Judy Greer plays Karen Strode, the daughter of Curtis’ character.
Curtis’ character was unceremoniously killed off in Halloween: Resurrection in 2002, but in true sprit of the Halloween franchise, the film will be ignoring the continuity of many of the sequels. Curtis has been in four films in the series, including the 1978 original, its 1981 sequel, 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and Resurrection.
Master of horror John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on this film, joining forces withJason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity).
