“Halloween” 1978: Jamie Lee Curtis and John Carpenter’s Oral History of the Horror Classic - Part 1

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.
