MVP was on hand this past Saturday night as the Halloween tribute film “Judith” premiered in Chapel Hill. “Judith” was written by Kenny Caperton – owner of the Myers House NC – and directed by Josh Hasty – director of “A Mannequin in Static”. “Judith” expands the story of Judith Myers and her influence on her serial killer to be brother – Michael.
Read the official synopsis from the Myers House NC website:
“TRICK-OR-TREAT! It’s Halloween day in the quiet rural community of Haddonfield, Illinois. Judith Myers and her best friend D’arcy Mims are planning a Halloween night campout at The Myers House with their friends. Judith is trying to forget the growing tensions in her family and wants to immerse herself in a carefree celebration, but her reclusive brother’s presence casts an ominous shadow over their cheerful preparations.
This short film breaths life into an often overlooked character from John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN – Judith Myers may have only had a short appearance in the classic film, but she nevertheless played a crucial role in the forming of the Michael Myers story. Director Josh Hasty (A Mannequin in Static) and writer Kenny Caperton (the creator of The Myers House NC) join forces to reinvent a classic character in an original new story.“

Your shi+’s hella cool and you made me aware of the Judith film and i’m stoked to see it. my blog is not at your level (yet!) but you may be interested because i explain an implausibility in the original Halloween that didn’t make any sense….but, hopefully, now it does. my site’s music first, movies with great soundtracks, second. check it out if you’d be at all interested. and, for halloween, i made a podcast of my favorite Halloween theme versions and you most likely haven’t heard a couple of them. long live michael myers. and your blog.
Thanks for the kind words! Judith was a pleasant surprise to me as well! I hope you enjoy the site!
