Congratulations!Well, thank you.
[Laughs] No, no, its all good!
And Im like, Alright!
Tell me about the shoot.The shoot was fantastic.
I got to work with a lot of great people.
The first thing I did with Rob wasDevils Rejects.
Just working with Scout and Malcolm and everyone, it was a fantastic experience.
Can you remember the first time you put on the Michael Myers mask?Yeah.
I was on set and I had the jumpsuit on.
Put the mask on and was handed that huge knife.
It was just so surreal.
It was like, I have got to make these kills be fantastic.
It was just an amazing feeling, to bring that character back t life.
Do you have a favorite memory of killing any of these people?Yeah.
Rob was like, What are you doing?
If the TVs falling, get out of the way!
I go, They told me this is the only TV!
And he goes, Is that right?
Is this the only TV?
And they go, Yeah.
So, why the Hell is it so heavy?
Because we didnt have time to take the guts out.
And Im like, I told you, Rob!
I was trying to save you some money!
So, yeah, that was a funny moment.
You returned forHalloween II.
What do you remember about that?It was just fantastic to reunite with everybody.
It was like family, you know.
We filmed here in Georgia.
So I guess I am probably the only serial killer that I know that has actually killed an Oscar-winner.
Who was that?Octavia Spencer, who won forThe Help.
She is such a sweetheart.
The scene was, Im stabbing her behind the nurses booth.
I sunk it in and that made it into the movie.
It was one of the vicious-est-looking kills and one of my favorites.
They talked tomeabout doing a third one.
Scout and I were lined up to do it, but they were going to use a different director.
You mentioned your production company earlier.
Our first film wasCompound Fracture, which was a supernatural-thriller that were getting ready to rerelease soon.
Right now, were in post on our second picture, which is calledPenance Lane.
Its kind of a horror-thriller.
Weve got a lot of great people in it.
John Schneiders in it.
Booker T, the wrestler, is in it.
Dallas Page is in it.
Daniel Roebuck is in it.
So, theres a lot of really top people and its a lot of fun.
