Alan B. McElroy talks Halloween 4, Wrong Turn & trilogy idea ”Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max”
Big thank you to one of the best writers, producers, and directors in the industry Alan B. McElroy for coming on my show for an interview! Alan discussed how he started to write at an early age, learning how to write a screenplay by studying Bill Lancaster's screenplay of John Carpenter's The Thing, and being inspired to write horror movies when he saw Jaws in the movie theaters. He discussed writing the script for Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers in just 11 days, talking to Donald Pleasance on set, and his idea for Jamie Lloyd becoming the shape not carrying over in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. He got into what he would do with Halloween III: Season of the Witch if he was approached with the story for a prequel or sequel and possibly create a Haddonfield series. Alan also talked about writing the cult classic 2003 film Wrong Turn, the original idea that he had for it, and putting a spin on his own work for his 2021 version of Wrong Turn. He mentioned that he has an idea for a trilogy for the new Wrong Turn and is already pitching it. He also got into his experience of writing for Star Trek: Discovery and Vampire Diaries. It was recently announced that Alan is writing a new thriller called Help involving Tyler Perry and Jason Blum. Stay tuned!
