‘Halloween Kills’ Will See the Return of Nurse Marion!

Published

on

It’s all in the family with the forthcoming Halloween Kills, which is bringing back several big names from John Carpenter’s seminal 1978 slasher.

The latest addition to the cast is Nancy Stephens, who portrayed Nurse Marion Chambers in the original film, reports HalloweenMovies. Interestingly, as the site notes, she also appeared in the 1981 follow-ups Halloween II and 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Here, she begins a new timeline alongside Jamie Lee Curtis‘ Laurie Strode and Kyle Richards‘ Lindsey Wallace, with Anthony Michael Hall taking over the role of Tommy Doyle and Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam.

As Fandom recalls, Nurse Marion played an intricate role in the first film: “Marion Chambers was a nurse employed at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium in Warren County, Illinois during the 1970s. On October 30, 1978, she was driving back to the hospital with her colleague, psychiatrist Doctor Sam Loomis. A dangerous, homicidal patient named Michael Myers broke out of the hospital and accosted Marion in her car. She managed to get out of the vehicle, but Myers stole the car and began driving toward the town of Haddonfield.”

David Gordon Green co-wrote the Halloween Kills script with Danny McBride and Scott Teems, and he will be returning to direct. He’ll also be directing 2021’s Halloween Ends.

Halloween Kills will arrive in theaters on October 16, 2020.
