Set photographer Kim Gottleib-Walker rounds out the initial guest reveals for the original Halloween.

Moving on to Halloween II, we have such names as Dick Warlock (who played Myers in the film), in one of his final convention appearances.

Moving on to Halloween III: Season of the Witch, along with director Tommy Lee Wallace, we have star (and fan fave) Tom Atkins.

For Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers we have a few Myers actors of note – Tom Morga, Erik Preston(young Michael), and George P. Wilbur (who also played Michael in Halloween 6).

For Halloween 5 we have Michael actor Don Shanks. A. Michael Lerner (another Michael) will be in attendance, for his role as the titular character in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.

Next up is a pair of first time convention guests – Donna Keegan (who performed as Jamie Lee Curtis’ stunt double in many films, including H20 and Halloween: Resurrection) as well as Gary J. Clayton, who played young Michael in Resurrection.

Brad Loree is set to attend H40 (Brad played Michael Myers in Resurrection), while Rob Zombie’s Myers himself, Tyler Mane and Daeg Faerch(young Michael) will be joined by a first-timer … Chase Wright Vanek, who played young Michael in Zombie’s Halloween II.

LOS ANGELES, February 9, 2017 – John Carpenter announced today via his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/JohnCarpenterTheMasterofHorror/) that David Gordon Green (Stronger, Our Brand Is Crisis, Joe, Pineapple Express) and Danny McBride (Alien: Covenant, and co-creator of HBO’s Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals produced by Rough House Pictures) will join the new production of HALLOWEEN for MIRAMAX®, Trancas International Films and Blumhouse Productions.

Green will direct from a screenplay by McBride and Green. As previously announced, Carpenter will executive produce with Malek Akkad producing for Trancas and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse. Green and McBride will also executive produce under their Rough House Pictures banner. Zanne Devine and David Thwaites will oversee for MIRAMAX® which is co-financing with Blumhouse. The new HALLOWEEN is slated for theatrical release on October 19, 2018.

Created in part by the multiple award-winning and legendary filmmaker Carpenter and financed by producer Moustapha Akkad in 1978, HALLOWEEN has gone on to become one of cinema’s most iconic horror franchises with a total of ten films that have generated over $400 million in worldwide box office.

Via Facebook John Carpenter said:

“So you say you want a Revolution?

You want to shake things up and bring back Halloween and make it rock again?

Well so do I.

So here’s the announcement you’ve all been waiting for:

David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are joining the project to complete the creative team.  David and Danny will write the script together and David will direct.  I will continue in my executive producer role to consult and offer my advice and feedback as needed.

David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and … WOW.  They get it.  I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away.

I might even do the music.  Maybe. It could be kind of cool.

And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018.”

David Gordon Green said: “John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ was a monumental horror film experience for me and millions of film fans.  It’s an honor to be working with this creative team to carve a new path in the tale of Michael Myers.”

Danny McBride said: “David and I are thrilled to step outside of our comedic collaborations and dive into a dark and vicious horror. Nobody will be laughing.”

Malek Akkad said: “It’s been a long journey with many starts and stops, but I can honestly say that I’ve never been more excited than by the team that we have assembled for the new ‘Halloween’. I truly feel this film will thrill fans, old and new, as well as being a high point in this legendary franchise.”

Carpenter is repped by APA and Stankevich Law. Both Green and McBride are repped by CAA.
