Was the attack supposed to be in Sidney's head, or was one of the killers actually there? I've never understood which it was supposed to be. I can see it being either.
shareJust Sid hallucinating. I doubt Mickey or Deb / Mrs Loomis would risk exposure and or capture. By this point in the film Sid was pretty far gone.
shareA lot of people point out that, if you look closely, you can see Ghostface run away, but it's clearly a goof. WE're meant to think the blonde guy is who Sid was seeing since he goes right where Ghostface was standing.

That's why I've never been sure either way.
shareI think we aren't supposed to be sure.
shareFrom what I recall reading on the Ultimate Scream Message Boards, the killer was indeed there. I haven't seen it with the commentary on myself (I tend to not do that), but I had read over there that, with the commentary on, Wes Craven apparently admits that the killer was indeed supposed to be on that stage. It wasn't Sidney's imagination

I remember reading that, too. I'm still gonna view it as an hallucination, though. Pretty dumb for the killer to actually risk going up on the stage just to toy with Sidney.
shareIt was 100% Mickey if this truly did happen.
shareAgreed

I'm positive that when Sidney falls to the floor, just after the director shouts and the music cuts..... there is a split second where you see (and hear) a pair of legs running away - right before that guy lifts up his Greek mask.
It's been years since I saw it, but I definitely remember. I think he was there for real. And it was totally Mickey - it would have been the easiest thing in the world to come up with an excuse for him visiting the theatre/lurking around backstage
