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

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.

I do think the story in Halloween 5 is a bit stupid, and there's a lot more blood. They're obviously going to take the Halloween series in a different direction.

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

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.

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.

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