Why does Michael Myers, the ultimate neighborhood bogeyman, endure? Laurie Strode herself - a.k.a. the super-smart, super-cussy - Jamie Lee Curtis, sat down for an exclusive extended interview with Rotten Tomatoes to talk about the on-screen murderer she calls her “shadow” of 40 years. Joined by ‘Halloween’ director John Carpenter, Curtis walks us through the creation of the slasher classic in fascinating detail, from first landing the part to her first day on set to working with Nick Castle and the creation of Myers’ iconic look. The director and star also reflect on why their creation - he with “the devil’s eyes,” in the words of Dr. Loomis - continues to haunt our nightmares, and soon our theaters, all these years after he first went on his Haddonfield spree.

@cheddarcheese7928 5 лет назад

I think it's great to have Carpenter back for Halloween.The man almost single handedly created a new horror genre..But the man has defiantly made some clunkers..I still dont fully understand Prince of Darkness or Mouth of Madness.And Escape from LA.Ughh.But with Halloween he defiantly had a vision..

@alexandredion2151 5 лет назад

Cheddar Cheese In the Mouth of Madness is my favourite Carpenter film ! It's beautifully weird and effectively shocking. But I do agree with you on the other two, especially Escape from (L.A). The latter is surprisingly the only one among his films that looks low-budget or dated.

That was so damn cool to watch and listen to Jamie Lee Curtis. Halloween (1978) is a classic film that I love watching traditionally every October. In a way, it's like Star Wars (1977). Not in comparison to the financial gains of the two films, but rather the iconic status and the 'who had any idea these would become what they did?' mentality when they were being made.

I'm weird.. Texas chainsaw massacre 2 was the right amount of slasher and comedy. Gotta love chop top. Also a little low budget series called criminally insane staring an obese, mentally ill crazy woman named fat ethel. She kills anyone who gets in the way of her eating habits or just out of psychopathic rage while living in a halfway house. This movie has such a low budget it's just eerie someone made it and it's pretty creepy to watch.

I love how she acknowledges that Halloween gave her the career she has now. A lot of actors who get their start in small horror movies turn their nose up at it and won't even discuss it once they make it big. Jamie hasn't done that. She distanced herself from horror so she could try other things in her career but she always said if it wasn't for Halloween and Laurie Strode, she probably wouldn't be what she is today. And she has had a great legacy as an actress. Love her!

I’ve always found Laurie Strode to be a relatable character in the very first film. Likewise to her, I am a teenager living in the Midwest who tends to be very bookish, quiet and introverted. I also hold a somewhat similar friend group, although I never really hung out with a popular cheerleader like Lynda, though I can say that I’ve had many friends similar to Annie. Ultimately though, likewise to Laurie, I’m the quiet kid who hangs out with more extroverted people, and to make her even more relatable she’s also the quiet kid who you would never guess smokes grass. Not only does her relatability kind of make the film more terrifying to me personally, but it also goes to show the timelessness of Carpenter’s film and Curtis’ acting if a 19-year-old guy in 2020 (born very-early 2001) can relate to a teenager from a 1978 film

The last one I saw with J Lee C in the staring roll was H2o. Final Confrontation was cutting off his head and once you do that, the body is dead. Things you can survive....... being shot, stabed, hit by a car, electrocuted,poisons, a leg break a leg or arm getting cut off, drowning and being burned ones throat being cut, boiling water a shark attack. How did he return after your sister cuts you head clean off? Did he have a twin that was helping him? Was he one of an octuplets and they kept thinking that it Michael? It was one of the others brothers or all of the octuplet brothers. Magicly she decapitated an innocent man.. Okay. I don't know when I am going to see this but I will see it. I guess that is the power and the Jedi mind trick of it all. I am going to still see this film. You got me hooked. Danm!
