Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.

Loomis has always felt himself responsible for the fact that he did not stop Michael when he first murdered his sister, and so he's got that guilt to live with.

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

I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.

I think people have a tendency to read into more than there is.

At this point in my career, it doesn't bother me much that I'm probably hopelessly typecast. I like to work, and horror films definitely keep me working.

I was offered a choice of a flat salary up front or a percentage of the film's future earnings. I took the up front money. Nobody could have figured what Halloween would ultimately become.
