How does the nature of Haddonfield change, from film to film?

I can't be the only one here who has been bugged by this, over the years.

I have always been struck by how Haddonfield changes back and forth between being a suburb and a rural community. Does anybody here have any cool thoughts on this? Like, in the first movie, the town is definitely a suburb. The sheriff even says "Do you know what Haddonfield is, doc? Families, children, lined up in rows up and down these streets." That, my friends, is a suburb. Jamie Lee, especially, comes across as a very suburban chick... the other characters, less so, but still, somewhat.

Then parts two and three are different, for different reasons.

Parts four and five were apparently shot in Utah, and it all seems much, much, much more rural. There are lots of shots of fields of crops, and also, just what some of the characters are like. Their dialog is like small town people, or rural farm people. I don't know if the actors and actresses had personally spent much time far away from cities, but their lines just seem very rural to me. Then, of course, various scenes in and around barns, and the vigilantes at the end of part four that they were able to scrounge up in just a few minutes... I mean, come on.

Then, in part six, I always thought they kind of split the difference. Haddonfield seems somewhere in the middle, between rural and suburb. Also, apparently it is a college town, with some kind of community college or junior college. The college students might have been supposed to be a little older than traditional college students... early to mid 20's?? I'm not sure. Marianne Hagan's character had a son who was not a toddler.... Anyway, different scenes strike me in different ways, rural versus suburban. The way that dickhead (Mr. Strode) dresses seems like he's got some kind of a white collar job, so that sort of implies suburb.

By the way, it is interesting how Halloween 6 prefigured Scream, in a lot of ways. That Halloween festival had a very Scream-like feel to it. Just the way they talked about Michael Myers, and horror... it also prefigured Halloween 8 (Resurrection) at least in the sense of that local access TV show. It was similar to what Busta Rhymes had going on, in Resurrection.

Anyone have anything to say about any of this? Agree, disagree, call me a mindless bastard and storm off pissed as all hell? Whatever, it's all good.

All these things are more mixed up in today's world, in some ways, but I don't think they were as mixed up in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
