I'm hardly physically right for the hero parts, now am I?

John and I had a few meetings about what direction the sequel should take. I made some real insane suggestions. True to what you'd expect, he ignored them all and just picked up Halloween II where the original left off.

The idea of dying and coming back is what makes the Halloween films work.

The process of creation goes on all the time. When I get through, I feel I know what the character will do in every situation. But the building up of the part is not mechanical or deliberate. It grows out of the text.

John Carpenter created the idea of Halloween, so his vision remains the most focused and intelligently directed of the series. The directors that have followed have kept the original intent of the concept.

I do not use any set methods, not even The Method. The character after all is in the lines.

What can I tell you about things like Circus of Horrors except that I get killed by the bear?
