whole  cast and crew worked together to clean the place, move in furniture,  put up wallpaper, and set up running water and electricity, and then  take it all out when they were through.
