Kyle Richards, who appeared in John Carpenter‘s 1978 Halloween as Lindsey, the child that Nancy Loomis/Kyes‘ Annie Brackett babysits, was hoping to confront The Shape one more time.
The actress, who is now featured on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, told The Daily Dish and US Weekly that she wanted to appear in this year’s sequel so badly that she actually reached out to producers.
“I really wanted to be so badly,” she explained. “And I’ve never done this in my life. I literally reached out and said, ‘Can I be in it in any capacity? I’ll be an extra. I’ll do anything.’ But they didn’t think that it was going to fit in with the story or something.”
Ironically, the David Gordon Green-directed Halloween actually does tie directly into the 1978 film and brings Jamie Lee Curtis back for one final(?) confrontation with Michael Myers. Could they have made room for Richards’ now-adult character? Probably, but there’s nothing more distracting than an overabundance of cameos. Maybe they’ll pave the way for her character’s return in a future sequel? Thanks to Mike M. for the tip!
Michael returns to Haddonfield on October 19, 2018.
