The Return of Lindsey Wallace

Lindsey Wallace All Grown Up
Kyle Richards

With the announcement that Anthony Michael Hall will be portraying Tommy Doyle in the upcoming Halloween sequel, Halloween Kills I didn't think there was anything more that they could do to make me eager for October 2020. I was wrong...

Kyle Richards most known for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be reprising her role of Lindsey Wallace from the 1978 original. For those feeling a tad lost Lindsey and Tommy were the two children that Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode was babysitting on Halloween night (Yes, I know Annie was actually Lindsey's sitter, but honestly she really didn't do a good job of it now, did she?!) 

David Gordon Green really knows how to pay fan service and make a good movie as witnessed in Halloween 2018. He knew bringing Richards back to play the adult version of the character she portrayed as a kid would send us Halloween Geeks into a nerd frenzy. Mission accomplished Sir!

This Fan Boy is counting down the days until October 16, 2020...!!!

Jamie Lee Curtis

Winner!
Jamie Lee Curtis
Yep, I think the today's byline says it all, don't you? While she did not get nominated for her top notch performance as a PTSD survivor in Halloween, 2018 was indeed Jamie Lee Curtis' year.

Without her the forty year follow-up to the original Halloween would have been nothing. She was the key reason it was a success, that and good film making by David Gordon Green.

I know first hand that as many Halloween fans attended, there were a lot of people I know who said they were compelled to see it simply because Jamie Lee was in it. Oh, and many of these individuals had not seen the original. Really it wasn't necessary to enjoy this roller coaster which really could stand on it's own two feet without having viewed the 1978 classic.

The film was a huge hit and proved women of a certain age, over fifty can be a box office draw. In fact the biggest feather in Curtis' cap is that she had the biggest opening weekend at the box office starring a female lead over the magic number.

While she is simply presenting at this weekends Golden Globes, Jamie Lee is one of the true winners of 2018, acting award (which she does deserve IMHO) or not, Jamie Lee came, saw, conquered and won!
