Here are some of the memories I captured from my October, 2008
trip to "30 Years of Terror" in Pasadena, Calif.:
This is me standing in front of the
home used as the Myers house in the original "Halloween" and its first sequel,
"Halloween II." The structure is
now utilized as a Real Estate office.
Here is a broader view of the home. While it was not altered structurally
since the 1978 film was taped, it was moved a short distance.
Brian Andrews, front, who played Tommy
Doyle in the original "Halloween," greets fans, with Charles Cyphers, who played
Sheriff Leigh Brackett in the original "Halloween" and its first sequel, in
front of the original Myers house.
This is the Myers house used
in Zombie's "Halloween" remake.
This is the
exit of a school that a soon-to-be victim of the young Michael Myers runs out of
in Zombie's "Halloween" remake.
Dick Warlock, who portrayed Michael Myers
in "Halloween II," stands on the porch of the home used as the Strode residence
in the original "Halloween."
This
is the elementary school used in the original "Halloween." The angle this photo
was shot from is also the same perspective Michael Myers had when approaching
the school before briefly following Tommy Doyle.
Cyphers recites his most famous line from Halloween
in the very location he said in the original "Halloween." He said, "You know,
it's Halloween. I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare," to a spirited applause from fans.
This
is the Wallace home from the original "Halloween." The majority of the murders
took place here. However, only the
outside of this home was used in the movie.
While
the exterior of this home was not used in any of the "Halloween" movies, the
interior was used as the Wallace house throughout the first movie for many of
the film's most memorable and suspenseful scenes.
This
is the exterior of the Doyle residence in the original "Halloween." The famous
scene where Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie character is trying desperately to get in
and escape an approaching Michael Myers was filmed here.
Members
of the bus tour speak with tour guide Melanie Mullen near the Doyle and Wallace
residences. Nearly a dozen buses transported several hundred people around
Each morning, convention participants lined up
outside the Pasadena Sheraton to gain access to the question and answer sessions
and autograph sessions. Those 300 individuals who opted to get VIP passes
received two extra hours of exclusive access to the movies' casts and
crews.
Danielle
Harris, center, was by far the most popular star there. Her line to receive a
photo and autograph stretched more than an hour.
Props
used in the "Halloween" remake was on display at the convention - including a
picture the young Michael Myers created and several hospital and sheriff
badges.
Fans
lined up to get their favorite "Halloween" stars' autographs Saturday and Sunday
morning.
This is
the cast and crew of "Halloween II" answering fans' questions.
This
is the cast of Zombie's remake of "Halloween." Actors of this film stressed the movie
was more of an update than a remake.
This
was the most popular and highly attended question and answer session. It was the cast and crew of the original
"Halloween."
