It looks like Jamie Lee Curtis won’t be the only original cast member of Halloween heading back to Haddonfield for the upcoming sequel/reboot, with Bloody Disgusting revealing that Nick Castle will be back to terrorise Laurie Strode as Michael Myers.
In addition to Curtis and Castle, the new Halloween will see Judy Greer (War for the Planet of the Apes) playing Laurie’s daughter Karen, and Andi Matichak (Orange Is the New Black) as Karen’s daughter Allyson. Stunt performer and actor James Jude Courtney has also signed on to portray The Shape in certain scenes.
