Being a child star in a horror movie isn\u2019t an easy task \u2014 but thousands of actors have taken it on.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a little tiny pish of a horror movie shot in 20 days. I\u2019m being honest. I mean, it\u2019s nice that it has a fanbase,\u201d Jamie Lee Curtis<\/strong><\/a>, who starred in the original 1978 Halloween<\/em><\/a>, told NME <\/a>about the now-famous movie in October 2018. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to be facetious or cute or clever. Although I do try to do that often\u2026 It just bothers me because there\u2019s some feeling that this was some preordained, planned mastermind and that\u2019s just s\u2013t.\u201d<\/p>\n Curtis explained that director John Carpenter<\/strong> would \u201cbe the first person to tell you\u201d that they had no clue what type of massive success the film \u2014 and its many subsequent sequels \u2014 would have.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were making an exploitation slasher movie about killing babysitters. And that\u2019s what it was. Shot in 20 days, shot for nothing. Fast, furious, vicious and what it became really had nothing to do with the intent of the work,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe intent of the work was to make a movie and then, as a young filmmaker, make another movie. It became then the thing you could get another job from, not that it was going to become something.\u201d<\/p>\n
