HALLOWEEN: INSIDE STORY Premiers Tonight on BIO

It is hard to imagine the history of horror movies without thinking of Halloween. It’s even harder to celebrate the holiday without catching the John Carpenter movie at least once on the many television channels that it gets played on.  Is there anything that can be said or written about the film that redefined horror and helped usher in the slasher genre?  Well the TV channel BIO (Biography) is taking a stab at revealing some juicy new info.  Their new documentary Halloween: Inside Story is premiering tonight at 9/8c.  The two hour special captures new interviews with John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Rob Zombie, film critics, and many others, while also revealing behind the scenes footage from the film.  Find out more about the documentary from the director himself beyond the break.

Horrorhound  recently had an interview with the doc’s director, Phil Nobile.  In the interview he explains why this special will be different than the ones you may have seen before.

“I was proud enough that we got Carpenter, Dean Cundey, Tommy Lee Wallace, Jamie Lee Curtis, PJ Soles, Nancy (Loomis) Kyes, Brian Andrews, Charles Cyphers, and Nick Castle (who tends to not do these things). But Kyle Richards, who played Lindsey, has never spoken about Halloween before, and we got her. Tony Moran, who played the unmasked Michael Myers, has never done a doc before this one, I don’t think. Will Sandin, who played Michael Myers as a child! John Michael Graham, who gets famously stabbed to the wall. I have to thank guys like Anthony Masi and Sean Clark for putting me in touch with so many individuals. We really tried to get everyone, and thanks to archival footage, even folks who are no longer with us such as Debra Hill, Donald Pleasence and Moustapha Akkad all have a voice in the doc.”

Remember to tune in to BIO tonight, October 25 at 9/8c for Halloween: Inside Story
