Nick Castle Revealed The Hardest Scene For Him To Shoot In The Original HALLOWEEN

The original Halloween was a great experience for actor Nick Castle, although he recently admitted not everything was a great time. The actor spoke to Vanity Fair about the hardest scene he shot for the original time and had no issues pulling that one out of the memory bank:

The most difficult scene is easy for me to remember. It was a scene shot in the middle of the night, where Michael jumps on top of a car as he’s escaping the mental hospital. It wasn’t freezing, but it was in the mid-40s. I was in a hospital gown and underpants. I don’t think John let me know what he had in store for me.

He turns to the crew and says something like, 'O.K., start the water cannons.' The hospital’s sprinkler system was more like a fire hose. The water arced into the air, and when it came down on me, it felt like icicles hitting me on the back. He yells 'action.' It was the most painful thing I’d ever experienced outside of a broken arm. That was the one scene that I really remember thinking, 'Maybe I should have got more than $25.'

Castle probably should’ve, especially considering his performance in the original film is one of the things that made the franchise what it is today. The new Halloween is in theaters October 19th.
