Michael Myers actor from Halloween Ends responds to fan criticism about trilogy's finale

The Halloween saga between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers has come to an end – but the frightening finale wasn’t the showdown some horror fans were expecting.

In the days that followed the film’s debut, some Halloween Ends viewers quickly expressed their disappointment with the story’s conclusion, which was something that actor James Jude Courtney, who portrays Michael Myers, says their team was expecting.

“We knew that going in,” Courtney tells 3News in an exclusive interview. “To me, making a movie is very much like playing football. If you’ve got a chance at winning a championship, you’ve got to buy into the coach’s program. David Gordon Green (the trilogy’s director) is remarkably talented. As a creative, you’ve got to take risks. We knew going in we were taking risks, but that’s what we do. If you don’t take a risk, if you don’t do something different than somebody else has done before, then you’re just rehashing the same old crap. Who wants to do that? So we knew that going in. The great news is that people care enough that there’s controversy. I’m just happy that people pay attention enough and care enough. Some of the fans, man, they will go frame by frame and they will look at every single nuance. That’s really great. It’s great to be collectively so involved with a project and be so passionate about it.”
