Last Updated on October 15, 2021

After Michael Myers slashed his way through Haddonfield, the box office ate up Halloween. It was only a matter of time before a sequel got the green-light, and another trip to the costume store was made with Halloween 2 (WATCH IT HEREOWN IT HERE). Carpenter tried to resist but was drawn back in by the offer of a decent paycheck. Here, he would create one of the most controversial elements of the Halloween mythos and the driving force of influence for the series until Halloween 2018.

Favorite Movies: Too many to name, but I love the all-time greats, some read more trash, and the schlock in between. For every masterpiece like Shawshank, Jaws, or Casino, I also love movies like Warlock 2, Friday the 13th Part 7, and Trancers 2. I'm a film buff, not a purist.

Likes: I love movies, great food, and unique pets. I’m a lifelong read more film lover, a proud owner of four sugar gliders, and a master of crafting a damn fine Chicago-style pizza.
