![]() Think about it by November 2, 1978, Laurie would have been back in school. Laurie has never gotten any help or support for it. The conception was that 40 years have gone by since the events that took place on Halloween night in 1978. I remember I got a call from Jake Gyllenhaal, who said his friend David Gordon Green wanted to talk to me about making a new Halloween movie. Obviously, I'll see them and say 'hello' on set, but I am not going to pretend that we are close, because we shouldn't be. Everybody takes it very seriously. There is respect on set. Do you know why? Because if I was, excuse my French, fucking around on set with everybody, then it's a joke. I treat this very seriously, as you can tell. James Jude Courtney has worn the suit for years now. It didn't take on this sort of incredible reverence and spiritual power of Michael Myers.Īre you friends with any of the actors who've portrayed Michael over the years? The Shape was just, I mean, he's called the Shape in the script. Back then, when I was 19, I didn't understand the importance of it all. At one point, somebody needed to put on the suit. John basically invited him to sort of hang around. Nick wanted to be a director he wanted to see how it's done. They had all gone to film school together. We were making a movie in 17 days, and Nick was a very, very close friend of John Carpenter's. For me, that really established what the movie was going to be about: a little bit of hope, and a lot of poison. The poisoning of that, I think, is a metaphor for so many things. In Halloween Kills, they attacked the town and the community. The fact that turns on Laurie Strode, who was a victim of Michael's attacks then and now. Halloween Ends talks about the societal poisoning of the victim. Would you say that's one of the themes of this movie? And then she walks out the door, and it is shattered. That was the first scene we shot on day one. For a second, you think maybe she might get a chance at happiness. For a second, there is a moment where you see that Laurie has been working on her grief. Day one on Halloween Ends is Laurie in the supermarket, running into a guy she kind of liked. It's interesting because day one of Halloween was the girls walking down the street and it was reflective of that time. The scene that really stands out to me in Halloween Ends is what we shot on day one. And the fear and concern you have for Laurie Strode, which people have had for 44 years. And that's when I understood what John was talking about and why that movie works all these years later: that reality. As she gets halfway across the street, a woman stood up in the middle of that theater and screamed, "Don't go in there! There's a killer in that house!" The entire audience was, like, released into that fear. And there's that long walk where Laurie is looking at the house then, you're back on Laurie, and looking at the house, then back on Laurie. ![]() Laurie checks on the kids and then goes across the street. I remember sitting in the back, and I was watching the scene where Laurie gets the call from her friend who's being killed. It was a late-night screening and I remember it was pretty full. I saw the movie in a theater in Hollywood. So that when you bring in the fiction, when you bring in the monster, you really have cared about those people.īuzzFeed: Did you get to see the original Halloween in theaters? If so, what was the reaction from viewers? John and Debra Hill, who cowrote it with John, really created a level of truth. I was just sort of like, 'Okay, John, whatever.' But it's the reason why the movie really worked. I mean, I literally barely got out of high school. I remember John said to me, "I really want you to be vulnerable, and Laurie to be vulnerable." Honestly, I was 19. Trust me,you don't wanna walk around in my mind.i have to many naughty thoughts,and bad thoughts up there.Jamie Lee Curtis: I really loved the verisimilitude and ease of those first scenes of the girls walking down the street.
