David Gordon Greenmust have something special up his sleeve forHalloween Kills, because he’s been busy getting the originalHalloweengang back together. The latest OG cast member to join the decades-later sequel isNancy Stephens, who you may remember as Nurse Marion.
Obviously,Jamie Lee Curtisis back as Laurie Strode, andwe recently reportedthatKyle Richardswould return as Lindsey Wallace, one of Laurie’s young charges in the original movie. Elsewhere,Anthony Michael HallandRobert Longstreettake over the roles of Tommy Doyle and Lonnie Elam fromBrian AndrewsandBrent Le Page, respectively.
InJohn Carpenter’s 1978 classic, Marion Chambers (named after Marion Crane and Sheriff Chambers inPsycho) was a nurse at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, where she worked alongside Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance). When Michael Myers escapes the night before Halloween, he does so by stealing her car. The character was brought back for the 1981 sequel and played a more significant role, in that it’s Marion who tells Dr. Loomis that Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are actually brother and sister. In subsequent sequels, Marion and Dr. Loomis become romantic partners, and she is eventually killed off inHalloween H20: Twenty Years Later, becoming Myers' 67th confirmed murder victim, perHalloweenMovies.com, which broke the news of Stephens' return.
AfterHalloween, Stephens went on to marryRick Rosenthal, who directedHalloween IIandHalloween: Resurrection. The actress would work with Carpenter again onEscape from New York, and she also appeared inD2: The Mighty Ducks.
