SPECIAL GUEST STARS!

Peter Mayhew "CHEWBACCA"
The decision to cast Mayhew as Chewbacca proved wise. The giant actor threw himself into the role with great determination. Shortly before filming began on Star Wars, Mayhew visited a zoo where he studied the movement of bears, monkeys, gorillas and other animals with traits reminiscent of a Wookiee. Once inside the costume, Mayhew created one of the trilogy's most memorable and popular characters. Although Chewie's vocalizations were later dubbed into the film in post-production, to cue his fellow actors Mayhew simulated the character's dialogue from within the mask. On set, he was known to growl, grunt and shriek.

Tony Moran "Michael Myers"
Michael Myers was born October 19th, 1957 to Ron and Edith Myers. He had One much older sister, Judith, who was 17 and a younger sister named Laurie who was 4 years younger. Michael was raised in an apparently normal upbringing in the small suburban town of Haddonfield, IL. He lived in the housat 35 Lampkin Lane. On October 31st, 1963, the day started out normal. Everyone was preparing for the excitement of Halloween and to forget about the chaos erupting all over the world. Michael dressed as a clown for his First Grade costume contest. The day went smoothly. However, Michael had not been communicating with anyone for the past 6 months. He was practically a mute, much to the worry of his parents and principal. Once Michael got home, he cradled his baby sister, Laurie in his arms with the clown mask on. Soon after Michael goes out trick or treating, while his parents attend the evening showing of Alfred Hitchcock's ''Psycho''. He goes to his own home with a group of kids ,banging on the door. Judith anwsers the door with a large candy bag. She places a small handful in each child's bag. Michael spies her boyfriend Steve wiping his face quickly, trying to cover the fact that they were kissing. This infuriates Michael and the rest is Horror History!
