‘Halloween’ (1978) Remake Officially Confirms Full Cast, Includes 5 Returning Actors

Since its release in 1978, John Carpenter’s Halloween has become one of the most influential horror films ever made, spawning multiple sequels, reboots, and adaptations.

Michael Myers remains one of the genre’s most recognizable villains, and the franchise continues to find new ways to bring him back. The same can be said about characters such as Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis, who were portrayed in the films by Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence.

Now, an official remake of the 1978 film has confirmed its full cast, and it includes many returning characters and actors from the Halloween films.

Halloween: The Game, described by developers IllFonic as a “reimagined extended cut” of the 1978 film, recreates Haddonfield as it appears on screen and brings back several characters, allowing players to take on the role of one of the “Heroes of Haddonfield” in a 1v4 asymmetrical online multiplayer game, or as Michael Myers himself in a single-player story.

Several Halloween Actors Have Returned

Several cast members were confirmed prior to the game’s release in September, including Chelsea Krause (Laurie Strode), Kaitlyn Robrock (Annie Brackett), Angela Carbone (Lynda van der Klok), Nicholas Leung (Bob Simms), Colin Mahan (Dr. Loomis), and Nick Castle (Michael Myers).

Now, IllFonic has revealed many more voice actors, including Allegra Clark (Jennifer Aarons), Ryan Colt Levy (Eric Dunn), Zeno Robinson (Thomas Armitage), Ariana Rosario (Rachel Calahan), Javier Prusky (Marcus Navarro), Anairis Quinones (Tanya Harrison), and Spencer Charnas (Richard Hawthorne).

In addition to those new characters, several other familiar faces have also returned, with Joe Ochman voicing Sheriff Brackett, Chelsea Rebecca as Judith Myers, Quinn Kitmitto as Lindsey Wallace, and Heather Gonzalez as Nurse Chambers.

Some familiar actors also return in the new game: Kristina Klebe, who played Lynda van der Klok in Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007), voices Alexis Purcell; Ken Foree, who portrayed Joe Grizzly in the same film, voices Midnight Kingston Pearl; and Mickey Yablans, who appeared as Richie Castle, one of Tommy Doyle’s bullies, in the 1978 film, voices a police officer in the game.

However, they aren’t the only returning Halloween actors. Colin Mahan, who voices Loomis, previously portrayed the original version of the character through voice work in Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills (2021). Actor Nick Castle also returns as Michael Myers.

The official description for Halloween: The Game states:

“Boogeyman or Hero: The Boogeyman is out. Team up in a 1v4 asymmetrical horror showdown on everyone’s favorite night of the year. Choose to save the quiet town of Haddonfield from bloodshed as a Hero of Haddonfield or stalk and terrorize the residents as Michael Myers.”

The game is scheduled to receive its first DLC on October 27. It will feature new locations inspired by Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989). Future expansions will likely continue to draw from other films in the franchise.
