The Cast of Halloween Kills: Where Are They Now?

Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode

As the franchise star, Jamie Lee Curtis once again reprised the role of Laurie Strode.

Although the actress has been involved in the Halloween series since the first film debuted in 1978, she shelved the role for some time and only came back after her godson, Jake Gyllenhaal, nudged her to do so in 2017.

"I was sitting in the exact place I am sitting right now when my phone rang, and it was Jake Gyllenhaal," she told SFX magazine in 2022. "I picked up the phone, and he said, 'Hey Jame, my friend David Gordon Green' — who he had just worked with on the movie Stronger — 'would like to talk to you about a Halloween movie.' That was in 2017, in the summer. The last thing I thought five years ago [is] that I would be doing would be a Halloween movie."

Needless to say, Gyllenhaal's phone call worked: Curtis reprised Laurie in Halloween Returns (2018), Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends (2022), the presumable closing chapter of the long-lasting movie franchise.

Still, her reach is not just limited to the slasher series. In 2023, the veteran actress snagged her career-first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). Curtis also took home her first Emmy for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series in 2024 for her role on The Bear as Donna Berzatto.

Since then, Curtis has portrayed Dr. Tannis in Eli Roth’s film adaptation of the popular video game series Borderlands (2024) and delivered what Variety chief film critic Peter DeBruge hailed a “force-of-nature supporting turn” in the Pamela Anderson-starring drama The Last Showgirl (2024).

Looking ahead, Curtis will reprise her role as Tess Coleman in Freakier Friday (2025), the highly anticipated sequel to the Disney remake Freaky Friday (2003). In November 2023, Deadline confirmed her casting in James L. Brooks’ upcoming comedy Ella McCay (2025), starring Woody Harrelson and Ayo Edebiri.

The actress has two TV projects forthcoming at Amazon Prime Video. Curtis will appear in the crime drama Scarpetta with Nicole Kidman, per The Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline has reported she'll both act in and executive produce the Margo Martindale-led The Sticky.

Curtis is married to Christopher Guest, the filmmaker behind This Is Spinal Tap (1984) and Best in Show (2000). They share two daughters: dancer Annie Guest and gaming editor Ruby Guest, who came out as transgender in 2021.

Dylan Arnold as Cameron Elam

Dylan Arnold first joined the Halloween franchise as Cameron Elam in 2018’s Halloween. Though the up-and-comer is still in the early stages of his career, he has snagged some incredible roles thus far, indicating we'll be seeing more of him in the future.

Before Halloween Kills, he appeared in films such as Fat Kid Rules the World (2012), Laggies (2014), Mudbound (2017) and After (2019). He’s also been seen on Netflix's Into the Dark and was one of the main characters on You season 2, alongside Penn Badgley and Victoria Pedretti.

On the big screen, viewers might’ve also recognized Arnold as physicist Frank Oppenheimer in the Oscar-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer (2023).

Judy Greer as Karen Nelson

Judy Greer came into the franchise playing Laurie's estranged daughter, Karen Nelson.

Since making her debut in the horror film Stricken (1998), Greer has become a mainstay in Hollywood, appearing in classic movies like The Wedding Planner (2001), 13 Going on 30 (2004) and 27 Dresses (2008).

Greer has landed roles on several acclaimed television series, including Arrested Development, as the quirky Kitty Sanchez, and Archer, lending her voice to the unpredictable Cheryl Tunt. Even before Halloween Kills, Greer made big-screen appearances in box-office hits like Jurassic World (2015), Ant-Man (2015) and 2018’s Halloween. She scored several more acting credits in 2023 with projects like White House Plumbers, Aporia and Eric LaRue.

On the way, Greer stars in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, premiering in November 2024, and will appear in season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me, per Deadline. 

Greer has been married to television producer Dean E. Johnsen since 2011.

Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson

Andi Matichak played Laurie's granddaughter and Cameron's girlfriend, Allyson Nelson, who was introduced in 2018's Halloween and reappeared in Halloween Ends.

On working with franchise star Curtis, Matichak told ReMIND magazine in 2021, per TV Insider: “Jamie is an incredibly generous human being. … I’ve learned so much from her as an actor, as a storyteller, as an artist, as a woman, as a woman on a set. I’m just so proud to be a part of it and to be included in this legacy and involved in something that is this unique and special.”

Though she's still a rising star, Matichak had multiple roles under her belt before joining Halloween Kills, including series like Orange Is the New Black, Underground, Blue Bloods and Foxhole. In 2021, she starred with Emile Hirsch in the horror film Son from Ivan Kavanagh.

Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam

Though Lonnie Elam was introduced in the original series, he didn't become a major character until Halloween Kills, in which he and an angry group of fed-up residents of the fictional Haddonfield, Ill., plot to end Michael Myers' reign of terror once and for all.

Playing the character was Robert Longstreet, whose impressive résumé includes appearances in Sorry to Bother You (2018), Judas and the Black Messiah (2021), Pieces of Her, I’m a Virgo and The Fall of the House of Usher. He was also known for his roles in The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep (2019).

Coming up, Longstreet will appear in Adam Hoelzel’s upcoming crime thriller Tender with Jesse Garcia and Jess Weixler, Deadline reported. Additionally, the actor is slated to be in the coming-of-age comedy This Too Shall Pass, per Screen Daily.

Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace

Fun fact: Long before Kyle Richards was bringing the drama on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she was an actress — and one of her first roles was Lindsey Wallace in the original Halloween back in 1978.

Though she had other parts — starring in series such as Little House on the Prairie, Down to Earth, ER and many others — Richards reprised her role as Lindsey in Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.

"I'm very grateful to have this opportunity to be playing Lindsey since I was 8 years old," Richards told Screen Rant in October 2022 while promoting Halloween Ends. "From the very beginning to the very end. I know very few people can say that, and it's a unique position to be in. I'm very grateful."

After Halloween Kills, Richards appeared in The Housewives of the North Pole (2021) and on the Hilary Duff-led How I Met Your Father in 2023. The following year, she booked roles in the LGBTQ+ romance movie The Holiday Exchange and Beautiful Wedding, the Roger Kumble-directed rom-com starring Dylan Sprouse and Virginia Gardner.

Richards and her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie, were married from 1988 to 1992. They welcomed a daughter, real estate agent Farrah Aldjufrie. She married again in 1996, tying the knot with Mauricio Umansky, with whom she has three daughters: Alexia Umansky, Sophia Umansky and Portia Umansky. They later separated after 27 years of marriage in 2023.

Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle

Unlike Curtis and Richards' characters, the role of Tommy Doyle has been played by several actors. Brian Andrews depicted the little boy in the original 1978 film, but in the '90s, a young, promising actor by the name of Paul Rudd stepped in to fill the role in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995).

Seasoned actor Anthony Michael Hall took over the character in Halloween Kills after booking parts in The Dark Knight (2008) and on shows like The Dead Zone, Psych, Awkward and The Goldbergs. More notably, he gained fame in classic Brat Pack flicks like Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985) and Weird Science (1985).

Speaking to Screen Rant about taking on Tommy in Halloween Kills in 2021, Hall said: “I … felt excited by the way David [Gordon Green] really saw Tommy as kind of like the eye of the storm. He's leading the town and leading the charge. I've never had that kind of a specific hero's part; I was really jazzed by that. And because of the fact that it's basic good versus evil, everything was very clear for me.”

Since appearing in the slasher, Hall has been featured in the drama film The Class (2022) and the action-packed Trigger Warning (2024), starring Jessica Alba. Next up, audiences can catch him in season 3 of Amazon Prime Video's Reacher, per Deadline.

Hall has been married to model-actress Lucia Oskerova since 2020. They welcomed their first child, son Michael Anthony Hall II, in 2023.

Nancy Stephens as Marion Chambers

Another Halloween mainstay, Stephens originated the role of Marion Stephens and played the character numerous times throughout the franchise, including in Halloween II (1981) and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998).

For the most part, Stephens stays out of the spotlight, though she's had small roles on Cheers, Beverly Hills, 90210, Ally McBeal and Boston Legal in between playing Marion.

Before Halloween Kills, she had taken a break from acting for nearly two decades. In 2024, she made another rare return to the screen in the LGBTQ+ horror movie Ladybug. According to Deadline, that same year, Stephens received an executive producer credit for the documentary The Shepherd and the Bear, which premiered at the 2024 Camden International Film Festival.

Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers

If you ever wondered who was under that petrifying mask in the original Halloween, look no further.

Film director and screenwriter Nick Castle originated the role of Michael Myers (a.k.a. The Shape) and later reprised the part in 2018’s Halloween, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. He also shares credit in the final trilogy with actor and stunt double James Jude Courtney, who had bit parts on series like Babylon 5 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer before joining the movie series.

In addition to his involvement in the Halloween franchise, Castle’s other film credits include Escape from New York (1981), which he co-wrote the screenplay for; The Last Starfighter (1984), which he helmed; and The Boy Who Could Fly (1986), which he wrote and directed.

Castle has been married to actress Charlene Nelson since 1981.
