The One In A Horror Movie

Most people can enjoy a good horror movie,
but can you enjoy one when you're dating the killer?

Let's throw this back to 1978, the year horror flick Halloween hit the big screen.

That year my mom was working at Warner Brothers studios where she met an actor. 
They went out on a date, talked about the glamorous life of Hollywood 
and he brought up a new movie he was going to be in. 

He told her he was a main character in Halloween and 
that she HAD to go see him in action. 
He got her and her friend tickets to see the premiere and 
so they went so see what this guy had to offer to the acting community. 

They sat through the whole movie and neither of them could spot him. 

A few days after the premiere, my mom met up with him again for another date. 
She brought up the movie and asked where he was in it. 
He then reveals that he was the man behind the mask.

Yes, my mom dated the serial killer from Halloween. 
The one that tried and FAILED to kill Jamie Lee Curtis for the past 5 Halloween remakes. Maybe if he succeeded it might have saved her from making Freaky Friday with 
Lindsey Lohan 25 years later...Just sayin'

So after hearing he was the masked killer, my mom could not get it out of 
her head and that is when the relationship sadly ended. 
Too bad, I could have had Tony Moran as my father. 

And yes that would be Erin Moran's brother. 
The girl from Happy Days and Jonie Loves Chachi. 
No? Still don't know who she is? 
Its ok, her career ended a while ago and won't be making a come back anytime soon.

So this may not have been a real Relation-Shit story but 
I did learn a valuable lesson from this. 
If you're going out with someone, find out more about their life before 
you go see them in a movie and find out they are a psycho killer.


Just Some Fun Facts From Halloween: 

Tony Moran was paid $250 for his role as the masked killer

Halloween was shot in 21 days with a budget of $320,000 
which is nothing compared to the millions movie makers get today

Due to its shoestring budget, the prop department had to use the cheapest mask that they could find in the costume store; a Star Trek William Shatner mask. They later spray-painted the face white, teased out the hair, and reshaped the eye holes. 

 Halloween went on to make $47 million in the box office which made 
it the most successful independent film of all time
