Learn how a legendary director and horror icon got his start. Before Nick Castle directed classic films like 'The Last Starfighter' or 'The Boy Who Could Fly' or 'Tap', he had already won an Oscar while still a student at USC. Surprisingly, it was Nick's desire to direct that ironically led him to claim the iconic role of Michael Myers, as Nick was the first man to wear the mask in the original 'Halloween.' Nick also is the screenwriter for the Spielberg film 'Hook', as well as John Carpenter's 'Escape from New York.' In this podcast, Nick recounts his start in Hollywood and what it's like to put back on his Michael Myers mask for 'Halloween 2018.'
