We broke the news back in September that Robert Longstreet (“The Haunting of Hill House,” Doctor Sleep) will be playing original Halloween character Lonnie Elam in Halloween Kills, the father of actor Dylan Arnold‘s Cameron Elam from the 2018 film. Speaking with Bloody Flicks this week, Longstreet teases his role – and the nastiness of next year’s sequel.
“Lonnie is a complicated, troubled guy who is haunted by his past,” Longstreet explained. “Particularly chickening out on going into Michael Myers’ house when he was a kid. I think this broke something in him that fucks with his manhood. The Elam family is very unorthodox. They love drugs and alcohol more than most. David said a funny thing to me about that. He said ‘Lonnie knows his wines.’ Ha!!! I don’t think I’m a very appropriate father but I love my son.”
The actor added:
“I don’t think I can say anything about Halloween Kills except it might be the nastiest of all of them. It has some terrifying scenes in it.”
Halloween Kills will arrive in theaters on October 16, 2020 followed by Halloween Ends on October 15, 2021, with David Gordon Green returning to direct both films.
