'Halloween' : Creators and cast speak about bringing back 'primal fear' and remaking the iconic face of evil
With director David Gordon Green's 'Halloween' set to release on October 19, the makers of the movie talk about how they recreated the mask that signified the face of deadly evil. Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers (Nick Castle), the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
Master of horror John Carpenter executive produces and serves as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema's current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum ('Get Out', 'Split', 'The Purge', 'Paranormal Activity'). Inspired by Carpenter's classic, filmmakers Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film, and Green also directs. While 'Halloween' joins the league of legendary horror classics that are being re-made probably one of the things that the makers were most concerned about was how to get the deadpan, grey mask just right.
