BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) -Michael Myers is one of the most iconic horror movie villains of all time.
With 13 films in the Halloween franchise, the movies have seen multiple directors take on the famous character since his 1978 debut.
The Three spoke with film director Dwight Little, who in 1988, brought Myers to the big screen in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.
Little said his passion for movie making started in high school. He felt fortunate to be accepted into the University of Southern California’s film school.
“Back in those days, it wasn’t very common,” Little said. “People didn’t go to film school very much.”
He said since then, an interest in studying film has grown, and he felt inspired to write a book about his experiences hoping it would help others.
Little’s book Still Rolling: Inside the Hollywood Dream Factory is available now.
A movie he’s well-known for and said is one of his favorites to create was Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.
“We went back to our roots to sort of walking those streets at Halloween and I felt like we were able to really make a spooky Michael Myers movie,” Little said.
He said what makes a great horror movie is the suspense.
“I think of them all as thrillers,” Little said. “I’ve done quite a few action thrillers, murder, mystery, thrillers, horror thrillers.”
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers is available on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and YouTube TV.
