I thought, 'I wonder if this great performer would do that again, would like to go there,' and I think so."
"Halloween Returns" is expected to be a direct sequel to 1981's "Halloween II" and will ignore all subsequent sequels and remakes. The main lead will be that of Gary Hunt, the deputy who accompanied Dr. Loomis to the school...
