Initially, I wanted it to be with John directing, Debra producing.
And that didnt happen, for myriad reasons.
By the end of it, I was the only one involved with it.
I was excited about it, and, honestly, I was going to be paid well.
I hadnt madeanymoney on theHalloweenfranchiseat all.
I mean, really, in all of those years I hadnt really made any money.
It just gave me a lot of fame.
And now I was going to get a paycheck.
AndI was excited about it, because I liked where we were going with [the film].

The difference [from the newHalloween] was, it was someone who hadrun.
She had a child and her life was proceeding.
And I liked that.
By the way, I insisted she be an alcoholic, I insisted that she not be traumatized.
And then, of course, theres a moment when she turns back.
If youre running for your life your whole life, youre not alive.
So, youre really dead.
And that was really the emotional intent of that movie.
