Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)

Check out the all new HALLOWEEN 6 page at SET-JETTER.COM

With 2013 being the 35th anniversary of my all time favorite, Halloween, I wanted to update my filming locations for the series, which have been scattered throughout my blog.  I will update these pages as I add new locations and cast or crew.

One of my favorite films in the series is the underrated sixth entry, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.   This one captured the tone of the original and was released just before the new self-aware horror films took off after Scream.  Shot mostly in Salt Lake City with some reshoots in LA, I visited a few of the Utah locations in 2008 while I was in the area for the Sundance Film Festival.

First up is the new Myers house.   Although still not a ringer for the house used in the original film, its miles ahead of the one the used in Part 5.

Right across the street is Mrs. Blankenship's house where Tommy Doyle, now played by Paul Rudd, lives in the upstairs bedroom...

The college used has changed quite a bit, so there is not much to match up here.  Plus I came in the middle of winter, so it's definitely missing that fall look...

For the dedicate fans, you know this building (also used in Halloween 4) was used as an establishing shot for Smiths Grove....

However, for the reshoots in LA, this building entrance was used for Smiths Grove....

Throughout my travels, I have gone to some horror movie conventions and specifically the Halloween ones.  Below are some of the cast I have met over the years....

I love Tom Proctor who had only one brief scene in the movie, but re-enacted the whole thing on stage...

 And here is his "head" on the left....
