Behind the mask with Michael Myers HALLOWEEN actor James Jude Courtney! Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

It's not every day you get to have a one on on with Michael Myers! This conversation was definitely a highlight in my life as I am a tremendous Halloween fan! We talk about all things HALLOWEEN 2018, HALLOWEEN KILLS, and HALLOWEEN ENDS, and literally so much more! James Jude Courtney not only plays "The Shape" (in 2018's Halloween, and the upcoming Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends), but he's one of the most down to Earth, deepest cats I've had the privilege to speak to! We cover so much about the Halloween franchise, what it's like portraying Michael Myers, the incredible horror genre fanbase, and what his favorite kill scene(s) are! BONUS: We also hear his opinion on what happens when Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, and Michael Myers walk into a bar! It's all here-it's all over the place! Enjoy!!
